Byrdie was such a wonderful guide and communicator throughout my home search. She stayed super on top of viewing schedules and made that part of the experience both friendly and special. She offered extremely helpful advice in regards to things ranging from paperwork to appliances and electrical work. She's also very community oriented, and was able to help connect me to important beneficial professional services. I loved working with someone I could trust to listen to my thoughts and also keep my best interest in mind.

I can’t recommend Byrdie Kent enough. Her curiosity, local expertise and genuine attentiveness made us feel like her only clients, even though we ultimately decided not to buy. From day one she asked thoughtful questions to uncover the “why” behind our wish list, listened closely to our lifestyle needs, then curated showings that fit our style and budget without ever wasting our time. My husband and I tended to find the homes we wanted to see, and she was always extremely prompt in setting up showings. As our relationship grew, she even began proactively sending options our way—something you rarely see these days. It was only because Byrdie truly listened and understood us that she could search alongside us and make spot-on suggestions. When we hesitated over offers or paused our search, she stayed patient, friendly and prompt. She guided us on when to push and when to walk away, and led negotiations with both professionalism and warmth. Every email, text and call felt personal, concise and respectful of our time. If you want an Asheville agent who blends deep market knowledge with genuine care and who will stick with you through every twist, choose Byrdie Kent. She turned a stressful process into a true partnership, and I’m grateful for her support every step of the way.

Byrdie is a highly involved agent who gives her heart and soul to this work! Byrdie and I must have looked at dozens of properties in a matter of days and then took time to really look at different ways to approach when I was finally ready to make an offer. She also allowed me to trust my own intuition when making the decisions. She is so caring and thorough and intuitive! I LOVE MY NEW HOME! Thank you Byrdie Kent, you are THE BEST.

Byrdie has been absolutely fantastic! Through the whole process of selling - from first pulling comps to helping us get mail that ended up at our old address - Byrdie was knowledgeable, helpful, thorough, and on top of her game! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the area. Byrdie - you absolutely rock!

— Randy , Weaverville, NC

Byrdie is an absolute professional with a cool authentic style. I moved from out of state so I had no idea about the areas in and around Asheville. She was full of knowledge and direction that was incredibly helpful. After we found a home that I fell in love with, it became clear it was going to be competitive and turn into a bidding war, which it did. Byrdie strategically devised a brilliant and competitive plan for us to execute which ultimately won us the contract and my dream home out of five other offers. The fun wasn't over then, though! When the buyers on my Colorado home fell through and we were put in a tough spot to renegotiate the entire time frame of our contract Byrdie kept completely cool and composed when the heat was turned WAY up. She shined and was so amazing! She kept the deal alive. I can't say enough about how proud I am to have her as my realtor. She is as good as they get and is so fun to work with. Thank you Byrdie! Milly and I are so happy.

We came to Byrdie as overwhelmed and terrified first time home buyers. Searching for our home in 2021 was no joke and I cannot imagine what the process would have been like without Byrdie by our side. She brought much needed levity to the process while also blowing us away with her knowledge of the market. She held our hand through several heartbreaks and difficult decisions while always offering us support and guidance. I often joked that she felt like our very own home buying doula. She saw us at some of our most vulnerable moments and always treated us with respect and kindness. She was on call for us throughout the entire process, knowing when to give us space and when to step in to offer advice. She is trustworthy and a must have for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Asheville area. If we ever find ourselves moving again Byrdie will be first on our list. We cannot recommend her enough!

Byrdie's realty services were fantastic! We’ve dealt with a variety of real estate professionals in both LA and FL and she stands out for her knowledgeable and friendly service. It was a pleasure to work with her! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to introduce us to the Asheville area. We appreciated the time she took to show us around (with kindness and patience with three kids in tow - they feel like they made a new friend in their new home city), answer all our questions, and provide balanced advice. She worked hard on our behalf! We appreciate it!

— Jenny , Biltmore Lake, NC

This was my first time buying a home, so I have no prior experiences to go by, but the standard has certainly been set! We visited about 40 homes in 1.5 months in all 4 cardinal directions of the Asheville area, often times going end-to-end on the same trip. Byrdie guided us with knowledge and enthusiasm the entire way. Home buying is going to be a process no matter what. If you are looking for a friendly, fun knowledgeable person who can keep up a furious pace, Byrdie is the realtor for you!

— Adam L. , Asheville, NC

We worked with Byrdie as both our seller's and buyer's agent, and she did an incredible job with both. As a seller's agent, her guidance on pricing resulted in rapid showings and a quick offer above asking price. As a buyer's agent, she was patient with our many questions. She helped us have the courage to ask for what we needed, while also knowledgeable enough to know what was reasonable, resulting in great concessions from the seller. When pandemic related hiccups happened, she was masterful in bringing the parties together to make sure everything happened. Also way fun to work with.

— Aaron M. , Asheville, NC

Where would my partner and I be in this world without Byrdie Kent?! Byrdie masterfully handled our buying situation, explaining everything along the way, no questions were left unanswered, and as first time buyers we had a ton! Byrdie’s exuberant personality and professional promptness made us feel welcomed and confident in the choices we were making. If you’re looking for someone to fully help you with buying a home, and you want them to help make it a low stress and joyful time being together, you can’t find anyone better than Byrdie Kent.

— Brandon A. , Asheville, NC

Byrdie truly has a gift for LISTENING, which was key in my home buying process. I expressed the vision I had for my home and together we honed in on the areas that would support this vision. I suggest you give her a call TODAY, you want her on your home buying team! I can go on and on about how professional, timely and supportive Byrdie was during this process. However, I think I will simply wrap up this review with some words of wisdom – Find yourself a Realtor® that will lay in the grass of your future home with you. This is Byrdie. She did this, with me as I was getting the full feel of my new home. Amazing job start to finish and I hope to work with her again in the future!

— Jill H. , Leicester, NC

Byrdie Kent is professional and down to earth! She helped us with the sale of our first home. My husband and I enjoyed learning about the importance of staging and being proactive with some small home upgrades that helped our house really shine. We were impressed with her aggressive and vast marketing plan. After we made the decision to use Byrdie’s help, a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. We were thoroughly impressed with her organization, attention to detail and following through on any issues that arose. We were always kept in the loop and our MANY calls were always answered. We truly valued her opinion and honesty. We ended up accepting an offer just 2 days after the house went on the market! The whole process went SO smooth and to say she made it easy is an understatement. Many thanks!!

My husband and I have never lived in North Carolina and currently live out of the country. So when we started down the path of looking to buy property in the Asheville area, we did not even know where to begin. That is when we came across French Broad Real Estate and got connected to Byrdie Kent. Our gratitude and appreciation for finding her is really hard to put into words. From the moment you meet her, it is as if you have been friends your whole life. She is so deeply committed to finding your perfect space and brings such a positive energy. She knows the area incredibly well and really loves where she lives. We looked at a lot of places and she was prepared, organized, and energized through long days. Especially when you are new to a place, it is so special to feel welcomed and embraced. Buying is not always easy, and we went through a lot of hurdles to close on our property. Byrdie was not only a consummate professional, she also went above and beyond, time and again, to help us get through it. If you are looking for a real estate agent who thrives on providing a warm heart and a personal touch to their business, this is the person for you.

— Amy D. , Marshall, NC

Working with Byrdie was fantastic. I felt like she provided solid guidance throughout the entire selling process. Communication was solid as well, I felt like I could always get in touch with her when I needed. Byrdie even advises us through staging and prepping the house for show and lent a helpful hand wherever possible. Fantastic agent. Thanks Byrdie!

— Brad S. , Leicester, NC

We’re first time home buyers and were pretty nervous with the amount of time we had to find and purchase a home. Byrdie has been a blessing when it came time to start the process all the way through to closing day. I work a lot of hours and didn’t have time to coordinate all the different functions during the process like getting an inspection scheduled or finding a local business to quote repairs. She was a rock star that not only was able to give me options but once I decided on a company, she reached out and got our new home on their appointment calendars. During the process we had lots of questions that some times popped up at off hours or late at night. She was quick to respond and if she didn’t have an answer, she was able to get the answer within 12 hours of the initial correspondence. She never made us felt like there was a lack of communication, miss-communication, incorrect communication. Overall a extremely great experience for first time home buyers!! I will and have recommended her for anyone looking for a home in the Asheville, NC and surrounding areas.

— Lee N. , NC

Byrdie was a great help to us as we navigated buying a home in a new state. She was supportive and helpful while we worked to determine our area of focus, she was pleasant to work with and incredibly responsive to our needs during the whole home purchase process. I am so grateful for her guidance – and we managed to have fun at the same time. Would recommend her services to anyone.

— Kelly A. , NC

We cannot say enough good things about Byrdie and the experience we had working with her. From start to finish, she was incredibly attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in us, not just in closing a deal. Byrdie's negotiation skills were outstanding, and we always felt confident knowing she was advocating strongly on our behalf. In what could have been a stressful process, she consistently made us feel supported, informed, and truly cared for. We felt like a priority every step of the way, and thanks to her guidance, we are now happily in our new home. We would recommend Byrdie without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional realtor.

Troy London with my firm recently had the pleasure of working with Byrdie on a transaction in Weaverville. This was a tricky situation as this was a second home for the sellers that we represented. Brydie was gracious, professional and an all around team player - it was the definitive collaborative effort! Thank you Byrdie! We look forward to working together again soon!

— Crickett Benfer , NC

Byrdie was the PERFECT partner in this home-buying and home-selling experience. We felt so well informed and educated throughout the process. She took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for, and guided us through these two VERY complicated endeavors with great results. 100% would work with Byrdie again!

— Gary Reckard , NC

Oh, Byrdie! What an absolute delight it was to find my dream home all thanks to her! As a first time buyer, I knew not a single thing about how to buy a home. Byrdie answered all my questions with confidence and knowledge that made me feel supported in my decisions. The experience honestly felt too easy. She's a wonderful and kind soul that honestly feels more like a friend than anything.

— Dominique Dellaria , NC

I hunted for a home for five years in Buncombe county from 2019- 2024 through COVID and Hurricane Helene. Throughout that time I was back and forth in service industry, 1099, and nonprofit jobs (as so many in Avl are) and was qualified multiple times throughout the years with all diff types lenders because of my households changing circumstances (USDA Direct, FHA, NCFHA, Nonprofits and Conventional). Byrdie stuck with it and helped me every step of the way. She helped me navigate a changing market and find a path to homeownership that was really personal. She communities with attention to detail, a clear sense of context, and a professional tenor while also somehow being so amicable, relatable and down to earth. She led the way through so.many.hurdles. that showcased her sheer professional grit and also offered gracious and grounding feedback when we faced scenarios that were new to both of us. Honestly for a long time there I thought it was impossible for a single parent millennial like me living in Avl to own a home. But I ultimately ended up in my dream home because Byrdie's professional approach was so creative and tenacious. Nine months after moving in with equity and new sense of stability I have absolutely zero buyers remorse, 100% would do it again with Byrdie, five stars.
