Here's what people are saying about me....
Dear Kathleen: Please excuse our delay in sending you this thank you letter. We would like to express our appreciation for the exceptional manner in which you assisted us in building a bridge between our dream of buying a home here in Asheville, NC and making it into a reality. Your timely and excellent solutions helped us find a home within four days. You were able to keep focused on the boundaries of the price range plus location we were searching for.
In our point of view your enthusiastic willingness to Listen then acknowledge the concerns we had by following through with the actions has clearly made you an outstanding asset to the real estate profession. All your dynamic determination to resolve issues for us such as moving back to this country from overseas and not having a home to use as a base each day with the added situation of two dogs (that are our children.) You extended yourself beyond the parameters of just finding us a home to quickly finding a hotel that we could stay at that would except us together with our "kids." Second, to our surprise you were even open to looking at a home with us that was for sale by owner as we drove with you looking at the homes that were on your inventory list. Third, once we did discover the home we ended up buying you extended yourself far beyond any real estate professional has done in our past. That is you made the numerous phone calls to set up appointments for us to talk with the different finance people in town, plus expedited all the inspections we wanted, in addition found a lawyer to do the contract so we could close in just a couple of weeks.
From our first phone call to you until the receiving of our keys to our new home, your professional attitude of finding the right home for the right person took over. The result for us working with you Kathleen, we were impressed at the skill you have to organize yourself to have most answers right at your finger tips or just a phone call away. This was a delight because going through the process of buying a home has at times its moments when speed can be of the essence. As in our case of the home we bought just coming on the market as we were searching through the multiple listings with you on your computer. We were the first to see this home and the first to quickly put a contract on it.
Any buyer or seller can appreciate how important it is to feel as though their needs are being met. We certainly want to thank you again on the positive approach you demonstrated towards us with your outstanding kindness to make our relocation a much easier one.
For us, Kathleen it’s you sharing your extraordinary gift with everyone you encounter which touches so many lives every day in every way . We are delighted that our paths crossed. Your real estate professionalism will keep customers satisfied and continuing to do business with you . We look forward to future business dealings with you Kathleen.
Wish you a joyous holiday season plus a happy and prosperous New Year ! Thank you again.
Sincerely yours,
Lori, Lizzie, "Lucky," and "Chispa" (the "kids")
If you are looking for a Realtor who will deliver the utmost in professional service with friendliness, intelligence, elegance and drive, ask for Kathleen Blanchette. I first came into contact with Ms. Blanchette in late summer 2000 when I was looking to purchase my first home. She actually found me after doing a bit of research, and said she thought she could help me find the right property.
Kathleen listened carefully to what I was interested
in and we were able to locate the perfect place on
our first day
of searching. She guided me expertly through the entire process of applying and
securing my financing, reassured me through any questions or doubts I had, and
made available all the information I needed to make the best choices regarding
my lender, insurance companies, and house inspector. Kathleen is
successful due to her tenacity, and her work ethic, her honesty and her
intelligent ability to deal with everyone with respect and diplomacy. She
knows her business extremely well and brings the highest caliber of sales talent
to her work. She truly seeks to serve and is a model of dependability.
Kathleen is thorough and meticulous in her work. She left no detail unattended from helping through the entire process of buying and closing on my house down to the smallest details such as making sure I had the complete list of utilities and phone numbers I needed to call to receive service. At every turn, she has been available to answer questions or to solve any problems. Since the time I purchased my first house, I subsequently became engaged and got married. When my husband and I determined that we wanted to sell both our homes and buy another that would work best for both of us, Kathleen listed both of them, and found a buyer for my husband’s house immediately.
My home took a bit longer, but she did her utmost to market it and it too went under contract and sold. Her organizational skills and her business savvy are unparalleled in my experience. To find such an honorable, well organized, bright, energetic, attractive and earnest individual as Kathleen is very rare. I can and will recommend her services with no reservations whatsoever."
Sincerely,
Julie Hart Powell
"Our movers
are scheduled for this Saturday. What a great joy it is to be moving into our
beautiful new house! We know we would not be moving in right now if it were not
for the multiple talents and dedication...

Like a private eye, you investigated each of our separate interests and tried to fit the scattered pieces of that puzzle together into a concept of a house that would match all of our needs. Like a research specialist, you carefully reviewed new listing every day to find candidates that might fit our concept house. Like a taxi service, you were available nearly around the clock to cheerfully takes us to the far reaches of the county in search of the right house to match our dream. Like a publisher, you printed out more copies than the city newspaper prints, all about the many houses we considered. Like a psychologist, you willingly listened to our frustrations.
You patiently allowed us our fluctuations and inconsistencies as we struggled with what it was we really wanted in a house in our new life in Asheville. Like an international mediator, you were our liaison and guide through several high-stake negotiations. Risking glossing some of the many other talents you shared with us, let me get to the most important. You are our true friend - you let us have a little time when we were discouraged and then you gently motivated us to keep believing in our dream. You demonstrated, over and over again and without consideration of the cost to yourself, that you would do whatever it takes to insure that we found the absolute right house for us. You did it! You are a true friend. We are very grateful."

Kathleen Blanchette of Keller Williams Professionals
helped us find our new house this past spring. Kathleen
provided us with very personalized services handled in a helpful and
professional way, making our house search as painless as possible. We had very
specific criteria to meet in finding a new house. Plus, for financial reasons we
needed to sell our old house ourselves. In spite of these challenges, Kathleen
worked very hard to find the kind of house we were looking for.

She called us almost daily with a list of potential houses to check out. She did the research before she called us with this list in order to weed out any houses that would not meet our needs -- this was a great time saver! Kathleen even went the extra mile to view FSBO homes that met our criteria. In the end, it was a FSBO home that we purchased with her assistance. We are thrilled with our new home! It is just the right home for our family, and we would not have found it without Kathleen's persistence and assistance! Thank you Kathleen!

We had our move from Texas planned out to the last detail. We were moving a
home Stained Glass Business, 3 dogs and a 16 year old boy. Then... our house in
Texas sold the first day it was on the market and the buyer wanted to close
within 30 days. We had 5 days to find a home in Madison County North Carolina.
Before we even arrived in N.C. Kathleen Blanchette, had begun looking for a
house that would meet our needs. She faxed us several properties to look at and
checked the listings every day sending us any that might meet our criteria. We
had an appointment with Kathleen on Monday morning. Her state of the art
equipment in the office allowed her to show us picture and descriptions of what
was available. This was very important because we didn't have time to drive out
and look at properties that would not meet our needs.

We had questions about resale value of our home as we plan to build on some land we bought. Kathleen helped us to choose properties that would increase in vale, Kathleen Blanchette is a true professional. The way she spoke to people and set up appointments was a true testament to her professionalism. She was always straight forward and concise, making sure that we were making the most of our limited time. We found the perfect home for us; It had to have yard space for the dogs, it had to have a mother-in-law plan for the teenager, and it had to have space for a home business.
The only problem was that while we were writing up our offer another person got their bid in before us. We were devastated, we had 4 days left to find a home. Kathleen stayed on top of the situation, there were questions about the bidders financing, made calls and consulted with other professionals to make sure she helped us to do everything in our power to make this work. It became apparent, we had to start our search over.
Kathleen got back on the computer and with two days left, found us another property that was even more perfect than the first one. Her professionalism and knowledge allowed us to formulate an appropriate bid and secure a contract on our dream home. Of course it didn't end there, we had a few problems when the inspection came back.
Kathleen helped us to have those corrected to our satisfaction. She went out of her way to make it a smooth move. We have already recommended her to a friend who will be moving to this area next year. When we sell this home after we build, we know who to call: Kathleen Blanchette who is truly a Keller Williams Professional.
