Testimonials
"
Berkshire Hathaway Meadows Mountain Realty was professional and helpful in my real estate purchase. I worked with Don Collins and was very satisfied with the whole process. Don was extremely professional and friendly. Don made me feel comfortable with the whole search and buying experience. He took extra time to make me feel comfortable in every step of my purchase. Don was great at explaining the ins and outs of the area as well as providing honest insight on several properties we looked at. I feel like his professionalism and friendly demeanor contributed to me choosing the Cashiers area. Don is a great asset to your company and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking in that area.

Don Collins was a phenomenal help to us while searching for our perfect mountain home. He was more like a project manager than a realtor! Very helpful with finding, negotiating, scheduling trades/inspectors. He was great. Highly recommended.

From the very beginning, Don went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. His professionalism, extensive knowledge of the local market, and genuine helpfulness made all the difference. Don was always available to answer questions, provide valuable insights, and guide us through the process. If you're looking for a dedicated real estate agent who truly cares about his clients, Don is the one to call!

We loved working with Don. After four years of working with us, we finally found a property. He is absolutely the most patient, knowledgable and accommodating realtor to work with. We hope to have some of our friends from home work with him in the future.

It isn't some much that I would recommend Berkshire, so much as it would be to recommend Don Collins. I have bought and sold many properties but Don is a real standout. He was incredibly patient (I don't like pushy brokers) and has gone above and beyond helping us get acclimated to owning a 2nd home.

Don Collins is an excellent broker. Don is extremely knowledgeable and was able to assist us with the matters that pertained to finding a vacant parcel of land to build a home on. Also, on a personal note, we enjoyed spending time with Don and look forward to being his neighbor in the community of Highlands, NC.

Don was extremely knowledgeable of the area and properties. Don provided a relaxing experience and we never felt like he was selling us on any property. He did his research and was upfront when a property had issues. If or when we decide to purchase another property Don will be our first call. Not that this means anything but this is the first survey I have done in 49 years. That tells you how much we think of him. Thanks Mike Watson.
