My experience with Bluefield Realty Group has been amazing. From the moment I requested information on a property they have went above and beyond for me. I was contacted by Adriana and she set me up with Seth Reynolds for a viewing. She was very friendly and helpful. Really made everything easy around my schedule and got things done very fast. She also sent me other places to look at. Seth meet with me and from the minute I ask for help from Bluefield Group he was working to try and get me what I wanted. He was extremely helpful in the process of looking over the property and made me feel like

The Bluefield Realty Group were a pleasure to work with. Our Realtor, McCallie Winstead, was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire purchasing process (even afterwards), and was instrumental in securing us our home when market inventory was having trouble meeting demand. Would highly recommend them for your real estate needs.

I could not be happier with Sophie T. my realtor. I cannot imagine anyone going beyond anymore than she did to assist me with me in my relocation. I felt as though she made my relocation as easy as it could be and could call her or text me with any concern and she would assist and I would not have to worry about it being done. She was with me the entire way and even came by on move in day. My only negative with Bluefield was with the insurance broker, I felt as though there was no organization or something. I felt as though I was the one who had to do all of the follow up calls and work. Sadly

Bethany C. secured the perfect house for us, from start to finish, in barely over a month! The house was on the market for less than 2 hours when Bethany was letting me inside for my first showing. Bethany assured us that she would put our prior house-seeking nightmares to rest and she did just that. Highly communicative, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful at every turn. Thank you, Bethany and Bluefield Realty for the great home-buying experience!

This company was absolutely wonderful! From the first day When I seen the house (loved it in the pictures) in one of the real estate apps I called about it and Bluefield realty group was on it….honestly it was maybe 2 days from the first call till we were under contract we met Beth Walkonen at the house that evening same day as I first called about the house and she was amazing! I never had to wait on any information she was always up front honest and very thorough! She kept her word about everything if she said she was gonna call you back she did if she said she would check on it she did…

I worked with Brit and my experience was great! She was in constant communication with me through the entire process. I never felt like I was “just a client”. I always felt like she supported me and my needs as a home buyer. She never once pressured me into a closing or made me feel like I needed to close. She was super helpful and I’d recommend her to any homebuyer looking for an agent! She treated me like I was a member of her family and I can’t thank her enough for helping me through this process!

We worked with Bianca Conway, and I can't stop raving at how amazing, professional, and hardworking she and her team are! The fact they helped so much to make this transition to a new state so easy and efficient is really amazing experience! We were shocked on getting a little thank you gift because honestly, we weren't expecting anything but the keys to our new home! Thank you so much for all you guys have done to make this house buying an amazing experience!!

I worked with Amy Taylor to purchase/build my first home. Amy is extremely knowledgeable, kind, patient, and responsive. She walked me through every step of the process and was always there to answer my millions of questions. If she did not have an answer, she knew who to ask and got me the information I needed almost immediately. She goes over and beyond! I was apprehensive about the whole process at first, but Amy made me feel at ease. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be working with her again in the future.

Claire was amazing right off the bat! My husband and I were buying a home remotely and was assisted in the most friendly and responsive manner. She always answered our questions promptly and would seek out answers that she didn’t readily know. Claire was very knowledgeable throughout the entire process and made us feel like we weren’t pressured to making any decisions without fully informing us about the home buying process. We are 1000% happy with our experience with Claire and the Bluefield Realty Group and are excited to be living in our dream home.

DO NOT USE YOSTINA ABERCROMBIE AT BLUEFIELD REALTY GROUP. SHE WORKS FOR THE SELLER NO MATTER WHAT! Buyers beware! We came across an awesome home in Gaffney, SC and decided to make an offer to purchase. Unfortunately our Realtor we usually use did not have access to the Cherokee County MLS so we were placed with a local agent. At first this agent seemed to want to help us; however, then tried to get us to make a higher offer than we were willing to pay (this was due to the seller painting over a beautifully decorated home and two years of neglect). My husband and I requested to see the property
