Testimonials

"From the moment we were referred to Joe at Mountainscape Realty, we felt like we were his top priority every day. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and not one went unanswered. Joe is professional, thorough, kind, and patient.  He is very competent and guided us every single step of the way.  Not a day went by that Joe was not communicating with us and because of this, our experience was so much easier than we ever imagined.  He made a stressful process a little more enjoyable and could always put us at ease. We always knew if we reached out to Joe, he would answer very quickly and would explain everything so we could easily understand. We would recommend anyone looking to buy property to go to Mountainscape Realty. You will not regret it!"

"Mountainscape Realty is the go-to website to search Real Estate in The High Country!  I tell everyone I know who says they are interested in purchasing in The High Country to go to this awesome website! It's better than Zillow or any other resource I've found. I didn't know that two years later after finding this awesome companies website, we would be selling our Condo in the Boone area and moving to West Jefferson. I immediately thought of Mountainscape Realty and contacted them to assist us with finding our new home. Joe immediately contacted me back and our search began. Joe was very patient with us and showed us many nice options and we found our forever home in Jefferson Landing!  We were not familiar with Ashe County other than we loved the area and it was closer to my husband's job.  I can not thank Joe enough for his patience and kindness expressed to me during this process as sadly I was experiencing the illness and loss of my brother at the same time we were selling our Condo and looking for our new home. We could not be happier with our new home and new community!"

"I had a flawless experience working with Joe Chamberlain and MountainScape Realty. Joe was able to quickly find me a piece of land in a tough market. He kept me up to date with daily phone calls, and after working with many realtors in the past, I can truly say that Joe had my best interest in mind and still does. I still receive calls from him, just checking in and making sure I don’t need anything.  Joe knows the area/town extremely well, and anytime there were questions that needed answering, he was able to get them very quickly. Truly, it was a great experience. Thanks for putting my best interests above all else!!!!"

“I have worked with Joe and Mountainscape Realty on two occasions, once seven years ago when selling a home and most recently this year when purchasing a second home.  Joe was tireless in his efforts to find us a property that met our needs and desires. Joe worked hard to coordinate the viewing of the property, leading us on virtual tours as we were physically located in Florida during the search process. Once we identified our property, Joe worked to get our offer in shape, advising us on how best to structure our deal. During due diligence, Joe was a great help in coordinating the various inspections needed to complete the transaction. On the closing day, Joe met us at the closing attorney's office and walked us through the process. This is the first home I've attempted to purchase from such a great distance; I'm sure we could not have completed the purchase without Joe's expert assistance."

“I highly recommend Joe Chamberlain, Broker-Owner of MountainScape Realty. Based on social media recommendations, I contacted Joe to represent me as a buyer’s agent for a large undeveloped parcel for personal use. Joe was immediately friendly, helpful, and followed up from our first call, unlike my experience in other counties with other realtors where I was considering large parcels. I found Joe to be very knowledgeable and experienced in real estate and mountain properties. Joe was extremely patient with me, given my hands-on personality. He was exceptionally professional and operated in good faith to all parties. Joe was always available, very responsive, and gave his full attention when we spoke. Joe would often just call to check in. Never did I feel rushed or hurried. Instead, he took the time to explain processes in detail and made excellent recommendations throughout our negotiations and diligence period. I am thrilled to have such an incredible place in the mountains with Joe’s help. I have been through many personal real estate experiences, and by far, Joe has been the best to work with. I exceedingly endorse his services, and if the time comes will work with him again!"

“As a Rotarian for more than 40 years, it was important to me to find a realtor who subscribed to Rotary's ethical standards, as well as being knowledgeable about real estate. Joe Chamberlain is a Rotarian himself, and was always honest, conducted himself with integrity, and always had our best interests in mind.  He assisted us by explaining some of the unique aspects of mountain home purchasing and helped us find our new home after working with us for more than 2 years.  We would recommend Joe Chamberlain without reservation to anyone who is looking for a realtor with integrity, perseverance, and knowledge. Joe is "good folks!"

“Joe Chamberlain offers and delivers the very best real estate services I have ever experienced. I had multiple listings for a cabin and lots. All were closed successfully in just a few weeks. No need to look further than Mountainscape Realty. Joe is an expert in the intricacies of buying and selling real estate. He has the knowledge and experience you can rely on. Not a blade of grass grows under Joe's feet. He's a great communicator you will want on your side!"

"We recently purchased a beautiful log home near Boone. Several months ago, we contacted MountainScape Realty. From the beginning, Joe was totally professional. He was patient, showing us many properties over several visits to the area. During negotiations with the sellers, he gave sound advice and stood up for us as buyers. Over the years, I have purchased a number of properties but never have I had the kind of service and attention to detail Joe Chamberlain gave us. I would strongly recommend MountainScape Realty to anyone buying or selling their home!"

“I engaged Mountainscape Realty to list two of my properties in Ashe County, NC. Joe Chamberlain was my agent and did an outstanding job in marketing and selling both tracts of land. I have known Joe for several years and have always been very pleased with his prompt responses to any questions I have asked him and have admired his zeal and hard work ethic he has used in enabling the sale of my properties. Joe was always very knowledgeable, informative and, I believe, instrumental in securing for me the best price for my property possible. I would recommend Joe to anyone seeking a hard-working and ethical realtor to manage the sale of their property."

"My wife and I used Joe Chamberlain with Mountainscape Realty to list and sell a home in 2018. The property had been a rental for us and we decided to sell so we were not onsite. Joe did a great job, always keeping us informed of different showings, potential buyers' comments, and offers. He made sure that when the house was under contract that everything went as well as could be expected. I would recommend Joe to anyone and in fact, have already recommended him to several other people."

"I have used Moutainscape's services to purchase two properties in 2020. Each transaction was handled with polite, thorough professionalism! I was kept in constant contact during each phase, so I always understood how the process was coming along. From inspections to the closing table, Joe looked after our best interests. No surprises at the end...Mountainscape Realty had us covered!"

"Looking to buy in an area that is three hours from our permanent address was a bit overwhelming until we found Joe!  We appreciated his knowledge and how genuine he is.  We were first-time land buyers and felt comfortable asking him questions. He took his time talking with us throughout our search and also when driving us around to see available options. We enjoyed hearing his stories about the area and look forward to building soon! We would use him again and of course, would highly recommend him to anyone. Our buying process was quick and easy even though we were hours away!"

“My wife and I recently listed and sold our home through Mountainscape Realty. Joe and Scott kept us informed throughout the process. Both were always available to answer our questions or concerns. Following our move from the area, we realized that we missed our friends and the mountains so much that we did not hesitate to return to work again with Mountainscape Realty. We asked Sue to help us find another smaller mountain home that we could use as a family retreat.  Sue spent several days with us, viewing more than a dozen homes before we found the right one.  She was patient, helpful, and determined to find the right fit for us, and for that, we are grateful. We highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the High Country.”

"Joe Chamberlain was referred to me by people I respect in Ashe County. My sister and I were pleased with the service we received once we engaged him.  He provided excellent insight as he plotted a course of action to meet our expectations. I would utilize his services in the future and recommend him to anyone seeking a first-class Real Estate agent."

"Joe Chamberlain, Mountainscape Reality, guided us through a quick acquisition of a beautiful West Jefferson, NC cabin. Joe did a great job of working with us on negotiations and inspections. Also, he directed us to the only insurance agent at State Farm that would write our homeowner’s policy. No other insurance agents were willing to write the policy on a wood cabin outside of West Jefferson at the time."

"We enjoyed working with Joe on the sale of our river property. Joe was very attentive to our needs and worked hard to get us the best price. The sale was seamless, and Joe was always available to answer questions. We recommend Joe very highly!"

"Joe listed and sold a lot in Village on the New for us. In meeting with Joe, we quickly realized he is not the average realtor agent. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market. He explained all aspects of the process. He’s a pleasure to talk with on a personal level; he’s sincere when he speaks with you. He wants what is best for you and does not put his own personal interests ahead of the client. I would highly recommend anybody interested in real estate contact him. I know I’ll not hesitate to utilize his skills and professionalism in the future."

"We started looking for property in Ashe County around 2002. We were in school at Appalachian back in the '70s and knew someday we would come back. We looked on our own by making day trips to the area from our current residence in Randolph County NC. Over the years we must have made at least 100 of these trips. We finally got serious about moving in 2015. We started with a different agency from the area but that didn't work out too well. We then decided to find a realtor that we felt would really work for us and do all the " little " things that would be needed to show us any and all possible properties that might suit us. We did our research and came up with Mountainscape Realty, and more specifically Joe Chamberlain. We felt like Joe would go above and beyond for us so we called him and made an appointment to meet and look at a few homes at that first meeting. We were right. Joe and his staff did everything we asked him to and much more. After getting into this we discovered how much there was that we did not know. We also realized on that first trip with Joe that we really did not have the right price point as our goal and needed to wait a while for our circumstances to change to allow us to get the home we really wanted. To complicate things we weren't sure if we just wanted a 'vacation home' or a permanent home. No matter what we threw at Joe he was patient with us and helped us work through all the details to get what we wanted and not what he 'thought' we wanted. We were very naive about the workings of the business and Joe guided us every step of the way. Joe stayed in constant contact with us and kept us up to date as the market changed radically in the spring of 2018. After personally taking us to visit 18 or so homes we found one that we all three felt was just right for us. We knew immediately it was right but Joe did not stop there. He took us through every step of buying even though we were 'out of town'. Most of this was done on the Internet which was all new to us. Joe explained the details and set everything up for us so that the 'closing' was very short and easy. We would, and have, recommended Joe and Mountainscape to many. Thanks, Joe, and we look forward to many more years of friendship with you and your people!"

"My husband and I recently relocated to Ashe County and purchased a home in Jefferson Landing.  Joe and all of the Mountainscape team were wonderful to work with and very helpful to us.  Joe showed us around the area, made himself available for all of our questions, and helped us find the folks we needed to help us get the house ready to become our home.  We would highly recommend them!"

"Joe Chamberlain and his Mountainscape Realty team have our highest, most enthusiastic recommendation as the premier "go-to" real estate experts for anyone seeking to acquire property in the Ashe County area and/or in the surrounding region. Highly professional and knowledgeable, Joe and Sue Leserra provided us with exemplary service and support throughout our recent real estate purchases in Ashe County, and they expertly facilitated the smooth, flawless execution of both transactions. In addition, Joe is a U.S. military veteran, so he has an intuitive understanding of the needs and concerns of veterans who are looking to transition into the Ashe County area, which was very important to us after our 30 years in the U.S. Marine Corps. Our overall experience with Joe and his Mountainscape Realty team has been simply outstanding, and they have our strongest possible endorsement. We will definitely be doing business with Joe and Mountainscape Realty again in the future

"Joe was a pleasure to work with. My wife and I wanted to take advantage of the low housing prices and low-interest rates to buy our retirement home. We knew we wanted to be along the Blue Ridge but did not know about the specific communities. Joe's knowledge of Watauga and Ashe counties was invaluable. He showed us dozens of houses and found the perfect house for us. He also expedited the closing and has continued to help us as we settle into the area. Thanks, Joe!"
