Kristie Brennan and her team at Vignette Realty were so friendly and honed right in on what I wanted to purchase for property near Franklin, NC. The first property Kristie showed me was exactly what I wanted and I ended up making the purchase with the help of her team! I highly recommend her as a realtor.— Judy Rex
Sky is very attentive and helped me stay calm in the middle of all the chaos that comes with surveying land and negotiating offers and counter offers. We were doing everything from out of state and she kept the process smooth and easy. I plan on using her talents again in the near future on another possible land purchase.— Serina Kietzke
We recently had the pleasure of working with Sky Golebiewski-Kral. She has our highest recommendation! What a wonderful and knowledgeable agent. She listened intently, asked the right clarifying questions, and had creative solutions to our search. Well done!— Eric Smith
When I began looking for a house in Franklin, NC, I expected to find what I wanted quickly because the market was in its hottest phase. That didn’t happen. I found many real estate agents over a year and a half of searching, but none of them were willing to do more than simply show me a house for sale. I met Sky when I redirected my search for land to build a house. She took control of the search and sent me properties that met my desired requirements, viewed every property with me, gave me sound advice about each property and its area, and expertly controlled the closing process to make it easy. I have recommended her to several people who are also...— Linda Ryan
The Vignette Realty team excels in collaboration! Their team worked closely with us to understand our unique needs and goals. We worked with Kristie Brennan and experienced the team's well-thought-out strategy that considers every aspect of the selling process. The team's attention to detail and timely communication were impressive. We found Vignette Realty prioritized our best interests, offering personalized guidance and support throughout the journey. The team has a thoughtful approach and based on reviewing other sellers' experience, we too experienced outstanding results. If you're considering selling your home, I highly recommend Vignette Real...— David Oakes
Personality Plus!...that's how I describe Kristie! She and her team spent a lot of hours searching for our "forever home", at least for now :). Would not hesitate to go back to Kristie for any future purchases. And by the way, she will be listing our previous home.— Karen Dempsey
Jeff was great to work with as we traveled to listings from Franklin to Murphy.— Michael Jordan
Jeff Willson did a fantastic job of bringing my new Hiawassee River retreat to me. The process of buying a new home could not have been any easier. He answered all my questions, did any investigating of matters that I needed, and communicated at all times what needed to be done. He was the easiest realtor I have ever worked with. If you are looking for something specific, he will find it for you. Thank you again, Jeff! I appreciate all your efforts in this endeavor.— Alison Carrillo
Excellent experience. 👏— Alexander Neach
Such a smooth and enjoyable experience working with Sky and her team! We were from out of the area, but from the first email and phone call we felt like Sky cared about our dreams of owning land in Western North Carolina. Being a hometown girl she explained everything from the weather to life experiences and sold us on wanting to be part of the community of Franklin, NC, we came down for a week and she showed us the perfect piece of land that included everything off our wishlist, within a few days we had everything done, we couldn't believe how easy and comfortable the experience was, Thanks again Sky and the whole Vignette Realty team for your help...— Brian Costa
Rashaune was great to work with. Super efficient & responsive - would definitely recommend!— Alberto Cappelleti
My experience with Vignette Realty, Kristie, and her team was no less than 5 stars! Recommended by a friend, Kristie was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and responsive throughout the whole process of selling my property. Even though I was out of state during the time of the listing/sale, Kristie's team kept me in the loop at all times and made the process a breeze. 10/10 would recommend!— Ryan Burgess
Rashaune was attentive to my needs and questions. They made sound recommendations that resulted in a relatively quick sale! Great experience!— Robert Cook
Jeff really went out of his way to make buying a new home a good experience for us. Since we were in Alaska at the time, dealing long distance was a bit more complicated. He helped us every step of the way!— Dana Rowlett
THE STARS ALIGNED!! 🌟 SKY! Sky, girl.. You are absolutely amazing at what you do. Not only did you help us close on our property in a record time of only 6 days because of our unique situation, but you helped save our fur babies as well which I'm forever thankful for 🙏🙌🫶 You are out of this world so your name Sky is so fitting! Your voice is so pretty too, especially when it's made up of pure kindness.. I finally found my go-to girl! Thank you for showing us that not all realtors are the same because you truly wanted to help & you did just that with such finesse. Our minds are blown & we are over the moon 🎑 Thank you so much for helping us stay...— Cheyenne Wade
Vignette was very easy to work with, they took great care of us. The team took amazing photos and video of the house, and they did all the legwork, organizing the survey and inspection for us. All in all, the transaction went very easily. I would definitely recommend.— Ashley Peterson
Billy and I really enjoyed working with Kristie and her team. Once we decided to list with them, they went into action and our listing was professionally done. Kristie guided us through the process of adjusting our price point when needed, and we felt comfortable with her advice. To help generate interest in our listing, she had the great idea of doing a Broker/Agent brunch at the house one morning which ended up producing a buyer that very afternoon. We are grateful for her guidance and completely satisfied with the outcome of our sale. A new family will now enjoy our house and we couldn't be happier for them. Thank you, Kristie and your amazing te...— Billy and Miriam Stripling
We recently purchased a home in Franklin NC. Our agent was Kristie Brennan with Vignette Realty. Kristie was wonderful to work with, we called her to look at another home and she was willing to work with our limited time. That home did not work out and after asking us what we were looking for Kristie was able to show us the home we bought. Kristie listened to us and the home was exactly what we were looking for. Because Kristie and her staff were so efficient we were able to close in a month. They took care of everything! Thank you so much Vignette Realty for all of your help, especially Kristie. We love our new home!— Mike and Monica Sheaffer
Rashaune and her team at Vignette Realty worked so hard to sell our house during a time when it just wasn't a seller's market. We had a pretty big snag along the way and they came up with new ideas and never lost hope. Vignette saw us to the "finish line." I would highly recommend them. They went above and beyond anything I expected.— Rebecca Frankel
If you want to get your house sold fast, I highly recommend Rashaune and Kristie! I did a pocket listing where my house was not even public, and Kristie found me the buyer and Rashaune represented me. The transaction went very smoothly! It was a high-dollar house of over $600k in Franklin. I tried a local company before them, called Bald Head, and they did not know how to close a deal. So look no further than Vignette Realty!— Colleen Kendall
Rashaune allowed us to take our time and worked with us to find the right property at the right price at the right location. Her timely follow up during the inspection and closing process put us at ease with the process and made the experience a pleasure.— Julie Lucas
The Vignette Realty team was an absolute delight to work with! Their attention to detail and promptness in making things happen was amazing! The team works very well together and puts forth the extra effort to ensure a smooth and expedient closing! We would highly recommend the Vignette Realty team to anyone looking for a professional, attentive Realtor.— Cheri Miller
Our experience with Vignette Realty made our house-buying experience so very special. We were not only shown the houses that fit what we were looking for but found Kristie Brennan was listening to everything we were saying. She showed us places in Franklin that answered many of our questions about the area. In the office, Amanda Bryant was quick to give us details and needed information and to answer any communication. At one time or another, everyone at Vignette Realty was there for us, making the whole process of buying our house a pleasant, happy experience. We highly recommend them and will use them in the future.— Erik De Jonge
Could not have been happier with the service and counsel we received from Rashaune and the Vignette Realty team! From showing to closing, I was blown away by the fact that I could call the Vignette office and speak to anyone, and they had a working knowledge of my transaction and could assist. As a fellow realtor in another state, I can't stress enough how rare that is. Kudos to Vignette for following through on a true "team" concept, and not just purporting marketing lip service.— Jake Lawhead
We met Jeff in August while traveling and on a spur of the moment, we saw a house on Zillow and asked to see it on a Saturday evening, within 10 minutes he called and arranged an appt for Sunday. We explained we were just getting started looking and weren't planning on buying until Apr or May '24. He showed us the house and asked a couple of weeks later if we were still coming down in Sept as we had already told him it was our plan, we picked out around 9 houses and he arranged everything, spending all Saturday with us listening to what we wanted. We would send an address and he would do a video tour for us and send it, always within a day of the re...— Tim Snyder
Jeff was great to work with! We were out of town buyers and he was super responsive and flexible with our schedule. He also offered to view properties for us and sent videos, so we could decide if we wanted to make the trip out to see something in person. He helped us deal with a few obstacles during closing and made the process a lot less stressful.— Elizabeth Scholtz
Kristie, Rashaune, and the Vignette Team are a world-class real estate firm! I have had the pleasure of working with them on a multitude of transactions and they always deliver!— Bryson Burt
You’re letting money walk out the door if you go with anyone else.— Ian Hoyt
Vignette Realty is absolutely the best! Rashaune was fantastic. This was our 2nd time working with her. She is very accommodating to our needs/wants. She made the sale of our vacation home a breeze. We highly recommend Rashaune and Vignette Realty. We will be contacting Rashaune again for our next sale and another purchase!!!— Enna
Just sold my land in N.C. I worked with Rashaune De La Cruze at Vignette Realty. Rashaune is very nice, she was very helpful, supportive, courteous and professional. I would count on Rashaune again to provide quality time and effort.— Susan Davidek
Working with Vignette Realty was a dream! Sky aided us in selling our home and made everything go smoothly. She was knowledgeable, professional, and just overall incredible. In addition to the agent herself being amazing, the photos and virtual staging of our property were so impressive. Vignette and its staff truly go above and beyond for you, the client. I can't recommend them enough! Thanks so much, Sky, for making this process so easy.— Kaitlyn Ledford
Kristie matched our property with the ideal buyers and worked tirelessly to get a very complicated deal to work for all involved. Great job!!— Rick Mathisen
It was a fantastic experience working with Ryan as my realtor. I was able to purchase the home of my dreams in record time with no blips along the way. Thank you!— Diana Merritt
Ryan Cote at Vignette Realty was amazing. He was dedicated in finding the right home to meet our needs, and was beyond patient, and helpful in loan process. We could not be more pleased with the overall experience, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the area.— Kristy Vickery
Kristie and her team are top-notch. They are kind, patient, and willing to help make the experience easy for the client. They made it clear that they wanted what was best for us. They are great communicators and follow up with what they say they will do.— Sarah Maxwell
We live in NJ and were looking to buy a house in the Franklin area (within a 75+ miles radius). Many thanks to Ryan at Vignette Realty for answering the hundreds of questions we had and either directly showing us the properties that fit our requirements or referring us to other real estate agents for properties that were way out of his area. He put up with the many texts, emails, and phone calls and provided us with a great education as it relates to the area and our expectations. He showed us many different properties and explained the pros and cons of each of them which made us feel more informed and at no point we felt pressured to make any offer...— Giulio Cifelli
Sky and the Vignette team are amazing! I was relocating from NC and needed a lot of help and hand-holding. Sky devoted 2 days to driving me around to look at properties and offered a lot of good insight. What she couldn’t answer, Kristie and the rest of the team jumped in and helped. I’m not going anywhere, but I’ll be sending people their way if someone is looking for property in the area.— Katie Kail
Jeff has been great to work with. Always responsive and was willing to go outside his normal coverage area when I expanded my search area. Very helpful with contractors and service contacts.— Enoch Needham
Two years ago we were looking for a second home to buy as a vacation place. We talked to three different realtors and decided to go with Rashaune De La Cruz because of her apparent knowledge of the area and her interest in finding just what we needed. She is friendly, courteous, and cares about her clients, as does the whole team at Vignette Reality. Two years later, due to health problems, we found keeping up with two houses was impossible so we contacted Rashaune at Vignette once again and she worked just as well at selling our house as she had at helping us buy. During the process, everything was handled in a professional, timely manner and went ...— Carolyn Bennett
Kristie and her team at Vignette Realty were the perfect group to work with. It’s a seller's market in WNC and we were one of many families who were putting an offer on our home within days of it being on the market. She helped us structure our offer which landed us the win! Prior to putting in our offer Kristie was available to show us a dozen homes until we found our match and was always available to take our calls. From the time our offer was accepted she and her team helped us through a seamless closing and provided us all the resources needed to get our new home set up. If you are looking to buy or sell this is who you want in your corner. We w...— David Newman
Jeff Wilson my real estate agent did a really good job to help me find a house that suited me perfectly. He made sure all my questions were answered and ended up fighting for me and getting a good deal. Jeff and the Vignette team worked with my closing agents to make sure they got all the information they needed for my closing to go quickly and easily. I would recommend the Vignette team if you’re looking for a real estate agent.— Vince Lovasco
We loved having Rashaune De La Cruz as our REALTOR®. She was very thorough, and I highly recommend her. It was a quick sale with multiple offers. We were very pleased and would use her again.— Jolan Bell
Kristie was recommended by a friend and she was exactly what we needed. Coming from S. Florida and trying to buy remotely in a competitive market was a challenge but Kristie was on her game. She visited any home we were interested in right away and took videos and Facetimed us during her walkthroughs! She responded quickly to text, calls and emails. It worked great and we found our mountain dream home. I would recommend Kristie and her team to anyone needing to buy a home.— Annette Southern
Sky was so helpful in our very fast-paced home purchase. We weren’t even pre-approved when we called her to show us a home, and she made time for us anyway. The next day, we were able to submit a winning offer. She was very helpful in setting up all the necessary inspections on our behalf since we lived an hour away and couldn’t be there ourselves. Thank you, Sky!— Mary Leavines
Rashaune and the rest of the crew at Vignette made our first home-buying experience very easy. Any concerns or questions of ours were quickly allayed with clear answers and directions. We would recommend Vignette to anyone looking for a home in beautiful Franklin.— Jason Anders
Rashaune was wonderful and very helpful!— Miranda Cook
This review is mainly relevant to Aliyah, our realtor. We did have limited contact with the company but most of our business was done through Aliyah. We looked at a lot of properties before we found the right one and Aliyah was always willing to meet us, no matter how far away it was, or how far properties were spread apart. She was very professional and, despite being young, she displayed maturity beyond her years. We found her honesty to be extremely refreshing, and she would always seek assistance if she didn't have the answer to any of our questions. I would not hesitate to recommend Aliyah to anyone looking to buy or sell a home— Michael Hill
Rashaune went above and beyond with a “difficult” seller and the complicated closing involving international signatures. She looks so young (to me, everyone does) but she is a consummate Professional. The office staff also assisted in a timely manner. What a team! I highly recommend Vignette over the slack “chain” branch realtors I used in the past.— Seven Rodgers
I have worked with so many REALTORS® over the years but I'd have to put Rashaune and The Vignette Team at the top of my list. Rashaune is an absolute pleasure to work with: knowledgeable, responsive, and professional in every way. And zero pressure. Rashaune didn't want to sell us just any house, she wanted to make sure she put us in a home that was perfect for us... and she did. And we will be forever grateful.— Jim Laffey
No pressure. Very pleasant and professional staff. High quality presentation.— Deena Bouknight
