It’s Testimonials Like This That Remind Us Why We Go the Extra Mile
Moving to North Carolina was a big decision for Rich and Laura Morales. Their journey led them to trust Jessica Pherson and the team at Mantle Realty. Through exceptional service, dedication, and personalized support, Jessica made their relocation experience smooth and stress-free — proving why finding the right real estate agent truly matters.
Meet Rich and Laura Morales
Rich and Laura Morales relocated from Illinois to North Carolina, a big move filled with excitement — and plenty of challenges. Unsure about the area and needing a local expert, they trusted a family recommendation to connect them with Jessica Pherson at Mantle Realty. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of their real estate journey.
How Jessica Became Their Trusted Guide
When their relocation journey began back in January 2022, Rich and Laura quickly learned that moving across states isn’t as simple as moving across town. They needed an agent who was knowledgeable, patient, and resourceful. Jessica immediately stepped in — introducing herself via email, learning their needs, and planning visits every time they traveled to North Carolina to house hunt.
What stood out to the Moraleses was Jessica’s unwavering availability and responsiveness. Whether they needed homes to view, advice about neighborhoods, or help navigating a tough market, Jessica was ready with a plan, properties lined up efficiently, and expert local insights.
Facing Challenges with Confidence
Searching for the perfect home from a different state was no easy feat. Online photos can only tell you so much — and not knowing the local areas made it difficult to decide where to even start looking. Rich and Laura leaned heavily on Jessica’s advice, knowing they could trust her honest opinions about locations, builders, and future resale potential.
And when existing homes didn’t meet their wishlist? Jessica suggested pivoting to new construction and land purchases — a whole new ballgame that she helped guide them through, step-by-step.
Jessica’s Commitment Set Her Apart
Throughout their entire three-year journey, Jessica remained a steady and supportive partner. As Rich put it:
“Jessica wasn’t just working for a paycheck — she was working for us. She wasn’t pushy, she wasn’t rushing us to buy just anything. She listened to what we wanted and stayed committed to helping us find it, no matter how long it took.”
Jessica’s professionalism, patience, and resourcefulness made all the difference. She kept detailed notes, followed up on every little detail, and stayed in touch through every twist and turn — including helping them navigate the intense, custom-build process for their dream home near Greensboro’s Lynwood Lake.
The Mantle Mafia Difference
When you work with Mantle Realty, you’re not just another transaction — you’re family. As Rich and Laura learned firsthand, once you’re part of the #MantleMafia, you’re in for life. Whether you need advice next month, next year, or five years down the road, we’ve got your back. That’s the Mantle promise.

Final Thoughts from the Morales Family
