Testimonials Like This Are Why We Do What We Do
Relocating to North Carolina is a big decision. For Rich and Laura Morales, it meant learning new areas, watching the market from a distance, and trusting someone to guide them through the details. With Jessica Pherson and the team at Mantle Realty, they found steady support and clear direction from start to finish.
Meet Rich and Laura Morales
Rich and Laura relocated from Illinois to North Carolina, and they needed help narrowing down where to live and what to buy. A family recommendation connected them with Jessica Pherson at Mantle Realty. That relationship turned into a long-term plan that eventually led them to the right home.
A Guide They Could Trust From Day One
Their relocation process began in early 2022, and buying from out of state added pressure fast. Jessica stepped in right away, took time to learn what mattered most to them, and helped map out each visit to North Carolina. She kept the search focused while still making sure they explored enough options to feel confident.
Jessica stayed responsive and consistent through every phase. Whether they needed feedback on neighborhoods, builder reputations, or market shifts, she offered honest answers and clear next steps. That made it easier to make decisions without feeling rushed.
Navigating Challenges With Confidence
Buying from a different state meant trusting someone who could tell them what photos and listing descriptions left out. Jessica helped them evaluate areas, spot potential red flags, and think through long-term resale value. That kind of guidance matters when you are trying to choose a home from hundreds of miles away.
When resale homes were not lining up with their wishlist, Jessica helped them pivot to new construction and land options. She walked them through the process step by step and helped them stay realistic about timelines, costs, and decisions. It turned a complicated switch into a manageable plan.
Commitment That Made the Difference
Over the course of three years, Jessica stayed engaged and stayed patient. Rich put it best:
“Jessica wasn’t just working for a paycheck — she was working for us. She never rushed us or pushed us into something that wasn’t right. She listened, stayed committed, and helped us find exactly what we wanted.”
Jessica tracked details, followed up consistently, and helped them navigate the custom-build process near Greensboro’s Lynwood Lake. From big decisions down to small questions, she stayed present and kept things moving. That level of support is what makes a long journey feel a lot less stressful.
