"""When we began house-hunting in Western North Carolina, Kim Bregman was highly recommended to us by trusted acquaintances, so we had great expectations of her as a buyer?s agent. She far exceeded our expectations right from the beginning of our search through the offer and contract process, and down to the last details of the inspections and purchase.
Because of Kim?s expertise, diligence, and efficiency, we were able to locate and acquire our dream home in a matter of days. We can?t imagine working with any other agent when looking for a home. Thank you so much, Kim"

""We were pleased to have Kim help us search for homes in the Waynesville, NC and surrounding area in 2006 and 2007 and she was extraordinarily generous with her time, expertise, professionalism, and was always fun assisting us in our search. We are very detailed home buyers and Kim always provided all the detail that we requested and gave her considerable expertise in assisting us with our decisions. We enjoyed our experience with Kim and would recommend her to others seeking a home in the Western North Carolina area. Besides providing real estate expertise she also recommended excellent places to stay, eat, and provided various contractor names for quotes and information."

""Kim's assistance with helping us find and purchase a second home in North Carolina was invaluable. We had visited the Lake Lure area and knew that we wanted to have a second home in NC but did not know about all the surrounding areas. I received a flier in the mail at our Florida home from Optima Properties and decided to contact Kim. Kim was a pleasure to work with and recommended that we expand our areas to include properties west, sout and north of Asheville as well. She pulled all the MLS listings that covered our targeted price points and provided insight to each listing with her knowledge of the area and second home nuances that we should be mindful of. Kim offered to meet us in Asheville and spent two days driving us around the NW North Carolina Mountains looking at all the listings we had identified. When we made an offer on a home she was very instrumental in securing the deal by assisting with the surveyor, home inspector and Title attorney. We would not have been able to have found the home that we did and been able to close on the home as effortlessly as we did without Kim and would Highly recommend her to anyone that is thinking of buying a home in NC as she can make the entire process very easy and enjoyable.""

""Dear Kim,
We are so glad to have had the opportunity to work with you on our quest to find business opportunity in North Carolina.

Your dedication to your clients, your knowledge and your professionalism paired with your delightful personality made it easy for us to work through this time of decision making.
Thank you so much for your time and effort."

""Kim Bregman, of Optima Properties made our mountain dream come true!
We were introduced to Kim through her advertising mailer in Delray Beach, Florida. Shortly after our first meeting, we traveled with Kim to the North Carolina Mountains to begin our mountain home search.
Under her detailed and planned itinerary, we were able to gather pertinent information and knowledge, which lead to our choice to where we would begin our exciting mountain experience.
We do, and will continue to refer Kim, to our friends who are interested in exploring options in the North Carolina mountain area.
Her guidance and knowledge lead us to a successful and smooth transaction, from start to finish. We cannot say enough about her professionalism and energy! "

""Whether or not you are a first time buyer, house hunting is a stressful experience, especially in areas and surroundings not thoroughly familiar to a buyer.
Kim Bregman of Optima Properties, could not have been more accommodating, patient as well as relentless in helping us in our search during our house hunting expedition in the Asheville, North Carolina area.
Everyday, under no pressure nor any loss of time, and starting early in the morning, the itinerary was efficiently planned, according to the information we initially provided. We visited several possibilities, with Kim, always very cheerful, expertly driving us within a radius of some fifty miles from where we were staying.
Unfortunately, due to the downturn in the housing market in Florida, we had to postpone our plans to acquire a new residence in the Asheville, North Carolina area. However, once we are ready, hopefully in the not too distant future, we look forward to working again with Kim.
We are most appreciative and thankful to Kim Bregman for her friendly manner and professional expertise, and her follow-up newsletters and bulletins are always full of informative and interesting subjects."

""Eric and I feel very fortunate to have met Kim when we began our search for a second home in the mountains. All we knew at the time was that we wanted to be in western North Carolina and somewhat close to Asheville.
Kim was wonderful at interviewing us to get a sense of our lifestyle, desires and budget and because of her vast knowledge of the area was able to help us focus on what was right for us. She spent days with us driving to remote golfing communities and small and mid-sized towns, always pointing out the pros and cons of each. When we decided to purchase land near Waynesville, Kim helped us evaluate the lot and negotiated with the developer.
We will be forever grateful for her help and advice. "

""Kim takes a personal interest in everyone she meets. I felt comfortable and confident with Kim as my agent from the first contact. When we spent the day together looking at real estate, I was very impressed with how well she had listened to what I wanted. Kim is knowledgeable with inventory in South Florida and North Carolina. She is up-to-date with laws and financing opportunities in both states, as well. While I did not purchase property in Western North Carolina at that time, Kim is the first person I will contact when I am ready to make a purchase."

""My husband and I can't thank Kim Bregman enough for her professionalism and diligence advising us on the sale of our home but helping us to find a larger home to purchase. We were moving at a time when our first child was just 2 months old and Kim handled most of the details, including the inspections, on her own and with great care so that we did not have to worry. She advised us at every turn and got us to and through each closing which both went smoothly. We recommend Kim to all buyers who are looking for a professional, competent, and caring realtor."

Kim puts real effort into helping her clients find what they like and I remember that we were often this first people to look at houses because Kim was so on top of the new listings that hit the market.
