Testimonials
Reviews of John Becker - Bald Head * Exit Smokey Mountain Realty Franklin, 28734
The Best Realtor in Franklin
"If you are serious about selling your property, call John Becker. Period. It's that simple. After listing our house with other agencies in Franklin that didn't even bring a single offer, Bald Head had one in hand in less that 2 weeks. In fact that same weekend, he had four other properties under contract. Amazing! He's a marketing maniac with a killer website who is honest, humble with a can-do attitude and is a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. If he can do this in a down market, imagine what his future holds. He deserves more than just a 5 star rating." Roger & Peggy Tompkins Aug. 5th 2010
After a span of three years and mulitple realtors, we engaged John to market our mountain property. It sold within a short period of time. He is creative, extremely honest, hands-on, organized and efficient. His love of the Smokies is infectious and his knowledge of the area is impressive. You won't find a finer realtor in the area - or, for that matter, in most areas. Dick Leitgeb
Judy and I sold our house in a matter of hours. We ran into John quite by accident. John came to our house, explained our options. We signed on with John, and before we knew what hit us our house was SOLD! John followed up on every detail. He took care of every concern that arose. DO yourself a favor. If you want your house sold, list it with John.
We originally contacted John because he had the best website of anyone. He maintains the site & it is current!! John is absolutley the hardest working realtor we've ever met. He always answers his phone & does everything he says he's going to do. We are now the proud owners of a log cabin & 3 acres of the most beautiful land in Franklin, NC. His sense of humor makes him a pleasure to work with! - Bill & Dorothy Fry
This guy is incredible. I honestly havent met a business man more hardworking than bald head. I mean just look at him, his advertisements are the best around. I met John about 4 years ago. I was very timid about the whole situation of selling my home...he put all my fears at rest and made me feel so comfortable. Check out his website, I promise no one around will showcase your home like he does. He is super smart at his business but on the same hand is a very common sense kinda guy. If you are looking to buy or sell then Bald Head is your man!
Not only was Bald Head incredibly knowledgeable about real estate, he bent over backwards to take extra pictures for me, answer any questions, ect.. while I am out of state. Without even a meet!!! Unfortunately, as it turned out, I was unable to move at that time. He is incredible!! He still sends me information if something in the area comes up he finds might suite my needs. His energy is amazing, his heart is kind. I would recomend John to any and everyone!! Nina Culver

My husband and I have been working with and knowing John for five years. Not that he couldn't find us property, but Don and I waffled between building on our land or buying a home. John never pushed us and always accepted our decisions. He remained patient throughout and it finally paid off. Within one month we toured a home, decided to buy, and closed on it. John is extremely personable and likable. We would recommend him to anyone. Don and Rosemarie
John Becker has helped us look for property over the years and we find him to be extremely knowledgable, personable, and ever so patient! He really cares about his clients and goes the extra mile. He is without question the best realtor I have ever dealt with. He also is very funny, which helps a lot in the search process.

He is outstanding!"My wife Mandy and I began looking at homes in the Franklin area about a year ago. We had recently moved to the area, rented a home and begun our search. When we were ready to choose a Realtor, there was no question... John Becker was our guy. We had heard so many great stories about him from friends and relatives that it was an easy decision to choose John. He is outstanding! Knowledgeable, friendly, patient, honest, he truly cares about his clients. There were many times Mandy and I were ready to throw in the towel because things did not seem to be going our way, this in no way effected John, he seemed to work even harder for us! In the end, we found the absolute perfect home, John negotiated an exceptional price on our behalf and we could not be happier in our first home! Not only did we have a great experience with John, we made a great friend as well. If you are even considering a home search in the Franklin area, choose John Becker! You'll be glad you did!" Mandy & Jason Lail June 1, 2010

He is simply the BEST "3 years ago my husband and I saw a listing in the buyers guide that was listed by John, we just wanted a little information on it and were not completly sure if we were ready to buy, our journey then began. John got us pumped up to buy by showing us the home. Neither my husband or I were excatly sure what we wanted and our tastes are very different. John was very patient and persistant in helping us find a home we both loved. He met with us after hours, weekends and even once during a holiday. Not only did we find the best realtor with an abundance of information and knowledge, we also made a good friend. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.!"

John was the third realtor we engaged to sell our Otto, NC second home. After listing the property for a year and a half, John, with his creative and tireless dedication, arranged a sale within a few months. He proved himself to be very reliable, extremely well informed, always available, discreet, professional and ethical. I would engage him again in a "New York minute." January 17, 2010 by Richard Leitgebin Marietta, GA
John helped me locate a rental property a few years back and I found him to be a consummate, albeit unique, professional.

My husband and started looking in February, 2009 for a vacation home in the Franklin, NC area and purchased a home in July.By luck the first realtor we spoke with was John Becker with Exit Realty.One visit with John (aka Baldhead the realtor) convinced us that he was the person we would put our trust in to help us find the home we wanted at a price we could afford.John was very patient with us (mostly me) as we looked at many houses in the area and actually ended up buying one of the first ones he showed us.He always made time to fit our schedule.I saw a plaque somewhere that said "If you are lucky enough to be in the mountains, you are lucky enough".I thought this was great and sincerely feel that "If you are lucky enough to have John Becker as your realtor, you are lucky enough!"We feel very blessed to have John as our realtor and as our friend.
