Bill Balatow

Jinii & Gerard K.

"From the moment Jon House answered the phone, we had great open communication. Team Balatow-House went out of their way looking at properties because we could not do so being we were long distance. They worked diligently on our behalf to get us answers and make sure we could get crucial things handled before closing. They always responded promptly to our calls, texts and emails and still do so. Jon & Bill also made the process fun with their generous jovial spirits, making an often stressful process far less stressful. I will definitely refer any of our friends or family to Team Balatow-House"

Emmanuel and Keerthi

Bill Balatow helped us buy our first ever house. He was a godsend. He is patient, enthusiastic, and extremely proactive - just what we needed. His wealth of knowledge is unparalleled; not only does he know everything about houses but he even goes the distance after we sign the dotted line. Thank you, Bill. We couldn't have done it without you. And when it's time to sell our house, guess who we are calling? Bill Balatow, yessir!

James and Kelli Stanton

Bill, Words cannot truly express how much we genuinely thank you for all of your hard work, help, support, time and dedication with helping us to get our new house. None of your acts of kindness nor your actions that went over and beyond the call of duty went unnoticed. You were simply amazing! When we wanted to fold, you kept us in the fight…..and in the end, with your help, we now call a house that we love, that we will raise our family in and have a lifetime of memories, a HOME! For that, for you, we are eternally grateful. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family! Again, THANK YOU! James & Kelli Stanton

Jon and Bill greatly assisted me in finding a new location for my business. They kept me informed every step of the way and assisted with sound knowledgeable guidance. Their friendliness and professionalism is top notch and I highly recommend using this team for your real estate needs.

Jody Hansen

From the first visit with Bill and Jon we have received extremely professional services. They wasted no time and went to work immediately. Pictures taken of our home and booklet were quite a work of art. Bill has been with us every step of the way and always accessible. Thanks to both of them.

Mike & Cathy Richard

Bill made himself readily available to us and went above and beyond the "call of duty" to make us feel comfortable. We would highly recommend Bill to anyone in search of a home, you will never feel rushed, or leave unsatisfied.

It took just over one month to sell our house & purchase another. We realize the superb effort you put into the process, the "fine points" you manipulated & the result. Please feel free to use this letter as a recommendation of your expertise to anyone needing a Realtor.

Aimee and Tim Enderle

After we found the house we are now living in, Bill did everything he could to make our purchase easy. He went above and beyond the call of duty. My husband and I will happily recommend Bill Balatow and Allen Tate Realtors to all our friends.

Jeff and Kathy Mullins

We just love the house and we are thankful for all the terrific legwork you did to get us into our house. We appreciate the way you walked us through each and every step. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking to purchase or sell a house.

Gail Shinn Miller

I really appreciate the guidance, patience & thoroughness you provided with the sale of my house. Everything happened so quickly. I know you had other clients, but you treated me as if I were your only client. You would definitely be the Realtor I would recommend.

“I want you and your wife to know that I have never forgotten your hospitality, professionalism, and personal touch when we first moved out here.  You uniquely combine competence with kindness, and that's a rare find.  If I can forward these comments to anyone of importance within your organization please let me know.”

            One of the first people I met when I moved to the area was Bill Balatow.  Bill was insightful, very easy and willing to communicate and a great ambassador for the area.  As I became more acquainted with my position as President of the Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce, I better understood Bill’s breadth of involvement in the community.  Bill has been the Chair of the Chamber’s Ambassadors, a member of the Chamber’s CEO Search Committee and currently serves as a valued member of our Executive Committee as Vice Chair with the responsibility of Member Relations.  Bill is well recognized throughout the community and is, typically, a name that comes to the top of mind when the question of community leadership arises.  He is a true asset to this community.

Irene and Joseph Galletta

Dear Bill: We’re writing this note to thank you and your organization for the outstanding efforts that you provided us in the purchasing of our home here in Charlotte, N.C.   Although we had very specific guidelines regarding prices for the homes we wanted to see for possible purchase, you were able to come up with exactly what we were looking for.  We realize that we put a lot of pressure on you to come up with this house in a very short period of time.  Considering that this purchase was a foreclosure and it involved more than an average effort on your part to complete the transaction, due to time limitations and immensity of the paper-work involved, ….  the final result is remarkable!! Now that we’ve moved into our home,  we are writing this note to express how wonderful our experience with you has been!  Everything is better than we could’ve hoped for.  Considering that we moved to a new state and had NO knowledge of the Charlotte environs,  we are absolutely delighted with our new neighborhood and we’re extremely happy with the neighbors we’ve met up to this point. We cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done for us!!   You are forever in our hearts and minds!!

Joe and Jacquelyn Burka

Please note my COMPLETE Satisfaction regarding your assistance as our Realtor - I hope this testimonial will be of use: Moving from 6 states away, my husband and i were in need of a realtor that was an expert in not only the home buying process but in the towns, neighborhoods and schools that would be appealing not only for us but for our children as well. Bill took his time and asked the right questions to ensure that the limited time we had to spend looking at homes was spent wisely. During our outings to view homes, Bill passed the time with humor and witty anecdotes, but also by providing us with crucial information about the towns and neighborhoods we were driving through which was essential to us ultimately making the best decision for our family. Bill proved himself a valuable resource throughout the sale process and after by providing excellent recommendations for inspectors to handymen - all of whom we will continue to do business with during our time in Charlotte. We consider Bill a friend, and are looking forward to working with him when finding a home for our parents and extended family.

John and Evelyn Drayer

            Selecting the right realtor to handle the sale of our Lake Norman home was very important to us. We welcomed Bill Balatow into our home and after an hour or so, my wife and I were convinced Bill was our choice. We gave no consideration to any other realtor, in part because of the excellent resources Tate Realty provided, and in greater measure because of the confidence gained in Bill during our first meeting.           When Bill gave us the price he would use to market the property, we were impressed with his knowledge of the property values of the lake property in our area. The next big thing Bill did for us was to guarantee that he had the people he would need to do everything to make our home as marketable and inviting as possible. He arranged for landscapers, septic tank inspectors, surveyors, home inspection, professional photography, and managed a myriad other details that convinced us we had made the right choice.           All the people Bill engaged to help us were superior in what they did, and how they related to us. It is no exaggeration to say they all became like family. Bill would drop by and head for the refrigerator to get a diet drink, knowing that we wanted him to feel right at home. He did. One day the topic of cleaning behind the refrigerator was mentioned and Bill knew neither my wife nor I had any business trying to do it ourselves. He got the vacuum, moved the refrigerator, and cleaned behind it, disregarding the dress shirt and tie he was wearing!           Another example of Bill’s willingness to go above the call of duty occurred when contentious neighbors fretted to him at great length over the disputed property line that the surveyor had delineated. Bill tactfully withstood their ranting, but furthermore, he had to deal with the irate homeowner who called Bill at home late that same night. He gave me very good advice in how to deal with this issue which I followed to the letter.           The house went on the market on Tuesday. Thirteen showings began on Wednesday. A prospective buyer saw the property on Thursday and made an offer on Friday. By Sunday, we had a signed contract for close to the original asking price. The personal help Bill continued to give lasted even after the closing. I failed to bring the garage opener to closing, and Bill came by our new home to get it the next day.           Throughout the entire time our home was on the market, Bill was always accessible. He made frequent visits and showed us he had an unusual interest in selling our home. We have and will continue to praise Bill and his company and highly recommend him as personable, knowledgeable, capable, and thoughtful of the people who engage his services.

Amy and Mike Fuhrman

Bill:   I'd like to thank you for everything you did to expedite the sale of our old house and the purchase and remodeling of our new house. We could not have been more pleased with how you walked us through the entire process and took the time to answer all of our questions. In addition, the contractor you recommended performed excellent work! He was very committed to maintaining the feel of our historic home as we added a much more modern bathroom. You definitely steered us in the right direction.     Also, Allen Tate was so helpful with our loan, and we appreciate you connecting us with experts familiar with our type of financing.   Thanks for making what could have been a stressful and complicated process so much easier, and for taking the time to check back with us even after closing. You are definitely an expert in both quality and service!

Keith and Melinda Furman

Bill, I want to thank you for helping us find not only a place to live, but also a home.  My relocation company had assigned us to a real-estate agent who did not understand our needs and it became apparent (after months of searching) we were not going to find anything satisfactory any time soon.  You spent time asking what our needs and wants were and narrowed down our search to less than ten homes, and in less than two weeks we were able to find what we were looking for.  I have never known a realtor to be so invested in the concerns of his clients as you. Through your contacts and constant diligence, you helped expedite the closing (which we were afraid might not happen) so that we were able to get out of our lease on time.   You have our sincere thanks and gratitude. We would not hesitate to tell anyone how thorough and professional working with you has been.

Dave Henning

Dear Bill,   I wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude for all your incredible professional help when we needed to sell our home in Mooresville.  We've known each other for years initially through the Statesville Chamber of Commerce.  When Carole and I decided to sell our home and move across the country you are the first person I thought of.   Your positive attitude and track record of success with Allen Tate Real Estate left no question in my mind that you could get the job done for us.   Well, I was even more impressed once we listed the house.  You took your time in your first walk through and patiently told us in detail how to stage our house to create the best first impression for potential buyers.  In addition you gave us great guidance on improving the appearance of our 14 year old floor and that also worked out great.  Your attention to detail was terrific.   What I especially liked is that when I called with a question or concern you answered your phone or called me back practically immediately.  That is a measure of excellent customer service that is something of a rare commodity these days.   We were pleasantly surprised how many showings we had and your follow up process with the multiple listing realtors that brought folks through.   Lastly, taking care of the paperwork and guiding us through the closing was invaluable in taking the hassle out of the whole process.  We didn't know what to expect with the housing market in question for the last five years. We thought we'd be waiting maybe even as long as a year as some have done in the Lake Norman area. But with your help OUR HOUSE SOLD IN A SHORT 77 DAYS!  Fantastic.   Bill, we can't thank you enough for everything you did with a smile to make this life transition as painless as possible.   I would happily refer you to anyone needing to sell or buy a home.  As you know I already have enthusiastically told everyone I know to give you a call when the need arose. You are a real blessing.

Fernando Kruger

Dear Bill,   We wish to you and your family the best in the world for this New Year. Thanks for all you did for us. I know you went above and beyond of duty in selling our house to have all done. We really appreciate. I will recommend you to each Brazilian that for instance goes to United States in your area and need realtor services. You are really good!!!  And if some day you decide to pass here in Brazil, be our guest and count with us to receive you in our home as our friend.

Chris and Darlene McClure

I wanted to express my gratitude in writing for all the patience, knowledge, and assistance you provided me and my family in our relocation to Mooresville.  I’ve not seen a realtor with the level of customer service, integrity, and area knowledge that you provided to my family and I in our stressful period of transition.  I want to thank you for the time you spent with us on the phone, and in home showings, not even counting all the hours you spent in the back office meeting our ever-changing needs and questions – before, during, and especially after the purchase of our new home.  We are extremely grateful for all of your professionalism and follow-up you provided to us.  You are top-of-the-class in the Realtor market these days.  I would be happy to provide a reference for anyone in their decision making process for finding a resourceful and high-character realtor.  I know that I not only got exceptional customer-service and guidance, but also a friend in my new area.  Please let me know if I can be of assistance to you and your company at any time in the future.  We absolutely love our new area and home.

Cornelia Miranda

Our names are Carlos and Cornelia Miranda. We owned a home in Statesville that was in a delicate situation. Bill Balatow was recommended by John Deter to help us turn around the house to rent it out. Which eventually, with Bill's studies, we decided to sell and are so grateful to Bill and team for helping accomplish this. The turn around from ok to a successful sale was accomplished   Here are the reasons why we can recommend Bill: He was available by phone and in person to discuss amply the possibilities His rough estimates where usually accurate within a narrow margin His receipts were accurate and timely His anticipated delivery dates were on time and in circumstance that were beyond his control, he maintained excellent communication with all parties involved to fullfill the goals He maintained good records of other's contracts and payments Talking to his contractors, we noticed he had a good working and trust relationship with them He has a good understanding of the technical rules and regulation of city and state policies involving real estate His marketing research for salability were incredibly accurate He displayed an intuitive and perceptive understanding of what clients were looking for He and his team detailed the house, not only in cleaning and function, but also added details like cool water in the refrigerator, that made the prospective buyers comfortable He decorated the house and garden just enough to add a sense of home but not go over the budget. His attention to visual details added to a great presentation All of this was done while we resided in Mexico We would work with him again if the opportunity arose.

Dr. Jane Testerman

Bill Balatow served as my real estate agent through nearly a two-year challenging sale of a large tract of land. The transaction involved multiple legal representatives, governmental entities, and years of data that had to be researched.  Bill represented me with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity.  Bill’s outstanding knowledge of legal and professional ethics kept the negotiations moving forward.  His leadership and experience helped close a very successful deal.

Dave and Susan Thomas

Hi Bill,   Susan and I are back safely in Pittsburgh and I wanted to write first thing while all was fresh and tell you how much we appreciated the great job you did guiding us through the home buying process and to a successful closing.   As a realtor, you do many of these a year.  We, on the other hand, lived in the same house for 31 years; our experience and skills were dated, to say the least.  You and we have recounted several times the serendipity that brought us together.  The facts though, are we wouldn't have made the trip to your office, or visited potential homes with you, if you had not demonstrated the professionalism and expertise that I now realize is your hallmark.    You used your experience to answer our questions and allay our concerns; your patience to deal with details important to us; and your local knowledge to bring into the process qualified professionals when they were needed.  Thanks for all of this.   We haven't yet created a flood of Pittsburgh folks heading to Charlotte, but rest assured if I have an opportunity to refer a realtor to a friend, you will be that person.   Take care.

Marin Tomlin

“Bill Balatow is a tremendous asset to Statesville and the surrounding communities he serves. I have known Bill for a number of years and have found him to be a dedicated, hard working individual.  He is committed to fulfilling, with a sense of diligence, whatever responsibilities he assumes. Bill has gone above and beyond the call of duty in his years as the Chairman the Crossroads Pumpkin Fest, which is a community festival held in Downtown Statesville. Without Bill’s participation, leadership, and knowledge this event would not be possible. His professionalism and commitment to a job is unparalleled.”

Devin and Ruthie Kirbaran

Bill,    We would like to thank you for all that you've done. You have worked endlessly to get us not only into a house, but into our home.     Your dedication, motivation and attitude from the beginning was 110%. While looking for the houses in Statesville; Bill, you were completely honest and patient with us even when looking at some pretty messed up houses. You took the time to listen to us and worked late nights to help us accomplish our goals to becoming first time home buyers. Words cannot explain how grateful we are for your great services as a realtor. We will recommend everyone we know to; You, Bill Balatow at Allen Tate Realty ;so they can also experience how knowledgeable and great you truly are as a realtor.    Again, we would like to thank you and hopefully will be able to use your services again in the future.    Sincerely,   Devin, Ruthie, & Romeo Kirbaran

Hello Bill. I just wanted to pass along our thanks for all you did and how well you took care of us.  From day one you worked hard and were very prompt in everything you did for us.  You went out of your way to be there for the house inspection when I couldn't be and helped set up getting all the work done. I appreciate you advising me set up our utilities and garbage service too.  You deserve a lot of credit for the job you did for us.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts in helping us get this wonderful home.  I hope to see you around town! Mike and Bobbie Dimperio

Rudy Poblete

Thanks for all your help in selling my townhouse. I know it must not have been easy, but you got it done.   The most important part was you giving me direction on what to upgrade. Without your guidance, I probably would have spent a lot more money on the upgrades that I didn't need to.    Again thanks.   Rudy Poblete

Marc and Marlene Jacobson

My wife and I learned there are only 2 words you need to know when it comes to selling your home; Bill Balatow! Bill worked tirelessly on our behalf and sold our home in just 15 days. He totally understood our unique situation and was able to work within the limits we placed on the showing process. We always felt as though we were his only client. He has a tremendous knowlege of local real estate trends and a rolodex of experts he can call at a moment's notice with virtually any need. With Bill's help, we proactively did some prep work on our home to make certain it would present itself well. The home inspection brought up a few items (as they invariably do), and it was Bill and his rolodex to the rescue. The experts he put us in contact with did great work and will be our "go to" contractors in the future. We had used one of those discount realtors to sell our previous home in order to save money. We can say without hesitation, the cost of the full service we got from Bill and everyone at Allen Tate paid for itself 10X over. Thank you, Bill, for all your hard work, late nights, and tireless effort. We could NOT have done it without you!

It was a wonderful experience working with Bill Balatow. He was always prompt at meetings and well informed. We had many problems to overcome in selling the property and he was most helpful in recommending workmen to fix the many problems at reasonable rates. No matter what my concern was he was always willing to assist in a pleasant , informative manner. I highly recommend Bill Balatow to be your agent .

Chris and Leah Lane

Bill was absolutely wonderful to work with. We came up to NC on short notice and he went above and beyond to arrange us showing appointments. Bill is friendly, professional and followed through on every single thing we asked of him. We would highly recommend him.

Kopal and I want to thank you for your help in finding us our new home. We are very happy with the way you guided us throughout the process. It was a very nice and pleasant experience working with you and I will not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends and family. Be assured that if we ever want to sell our house in future, your number will be first to be dialed. Our daughter understood that she got a new home but she was a bit sad that she will not get to meet you as frequent. Thanks again for everything. Vikash and Kopal

Jackie Burka

Bill,   Thanks for your help helping us sell the old house and buy our new house on Colony. While we had a great time buying a house with you a few years ago, we didn’t realize the real extent of your expertise until these 2 sales. When the buyer of our old house wanted over a $5000 credit for repairs, you calmly got us quotes for the reasonable repairs and disputed the unreasonable ones. When we ended up at $1500 for repairs, that was in line with our budget and we could still sell.   Then we got the crazy people who didn’t want to fix anything on the house we were buying. Again you got all your service people to quote prices and got the seller to give use $3000 plus fix some of the electrical. Now that we are doing the repairs ourselves, we have found out we got more than enough money and your repair people are doing great work for us at fair prices.   Thanks again for getting our old house sold, helping us get into this house we love, and saving us thousands and thousands in the process. We wouldn’t be here today without you. We consider you not only our Realtor, but a trusted advisor/expert and friend.   You are the best,   Jackie Burka

Fred and Gladys Harris

We have placed our faith and trust in Bill Balatow to purchase or sell 4 of our properties. We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with Bill since 2005. And again we have chosen Bill to help us sell 3 more of our properties in the Statesville area. Fred & Gladys Harris

Dallas Banks

My wife and I were extremely satisfied with working with Bill. We will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell. When we were buying our first house the whole process was very stressful, but in selling we used Bill and he took so much weight off of our shoulders. Bill went over and above to make sure we were taken care of. We loved our house selling experience with Bill!

---

Sarah M

Not only did my house sell immediately once Bill listed it but working with him was wonderful. He doesn't just list a house and then sit back to wait for it to sale. He had a plan but he also listened to my ideas. He always went the extra mile. He even brought over an air filter at the last minute after talking to my heat and air conditioner repairman. Before closing he made sure all the details were in order. He enjoys what he does and he cares about people. This is what makes the difference.

---

Wilma & Hubert Bishop

We are so grateful to Bill for taking this journey with us to sell our house. He stepped up and took on this challenge of getting our house ready for the sale. He contacted painters, plumbers and handymen to do the work this house needed. We appreciate his expertise in handling this sale for us. We would recommend Bill to anyone. Thank you

Kristine DeBoer, DC

I can't say enough kind things about Bill Balatow! In 2006 he helped us find our starter home, and here we are 11 years later and he helped me sell that same house. We had turned it into a rental property after living there a few years and Bill helped us through every step when we decided to finally sell it. I didn't even question who I was going to use to sell it. 11 years later, I'm still using Bill Balatow! I feel that should say it all right there. I appreciated all of his neighborhood updates over the years. I appreciate his experience and knowledge of real estate, the area, his connections, etc. I highly recommend Bill to anyone looking to buy or sell. I've officially used him for both and will continue to use him as we continue some real estate investing.

Bill, I can't thank you enough for your hard work. It was an absolute pleasure. I will keep in touch.

Beverly Mills

Five Stars all the way! My husband and I have sold many homes over the years. Finding a professional, motivated and enthusiastic real estate agent is quite a challenge! Many know enough to pass the real estate exam, but have no real background in sales and marketing. I'm here to tell you that Bill is the complete package. He has years of experience and they showed. Our home had already been on the market for 18 months when we were lucky enough to find Bill. It was, as all owners would say, a beautiful home, but it also had many unique features that would not necessarily appeal to everyone. Bill was adept in showing off our strengths. Every time I called and asked if he had a new idea / strategy to get interest in the home rolling again ... he did. His ideas were clever, innovative and better yet, they worked! And regardless of where we were in the process, Bill was unfailingly enthusiastic and positive. If you are looking for a GUARANTEED sale of your home, this is the man to call.

Barbara Sherrill

The sale of 288 Tennessee Cr was by far the easiest, most professionally handled real estate transaction we have/ I have ever been involved in. Thank you!!    You absolutely deserve the 5 star rating – and Emmanuel and Jon were so supportive.   Our best wishes for continued success,Sincerely,Barbara Sherrill

Cintia Puentes

My husband and I are very thankful for having Bill as our realtor. He went above and beyond to meet our expectations and help us buy our dream home. Bill is so kind and down to earth. He made the whole process of buying a house less stressful. We really appreciate him!

Candie and Allen Raymond

At last I have minute to sit down an speak of our experience in working with Bill on the sale of or home. It is all Bills fault you see within less than twenty four hours of listing our home we had three offers all over asking price and we closed in a month We had planned on coming to Texas to work on or new home while ours was on the market needless to say that didn't happen! Bill was too good at his job. Seriously we were so impressed with Bills professionalism. When he came to our home my Allen was sure we should put our home on the market ourselves. By the time Bill left he had changed his mind. The information Bill supplied was extremely informative and helpful he had answers to questions we didn't know we had. I have worked in real estate and truly have never been as impressed as I was with Bill. All we can say is if you are going to sell or by a home go with Bill. Just hold on to your hats because things cold happen alot faster than you expect! Thank you Bill for everything including helping us pack on moving day,

Anna Woods

Dear Mr. Bill Balatow, my Husband Dennis Woods and myself want to say that our experience with you was AWESOME! You managed the entire sale without us ever leaving California.We do give you the 5 STARS!! sincerely, Anna Woods Dennis Woods

Joe and I (Andrea) would like to shoot out a great thanks and appreciate for a job well done by Jon House and Bill Balatow our real estate agents. Being new to the area they were able to get us in to our new home quickly and every question and answer was done at a record pace. Knowing that the market in this area moves swiftly, that is how things need to be done or you loose out, They worked for us and had are back throughout the entire process. Some real estate agents just want to make the deal. Jon and Bill new the regulations and restrictions and if they did not know an answer to a question they got it to us quite fast. They were able to notice things that we would not know about and made the entire process seem very simple. We felt that during the negotiation process they were working for us and not like some real estate agents are working for the other side. So A++ Job well done. Recommend to all home buyers looking for the A team.

Pamela Mendes

I would like to thank Bill Balatow for his exceptional support during our home purchase and move to Charlotte, he went above and beyond any realtor experience we have had in any prior experience. Bill also provided timely and helpful advice regarding the marketplace in Charlotte and the various towns we had interest in. He let us know all the important information regarding the specific builders, various subdivisions and traffic to avoid! Bill was extremely attentive and listened to all our concerns with a great deal of patience. He also ensured that we received all the information regarding the closing process and inspection information necessary from a distance, as we were in Massachusetts. Not to mention who to contact for utilities and many other vendors that would help us with our transition to Charlotte. Bill has a caring approach and is a true professional; please accept our gratitude towards his outstanding service. We were able to complete the transaction within 5 weeks and put our minds to rest about finding the perfect home! We would especially like to commend Bill for his professionalism and outstanding customer service. Cheers, Pamela Mendes

Bill Brown

Bill Balatow was awesome to work with! He made the process of buying and selling easy and explained the process at every step. He helped us find the home of our dreams and had three offers on our house we were selling, on the first day! He is extremely knowledgeable and gave us great advice that saved us money and made the process low stress.

Jack Flanders

Bill Balatow is an exceptional agent, going the extra mile to get results. Bill was enthusiastic, energetic and supremely knowledgeable about the in's and out's of the real estate market. Bill's personality demonstrated a quality of professional confidence that comforted buyer and seller alike. He was continually in touch with market trends, making quality recommendations about how I, as the seller, could improve my position in the market. Bill gave me confidence that I had the best team possible on my side. His diligence paid off with extremely successful results. During the closing inspection process, Bill's advice, referrals and market connections were invaluable. Bill Balatow is a true professional that I would recommend with the utmost confidence.

Bill and Jon are a fantastic team. They really made me feel comfortable with the area and the purchase. Not only were the hospitable and knowledgeable but they continued to support me and my family long after final closing. I highly recommend them!

It was a pleasure to work with Bill and Jon on the sales of our two properties. They handled each sale with enthusiasm, energy and respect. We no longer live in Statesville so many things were handled over the phone and/or emails but, that obstacle never slowed them down ... We felt included in every detail. Their love and respect for older properties was endearing and greatly appreciated. We recommend them without hesitation.

Bill Balatow and his team were available and punctual on all the days we viewed potential homes. He provided detailed information on amenities and neighborhood covenants that were important to us as we evaluated homes and showed a great knowledge of all the areas we visited. Bill’s expertise in negotiations and through our inspections was of great value as we made the decision on our new home. We would highly recommend Bill and his team to assist future relocation clients moving to and from the Lake Norman area.

We had a phenomenal experience with the Balatow-House team. They helped us get our house under contract in 3 days, and were extremely helpful in guiding us through a new construction build. They were always there for us every step of the way. They have a tremendous amount of knowledge in real estate, and truly look out for your best interests. I highly recommend the Balatow-House team for all your real estate needs! They are truly the best at what they do!

What kind of an agents answer your questions and share their decades of knowledge even when they stand to gain nothing monetarily? Well Team Balatow-House!!! Thank you for your expertise, words of knowledge and encouragement on my home buying journey! Knowing that you cared more for my overall experience vs. a pay check speaks volumes to the character and morality in which you possess. I am forever grateful!
