"Vickie is awesome! My mom had her house listed with another agent going on 2 years. After continued price reductions and still no activity it was time to find another means to sell her house. How refreshing to meet with an agent who suggested a price increase and a new marketing strategy. That was Vickie. She and her team went to work and 90 days later we were moving mom. Vickie showed us the answers were in strategy not continued price reductions. Find an agent that will work for you not just enter your listing and wait for something to happen. We found that through Vickie."

“Vickie Kimsey is our friend and the best realtor in Western, NC. I hope that anyone looking for property in Western, NC will call her. You won’t be disappointed at all.”
by Brooks Hoyt Holland“I dealt with Beckie on several closings and she was absolutely amazing to deal with. We communicated very well. She always returned my calls and emails timely. I really loved her always being so eager to help people. She really stuck out to me as being a genuine honest person who likes to help people. I like that quality in a person. She also came across as a person who worked hard.”
by Regina“Thank you for all the work you did in selling our home. It was a quick sale, faster than we thought, but you got us all the right people to fix what needed to be fixed. I wanted to thank you for pushing us when we needed it.”
by Joe & Cleo KleerComing into unfamiliar territory not exactly sure of how or where to look...Vickie was our guiding light. She found us the PERFECT place to make memories. Working with Vickie was a wonderful experience from the first "Hello" to the hugs at closing!
by Terri TeschnerIf you are serious about purchasing a home, Vickie Kimsey is THE agent you need to work with. My husband Bud and I are so impressed by her determination to find exactly what we were looking for in our price range. Vickie shows you that she really truly cares about her clients. She loves what she does and it shows 100%. We feel very lucky to have Vickie as our Agent. She found our "Dream Getaway" in one day and we would not have without her hard work. Do yourself a big favor and call Vickie for all your real estate needs.
by Marion EllisMy in-laws are in their late 80's when they began facing some serious health problems that prompted them to decide to sell their home of 18 years and move to be closer to their daughter. On a visit in early March, they asked us to assist them and so I googled real estate agents in Franklin, NC. After a few frustrating phone calls, we found a young lady who offered to come by their home within the hour. We found out later that Vickie had moved several things, including a family function, just to accommodate our schedule. That was not the last time she had to work to accommodate my in-laws needs. On the day they moved out, Vickie came by to see what needed doing to finally put their home on the market. I thought at first, that she would turn and run screaming from the mess. But she simply took a deep breath and began to tell us what needed to be done to make their home ready for market. It took us some time (like 3 months or so) but Vickie never rushed us or pressured us to take shortcuts. Just the opposite, in fact. She came every time we called and was always supportive with ideas, suggestions, and even where to find the professional contractors we needed. We finally got the home ready for market, which she listed at an even higher price than we had discussed. Thanks to Vickie and her wonderful team, she had us a full-price offer within 4 days! That's right. Full price and just four days! Because I hold or have held numerous commercial real estate licenses and have taught real estate agents for more than a dozen years, I am probably an agents worst nightmare. But I can say without hesitation that Vickie Kimsey and the team she has built around her, the contacts and friendships she has developed throughout the community, and her personal dedication to what is best for her clients, are the real reasons she is so successful at what she does. Thank you Vickie!
by Gene HammerWhen we decided to sell our home, I started asking people who they would recommend and I continued to receive the same answer - if you need your home sold, and sold fast, call Vickie Kimsey. This was the best decision we ever made, accepting a full price offer after only 10 days on the market! We honestly do not know what we would have done without Vickie's guidance, experience, and support during the process of selling our home. Her expertise shined through from start to finish. Vickie even overcame a last minute challenge that could have taken months to resolve, but she was able to work it out in just days. It is rare to find a serve level like what we were shown. The bar is instantly raised and would highly recommend Vickie to anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the area. THANK YOU!
by Troy and Burnice WoodardVickie and her team are a group of very nice and knowledgeable people. Enjoyed dealing with everyone. Thanks to all for getting us in our new place!
by Robert & Christi Cook"A close friend recommended that I called Vickie Kimsey and her team to help sell my home. From the moment I met Vickie, I could tell that she was not only professional, but very personable. She went over and above to see that my property closed. There were many challenges and she never gave up. She conducted herself with the highest integrity, dedication, and expertise that any seller would want to receive. I can't thank Vickie enough for making a really difficult situation go as smoothly as it did. She is the only realtor I would recommend in Franklin!"
by Lois FeeneyWe chose Vickie Kimsey because we knew she was a hard worker and experienced in real estate. From the moment we met Vickie, she displayed positive energy and eased our concerns. She was more excited about listing our home then we were about selling it. Even with her 29 years of real estate experience, her enthusiasm and passion was as if she had just begun. At the same time of Vickie listing our home we were interested in purchasing a piece of property. We told her our interest and she immediately contacted the selling agent. There were already some offers on the property, but they did not stop her from putting our offer in. We had the winning offer and got the land we wanted! this would not have happened without the expertise of Vickie Kimsey. Our house hit the market and it was sold within a few day for the full list price. She and her team did amazing work in communicating with us throughout the entire process. The paperwork process was quick and easy. This was a great experience for our family and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for helping our family dreams come true.
by Alise SuttonVickie and her team were amazing in guiding my wife and I through our first home purchase. Vickie's unwavering commitment to making our experience a great one was evident in every part of the process. We will continue to use her for many years to come and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Franklin, NC and surrounding areas!

by Burnice WoodardAfter seeing signage and through recommendation, I called Vickie Kimsey and her team just a few days before coming into town and experienced great service from start to finish. Very professional, communicated in a timely manner, and knowledgeable. From beginning to end, we listed and sold in just 3 days! Vickie Kimsey’s Team is the real deal and highly recommend!
by John StorcWe have bought and sold several properties from Vickie and she is exclusively our agent in the Franklin area. We can’t thank you enough for your professionalism, expertise, and hard work in helping us. Vickie always exceeds our expectations and this time was no different. She brought the buyer and closed on our last property in Mill Creek in just three weeks for 98% of the list price. Vickie has the perfect balance of knowledge, drive, and enthusiasm that will get the job done for you! My husband and I highly recommend Vickie Kimsey to any person who is looking to buy or sell a home, as well as seek her service in any of my future real estate transactions.
by Ron & Susan DarbyVickie and her team went the extra mile and made our home buying process a piece of cake! Vickie answered our million and one questions and was always reachable, prompt, informative, and honest. If it wasn’t for her responsiveness and awareness to our needs, we wouldn’t have gotten the perfect house that we had been searching for. She is definitely a go getter for her clients and you can count on her to help you find your dream home! I will recommend Vickie to every and anyone who has Real Estate needs.
by Dollard and Kimberly RootVickie and her team are very professional and very knowledgeable. She and the team were a pleasure to work with and did everything possible to make the process of selling and buying of our house go as smooth and worry-free as possible. Thank you for all your hard work!
by George and Ellen RogersWhen it came time to sell our house we wanted to list it with someone who was well known, knowledgeable, professional, and understood the needs of the people who were looking to buy or sell their home. After talking with Vickie Kimsey there was no doubt that we had found our real estate agent. She took the time to get to know us, our property, and our expectations. She explained her background, information about selling our home, and what to expect during each stage of the process. Already moved in to our new house we were looking to sell as quickly as possible; however, we had accepted that this may actually be a long process. WE WERE WRONG. Vickie listed the house and the next day had prospective clients scheduled for a showing. Offers began coming in within 48 hours, and we accepted an offer (above the asking price) within five days. Vickie and her team did an amazing job from start to finish. Vickie took the time to walk our property and give suggestions on what would help it sell. She kept in consent contact keeping us up to date about each showing; what we could do to help, and the next steps in the process. When offers began to come in she took time to explain the pros and cons of each offer, and made sure we had all of the pertinent information to make the best decision possible. Vickie made the process so very simple and rewarding. In today’s fast paced world where people are numbers and customer service sometimes suffer; Vickie, makes one feel as if they are the only clients that she is working with at that time. I would greatly recommend Vickie Kimsey to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house in this area. My advice is that if you list your house with Vickie you better start packing.
by James and Rowena BowersVickie is the Realtor you want working for you! Being a first-time home buyer, I really didn’t know what to expect from the whole process. Vickie walked me through the entire process and assisted me through all the aspects of buying a home. Her number 1 priority was for me to be happy and find the perfect home. She was very friendly and eager to assist, always available to answer my questions and went out of her way to keep me informed. I will gladly do business with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.
by Paul PittmanThere is no way that Vickie could have been more helpful, efficient, dedicated, and/or professional. We came into the office in search of a rental property for next summer and ended up with our perfect forever mountain home. If you’re looking for a stellar agent and spectacular experience, call Vickie. We’re forever thankful!
by Warren and Marianne BarroneBeing first time home buyers, we were very nervous about what to expect and needed a great realtor by our side. Vickie was a true godsend and exceeded our expectations! She walked us through every step of the way, kept us informed, worked hard, and made us feel comfortable. The process could not have gone any smoother. If you’re in need of a great realtor in Franklin who cares about her clients, don’t look any further than Vickie Kimsey!
by James Yarboro and Julia MolinaVickie, I can't believe it's been over 8 months since we started this process. We picked up many brochures and Tom & I both chose the same realtor (You!) out of all our options based simply on a feeling and we are forever thankful that we did. It was meant to be. Your guidance and patience has been appreciated throughout this process. You've gone above & beyond on so many occasions and we are forever grateful! We will always remember our journey to get here with fondness and your integral part of it. Much love and many blessings, Tom and Carmen
by Tom and Carmen WolcottMy husband and I had been actively looking to purchase a home for our family for some time and we had been getting extremely frustrated trying to find something that would be a good fit for us. We really didn't know what realtor to talk to about trying to find a home to purchase. Then, Vickie was recommended to us by a family member. As soon as we talked to Vickie, we could tell that she really enjoys finding the right home for everyone she works with. Her custom website is fantastic! After registering on the website, it constantly sends you new house listings that match what you are looking for. This makes it so much easier trying to track down the right home for you. Even with the website sending you the custom notifications, Vickie contacts you personally if she sees anything that matches what you are looking for. Especially if it's a good deal! She is extremely honest when looking at houses and will let you know her professional opinion about everything from the price, the area, the house, etc. She truly helps guide you through the entire process of finding a house to purchase. Vickie Kimsey and Anna are both fantastic! We will definitely continue to use The Vickie Kimsey Team as our real estate agency as long as she is in real estate. Thank you for helping us find our perfect home!
by Amanda PeacockVickie was recommended by friends of ours in Mill Creek that had used her previously. She responded to our first phone call immediately and every phone call after! We felt nothing but confidence regarding her handling of our sale. She showed the property almost immediately, and within two weeks of listing it, it had sold! She was honest with us and I would definitely recommend her again, to anyone! Thank you, Vickie!
by Judy SumlinExcellent service, excellent team to work with! They are on top of their game! Never had to wait for anything and everything was attended to immediately. I sold houses with eight different Realtors in three different states: NY, FL, and NC. None have ever come close to working as hard, fast, or effectively as Vickie. She is the BEST of the BEST!
by John and Dottie BeachTHE ABSOLUTE BEST!! We have been working with Vickie for several years now and would never use or recommend any other Realtor. She has top notch skills, experience, passion, and commitment. Her special attention to detail and care is most apparent, and we always feel like we are Vickie’s top priority. There are not any other Realtors in Franklin, NC who come close to getting houses sold & bought as fast as Vickie. Our most recent home sold with a cash offer in 12 days! Thank you for your continued hard work!
by Mark and Alice ChewningAs an out-of-state homeowner, I chose Vickie Kimsey based on her outstanding reviews. She fully lived up to those reviews and I would recommend her and her team without any reservations!
by Douglas ChamberlainWe were fortunate to have worked with Vickie Kimsey 15 years ago when we purchased our Mill Creek condo and now with the pleasure of selling. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, very dedicated to her clients, pro-active on communicating, and extremely approachable. We were blown away when we received a phone call from Vickie within a few hours of our condo hitting the market with a full price cash offer, closing in a week!! TOP-NOTCH and a great asset to any buyer or seller! Give her a call, you won’t regret it!
by Leo & Linda CarvalisVickie Kimsey really proved to us how deserving she is of her flood of outstanding reviews from happy clients. Her thirty years of experience, numerous credentials, and long-term residency in this region were a big plus to us since we are new to this area. Her knowledge and confidence reassured us that we had a real pro on our side. Within only a few days after our first meeting she helped us put an offer on our dream home. The real test was during the 30-day Due Diligence period and Vickie was a true champ. We presented her with a load of ongoing questions and concerns, and she was always responsive and quick. Our calls were answered promptly and if she couldn’t give an immediate answer, she got right on it without delay. We were never left hanging and were constantly updated on new developments, especially during the back and forth negotiation process. Working with Vickie was pure joy and without question we would use her again. If you’re looking for a quick, knowledgeable, and hardworking professional who gets results, see Vickie!
by Michael & Katie ClaesMy wife and I purchased our home during the coronavirus and thanks to Buyer's Agent Ray Fleenor's constant communication and help, we were able to secure our home with no issues or problems! We highly recommend The Vickie Kimsey Team!
by Robert VaughnVickie is an exceptional Realtor who has helped us find our perfect new home. Vickie is tenacious with addressing hurdles that come up along the way and because of her background in home renovation, she is able to help assess a home beyond immediate appearances.

by Roseanna DickensAfter working with Vickie Kimsey and her team, I cannot say enough positive things and couldn’t have been more happy with my first home purchase. From start to finish, the process went very smoothly and I was guided each step of the way. Vickie is honest, informative, knowledgeable, and always there to help answer any questions and in a timely manner. Their number 1 priority was for me to be happy and find the perfect first home. Thank you!
by Jeffrey EppsWe've known Vickie Kimsey for over a year now and she worked VERY hard to not only find John and I the perfect mountain home, but also help in the sale of our home in FL. She is a true go getter and cares about you. Every week we would always hear from her whether it was checking on the sale of our FL home, receiving photos of new homes in Franklin, or just calling to see how we were doing. She never gave up on us and told us to just be patient, it will come. And, it did! Vickie will always have time for you, loves her job, and helping people find their dream home. We love her dearly and highly recommend you to call her, you won't be sorry! - Sue and John Dalton

by Roy CarnineMy experience with The Vickie Kimsey Team was way above and beyond outstanding! Vickie Kimsey was actually the listing agent and they worked also as our buyer’s agent, representing both sides, yet they treated us with the utmost professionalism. Their response to my inquiries, questions, etc. was honestly always immediate. Use Vickie Kimsey’s Team!! I love them ALL!!!
by Vickie LodgeAmazing real estate company! Vickie Kimsey’s 31 years of experience and confidence sets her apart from any other realtor in Western North Carolina.

by Jenny Sotolongo-SuarezVickie Kimsey, Ray Fleenor, and the entire team are the absolute best. Super responsive, organized, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. Such an easy, stress-free time buying a home. Thank you!
by Everett and Deana EvansExcellent! Excellent! Excellent! Very knowledgeable and would not hesitate to refer for buying or selling real estate. Ray Fleenor and the team was so pleasant, sharp, and went out of the way to be helpful with absolutely everything!
by Mary MillerWe spoke to several real estate agents in the area before we found Ray Fleenor and The Vickie Kimsey Team and we are SO very glad we worked with him. Superior service and top notch Realtor. Thank you!
by Evelyn FrankWe love Vickie Kimsey! Fantastic real estate agent! She's deeply knowledgeable, caring, patient, efficient, honest, and available 24/7! She always made sure we knew everything going on throughout the entire process. Her team and the people and businesses she has formed relationships with are top notch. You absolutely want Vickie by your side and I can not say enough great things about her and the entire team!!
by Rebecca IrwinHands down the best home buying experience and so much fun! Ray Fleenor made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, even with the "stress" of finding a house in the current competitive market. Ray is THE BEST, thank you!
by Lindsay BrownThe best in Franklin, NC. Working with Vickie Kimsey and her team has been absolutely wonderful as she was highly recommended to us from several friends. She knows the real estate market and how to get homes sold. Our home was sold within one hour! Everything from the sales contract to the closing was very smooth and comfortable. Would use Vickie Kimsey again and again without hesitation.
by Carl and Cathy RowlandWhen it came time to sell our home, we turned to Vickie and the Vickie Kimsey team and are thankful we did. She helped us navigate multiple offers and sold our home in Franklin all while being out-of-state for well above asking price, quickly, and easy. She knows real estate inside and out, is professional, timely, genuinely cares, and is there to help in any way possible. Highly recommend them.
by Rhonda BevisI met Vickie Kimsey in a social setting long before I decided to put my home up for sale. She offered her help at my leisure and when I was ready to sell Vickie listened carefully to what I needed in the sale of my home and went into action at the moment I was ready. I was impressed with her responsiveness to questions as they came up. If she did not know the answer to my questions, she researched it until she had the answer and got back with me within 24 hours. I asked her to sell my home without actually listing because my 60 hour work week was too busy to put in too much effort to get it sold. She sold it for my stated asking price within ONE week. The best she did was to help me troubleshoot difficulties I had with my moving company and offered a listening ear and encouragement to get me out of the home in time for the closing. I would high recommend Vickie Kimsey because she is aggressive, but pleasant real estate agent who has her client's best interest in the forefront at all times.
by Suzan PageI can't express the gratitude I have for the Vickie Kimsey Team. Ray has been on point from day one. His attention to detail, concern for my well being, questions, financing, area information, and calmness! Anna certainly had my back too! Not a day went by that my concerns and questions weren't met. A+ A+ A+ Thank you and God speed!
by Kelly WeberMr. Fleenor was very courteous and professional. He understood our needs and showed us the property that was absolutely perfect for us!! I would highly recommend Ray Fleenor and the Vickie Kimsey Team to anyone who is moving to the Franklin, NC and surrounding area.
by Billy Ray CyreeRay Fleenor was friendly and helpful from the first call that I made to him. He was flexible with his schedule and very accommodating, as we were making the move from out-of-state. Ray will make you feel comfortable and listen to the details that you're looking for when purchasing your home.
by Shannon SchafhausenRay has been a true pleasure to work with. He kept us up to date on everything throughout the entire home buying process. We would highly recommend his services!
by Sherri PotterRay was great to work with! Very helpful and made the whole process very easy! I would highly recommend.
by Jackson LussierI can't say enough about the Vickie Kimsey Team!! Ray, our buyers agent, always goes above and beyond!! He has helped us buy 2 homes in Franklin, driven us to numerous properties to view, always with a smile on his face and always willing to find the "perfect" home for us. Vickie helped sell one of them so we could find our dream home. This team is more than on top of their game. From trying to find the "right" property, to closing it was amazing!! Anna does all the behind the scenes work. She is the best transaction coordinator you will ever work with! If you do not use their services, then you are doing yourself a disservice. I have been working in real estate a very long time in Jacksonville, Florida and I have never seen such tenacity!! A huge thank you seems so small compared to how they work together to get their customers what they want. Please call them for any real estate need, you will never be disappointed!!
by Doreen PeelerWorking with the Vickie Kimsey team and agent Ray Fleenor was a real pleasure. Ray was attentive to us as new home buyers and patient with our questions. He helped us understand our responsibilities as buyers and working with inspectors and other things necessary during the home buying process. I would highly recommend Ray as he was a very good guy to work with.
by John and Teresa BosioPurchased a home with Vickie, she was very helpful from negotiation to closing. We appreciate her knowledge, professionalism and hard work to ensure everything went smoothly. 5 stars!
by Brian E.We've been looking for some mountain property for over 10 years and finally decided we needed a realtor. After trying out a few companies with poor customer service, we came across Ray and he sure has been a great find. I can't believe how much time he spent with us, showing us mountain homes, and then wisely advised us to start considering a land purchase. He located an amazing 8 acre lot in a highly sought after mountain community, took care of all of the sales process efficiently, helped us after the closing with finding service contractors (well, electricity, septic) etc. Every time there was a potential hiccup, Ray nipped that in the bud and resolved the issue in the most timely manner. THEN, a few months later, he found us the adjacent 8 acre lot and sold that to us too! I should mention that the entire Vickie Kimsey Team provided Ray with great support including Anna and Vickie too. They are down to earth, hard working, communicative, and extremely efficient.
by Joe SchusterWe really enjoyed working with Ray. He spent time with us and was on top of any options that came available for us, and even looked at property while we were out of town. We found a great spot for our camper and now have a mountain retreat! We recently went back to him to secure another 7.5 acre buffer around our little spot that came available. Easy, smooth and done! Great team!!
by Tracey SchusterVickie and her staff and the most professional, efficient and qualified real estate group I have ever dealt with! Vickie is very personable and knowledgeable. I have already recommended her to many of my friends and business colleagues. You can’t go wrong with Vickie Kimsey Team! A+++
