"My husband and I contacted Eli Ward a mere two days prior to arriving in Morganton for a long weekend...of course he was fully booked with clients given that we waited until nearly the last minute to reach out.
However, he kindly made time for us on a Sunday afternoon to go over options and recommendations for our quest to find our forever home. He then escorted us to what would eventually be our dream property- twice- just so we could watch the sunset!!!
We cannot believe our good fortune to have found Eli- who else would give up the only free time in their weekend to meet and help complete strangers??
Every once in a while, the stars do align. Believe in the magic that is Morganton."

"Started the search for our forever home in Morganton, NC a few months ago which turned into building a custom built house. Eli Ward of WNC Real Estate, our realtor, was instrumental in finding the right property, working with the builder, and has stayed engaged during the building process. Many, many thanks to WNC Real Estate and Eli Ward for making this a professional, enjoyable experience. We can't wait until we can call Morganton home! "

"Eli Ward is the best real estate agent we have ever had and we have sold and purchased many, many homes through our years. Fantastic to deal with and always there for you! We can't thank him enough. Great on selling our home and searching for our new home and our search wasn't the easiest.

"I have nothing but positive things to say with respect to my agent, Eli Ward.
He helped me through the process every step of the way, took care of almost everything for me as I live out of state and was unable to travel due to COVID, and went above and beyond every step of the way.
Bear in mind, I did not know Eli before this ordeal began, but through the process I gained a friend and met someone I highly respected.
Most importantly, he was there after closing to help me settle issues with neighbors. Eli helped me research deeds and plats, and the thoroughness with which we combed through everything actually helped me and settle issues with a neighbor.
Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks Eli - "
