View All ListingsBuying a second home in a market where you are not a local creates a huge information gap, and having the right agent makes all the difference. From the beginning, Terri did an exceptional job protecting us from the risks that come with being out-of-area buyers. She helped us understand the nuances of the local market, identified issues and considerations we never would have known to ask about, and consistently advocated for our best interests throughout the process. What stood out most was her ability to navigate the dynamics between local agents and ensure we were not at a disadvantage simply because we were unfamiliar with the area. She was knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and proactive, and we always felt like we had someone truly looking out for us rather than just trying to close a transaction. We would absolutely work with her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone purchasing property in a market where they need a trusted local expert in their corner.

She is super professional, really nice talking, very professional and good in negotiations we are very happy with her, very good experience. Super recommend ??
We truly could not have asked for a better realtor. From our very first conversation, she really listened to what we were looking for aEUR" not just the specs, but the feel of the property we wanted. Because of that, she found us a home that we absolutely fell in love with and that perfectly matched what we had envisioned. Beyond finding the right property, she held our hands and guided us through every step of the process. Purchasing in a mountain market can feel overwhelming, especially when youre not there full-time, but she was constantly our eyes and ears on the ground. She checked in on the property, attended inspections, gave honest feedback, and made sure we felt confident in every decision. Her communication was proactive, clear, and reassuring throughout. We always felt supported and protected. If youre looking for someone who truly listens, advocates for you, and goes above and beyond aEUR" she is it. We are so grateful for her expertise and dedication.

She kept us in the loop and gave great advice that we really trusted. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, down-to-earth real estate agent
This is our 3rd RE transaction with Terri. As always, she delivered in a major way. We couldn't be happier with the house we just purchased and we have Terri to thank for that. She is a local market expert and more importantly she is a friend. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a quality realtor. 10/10 Terri you are the best!
We had the best experience using Terri. Our house listed, our house sold all within 45 days.. Amazing. Would definitely recommend using her very personable and very professional.
If you're looking to buy a property in the Arnold area, I have THE best Realtor, Terri Watkins. I had specific needs like a flat lot among other things. Well, a flat lot can be really challenging when you're buying in the mountains. Terri was the best. Her strength and long time experience really came through when I got into escrow. Finding the house was the easy part; it was her negotiation skills and her ability to move things along smoothly that made the difference. There were several instances when this deal could have fallen apart. She kept it together with my best interest in the forefront. I came out of this experience with an amazing home. Thank you, Terri for all your hard work.
From Start to finish Terri helped us with this long distance sale. She helped coordinate the inspections and fixing of roof, pest, septic tank, and cleaning of premises. She also was able to get us the price we wanted. This was a hassle free, low stress transaction for us. I would definitely recommend Terri if you are looking to buy or sell a house in the Arnold area.
Terri is awesome. No doubt about it. She helped us find the best house possible for us. If you are looking for a place in the area, she and her team will make it happen.
Terri was awesome to work with on selling our cabin! She was super knowledgeable about the area and the current market. She showed continued prompt responsiveness throughout the entire process and from the beginning worked diligently to effectively present our beautiful cabin and get us what we were hoping for with the whole deal. Highly recommend working with Terri!
Terri is a true market expert and made purchasing our cabin in Dorrington such an enjoyable experience. She added value every step of the way and helped prepare us for owning property in the mountains. We can't thank her enough for her help and look forward to referring to her anyone pursuing property in the Arnold/Dorrington area.
We are so grateful we found Terri - as soon as we met her we knew she was who we wanted to work with. Its because of her that we were able to buy our dream home and the process so easy for us! We couldnt recommend Terri enough and would work with her again in a heartbeat. She also left us thoughtful housewarming gifts, it was a really nice gesture.
Terri has been absolutely wonderful in helping me buy property when I live 3.5 hrs away . She never let a family emergency interfered with the process and continued to help me with insurance , rental and renovation process even after the purchase was done . She could have walked away once the transaction is completed but she continued to assist me . I truly appreciate that . I am very happy with Terri and highly recommend her, without reservation
Terri was amazing! So accommodating and really went the extra mile for us! Highly recommended. She was extremely detail oriented and was able to make our hectic schedule work during the showings process.
Terri is the "complete" real estate professional. She was excellent in helping us sell our mountain retreat in a volitile market and helping us get what we needed to meet a family obligation. She was also willing to pick up the pieces after a horrible experience with a previous agent and restore our faith that our house would sell. She listened and took our concerns to heart and made the process from start to finish so easy. Her communication skills and follow through helped us relax and concentrate on other things we needed to focus on. We would recommend her to anyone !
Terri was amazing. She helped us find the perfect cabin for our family. Terri is very knowledgeable about the Arnold area and has many great contacts. She made the purchase of our property as painless as possible - in fact, we closed a week early! Terri went above and beyond. Since we were purchasing a "second home" property and could not be on site for inspections, internet installs and such, she took time out of her day to be there on our behalf. She even took video footage of all the bedrooms, cupboards, closets and more so that we could be well prepared for furnishing our new home. We cannot recommend Terri enough - we promise you will be in great hands if she becomes your agent.
Terri brought so many desirable qualities to her role as listing agent for our mountain hideaway. From the beginning her genuine enthusiasm and keen marketing sense inspired confidence. She willingly undertook coordinating many of the inspections and repairs, a huge burden lifted from our shoulders, as we live nearly 4 hours from the area. Her good relations with local tradespeople and her past experience as a project manager proved beneficial in keeping the process moving forward smoothly. Terri kept us informed at every step of the way and was prompt in responding to queries. She's a force!
Terri is a rockstar realtor! She was our buyer's agent for a home in Arnold and did a fabulous job to secure us a home well below market price. She is extremely knowledgeable about structures, build quality & her local markets. She has great relationships with local service providers, agents & home inspectors. So, she can recommend folks for pre-checks, inspections, renovations & post purchase care. I'm an experienced real estate investor. Yet, I'm not immune to mistakes. Terri's advice on homes/locations to buy & those to avoid helped me save thousands. Thank you, Terri :) Before the purchase she toured multiple properties, was never pushy & gave great advice. During the sale, she did a great job negotiation & once in contract her team kept us updated on everything, If you want great advice, no-pressure, great ethics, fab negotiations & great communication; go with Terri's team. I'll be using her 100% in the future :)
Terri did a wonderful job helping us find a vacation property. We had zero local knowledge and Terri was a wealth of information and gave us thoughtful advice to our endless questions . We were successful in finding a property we loved and Terri put a deal together that made it ours .
Terri did an exceptional job representing our property. The dedication and follow through along with some creativity, and her ability to remain flexible , opened minded and adjust the marketing strategy when necessary was the difference.
Terri did a great job of previewing properties for us and sending videos of properties. Since we live 3 hours away that was a big help. She knew the market well and did a great job of knowing what we were looking for.
I was so delighted to find Terri. I immediately felt assured and confident in her abilities. She was very responsive, not at all pushy and yet clear on what it would take. We quickly found the perfect house for our family with Terri, and the process was so easy with Terri guiding us along the way.
Terri is an amazing, professional, and competent realtor. She was on top of things and knew what needed to be done behind the scenes. She made sure that the cabin was prepared and ready. Even the quality of the listing photos and video with drone shots were top notch. And it paid off! We received offers the day after the first Open House above asking! The process was smooth and seamless, mostly because of Terri's organization and can-do attitude. I am sure that there were stressful moments during the process but because Terri handled it professionally and positively, we, as her clients were shielded from most of it. For us, that trait alone is what puts Terri at the top of the list among Arnold realtors. Thank you, Terri! - J & C
I met Terri by chance through a Zillow-facilitated showing and I have been so lucky that she handled that first showing because my experience with her over these past six months have been nothing but amazing. Since meeting her, I can say that my family has been in really good hands. Terri goes above and beyond and has constantly advocated for us - and believe me, with this crazy market, you need someone who can give proper advice and who is thoroughly knowledgeable of the comps, the competition, and what it entails to get our dream cabin. Shes so patient, always made time for us, and understood our needs right from the get go. My kids love her and she has eventually become a friend. Her recommendations for contractors and local spots are fantastic since she lives and breathes the whole town (unlike an put of town agent who doesnt necessarily know the area!), and the process for closing was so easy considering that we live 2.5 hours away. To make the experience even more magnificent than it already was, after 3 hours of driving in traffic to finally stay in our new cabin for the first time, Terri made sure we came home to a warm home, with treats and gifts for the family, too! If you want topnotch service from Arnolds best, Terri is the person to go to!
We reached out to Terri several years ago hoping she would help us find our dream cabin. Over the years we changed our minds several (many!) times. Terri was always responsive, patient, and up to date with all the insider information for us. She is such a warm person and really worked hard to get us EXACTLY what we wanted, and we are forever grateful to her! Could not recommend her more.
Excellent realtor. Invaluable in navigating the market and process. Strongly recommend her and would not hesitate to work with her in the future. She was also invaluable in connecting us with good referrals in the local community.
Terri was amazing! She is super knowledgeable and patient! She had our best interest as her primary focus from start to finish! She is super knowledgable about the local market and vendors. I would give Terri the highest recommendationaEUR|we couldnt have asked for a better person or realtor to find the right home for our family!!!!!
Terri provided such a wonderful stress free home buying experience. She really listened to us to learn our wants and needs. She was so quick to answer our questions. She helped us get a great deal during a market that was very competitive. Terri has a wonderful personality and we feel very lucky to have found her.
Terri made every accommodation for us as we were coming from out of town. She was willing to adjust her schedule to show us multiple properties. Its not easy buying a new home and she made the process effortless for us. No pressure or stress throughout the entire transaction. Terri still takes the time to stay in touch and help us with getting acclimated in our new environment. Thanks again Terri!!
Terri is an outstanding agent. She responded quickly by text or phone when we had a question and was there to support and help through the entire sale. I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.
Terri was a thorough, knowledgeable and efficient professional throughout the entire process. She worked with us and noticed what we wanted then helped us make the right decision but never imposed herself and never seemed to be in it for just the sale. I would absolutely recommend her.
Terri took us seriously from day one and had a slate of houses to show us three days after we reached out via Zillow. She showed us houses almost every weekend for nearly two months and got us into the cabin of our dreams.
My effortless first vacant land purchase with Terri's guidance had me holding deed in weeks. She foresaw every question, concern and detail before my calls. Her prompt kind work ethic has ME sold. My dream came true to build my ranch. She has a fantastic team and ready to serve.
Terrilynn was awesome to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the area and made our transactions very smooth. I recommend her 10 out of 10!!
She was very personable and professional. She knew exactly what we were looking for and only showed us properties that met our needs; therefore, we didn't waste any time.
This is easy, Terri was great to work with on our search for a mountain home. She is easy to get along with, professional, and took time to get to know us and what our style is. If you are searching in the Arnold and surrounding area, please call Terri!
Terri was helpful, responsive, and highly knowledgeable of the local market. I would strongly recommend her to others seeking to acquire a property in the area
Our Agent Terri went above and beyond to find the right home for us. She regularly contacted us to share the latest homes on the market, she was well prepared and sensitive to our needs. We highly recommend her as an Agent!
Terri was great! Very responsive and organized. She really cared about finding us the right home, not just making the sale. Of course some challenges came up during closing, but she handled them perfectly and took a lot of the stress out of the situation. Would highly recommend.
Terri was not just professional but respectful to our needs as sellers. She listened carefully to our concerns and responded to all our emails or txt messages. We are very satisfied with Terri as our realtor and found her a delight to work with in the selling of our cabin we had for 25 years!
Terri is very knowledgeable of the market and area we were interested in, we were looking for a vacation home and she made herself available on short notice. Terri was also well prepared when we met. Terri showed us multiple listings that fit our budget and once we made a decision she was able to submit an offer right away. She kept us informed throughout the whole process and provided many helpful insights and connections to local services in the area. Her use of digital signatures was also great being that we werent local to the area. Buying a home can be stressful and Terri made the whole process very much worth it. We love our home and hope to spend many years there.
Our experience with Terri was out of this world. We wouldnt have wanted anyone else walking us through the stressful experience of buying a second home and we couldnt rave about her more. She is down to Earth, personable yet professional, knowledgeable and extremely responsive. In all honesty she had to perform many little aEURoemiraclesaEUR? throughout our 45 day close to keep things running smoothly and she did it with poise and grace. We are so very grateful that we were matched up with her as our realtor and we highly recommend her.
