Testimonials
"
Judy and Allan were so caring and responsive throughout the process of buying the house. They worked tirelessly with us and met us and our schedule each step of the way. They went above and beyond to keep everyone safe during the whole process in spite of the Covid virus. They did whatever it took to accommodate our needs. Allan is so calm and honest and makes you feel so safe as if he is your father negotiating for you. He doesn’t try to talk you into a property if it isn’t right for you. Judy is on top of everything and it doesn’t matter what time you send an email or text, she responds right back. They both have great tips and advice and a list of people who are able to help with inspections, repairs, utility questions and any other issue that could come up. I would highly recommend them and I promise you won’t be sorry you chose them to represent you. If you want an easy, seamless process, call Judy and Allan.

Our experience with our real estate agents was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, their deep expertise in the market was evident—they guided us through every step with clarity and confidence, making even the most complex decisions feel manageable. Their knowledge of neighborhoods, pricing trends, and negotiation strategies gave us a distinct advantage, and we always felt like we were in the most capable hands.
What truly set them apart, though, was their unwavering patience and genuine care. They took the time to understand our needs, answered every question (no matter how small), and never rushed us through the process. They were always willing to meet us on short notice and schedule showings so we could see the lots or houses on the same day. Their calm, reassuring presence made a potentially stressful experience feel smooth and even enjoyable. It’s rare to find professionals who combine such skill with heartfelt dedication—we’re incredibly grateful and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Judy and Allan are a great team. They helped us purchase a home in Boone. We were 3 families, all in different cities, looking for an investment property that we could rent and enjoy in the Boone area. It was not easy. But they quickly homed in on what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect place for us. Their knowledge of the area, experience in buying and selling during this crazy time and their connections to a host of service providers in the area is unmatched. They were honest, gave great counsel and I would use them again in a second.

Allan and Judy Wagner have been our Realtors for several years. They have guided us through two real estate transactions with such professionalism and dedication that we would never consider engaging with any other team. They are a full-service team, focusing on all aspects of the transaction from showings to purchase and listings to sale. After years in the business their knowledge of both sides of a transaction provides clients with the ability to make informed decisions. They are reputable and honest which is why they have a loyal client base. We will never work with anyone else!

Mr. and Mrs. Wagner were the perfect couple for us to work with on both the purchase of our beautiful home and the sale of that home. They were very knowledgeable patient and diligent in their work. They walked us through the entire process step-by-step. We never felt intimidated or left out of the process. I hope they will still be real estate agents when we are ready to make our next purchase in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.

Superstars. They sold a piece of hard to sell property and continually provided updates and cogent advice. Without their expertise, I would still have the farm. I actually believe their advice resulted in about the most $ that I would have gotten from the sale. Very creative team.

We worked with Judy and Allan for almost a full year to find our dream mountain house. They were thoughtful, responsive, diligent and made us feel as though we were their only client. We discussed what we wanted in a mountain house, and they directed us to appropriate locations and homes. They know the market better than anyone and would keep us informed whenever a house hit the market that met our needs. They spent countless hours working with us remotely, as well as driving all over the region looking for the right home! They both know the Watauga area so well that it made us feel so comfortable asking for their honest advice on locations.Once we found our future home, they assisted in negotiating our deal, competing with 12 other offers. If you are looking for a mountain home, we truly cannot recommend Next Home Realty enough. You will be in GREAT hands!

We had a great experience with Allan and Judy Wagner on our recent purchase of some vacant land in the mountains of Boone, North Carolina. We have not met them in person yet, but they came highly reccomended by a couple of our most trusted friends that have a home in the same area. Allan and Judy immediately went out and started previewing properties for us, and when they found the perfect fit for us, they called me right away and told me this was a very special property, so we decided to purchase it just based on the pictures and their reccomendation. Truly an awesome couple to work with, and we can't wait to meet them in person in the next month or so, when we go up and see our land. We couldn't be more pleased!!

My wife and I greatly appreciated the help of Judy and Allan. They were very transparent and honest in telling us about properties we viewed, and made helpful suggestions to guide us in the search. They also bent over backward to help us in the closing efforts. They became more than agents in the process...they became friends. I would highly recommend Judy and Allan for any real estate help you may need!

It is always a pleasure working with Judy and Allan Wagner. They are a great team - always professional and prompt in getting information for you. Our purchase of a building lot was seamless and we very much appreciate their knowledge of the area. Allan’s dad was one of the first realtor’s in the Boone area so Allan has been around the real estate business all his life. Judy is a real asset to him and they both bring knowledge and integrity to every transaction. They are just great people to work with!

Alan and Judy were both wonderful throughout the entire process. My wife and myself had countless questions, and they never got frustrated and were always helpful. They even answered emails at midnight just so that we would have the answers we needed as soon as we woke up the following morning. They did a fantastic job, and I would recommend them to anyone!

Alan and Judy were a blessing to my family when my elderly mother was at the point that she could not live alone any longer in Banner Elk, NC. They supported me both emotionally and professionally throughout the entire process. Judy had the home listed the day after moving all of her belongings to SC and had an offer within a week. The Wagners stayed in contact with me daily (sometimes multiple times) and handled everything so I could concentrate on my moms health and move to SC with me. You will not find more loving, caring people to help you through the process of buying or selling a home.

I can't say enough about Judy and Allan Wagner. Their company, Next home Mountain Realty, was recommended to us by a neighbor to help with the sale of our mother's summer residence in Boone, NC. We could not have found a more informed and helpful company to work with. If we had questions on anything concerning the sale, they were there to answer them. They advised us as to what we needed to do to and had information available for us to select appraisers, inspectors etc. and knew the regulations needed for Watauga County. Any questions we had were answered promptly, and they were available to talk with you any time you needed them.
Our Mother's home was sold recently. Should we ever have property to sell in Watauga County again, Judy and Allan will be the realtors that we will contact.
They are true professionals and we would highy recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent realtor.

Allan was fantastic to work with in my efforts to find a home in the mountains. He was totally patient with me and my need to find just the right place that required looking at many places over several months. He is very knowledgeable of the most desirable areas. He helped me so much with all the details involved with purchasing a new home and getting everything done in spite of my living 3 hours away. Don’t know what I would have done without his help and expertise.

Judy and Allan were wonderful – truly, truly gems in a sea of so-so agents. I recently purchased an investment property in the High Country and wasn't super familiar with the nuances of the area. Allan and Judy were God-sends in that regard – they're experts of their craft and their decades of experience made my purchase process seamless. They listened to my wants/needs, laughed at all my jokes, and offered me the honesty and integrity that's so integral when purchasing a home from afar. I'll be going out of my way to recommend Judy and Allan to anyone looking for a home in the High Country. Even better, I can't wait to have them over for dinner once I'm all settled.

Judy and Allan were amazing to work with. I had a sincerely difficult time finding realtors in the area who would return a phone call/e-mail, or frankly display competence if they did so. Judy and Allan were incredibly helpful in finding the perfect property for me, and they were more than kind and communicative throughout. I only wish I had found them sooner. I 100% recommend them.

Allan and Judy are a powerhouse Real Estate couple. Our group consisted of three families looking to purchase a second home and investment property. So to say our situation was unique is an understatement . Allan and Judy took the challenge and were so patient with us no matter how long it took. We are so thankful to them both for going the extra mile and guiding us through this long process, to make sure all our boxes were checked for the perfect home. We looked forward to making many memories together and we have Judy and Allan to thank for making it all happen.

Judy and Allan are top notch realtors. This is our 4th time buying a home and by far our best experience in terms of insight, communication, negotiation, and steering us through the process. They are not trying to sell you something you don’t need and will give you honest feedback and insight on a property. They are a delight to work with and couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Judy and Allan have an in-depth understanding of the locations and the market in and around Boone and Blowing Rock and, as a result, we were able to find the perfect location to build our next home--after months of searching on our own. We would highly recommend working with them.

First of all they met with my wife and I on a Saturday morning and showed us about 6 properties. None of them seemed to be right for us. Judy suggested a new subdivision that was in the area we wanted. We selected a lot and then called back several days later to cancel. We then reconsidered and wanted to purchase it. She was patient and kind thru the entire process. She went and took photos of the house while it was under construction (we live 2 hours away). She stayed in contact with the builder and the bank as we prepared for closing. She walked thru the property with us before closing and helped answer every question we had.

We had been privately looking for homes in the High Country for several years before being referred to Judy and Allan Wagner at Next Home Mountain Realty.
As buyers in an amped up market fueled by Covid-19 campers, we had no idea what we were in for. Thankfully Judy and Allan were there for us.
From the beginning, Team Wagner made the buying experience easy. Their ability to schedule appointments quickly (we are talking anywhere between 15 minutes up to one day) was incredible. Having a lifetime of knowledge of the area was also helpful when suggesting alternative properties – they knew what we wanted, delivered solid comps and a brought a logical ability to provide pros & cons of certain locations or Allen’s experience as a former builder in regard to the condition of structures. We felt like we were talking with family.
When it came to finding quality inspectors, attorneys, surveyors, septic or repair contractors they had deep lists of providers for us to reach out to. Making our experience even easier, Judy and Allan made themselves available to the aforementioned service providers if we could not make the scheduled appointment. When our lender had issues with one of his contractors, we knew the seller’s realtor was kept in the loop and talked off a cliff several times. They salvaged a situation that many sellers could have walked away from.
Personally, we feel a connection Judy and Allan and look forward to being able to enjoy a meal on our deck when life becomes less contagious.
Speaking of contagious, we never saw Judy or Allan’s smiles or hands – yes they are respectful of everyone’s safety by choosing to wear a mask and gloves.
Would we utilize Next Home Mountain Realty again – YES.

Allen and Judy Wagner were excellent real estate agents! They were always available to research multiple properties before we finally ended up settling on a house in Linville Land Harbor. They were very knowledgeable about all the necessary documents we were required to complete and gladly assisted us in the entire process of home purchasing. They also expeditiously provided us with contacts for property insurance, home improvements and local agencies we would need in our new location. They consistently made us feel like they were working on our behalf as the buyer’s agents and worked very diligently in assisting us getting the best possible deal on our new home. They also did a great job assisting us in the closing process which went quite smoothly because of their knowledge and contacts with a good law firm. They were truly the best realtors we have ever had and we will definitely use them in the future!!!

JUDY WAGNER
Originally from Miami, Judy Wagner attended PACE High School and Miami Dade College before moving to Charlotte to attend Dental Hygiene School where she met her husband, Allan. She graduated with honors and earned her Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) licenses in both Florida and North Carolina.
In 1971, Judy married her “Boone Boy,” Allan, and made Watauga County her home—back when the county population was just 23,000, Blowing Rock Road was a two-lane highway, and chain restaurants didn’t exist. And "no pizza restaurants."
Since then, Judy has witnessed Boone’s remarkable growth into a vibrant, charming community still known for its commitment to green development, the arts, and outstanding educational opportunities through Appalachian State University, Caldwell Community College, and more.
Combining a rewarding career in dental hygiene with community service, Judy dedicated over 20 years volunteering in the community & as a school volunteer. Judy served as Vice President and President of the St. Joseph’s Room Mothers Association, also serving multiple terms on the Friends of Watauga Board. A devoted mother and grandmother, Judy volunteered extensively with Watauga County Schools and the civic community, earning Volunteer Parent of the Year honors.
Judy later joined her husband in real estate, bringing with her a strong work ethic, entrepreneurial experience, and deep local knowledge. She has owned and managed successful retail businesses and was recognized as a top salesperson in her region.
Her love of research—especially in real estate markets, home sales, medical and genealogy—adds depth to her client service. Through her genealogical research, Judy also earned dual Irish-American citizenship.
An art major before entering the dental field, Judy has a natural talent for décor, staging, and Feng Shui. She is an Accredited Home Stager (ASP) and provides Wagner Team clients with complimentary home staging advice at the time of listing to help homes "sell faster for more."
Judy was among the first REALTORS® in the United States to earn the National Association of REALTORS® GREEN Designation and has assisted dozens of other agents to achieve the same. With a strong interest in sustainable building, solar energy, and wind power, she previously served on the High Country Home Builders Association Green Building Committee. Judy offers clients valuable guidance and trusted resources for energy-efficient and environmentally responsible home strategies.
A true service professional, Judy treats every client with respect, integrity, and care. Whether buying or selling, staging a home, or exploring green and energy-efficient options, Judy and Allan are always just a phone call, text, or email away. They value their clients—and their clients’ time—and respond promptly and personally.
As Judy says, “We’ve been a team for more than 50 years, so working together in a profession we both love suits us to a T.” Honored by the trust her clients place in her, Judy works tirelessly—online and in person—to help them achieve their real estate goals.
We promise you our best… and we keep our promises.
