Tre Kerns: What My Clients Are Saying

Tre was wonderful to work with. He's very responsive and makes communication easy. You can tell he understands the property he's selling and has a knowledgeable background in O&G, which helped us close our deal.

"We can't say enough good things about Tre and our experience with Whitetail Properties staff. Tre was incredibly professional and easy to get ahold of...email, text, phone, etc (weekends, evenings, etc). He was very prompt and thorough with paperwork (offer letters, communicating with seller's agent) and if there were any edits needed, prompt fixes and resubmissions. Tre was also very proactive in the time leading up to settling on this property by sending us listings and ideas that fit our search criteria. This is my third time using Whitetail Properties (first two were with Chad Pangle in Virginia), and will definitely consider Whitetail Properties for any future real estate transactions."

"My name is Dan Holsinger and Tre helped me sell land in Preston County, West Virginia in May of this year. I apologize for the delay in writing this, it completely slipped my mind. Tre did a great job selling the land. He kept me appraised of any offers or additional information the buyers were requesting. It was a smooth transaction and unexpectedly convenient for us. I couldn't imagine a better experience. Thank you!"

"I just wanted to take a moment of your time to express our gratitude and appreciation for the tremendous service Tre Kerns provided us these last few months. Our first try at a property with Tre yielded a misrepresented easement by the seller (wasn't his fault...even the attorney didn't realize until we brought it to her attention). However, Tre navigated this situation with a high degree of professionalism and did everything possible for months trying to help us remedy the situation. We closed on a different property, yesterday. Again, Tre was helpful every step of the way. He spent hours showing us the property. He pointed out all the different species of trees and made us aware of the potential timber value. He found several springs on the property, and helped us locate best spots for building our future homes and ponds. I could name so much more, but the bottom line is we walked away so much more of an idea of how we could develop the property. Overall, I must say that Tre's ability to navigate all the difficulties that arose with these properties, his patience with our questions, his negotiation ability, and his timely follow through on getting us the answers we needed was above and beyond impressive. At times, I even got emails from him in the middle of the night. I have never seen a realtor who works as hard as Tre does. I know it is only human nature for most people to only write reviews when they want to complain, so many times those giving exceptional service like Tre do not get the credit they deserve. I just wanted to share with you our gratitude.When we are ready to sell our present home, Tre will get our listing."

" From day one Tre was extremely helpful and professional with his time and our time along with being very honest. He took the time to look the property over and get the best photos he could along with existing trail cam and harvest photos I had which definitely would appeal to the outdoorsman and some one looking for a home in the country! He did an excellent job of keeping us up to date on everything that was going on from start to finish and we really couldn’t ask for any more than what he delivered ! Thank you Tre Kerns & Whitetail Properties!"

"I just wanted you to know what a super job you did in helping us sell our Mount Vernon property. Virginia and I were extremely pleased with the speed with which you were able to find a buyer. But I was especially impressed with the effort you put into publicizing the property. The aerial photos were a very neat touch. I also want to say thanks for the speed and simplicity of the settlement. I wish you all the luck in the world with your future efforts."

"I wanted to write to comment on the performance of Tre Kerns who was instrumental in the recent sale of the Rogers Estate in Fairmont WV. Tre proved to be a valuable partner as our representative, his efforts and professionalism proved to be quite valuable and extremely helpful to my wife and sister in law as they worked through the challenging and emotional process of selling the place where they grew up. Whitetail Properties, and especially Tre performed to the level of our expectations, and we are very pleased with the services and the outcome you have provided. If we ever are in search of property or have other real estate matters we will certainly reach out to your organization for assistance. Thank you!"

"I really wish I knew to whom specifically I should direct this letter in order to maximize exposure at the highest level. I want to ensure that everyone and anyone at Whitetail Properties knows what a fantastic representative you have in Tre Kerns. My wife and I have a house in the city, but have been looking for a rural piece of property to call home for some time. A couple such pieces of land, which were beautiful, fell through due to a lack of confidence on our part in the agents' handling things on our behalf. These were not Whitetail agents, and this was definitely not the case with Tre. I first submitted information one evening a few months ago on your website, showing interest in a property in northern West Virginia. I expected to hear something back in a day or two. Tre called about 10 minutes later. He was simultaneously professional and affable. It felt like I was talking to a friend on the phone who was willing to share his time and experience to help me through the process. Within a few days we had scheduled to meet at the property to see it. This was our first time buying a farm. When we met, I asked questions… lots of questions. Some related to the structures, some to the land, some to the wildlife, and some were just completely random. I asked questions that I was sort of embarrassed to ask, as I felt that someone considering this type of purchase should already know the answers. He was kind and patient and explained everything I asked about. He walked us through the houses and outbuildings and even did a quick walk into the woods with us. No question went unanswered. No concern went unaddressed. My wife, Tina, and I were pretty much sold before our tires left the driveway. He insisted that I call him at any time if I had questions or concerns, and as you can imagine with this type of transaction, the questions came. We had filled a page and a half before we made it back home. True to his word he was always available. I work strange hours, but day or night, weekday or weekend, he was there with the answers, or he went and found them unbelievably quickly. I discovered he would be representing the seller as well as us in the transaction, and I'll be honest, that had me a bit concerned. However, he helped us to negotiate with each other, and I sincerely believe both parties felt they got much more than they expected once the final deal was reached. He even helped us with some last-minute matters regarding the closing, making it as easy and stress-free as the rest of the process. He went so far as to set it up so that the previous owner could stay in place until June first when their new place would be ready, but at the same time allowed us to close early on the ninth of May… Tina's birthday. When we walked into our new home on June 1, there was a package waiting from Tre. I had told him during our first meeting months earlier that I liked his ballcap. The package contained two Whitetail Properties ballcaps and a beautiful wood cutting board. Those hats have spent a lot of time with us walking through town, exploring our new property, and catching fish in our new pond. The cutting board has a prominent place in our kitchen. They really were such a considerate thought on his part and were the icing on the cake. A process that I expected to be nerve wracking and daunting was quick, easy, and I’d go so far as to say pleasurable. We won’t be fully moved in until September and have been back and forth to our new home a few times. We were so thrilled that we were here when he came to collect his signs. We were quite literally excited to see him, and he has been told that he has an open invitation to stop in whenever work brings him this way. That isn’t hyperbole; it's sincere. I know it's his job to be kind and accommodating, but he has a sincerity that can’t be faked. He has even checked in with us a couple times since the closing just to make sure everything is going ok. We really consider him a friend, and he has earned a place in our hearts not only for himself, but for your company. Should we ever look for property again, you will be who I call. Should a friend ever ask for a recommendation, your name will be spoken. I apologize that this letter is coming so long after our closing, but as I mentioned earlier, my hours are strange. That combined with a few trips between West Virginia's northern panhandle and Virginia Beach, and going through the wickets of converting my position to a remote employee position caused the delay. However, I needed to share my experience with ALL of you. If the rest of your Land Specialists are half as good as Tre, you should count yourselves blessed."

"A big thanks to Tre for selling our late father's property. We went with Tre after listing with a previous company. I'm so glad we made that decision. I was heartbroken to see it go but Tre helped it move on to someone who will love and care for it as much as we did. It was not an easy property to sell and the logistics of the will also made it very difficult. Tre came through for us."

"Working with Tre was fantastic. We sold our farm in just over a month and for a lot more than a local realtor was going to market it for. Tre is very knowledgeable and “held our hand” through the entire process. I’ve told several of my friends about him in case they are interested in selling their homes as well."

"Tre was very professional and went above and beyond to ensure that the sales process was as painless as possible for my family when we sold my father's farm following his death. I know that many of the tasks that Tre helped us with would not have been handled by a traditional realtor."

" We purchased the property in Flemington WV and wanted to let you know what a wonderful job Tre Kerns did. He went above and beyond for us. He answered any questions we had in a timely manner and handled every concern we had professionally. We had to move the closing a few times and Tre was very understanding and even went to bat for us to talk to the seller to accommodate us. He spoke to the title company multiple times to make sure the Deed was clean and written the way we asked and he worked to get a right of way lien terminated off of the property. We really enjoyed working with Tre he treated us like a friend and not just a client. We would highly recommend him and he will be the one we call when we are ready to sell our home in Clarksburg."

"My father passed away in April of 2023 and left his home to my brother, sister and I. We needed someone to guide us through the process of selling an older home on 30+ acres. Tre Kerns was the perfect fit for what my family needed and what my father's property needed from a realtor. Tre explained what his strategy would be in listing and marketing the estate and he consistently went the extra mile to make it happen. I can't recommend Tre enough. He certainly delivered for my family. My thanks to Whitetail Properties and specifically to Tre Kerns!

"I want to express to Whitetail Properties that I am very pleased & grateful for the work that was done to sell my late father's house & land. In particular, I want to thank Mr. Tre Kerns for his invaluable efforts towards this sale. From the start, he jumped on this & guided us throughout the process. This was not an easy task & there were some unforeseen obstacles that had to be overcome. He personally cut a large portion of the property with his tractor, took drone footage, & made a very nice presentation that undoubtedly caught the eye of several potential buyers. He simplified the process by staying in close contact with me & my sisters, quickly sending us the documents that had to be signed so that things kept moving forward. He has great communication skills, was very honest & professional throughout. I will advise any of my friends, co-workers, or acquaintances to contact Tre and/or Whitetail if they have property to sell."

Thank you very much!

"I greatly appreciated everything Tre did to sell my father's property. I have known Tre for many years and based on his familiarity with selling large properties, I was confident he would go above and beyond to find the best deal / sale for my sister, brother and I. We can not thank him enough. He was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who asks me for a real estate agent."

"I sold my land in WV through Tre Kerns in February this year. Tre was a big help throughout the entire process of selling the land, was very knowledgeable, and professional. I will highly recommend Tre to anyone looking to purchase or sell property."

" Tre did a great job selling our property in Tucker Co. WV. He had it sold in no time and everything went well. If we should sale more of our property we will be in touch with Tre again. "

"Great! Everything was very smooth and went to plan for a wonderful experience and great deal!"

"We had the pleasure of working with Tre Kerns in the sale of our home. He was always available when we had a question for a call or text and very responsive. He has great customer service and people skills. He is knowledgeable about what he does. We had no doubts in trusting him with selling our home. I would recommend him 10/10."

"Tre Kerns recently assisted me, my sister and brother in selling a property in West Virginia. We have been attempting to sell this property for multiple years and used several realtors without success. Fortunately, Tre Kerns, with Whitetail Properties Real Estate helped us accomplish what we were beginning to believe would never happen. The sale is complete! Tre actively pursued solutions to problems, maintained contact with the three of us throughout the process and was considerate of our questions and concerns! Need a realtor who knows how to sale large properties, I would be happy to recommend Tre Kerns!"

" Our heart felt thanks to Tre Kerns of Whitetail Properties Real Estate. Our property sale was very complicated, 3 owners, almost 1,000 acres, and many deed problems. We had the property listed with two other realtors for over 8 years, but with in 4 1/2 months Tre Kern had the property sold. Tre rose to this challenge with his real estate knowledge, which made this a pleasant experience. We can't thank Tre enough for all his guidance, taking our calls at off hours, and talking me off a ledge of worry. His research, patience, kindness and professionalism are outstanding. We are so very grateful he went above and beyond. We feel blessed to have had such an outstanding realtor and the wonderful team at Whitetail Properties Real Estate. We strongly recommend Tre Kerns and the team at Whitetail Properties Real Estate."

"I recently worked with Tre to sell land my wife inherited. We never dreamed the process would be as quick and efficient as Tre made this process, but he did the job. He sold the property quickly, all the paperwork was digital, (how easy is that!) and it was finished within a timely manner. We would highly recommend Tre to all of our family and friends. And will be using him again for all of our selling needs in the future."

Tre has been responsive and extremely helpful in coordinating between the seller and me and finding a way to finalize the deal.

We recently purchased a cabin on Allegheny Mountain with Tre as the listing agent. Our experience with him was very positive, and we were quite pleased with all the information and useful advice/help he gave us. He truly was very professional and personable with us. Just letting you know how we felt dealing with Tre. We want to thank him for everything!

I just wanted to take a moment and fill you in on one of Whitetail Properties' finest agents. Tre displayed excellent communication skills and brought a professionalism to the process that I've not seen in many agents. I've worked with several real estate agents over the last few years and not many put the time and resources into the job necessary to make it a career. Tre went above and beyond and clearly will be working in the industry as long as it's what he wants to do. We look forward to working with Tre again soon. Thanks again, Mr. Kerns, for the exemplary work; it was very much appreciated!

Tre was a great realtor to work with, he definitely has a passion for what he does and genuinely loves helping his clients. I am completely blown away by his kindness, dedication, and knowledge!

My husband and I were on the search of property for hunting. Being from out of the area, Tre had our wishlist and understood our needs. He would go out and walk properties, giving us his honest impressions, even offering ideas on ways to utilize certain areas. I had complete faith and confidence in Tre’s assessment. When our schedule allowed, he would make sure he was available to show us as many properties as on our list. It was a long journey but Tre was there every step of the way and helped us to secure the right property for us!

We are very thankful that Tre was our real estate agent but even more thankful that we found such a great friend in Tre. We are so excited to start building memories!

My wife and I just closed on a property in WV with Whitetail Properties. Tre Kerns was the real estate agent for the property.

I wanted to take a quick moment and highlight Tre's performance during the transaction. Tre is the best agent I have worked with since I started investing in real estate 10 years ago. He was very responsive and professional while communicating. His knowledge of the area and the specific property was a significant factor for my decision to purchase the property. He quickly and thoroughly address all of my questions and concerns. If I were to start a real estate firm, I'd want Tre on my team.

Thank you for your business and for employing someone like Tre to help the transaction go smoothly.

From the very beginning, Tre has been a great help. He has been a wealth of information on so many facets of the process from walking the property with me to recommending loan officers that specialize in land transactions. I had a great deal of questions for Tre and with confidence, he was able to answer them all. We talked hunting and land management strategies that would best work for the property 's topography and he was patient when I wondered off to look at game signs. I felt well informed and more than ready to move forward, which we did. Next steps, get some cameras up and start collecting data for next season. Many thanks Tre!

I recently bought a property in Wetzel County that Tre Kerns listed on his website. He was very professional, answered all my questions, and went out of his way to help me through the closing process. I would recommend Tre Kerns to anyone wanting to list or buy rural property.

We had the opportunity to work with Tre Kerns on our recent purchase of a farm in Barbour County, WV. We would like to commend Tre on his professionalism and the ability to answer any questions that we had during the process of purchasing this farm. He has a very vast knowledge of the area and was able to provide us with information about assistance with other items that we wanted to look into such as timbering the property, water resources and the like. He was available to answer questions if we called and if not got back to us within 1/2 hour or sooner. We would highly recommend Tre to any of our friends or associates that may be interested in buying or selling property in Barbour County. Overall, Trey is a good person and a man of his word.

Very professional.

Thanks so much for taking care of me for my recent purchase in Burlington. I was referred to you by Whitetail Properties in southern VA and it worked well. You were able to meet with me when I needed to when I live so far away. Thanks again for your help.

"Tre was very knowledgeable, very responsive, and professional."

Tre did an outstanding job selling the farm. He was very professional and courteous and kept us updated on the progress of the sale. We would highly recommend him.

Very easy process!

He was very polite and answered all questions respectfully. He helped with anything regarding the computer, as we are older and not very computer savvy. The sale and e-signing of documents were very easy with Tre's help. I would definitely use Whitetail Properties and Tre in the future!

Our experience working with Tre was great from start to finish. He is a very down-to-earth, great guy. If we had any questions, he went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered. Thanks Tre for the great experience!
