Cheers to both the Buyer and the Seller on this amazing downtown condo. We were fortunate enough to represent and bring both sides together on this one.

We highlight all the advantages of a particular condo home. Our tailored strategy not only captures attention but positions the condo as a compelling investment or lifestyle opportunity to ensure a successful sale at its peak market value. Given this we were able to attract an enthusiastic buyer at the right time.

This beautifully designed home balances contemporary drama with comfort, thanks to the expertise of designer Susan Chancey. The steep sloped lot provided a unique challenge that was embraced rather than avoided. The dramatic elements of the design were accentuated through the use of contrasting colors, textures, and key fixtures, while comfort was ensured with soft fabrics and rounded edges. To gain more insight into Susan Chancey's design philosophy and approach, you can refer to Lauren Stepp's article in Caroline Home and Garden here.

Congrats to our out-of-town buyers! Like many of our out-of-state buyers, these folks wanted something they could rent for a few years until they moved to the Asheville area permanently. Driving the county and through videos and face-time we were able to scout out the one after several attempts. As always, we then oversaw the inspection process which led to getting estimates from multiple vendors and negotiating a credit during a two-week due diligence period. Whew! The buyers are thrilled and can stop dreaming of having a place here and can now enjoy the benefits and the equity of owning a home here. Cheers to them!

Congrats to our sellers! This sweet cottage they affectionately named after one of their mothers. The loved making it into a cozy short term rental for visitors to enjoy.

Yeah! Congrats to our buyers who just closed on this remodeled mountain home between Old Fort and Chimney Rock. They were looking for a permanent mountain escape and this home provided everything they needed. It took a lot of negotiating and sacrifices on everyone’s part to get this done, but in the end they have a new nest here in our mountains. They are thrilled. Cheers!
