Four agents, four areas of deep expertise
Every Calder & Rowe agent focuses on the neighborhoods they know best, so you always get someone with firsthand knowledge of the block, not just the listing sheet.
Nora Halstead
Principal Broker & Co-Founder
Nora co-founded Calder & Rowe in 2014 after a decade brokering historic-district homes across western North Carolina. She holds the state's Historic Property Specialist designation and has personally closed more than 260 transactions in Montford, Grove Park, and Kenilworth.
Marcus Oyelaran
Co-Founder & Buyer Specialist
Marcus leads the firm's buyer-side practice, with a focus on first-time buyers and relocations to West Asheville, Black Mountain, and Haw Creek. A former general contractor, he's known for spotting renovation red flags before an inspection ever happens.
Priya Desmond
Listing Agent, Downtown & South Asheville
Priya specializes in downtown lofts and South Asheville communities like Biltmore Park and Weaverville. She built the firm's staging and marketing program, and her listings average 11 fewer days on market than the county benchmark.
Dashiell Farrow
Relocation & Land Specialist
Dashiell works with out-of-state buyers relocating to the Asheville area, along with acreage and land purchases in Weaverville, Black Mountain, and the surrounding county. He grew up in Buncombe County and can speak to nearly every neighborhood's septic, well, and zoning quirks from memory.
