Our core coverage area is Buncombe County - Asheville, Black Mountain, Weaverville, and Woodfin - but we regularly work with buyers looking slightly further out in Henderson and Madison counties. If a property is outside our usual range, we'll tell you upfront and can refer you to an agent we trust.
Our standard listing commission is 5.5%, split between the listing and buyer's agent, though this can be structured differently depending on the property and marketing plan. We'll walk through the full breakdown and any options during your listing consultation - there's no obligation to sign anything at that first meeting.
Yes. We regularly close deals for buyers who only see a home in person once, or not at all before closing. We offer live video walkthroughs, can coordinate inspections and appraisals on your behalf, and work with remote online notarization where North Carolina law allows it.
It varies significantly by neighborhood. Well-priced homes in the historic core (Montford, Grove Park, Kenilworth) are typically going under contract in 10-20 days. South Asheville and Weaverville, where there's more new-construction inventory, average closer to 30-45 days. We'll give you a realistic estimate specific to your property and price point.
Both. Several of our agents regularly represent buyers on new-construction purchases in Weaverville, South Asheville, and Black Mountain, including reviewing builder contracts and negotiating upgrade allowances - something buyers who go straight to a builder's on-site agent don't always know to ask for.
Asheville's terrain means these vary block by block more than in flatter markets. Many properties outside city limits use well water and septic systems rather than municipal utilities, and flood risk is tied to proximity to specific creeks rather than broad zones. We flag these details on every listing and can connect you with specialists for well, septic, and flood-zone inspections.
Yes, and there's no cost or obligation. We'll walk the property, pull recent comparable sales in your specific neighborhood, and give you a written estimate along with a breakdown of any updates that would meaningfully affect value. Most sellers find this useful even a year or two before they're ready to list.
Our focus is sales, but we occasionally list rental properties for existing clients, particularly accessory dwelling units and investment properties in neighborhoods where we already have strong buyer relationships. Reach out and we can tell you whether it's a fit.
