Starting in sales and quickly climbing the corporate ladder through the years as Program Manager Office systems in the Mid-Atlantic regional office, Marketing Manager-National Accounts in Washington, DC, Program Manager-Southwest Marketing Division headquarters, a channels business development executive,…………..and the list goes on! Charles says “If you want to go where you have never been, you need to do what you have never done.” Charles London seems to have done it all; and done it all well.
Standout life experiences throughout his business life include being the Director of Volunteer Services – Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games. He was responsible for the program execution and infrastructure development to recruit, assign, train, uniform and deploy 47,500 volunteers for the Centennial Olympic Games. He managed a full time staff of 59 employees and loaned executives. He was also Consultant to the Nagano, Japan government for the volunteer program for the 1998 Winter Olympic Games.
Charles and his wife Ida have two grown children and having visited Asheville several times through the years they made a decision they wanted to call Asheville home. Charles embarked on his real estate career, and found it to a perfect fit for his accumulated skills.
He believes there are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional – integrity, in – depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high – quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how Charles London works.
After his many career moves over the years and buying and selling real estate, Charles experienced all the trials and tribulations of relocation moves, as well as local moves. These real estate activities enabled him to fully understand the expectations of first time as well as luxury buyers. When he began his real estate career he developed his “client – first” philosophy. This means keeping himself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator and responding quickly to his client’s needs.
Former clients love to recommend him:
“Charles London is a very trustworthy agent who cares about his clients. I have worked with him on three pieces of real estate and have only positive things to say about his approach to real estate in today’s market. Charles has integrity and is an honest straight shooter that tells clients the way he sees things without beating round the bush or sugar coating anything. He will work hard for his clients and strives to orchestrate appointments around his clients’ schedules and always has time for them. I would highly recommend Charles if you’re looking at purchasing or selling real estate in Asheville or Western North Carolina.” (Aaron Meinch)
“From the moment we met Charles we knew we were in good hands because he is an honest, genuine person who really cared about our first time home buying experience. Throughout the process he educated us while allowing us the freedom to choose the perfect home. We couldn’t have done it without him. You just can’t go wrong when Charles is in your corner. Thanks Charles!” (Ben & Lora Atkins)

We would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and if we move again…you’ll be the first one we’d call! Thanks again,”
