Binford was our agent when we purchased a home in Asheville a year ago. We were extremely pleased with her service. When it came to selecting an agent to sell our home, we called Binford because we knew she would provide excellent service.
Cynthia Voccio, Lawrenceville, GA


This was my first time using Binford. I chose her because she is highly recommended by others and I personally know her work ethics. Her knowledge of the area where we were looking was a bonus. Binford took the time to listen to our dreams of what the property we wanted to build on would be like. She found quite a few locations to show us. We were thrilled with what she found, especially the one we choose. She is a professional.

J Starbuck, Maggie Valley


We felt an instant connection with Binford Jennings. We literally felt as if we had a new friend from our first meeting. The more time we spent with her, the more comfortable we felt. We were laughing and joking around as if we had known each other for years! Having that type of connection works best for my husband and I. It made the process so much easier to navigate. Binford made everything so very easy for us. She gave us peace of mind as we were three hours away. We knew she was taking care of us even when we weren’t in town. While we did most of our business over the phone, via email or text, we did go into the office once and found the staff friendly and helpful. Binford made everything so very easy for us.

Lisa Barone, Waynesville


Binford Jennings knew what I was looking for and helped me find it. She was always available to show me property when I asked and never made me feel I was a bother. Did not push me to buy and was patient.
Phyllis Roe Asheville


As first time home buyers, it was very important that we felt comfortable, supported and safe with our agent. We found that wholeheartedly with Binford. She carefully explained every aspect of the process and never made us feel like we were an imposition with our numerous emails and questions! We felt protected and cared for by Binford and when necessary she went to bat for us. Everything was handled with such precision, we never had to worry about something being missed. I would choose Binford to help me go through this process again without a shadow of a doubt!
Katie, Waynesville


Binford Jennings is an enthusiastic, energetic realtor who got right to work promoting my home. She held an Open House immediately after listing, highlighting its advantages, and within a week were were under contract! Binford is polite, positive, responsive, and a hard worker. You can't ask for more than that. I enjoyed working with Binford.
Mary Alice Adams, Charlotte, NC


Binford was referred to us from our selling agent out of town. She contacted us once the information was forwarded and we started the process. She took the time to listen to our options for home choices and did the homework, set up the appointments and provided all the necessary information before we viewed the property, in addition to scoping it out beyond the ordinary. We viewed several options, made changes in what we were looking for, and she consistently provided options to meet our criteria. With us being out of town, Binford contacted all the necessary people (inspector, contractor, plumber, excavator, etc.) to check out the options. This was done on several properties to ensure we are making the right choice. She made sure we had the information to make the right choice, and if after further investigation the house was not right, we would move on to one that fit the criteria and she would start contacting the necessary people again. She would flag the concerns so we were well informed. Her goal was not closing the deal - her goal was to ensure we found the right fit for us and that is not the always the case. She was never discouraged, she had the drive to continue the search for our perfect home. We were very happy to have Binford show us the options around the Asheville area and are excited to have gained a friend in the process.
Logans, Western NC


She has more integrity than any other broker I have ever dealt with. She is also the most knowledgeable. I will never use anybody else!!
Sally Hudson, Waynesville


It took me over two year to sell my house in South Carolina so that I could purchase a home in the Asheville area. Throughout this long process Binford remained enormously helpful, understanding, positive, and patient. She has been, quite simply, the best real estate agent I have ever worked with.
Bill Tynan, Candler, NC


Binford was suggested to us by a colleague who had said how impressed he was with how she treated them, as they were first time home buyers. Binford was always available to answer all the questions that we had. She was able to quickly, and calmly, handle situations that arose since we were out of town during parts of escrow. We will definitely refer Binford to any perspective home buyers we know. She was a great example of what it means to be a supportive and involved real estate agent.
Griffin, Asheville


Binford came across as very genuine and sincere and my needs were clearly her priority throughout the entire process.
Lois McCarthy, Berwyn, IL 60402


Binford responded immediately to my calls and texts. She was always cheerful and polite. Her knowledge of each aspect of the sale of my home was very complete, and she was always reassuring. She is a real treasure, and I was so lucky to have had her as my agent. Everything went so smoothly, and I am sure that was because of Binford. Superb. Binford was so professional, so knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She could answer every question I had and deal with any issue that arose. She is superb.

Marilyn Keiser, Indiana


Binford is a remarkable agent who after months of working with us through a disaster short sale was able to help us find our dream home and do so with remarkable speed and efficiency. My parents live in another state and this was my first time buying a home. Binford made me feel comfortable, gave me her honest opinion, and reassured me when I had questions. The management of Beverly Hanks is truly fortunate to have such a great agent on their staff.
August Forbes- Candler NC

Chuck and Stephanie Baer, Weavervile, NC


Binford Jennings went out of her way to provide me with all the answers I needed, and to help me with the logistics of getting the inspections, repairs, etc., done. She is diligent, energetic and professional and clearly takes her job seriously. Binford works hard to "cover all the bases," and she is a lot of fun in the process. Binford is responsible and tireless in her efforts to meet the needs of her clients. She went above and beyond to help me get settled in, even accompanying me to stores that I might find useful, and helping to get items delivered to the new property.

Overall we had a wonderful experience and really feel that Binford was such a huge part of that!!!
Carter, South Asheville

Ask An Expert
How is the tax bill of a home determined in North Carolina?
Real property is appraised at 100% of market value and includes land, buildings, structures, and improvements. State law requires counties to reappraise every eight years, but many counties reappraise every four. A bill can be a combination of tax rates. For example, a home inside the City of Asheville and Asheville City School districts will have three separate tax rates represented on a bill: the Buncombe County rate, the City of Asheville rate, and the Asheville City School rate. All rates are totaled to calculate the total tax liability. Tax rate estimates for our mountain communities can be found on page 127 of the Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks Welcome magazine.
