Testimonials

Bonnie is clear in her communication and knowledgeable of real estate laws and protocol. This first time we were associated with Bonnie she served as our buyer's agent and this time she served us as sellers and did a fabulous job both times. She puts forth an amazing effort to be timely in responses and was patient with our many questions and concerns. Born and raised in WNC, Bonnie knows so many of the communities and towns well, has many local contacts for the small repairs that we needed to make to sell our home, and that is great for her clients. Bonnie also understands and responds patiently to the questions and needs of her clients. I highly recommend Bonnie to anyone seeking to buy or sell in WNC.

Our family could not have recommended her more highly, and now we know why. Bonnie is FANTASTIC!!!!! Bonnie was spot on with everything she suggested, Anytime we thought of something we needed to do, she was already on it even before we asked. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable about every part of the process, and I'm looking forward to seeing how she will use her expertise to help us sell the home we're leaving. Having her around greatly reduces our anxiety and worries. She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, patient, approachable, available, down-to-earth, friendly, and funny. She genuinely cares about her clients, too, Once we sell our previous home, we'll miss working with her. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to help us through this process, and we'd recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone hoping to move to this area. If we could give her higher ratings, we would. We're very grateful to our relatives for recommending and finally connecting us with her. She has done an amazing job for both them and us! We weren't really looking forward to the process--it's complicated and can get lengthy. But Bonnie made it much, much nicer than we ever expected it would be. We have a place to sell in Nashville, too, and we wish she could handle that for us, as well.

I cannot say enough about what a joy it was to work with Bonnie Cathey. She was informative, totally accessible, responsive, thorough, and a fantastic listener. She really honed in on our preferences and showed us exactly what we needed to see to make good comparisons. Our new home had features we were not familiar with and she was critical to us in the inspection process because of that. From start to finish, Bonnie made the whole process easy and took outstanding care of us. She is an excellent agent.

Bonnie is very knowledgeable about the local real estate community and about real estate in general. She is also very easy to work with, making real estate dealings as easy and fun as possible. I've told multiple friends and coworkers that Bonnie is who you need to talk to if you're interested in buying or selling a home. If you do what she says, you will sell your home for the highest price in the least possible time. If you follow her guidance when looking for a home to buy, you will find the home that best fits your budget and lifestyle from what's available. She is also extremely helpful in handling all of the miscellaneous activities required when buying and selling and even anything after the transaction is complete. Most important of all, Bonnie is honest and straightforward. She will tell you the truth even when you may not want to hear it and that is vital in real estate. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor and hope to work with her again in the future. Thanks Bonnie!

Bonnie Cathey is an excellent realtor that's so knowledgeable. She knew the market and was willing to work hard to get me what I needed. Since I had to sell the house without being present, it was imperative my realtor be trustworthy. Thankfully, Bonnie was all that and better. She will help you get what you need in the time you need. She's straightforward, hardworking, and has such great integrity. I highly recommend using her as a realtor.

Bonnie was not very familiar with Madison County, yet she took the time to learn the area, took into consideration our needs, and found us the perfect property. She is highly energetic, and always ready to dig and do what's asked of her. She made sure to take some burdens off of me, telling me to let her do her job and handle things. She relieved a lot of stress from me during this process. We have been searching for property since October 2014. We have been through 6 different agents. When we finally got to Bonnie as a referral from my brother-in-law, she helped us find the right property and we finally have the property we need from the agent who needed to help us! I am grateful for her awesome service!

Bonnie understood our needs (sometimes better than we did). The number of tasks she was able to manage concurrently was unbelievable. Actual sentence I spoke to someone during this real estate transaction: "2 days is more than enough time. One thing I've learned by working with Bonnie is that you can accomplish an awful lot in 24 hours." I used that sentiment with great effect during negotiations. Ultimately, we sold our house and bought our dream house with Bonnie's help. That's all that really matters to us.

From our first meeting with Bonnie Cathey it was clear that she wanted to know exactly what we were looking for. We instantly felt comfortable with her. By asking clear questions about areas, special requirements, and reason for moving she actually helped us solidify our issues. She was always available by phone or in person. We would (and already have) recommend Bonnie to friends and family. Her style, knowledge and caring manner would make her an asset for any buyer/seller. We will be listing our current home with her when we actually move. We feel confident we'll get the same high level of service then also.

Bonnie Cathey went above and beyond to make sure we understood every step of making our home purchase. We found a property that had been foreclosed and purchasing a foreclosure is very different from any other home we have purchased in the past. Bonnie was available for anything we needed most important, making sure we understood what buying a foreclosed home requires and everything that it entails. Bonnie's extra attention to detail make her one of the best Real estate agents I know. When you work with Bonnie you feel like you are the only client she has and your priority. When purchasing a home having trust in your realtor is key. I will be recommending Bonnie to anyone that may need a realtor in the future.

My husband and I reviewed the agents of the downtown office and liked Bonnie Cathey's profile. My husband and I met her and were impressed by her professionalism, experience, knowledge, diligence. We could not have picked a better agent. We picked her by pure luck and it was perfect. She has a very warm and friendly personality. You feel at ease asking any questions. No request by mail, text or phone was left unanswered. Her attention to detail is exceptional. We felt at ease during the whole process. Her input had insight and was very valuable to help us make the right decisions. Everything went very smoothly. I can not think of any criticism. We have dealt with many agents in the past and Bonnie Cathey is truly a gem to work with. We will definitely refer her and use her again in our next listing.

I have used Bonnie Cathey to guide and advise me in three real estate transactions. Each time Bonnie has been professional , helpful, and ready to offer information for me to use in making decisions concerning my sale or purchase of property! She even brought me coffee when my electricity was not working! So I am happy to recommend my friend Bonnie to anyone interested in real estate service in western N.C.

We absolutely could not have asked for more from Bonnie either of the times we worked with her, when buying in the past and when selling this time. She was organized, efficient, and friendly. We would and have recommended her to anyone who asks. I was dreading the entire sales process and it ended up being a breeze from start to finish.

Bonnie is an amazing realtor! She helped us in buying a house in 2015 and selling in 2016 - both instances required a quick turnaround time. She exceeded our expectations in every way possible. She is extremely kind, understanding, honest, and knowledgeable. She truly wants the best for you and will do whatever she can to make that happen. We would recommend Bonnie to anyone looking for a simple and seamless home buying/selling experience.

Bonnie Cathey is an excellent realtor that's so knowledgeable. She knew the market and was willing to work hard to get me what I needed. Since I had to sell the house without being present, it was imperative my realtor be trustworthy. Thankfully, Bonnie was all that and better. She will help you get what you need in the time you need. She's straightforward, hardworking, and has such great integrity. I highly recommend using her as a realtor.

Bonnie Cathey is an excellent agent. We highly recommend her. We found her very knowledgeable and helpful. She exceeded out expectations. She also provided helpful recommendations regarding the sale of our New Bern home. We are very grateful for her excellent customer service. She represented us at home inspections arranging them and being present because we were out of town buyers. We feel your office is very fortunate to have Bonnie Cathey on your team.

Bonnie was not very familiar with Madison County, yet she took the time to learn the area, took into consideration our needs, and found us the perfect property. She is highly energetic, and always ready to dig and do what's asked of her. She made sure to take some burdens off of me, telling me to let her do her job and handle things. She relieved a lot of stress from me during this process. We have been searching for property since October 2014. We have been through 6 different agents. When we finally got to Bonnie as a referral from my brother-in-law, she helped us find the right property and we finally have the property we need from the agent who needed to help us! I am grateful for her awesome service!

Ms. Cathey was very professional. She went over and beyond with her help to get our home ready for listing. We needed someone to finish the renovations and she provided the name of an excellent contractor. Though the market did not yield the selling price we had hoped, she explain way that was and what were our best options from that point forward. We were very thankful to have such an exceptional realtor.

We had an extremely wonderful experience with Bonnie Cathey. From our introductory phone call to closing and moving in, she was always helpful, honest and supportive. It was important to us to find someone who understood our needs and wasn't afraid to tell you the truth and that's exactly what she provided. This was our first home buying experience and Bonnie made everything absolutely seamless. We will definitely use Bonnie for our future Asheville home buying and selling needs.

Bonnie understood our needs (sometimes better than we did). The number of tasks she was able to manage concurrently was unbelievable. Actual sentence I spoke to someone during this real estate transaction: "2 days is more than enough time. One thing I've learned by working with Bonnie is that you can accomplish an awful lot in 24 hours." I used that sentiment with great effect during negotiations. Ultimately, we sold our house and bought our dream house with Bonnie's help. That's all that really matters to us.

From our first meeting with Bonnie Cathey it was clear that she wanted to know exactly what we were looking for. We instantly felt comfortable with her. By asking clear questions about areas, special requirements, and reason for moving she actually helped us solidify our issues. She was always available by phone or in person. We would (and already have) recommend Bonnie to friends and family. Her style, knowledge and caring manner would make her an asset for any buyer/seller. We will be listing our current home with her when we actually move. We feel confident we'll get the same high level of service then also.

Upon my first meeting with Bonnie I was at ease in conversation. She immediately thought of me and how I personally would benefit in many ways by becoming a home owner.I had been renting and my money was going nowhere.She then got me to Rachel Helton,the rest is history living happy and comfortable in my very own home next door to my sister!!

Bonnie Cathey went above and beyond to make sure we understood every step of making our home purchase. We found a property that had been foreclosed and purchasing a foreclosure is very different from any other home we have purchased in the past. Bonnie was available for anything we needed most important, making sure we understood what buying a foreclosed home requires and everything that it entails. Bonnie's extra attention to detail make her one of the best Real estate agents I know. When you work with Bonnie you feel like you are the only client she has and your priority. When purchasing a home having trust in your realtor is key. I will be recommending Bonnie to anyone that may need a realtor in the future.

Bonnie Cathey is amazing! We were on a tight timeline to find a home before our baby arrived. She took us to look at every possible place and checked the market at least twice a day for new listings for us. We is extremely knowledgeable about homes - pitfalls to look for, things that improve resale value, market trends, etc. We learned so much while working with Bonnie. I cannot say enough about her!

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.
