About Me

Everyday I am amazed by the fabulous restaurants and shopping in our mountain city. If I want to sit by the creek I just walk out the door of my home and nature surrounds me. It is the best of both worlds; southern city life and nature.

My two sons are now grown with families of their own. I have three grandchildren with whom I love to spend time.

Experience

As a full time real estate agent, helping home buyers and sellers navigate complicated transactions offers me the opportunity to serve people and help them establish homes in this vibrant part of the world.

Before earning my real estate license in 2013, I owned and operated Mountain Harvest Florist and Garden Center in Fairview. Just as much as helping customers, I enjoyed supporting the region’s plants and environment through sales of organic fertilizer and soil. I also specialized in selling native plants that directly sustain the local honeybees and native bird populations.

Being a part of the exceptional Beverly-Hanks & Associates family furthers my ability to serve your real estate needs. For more than 40 years, Beverly-Hanks has been Western North Carolina’s real estate market leader. Our cutting-edge online presence, paired with the most visible real estate offices around, means the Beverly-Hanks name is associated with professionalism and respect—and success! Clients trust and know I am doing what is best for them.

Listening to your plans and making your dreams work is the best part of my job!

Contact me with your wants, needs and dreams I will promptly have a plan and follow through with it to make sure your home is sold or the property your wish to purchase is found. Listening and moving quickly are two key factors in helping you have a great real estate experience.

She made our purchase easy. We had consulted another realtor before Carol, they could not find us anything that we liked. We were going to rent a house for next summer, but when we got to Asheville to look at the houses, they were all unacceptable. We turned to Carol after our effort to rent was to no avail. We only had a few hours to spend in Asheville to look at houses. She showed us four houses in one afternoon, the third was the charm. We are grateful for her help.

Carol Holcombe has been an absolute delight and very helpful. I almost felt like I was being helped by family. She took everything I said and wished for in consideration when searching for my new home. When the time came to decide, she let me step back and review. She wasn't pushy or impatient and really let this be mine. Even after the purchase, she kept up with me to make sure I wasn't just hing out to dry and alone. She has been an absolute God send during this whole process. Thank you, Carol. I love my new home.

Purchasing a new home is always a difficult process. Moving to a new city and state was even more stressful for us. We did not know anything about Asheville our the real estate market here. We found Carol simply by walking into a local office hoping to interview agents and find a good fit. Carol was our first realtor experience and we are thankful we were so lucky to stumble onto her in our search. Carol drove us to many of the unique parts of Asheville to see what kind of condo we wanted. We learned so much touring Asheville with Carol and seeing the many different styles of condos in the area. When we returned to Ohio to list our old home for sale Carol continued to keep us updated with new listings as they hit the market. She also found our dream condo and notified us quickly when it came on the market. We immediately drove from Ohio to Asheville and made an offer which she helped close every step of the way. Carol is a true professional and super experienced with the Asheville market.

Being a young person, I couldn't find anyone to take me seriously. Not only did she take me seriously, she explained to me how I didn't have to work with her if I found someone else or wanted to "fire" her. She was genuine and I trusted her. I'm so glad I did. I've told friends and coworkers to please reach out to her if they need any housing. She is absolutely amazing. I felt confident and secure with her. I felt she was "on my side". She sat next to me and explained everything when I was putting in an offer, signing the contracts, etc. she fit so well with our family. We love working with her so much!!!! I have to say she was excellent on everything because if she didn't know something, she would ask and then get right back to us. Just fantastic. She was so helpful with being on top of the paperwork, inspections, etc. She knows her way around Asheville, and it shows. I felt like she listened to me, was relatable, and a wonderful and patient support with the stress of buying a first home. I'm inviting her to my open house!!!!!

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.
