Chaim Salomon
About Me
If my name looks intimidating, the easiest way to pronounce is "Hi-am" (one syllable), or just call me Salomon!
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I vacationed in Asheville with my family several years in a row before taking the plunge to realize our mountain lifestyle dreams in early 2018. We were lured here by the magnificent beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the kindness and adventurousness of the people, and the superior beer brewed using these mountain waters.
When I am not helping people fulfill their WNC real estate dreams, you'll find me exploring the area’s unmatched hiking and water activities, trying out a new brewery or restaurant, listening to live music, competing in a trivia night, and enjoying time at home with Katy, our son Asher, and our two shelter-adopted cats Olive and Honey. We’re active members of The Chabad House of Asheville, a synagogue downtown, and I managed the renovation of its new building when we first moved to town!
Experience
I’m here to make your family’s Western North Carolina dreams come true! Tired of the four-hour commute back and forth each day to my job managing a high school textbook publishing company, my wife Katy and I renovated our 1931 Long Island, NY home ourselves and sold it for a large profit, paying off Katy’s NYU graduate school student loans. Through the process of buying, flipping, selling, and buying again, I realized that my true passion is real estate. I made it my mission to become the best of the best full-time professional real estate agents in the area. Choosing to work for Beverly-Hanks was a natural fit because of its exceptional reputation and commitment to superior service and knowledge.
I want to give you the same feeling of excitement we felt when we bought our home with Beverly-Hanks! I understand how important it is to have someone you trust on your side when buying or selling, and I’m committed to providing expert advice and maintaining honest communication throughout, and also after, the process. I have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to plumbing, electrical, and other aspects of construction, which makes me uniquely suited to provide the confidence that you are making the best sale or purchase possible.

Chaim was absolutely wonderful to work with. As a couple selling our first home, my wife and I had little experience with the process. Chaim was amazing to work with from start to finish and was available whenever we had questions about anything. He had a thorough understanding of not only the market and the price range for our house, but also the stressors that come with selling a home. Having an agent who is personable, easy to talk to and knowledgeable made this process so much easier to deal with and understand as first time home sellers. He did an excellent job of preparing documentation, answering questions and advertising our home in the short time frame we had to move. Because of his planning and marketing expertise, we were able to sell our home after just a day and a half on the market. Throughout the closing process, he kept us informed and up to date with everything going on and went above and beyond to make our lives as trouble free as possible. I can’t recommend Chaim enough if you are looking for a realtor in the Western North Carolina area.

Ask An Expert
Is there a best time of the year to buy a house?
When it comes to buying a home, there are pros and cons for each season. Generally, the best season to buy a home is in late summer or fall. There are still plenty of homes for sale, but without the intense competition found during spring. Sellers are also known for being a bit more flexible this time of the year. Zillow reports that the highest number of listings with at least one price reduction are found August–September. However, the deeper buyers venture into fall, the less choice is available. If you value choice, and you want more buyers competing for the home you are leaving, spring could be your best season. Ultimately, the best time to buy a home is when you’re financially ready to do so.
