About Me

I fell in love with the mountains of Western North Carolina in the late 1990s after moving to Asheville from snowy New England, and I have never looked back. I am a graduate of the University of Vermont, where I earned a BA in Political Science and Environmental Studies while also playing varsity soccer. More importantly, this is where I met my wife Rachael, to whom I have been married since 1992. Rachael, a classroom teacher for more than 20 years, and I have two boys who attended both private and public schools in Asheville. Both sons now attend Ole Miss in Oxford, MS.

Experience

Give me the opportunity to earn your trust. It is my goal and pleasure to make the process of buying or selling your home as stress free and fun as possible.

My passion for customer service led me to become a full-time REALTORⓇ at Beverly-Hanks. After college, my wife and I owned a wings and ribs restaurant for over six years. Through that business, I not only became a connoisseur of wings, but became obsessed with providing the absolute best customer first experience to each and every one of my clients. I brought that same spirit to sales and executive sales management positions at several manufacturing companies in Asheville. And now I bring that passion to each and every home buyer and seller I work with.

If you are looking for a REALTORⓇ who will work tirelessly for you, or you just want to find out where you can get the best wings in Asheville, give me a call. It would be my honor to help you with your real estate needs.

Testimonials

As in my previous comments, Dave is an outstanding agent, and were I to need an agent in the future, Dave would be my only choice. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone thinking of selling his property!

David Ide is a gem. We had not had luck with realtors. Nobody ever called us back, and we missed out on several showings because of it. My frustrations were talked about at work, and a co-worker told me that I should call David. I did, and then the very next day we were out looking at a house. He was always there when we needed him, and it always felt like he would drop everything to get us to a showing before a home sold on us. We dragged him outside of his usual stomping grounds to look at homes in Marion, Rutherfordton, Morganton and Nebo. He was always the first to say "let's go look at it" when I'd email a link to him, or show interest in one that he sent us. When things didn't end up being what we thought, I'd apologize profusely, and he'd tell me to stop. He never seemed bothered. I would highly recommend David. Aside of being extremely polite and professional, he's also an overall great guy.

David Ide provided superior service to us in our remote search for a home in Asheville from out of state. He was able to preview homes for us to save us time plus prevent unnecessary sudden trips to town. Our overall plans changed mid-stream, and he pivoted immediately. He kept our focus on the key elements we were seeking, and helped us hone in on what eventually became our house. His tremendous knowledge of local experts kept the process moving and helped our negotiations. We couldn’t have done it without him!

David went above and beyond to help me manage the sale during a difficult transition. Aside from helping me negotiate a great sale price, David was there at every step of the way to help me prepare for the sale while I was out of state, and then from the house itself once I arrived in Weaverville. Scheduling repairs, finding a consignment shop to offload furniture, helping bring boxes to Goodwill: without David I'm not sure the sale would have been possible. Thank you!

Having to sell a home of a dear relative was a gargantuan task. David came in, gave instruction, and even helped us get it all together. Not only did we have the house to sell but shutting down a loved one's life was hard. David offered everything we needed to get the job done. The marketing plan and photos were great. While the area of our home was a very desirable neighborhood, great marketing is important. David presented a comprehensive marketing plan and executed it as well. I needed resources and help with household goods, moving, and repairs. He was able to offer resources for that too. in less than three weeks, the house was photographed, marketed, and sold! He could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

From start to finish it was a seamless experience due to David. The buying of our property at Biltmore Park and the sale of our property in Brevard. Could not have had a better person representing us. David happened to be at the office the day we stopped by. Took the time to really get to know us and our needs. Could not have asked for a better result due to his diligence. This was a quality experience due to David. He was the best broker we have ever dealt with.

As a friend I have known Dave Ide for several years. Because of his great character and positive demeanor, my sister and I chose Dave to sell our Mother's home. This was my first experience of selling a property. Dave explained everything thoroughly and was super patient with our often repetitive questions. Dave was also very accessible with prompt replies to texts, emails, and phone calls. Dave was absolutely FANASTIC!! As sisters often do, we did not always agree, but Dave was super patient, informative and always followed our wishes. As a former teacher I would give Dave an A+ rating!

David is extremely knowledgeable about Asheville and surrounding area which was a great plus for us. He is very pleasant and easy to work with, he always has a smile on his face. He is very punctual and gave us personalized house tours with detailed information printed out. He also helped us in weighing the pros and cons of each house. He understood our needs and requirements pretty well. He answered all our questions without any hesitation. And when we found "the house", he made sure to stay on top of things and took care of all the paper work. He was able to arrange house inspectors and complete all the necessary actions in a timely manner (even during a pandemic). He always kept us informed and followed up regularly. He made our FIRST house "hunting to buying" journey very exiting and memorial. We would love to work with David in the future, he is very trustworthy and reliable.

I contacted two real estate agents. Both were friendly and professional, but David Ide outshone the other by far. He knew EVERYTHING about the property and sent me accurate and detailed information, including floor plans, measurements, pictures (beyond what the website showed). He was endlessly patient with my one million questions. My friends all told me they had never heard of a real estate agent that good. All this was especially important since I bought my Asheville home sight unseen, while in Texas. He is the best in his profession, I'm sure. David sent all documents promptly, spent hours on the phone with me going over everything, did a Facetime walk around my new neighborhood, and took steps to ensure that I was wiring my purchase funds to a legitimate account, with no danger of fraud. I felt totally secure working with him. David was here at my parking area waiting for me when I arrived after my three-day drive from Texas. My car was packed full -- every single inch occupied. I had two cats, and one was 19 pounds. David helped me empty my car, carried my heavy kitty inside for me, and had flowers and a card waiting on my snack bar. I was truly overwhelmed by his friendly welcome. I dropped in to pick up some papers David had left me. Everyone was welcoming and professional. My experience could not have been better. I hope your company values David Ide; he is the finest. David did many things for me way beyond what was required. I felt truly valued.

He got my son a full year pass to the bolt more estate and even got myself a glass blowing class even after I just mentioned it once! He was always calm and collective even when I was worried about situations which kept me extremely confident in him. He was very calm with taking us to multiple houses and only gave his feedback when it was necessary. He never pushed anything on me. I was 5 hours away while the house was closing and felt extremely comfortable leaving everything to David to get taken care of! He always explained everything in detail so I could understand it and would also explain it to my son as well. I have dealt with many real estate agents and no one was half the person David was. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did for me and my family!

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.
