About Me

Meet Deanna Holcombe

I believe "It's Not Just About Homes....It's about YOU!"

As a real estate licensee since 1978, my affinity for the relocation customer or client was a natural evolution due to my seventeen personal moves as an Army wife in the early 70's. I know that a move is not just about a home..........it's about family, pets, gardens........and so much more.......it's about real life.

I understand the emotional and logistical challenges involved in relocating and I provide you the necessary assistance with the myriad of details, including financing, temporary lodging, move-in arrangements and community and school information.

A Graduate of the Realtor Intitute of North Carolina(G.R.I.), I am also an Accredited Buyers Agent (A.B.A.), and have received extensive training in Relocation Services. I have a degree in Business Management, Residential Construction Certified (R.C.C.), Certified New Home Specialist. (C.N.H.S.)

Through 33 many years in the real estate business, 30 of them in Asheville, my contacts and experience in the community will benefit you above and beyond the sale of your home or finding just the right property. My degree in business management provides the perfect combination of business expertise with real estate experience, and it's all delivered with a "personal touch."

My efforts have brought families and individuals to the Asheville Area from around the United States and Europe. I thrive on introducing people to the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.

I chose Deanna not BH. I chose her because I had worked with her as a home inspector for years and I knew she had integrity and would put forth real effort and be responsive. I hadnt seen her or spoke with her in more than 10 years but when it came time to sell a home of mine I thought of her and her knowledge and work ethic. She's one of the best. That's why I still considered her after 20 years since we last spoke or worked together.

Russell Buchanan Biltmore Lake NC

Deanna and I have worked together since the late 70's. She has helped me with finding many properties that I have purchased or sold. She has dealt with other realtors, banks, handyperson, sellers and other issues that have some up. She calls me to keep me informed concerning each step. I trust her, because of professional attitude and her dedication to her daily commitment to her sellers and buyers. Cyndi

Deanna was great!

Pamela Harrison-Woodrich, Asheville

Deanna is an expert and a committed professional realtor. She helped us when we purchased our north Asheville home and we knew we wanted her help with the sale. We completed an extensive remodel prior to the sale. Deanna connected me to a colorist as I thought through paint color and continuity through the house. She made excellent recommendations for the kitchen remodel, which came off without a hitch. She provided us with top flight marketing as we geared up for sale. All along the way, Deanna demonstrated her years of experience in the north Asheville market, always professional and low key. We ultimately took almost all of her recommendations and the results spoke for themselves. The house was under contract in 48 hours and broke through the neighborhood price ceiling. In our opinion, Deanna Holcombe is the best realtor in Asheville. We recommend her unreservedly for either purchase or sale of Asheville homes.

Valerie Garrett and Ken Cassell, San Francisco, California

Thank you Deanna for helping us find our new home!

Karol & John

Deanna is amazing at what she does. She was honest with us about our price point and gave us feedback often. She helped us stage our house for photos and showings so it would be appealing to potential buyers. She hosted open houses... everything it took to sell the property. She is phenomenal.

Andrea C. Asheville NC

We were looking at a home online one evening and clicked for more information and she called us a few minutes later. Although we did not purchase that home, Deanna patiently showed us many more until we found the one that was perfect for us. Deanna guided us through the process of buying it with her knowledge and experience. She was excellent during the inspection and price negotiation. She provided us with names of skilled workmen to do repairs that were needed. We feel that Deanna is someone we will continue to count as a friend.

Ed and Jean Krause Pinebrook Farms.

Deanna has helped me with several homes that I have purchased and sold in the past. I am very help to know her and call her a friend as we have worked together for many years .

Cyndi lampros candler nc

She was patient and understanding at my hesitation to become a first time homeowner

David Elliston, Asheville

Deanna has now become a friend to my husband and me! Everything about both the purchase and sale with Deanna went very smoothly. Thank you.

Vicki Overbay, 203 Rough Point Court, Asheville, North Carolina

We just happened to have been assigned to Deanna Holcombe when we called about a townhome in the county. We are so glad to have found her. In the course of 3 weeks, she was patient enough to show us probably 15-20 properties. She was always informative, yet not pushy; as well as insightful about the areas around Asheville and the communities. She never seemed annoyed when we were so undecided, but because she understood what we wanted, she gently guided us in the right direction. She always communicated and responded to our questions in a prompt manner. Our kudos to this sweet, helpful woman with a great sense of humor. We became her friend, not just her clients.

Jean and Allen - Weaverville, NC

Deanna was excellent in every phase of the process and very patient as we went through the discovery phase through a decision phase and to the closing.

David Arnold, Atlanta, Ga.

Deanna did a wonderful job. She has been very patient and responsive working with us. She looked after my best interest. Deanna is a real pro, and I would heartily recommend her.

Terry Dugan, Lake Norman, NC

She has a good sense of humor which is very important t me !

sigrid buss

Deanna is very knowledgeable about the local market and was able to facilitate meeting our needs inside and outside the transaction itself. She is friendly and flexible, giving us details that helped us make decisions. Closing was seamless and easy, thanks to Deanna's efforts.

Geoff Imboden, Atlanta, GA

She was always focused on our desires and needs, and used a great deal of imagination in originally finding us this house, and now in selling it. She was absolutely indefatigable in looking for buyers. We would unhesitatingly recommend her to others. We cant imagine anyone better in all these respects. She was the best in all four of our previous house sales and purchases. Deanna did a great job in both our purchase and ten years later, in the sale of this property, and we are extremely happy with and appreciative of her performance. She has become our friend!

Robert I. Louttit, Arden, NC

Having worked with Deanna Holcombe before I trusted her. I knew that I might be out of state before the property closed and needed someone I could trust to take care of things in North Carolina for me. She was wonderful! I had a cash offer within a week with a 30 day escrow. Deanna allowed me to be able to move out of state before the closing as she handled the issues/fixes that needed to be made. She made the whole process seamless. Thank you Deanna!

J. Miles

I enjoyed Deanna personality a very warm person , great since f humor and easy to communicate withw. She had a very good attention to detail. Didnt feel she was aggressive enough in helping find a place. Once it was found she was great in suggesting things that would be good for resale. We found that she had our best interest at heart, and was really looking out for us.

Wilma J Withem. 41 Loftin St. creekside Village weaverville NC.

Deanna Holcomb's knowledge of the our area and the market environment plus her tactful negotiations with the eventual buyer were invaluable assets during the selling process.

Ted Dills, Hendersonville, N.C.

Deanna Holcomb was the only realtor that kept in contact with me through a longer than expected renovation period before I was ready to list my property. She kept checking in and letting me know she was interested in listing my property. Her interest, knowledge, and sales reputation was what helped me choose her as my realtor. I was an out of town seller and Deanna made the handling of paperwork and communication very seamless. She also assisted me in locating area handymen for a couple of last minute repairs. This was a lifesaver and kept the sales process moving forward. I would definitely recommend Deanna for all your realty needs.

B. Arnold, Virginia

I trusted her advice during the whole purchase process. Deanna saved me thousands of dollars on this home purchase. She knew everything about the kind of house I wanted in the areas north and south of Asheville. She helped me to quickly identify the top candidate houses i was interested in.

S Flynn, Weaverville

Deanna always had our best interest at heart. She is not only a professional but she is a friend. She has gone above and beyond for us. We feel so fortunate to have had her on our side. She is exceptional! And we love her!!! Perry is also top notch! He is a straight up, honest guy who kept his word regarding our loan. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Sharon Jones, Weaverville, NC

Deanna did a great job. We would not hesitate to recommend her.

Bil and Janet Brown, Shamong, New Jersey

A very understanding person who dealt wonderfully with unusual circumstances. I would highly recommend Deanna to others. Living in California and selling property in No. Carolina could cause situations where I may have had to travel back to the condo. This was not necessary, thanks to Deanna's expertize.

MG Neisingh Santa Rosa, CA

We met someone by happenstance who knew Deanna and who referred us to her. We had no previous knowledge of any agents in the area. Deanna met with us, listened to our needs, and as our criteria changed, she was able to point us in the right direction, gave wonderful suggestions, and made the whole process as easy as possible. Some of the survey questions were not really applicable to our situation. However, we would definitely recommend Deanna.

Beth Loeb, Durham, NC

Thank you for everything! I love my new home. It was completely worth the wait!

Megan

Our property was not an easy sell but our realtor, Deanna Holcombe, was up for the challenge. She worked diligently to sell our property. She thought of creative strategies and posted on different websites. She communicated with us on a regular basis about what she was doing to sell our home. Once we had an offer she drove us around for weeks to help us find the perfect new home. The closing process went smoothly thanks to Deanna's preparations and her clear instructions on what I needed to do to be prepared. I would recommend Deanna to anyone who is trying to buy or sell a home. She is amazing! <3

Andrea Coon, Asheville NC

I was an out of state seller and wanted to select a broker that was familiar with the local market and customs, also someone I felt comfortable working with and would be able to provide the necessary support for an out of state seller I would highly recommend Deanna as a seller or buyer agent. I am an out of state seller and her knowledge of the local market was invaluable in marketing my property. Her professional expertise gave me confidence as we went through the listing to closing process. She kept me informed through every step of the sale and I always felt she was looking out for my best interest, giving excellent suggestion to facilitate the sale. I respected her honesty and integrity in working with me as well as with other agents. Deanna went above and beyond to assist me in selling this property as I was not in the area and she had to coordinate many projects to make for a successful closing for myself, the seller as well as the buyer. Selling or buying real estate can be stressful and can have some bumps along the way but Deanna was able to direct the process in an professional manner that resulted in a satisfied and happy buyer and seller. A great agent, I have bought and sold many properties over the years and I would have to say Deanna was one of the best agents I have had the privilege to work with, would recommend Deanna to anyone , seller or buyer, that is looking for a top real estate agent and the support of the Beverly Hanks team you just can't go wrong, Asheville is fortunate to this outstanding real estate team. What more can I say, excellent experience

Ken Eyer, Florida

Deanna was the right mix of personal and professional. It was a pleasure working with her and I now consider her a friend.

Kim Hopson, Wevaerville

Deanna went way beyond for me and my Dad. She was a real pleasure to work with. I can't think of anyone that has more knowledge or patience when it comes to dealing with clients and their properties. I highly recommend her. Deanna is more than your agent, she is your friend!

David Almquist Asheville, NC

Deanna is a knowledgeable, trustworthy and patient Realtor. We were buying property having recently moved here from another state, and there were many differences buying in North Carolina versus our former state. Deanna always took extra time helping us to understand what we were doing and never tired of explaining what was happening every step of the way. We are also very picky buyers and again, Deanna listened carefully to our list of "must-haves," and helped us sort through the multitude of listed properties until we found what we wanted. Other Realtors before Deanna would drift in and out of our search for the ideal property, but would fade away when we wanted extra time to consider our commitment to a less-than-ideal listing. Deanna stayed with us and practically became part of the family. We would strongly endorse her for anyone looking for a Realtor who will listen and make a truly genuine effort to help you find exactly what you are looking for.

J. Suttles, Weaverville, NC

Unlike prior experiences, Deanna Holcombe seemed interested in figuring out what I really needed, particularly when I couldn't figure it out! I was leaning toward older properties, and she said, "Let's look at this new construction!" It was exactly what I needed, and I never would have figured that out on my own. My new home meets my needs perfectly and I believe that Deanna kept my interests at the forefront of the search. I am very pleased!"

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.
