Donette Moore- Douglass Real Estate Professional Agent in Downtown Asheville, 300 Executive Park Asheville NC 28801

team member since 2009

About Me

I’m a native to Asheville and have called Black Mountain home since 1982. I spend my free time with my three children who all still live close by. I have two dogs I call “Beauty and the Beast,” a 3.5 pound mutt and a 115 pound Mastiff. I love anything that gets me outdoors including gardening and yard work. I teach weight-lifting and cycle classes at the local YMCA weekly. I truly love everything Western North Carolina has to offer and would love to help you find the right home to meet your needs.

Experience

I was born and raised in Asheville, NC and am happy to call this area home. I began working in real estate in 2002 because I love meeting new people and being outdoors. After joining Beverly-Hanks in 2009, I became an expert in New Home Communities which was a natural fit with my family owning a drywall company and having relationships with local builders. We have built and renovated several homes giving me an eye for changes that can create new spaces and make an existing home more functional.

I have a passion for helping people find the perfect home or one that can be changed to become a home they will love. My specialty is residential and new home sales. My positive attitude, dedication, strong attention to detail, strong work ethic, honesty, and integrity are just a few of the qualifying qualities that allow me to better serve you through the process of buying or selling. As a former Broker-in-Charge, Top Producing Agent for Beverly-Hanks & Associates, and Top 100 Realtors multiple years, I am ready and able to help you with your real estate needs.

Testimonials

Donette was excellent to work with. She made what can often be a stressful endeavor nothing but smooth and easy. She truly had our best interest in mind. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Harvey, Swannanoa

Donette has been involved in my buying of one property and selling of two. She consistently goes above and beyond in making the transaction and all it involves in either case as easy as possible. I wouldn't consider using anyone else in Western North Carolina as my realtor. My only contact with the downtown office was through Donette.

Concetta Brown, Asheville, N.C.

some of the properties i buy are distressed and very difficult. moore and morris work hard to pull the hard buys through

david ingram

Donette was extremely professional and helpful with explaining all the procedures and documents involved with the sale. Signing of any documents was completed with Dot Loop, which made it very easy for me since I live in Raleigh. What I found most important that was extremely beneficial was the email that Donette provided me with whenever an offer was made. Her email summarized the terms of the offer, and most importantly she provided me with the net proceeds from the offer. Also, since my home was fully furnished, she was extremely helpful in finding buyers for my firmishings.

STAN RYNDOCK. BLACK MOUNTAIN

Diane Morris’ name was given to us through a trusted work colleague. We feel really blessed to have been connected with Diane. Diane is very warm and made us feel like family right away. She is highly knowledgeable about the area and the market. We felt we could trust and depend on her, and she proved that to be true. Diane went above and beyond with us throughout our home search process and made everything as easy as possible. We would highly recommend working with Diane Morris!

Amber Ratliff, Asheville, NC

Diane and Donette were very willing to help me with physical work since I had an injured hand, arm and shoulder. If they had not helped me work in the yard and help clean up after the renovations to the inside, I would never have been able to get it all completed in a timely manner and the house on the market. 4 days after putting the house on the market I had multiple offers and the house under contract!! Both Diane and Donette went above and beyond to help me get the property ready to sell. They realized that I needed help and did more than I expected. They made things much easier for me!!!! Diane and Donette should receive excellent plus on all the above! I have never seen two people work as hard as Diane and Donette did to make sure I got the house ready to sell! They walked me through every step and I appreciated all that they did more than they know!!!!!

Pamela Norton, Black Mountain NC

The team of Donette Moore and Diane Morris were fabulous! They are great listeners, responsed quickly to all of our requests and concerns, and marketed the house well. Having worked with 7+ realtors in the past, this team earns a 5 star rating! Consider me a very happy client of this awesome team!

Lynn Gilliland, Montreat, NC

Donette worked diligently with my wife and me for almost 6 months. She kept in constant communication with us regarding our search for a home. She was knowledgeable of every aspect of the process. Her performance was exemplary!

Jesse & Suzanne Wakefield (Raleigh, NC)

The best in the area, determined and a hard worker. Awesome effort.

The Medlock’s - Swannanoa, NC

We have not dealt with a lot of realtors in our life but we would recommend Diane to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in Buncombe county or any other county she would be able to work in. My wife and I both agree that Diane was incredibly patient with our wants and needs. She was always available and went to great efforts to drive us around and look and look for what we eventually found. The best realtor in the nation we would like to claim!

David Livingston

Ms. Morris was a fantastic realtor. She was very knowledgable about the Asheville area and provided a honest opinion throughout our search for a new home. She made the process of finding a new home as stress free as possible. We could not have asked for a better realtor. Thank you Diane.

Matt, Asheville

Donette Moore went above and beyond in both selling our home in North Asheville and finding us a new home in Weaverville. I cannot say enough about this team’s professionalism and attention to detail I cannot imagine using a different realtor.

Concetta Brown

Diane and Donnette both would take time out of their personal lives to make things possible for the successful and timely closing of our first home. Whether late at night, or while she was away on vacation, Diane always made herself not only available, but a willing advocate and orchestrater of anything that needed to be done during our process of buying a house. You can rely on Diane to represent you with a warm, kind front that automatically puts you in the favor of all parties you work with, but to also fight determinedly to ensure the best outcome and deal for you. She is FUN and very easy to work with. 10/10 loved our experience.

Emily Foreman, Hendersonville

I have known Donnette for a while and although I didn’t use her services previously, I only ever heard really good comments about her personally and professionally. Donnette went above and beyond for me to ensure this sale was completed without any delays. Donnette and Diane make a great team! While I never met Diane I was assured that she was available and was familiar with my property if needed. I would highly recommend Donnette and Diane’s team without hesitation.

Sharon Raines, Black Mountain N.C.

I would recommend Donette and Diane to anyone looking to biy a new home or to sell their present home. Donette knows the realty market in Hendersonville, Asheville, Weaverville, Black Mountain and points North, South, East and West. I have counted on her judgement in situations where I normally wouldn’t and have never been disappointed. She is amazing.

Concetta Brown, Asheville, N.C.

Diane Morris was great to work with. This is the 5th house that we have purchased so we know what a good realtor can do for us. She handled everything with promptness, knowledge, and grace - even the little glitches that inevitably happen when buying a house. We'd like to clone her so she could be sent out of town to sell our old house!

The Schroeder Family

We highly recommend our agent Diane Morris. We plan to use, and recommend her in the future.

Richard & Sheila Morris

A relative recommended Diane to me with the comment that she was very responsive. This was very important to me. I've dealt with agents in the past who have been difficult to get in touch with. Diane was amazing in this regard. She was super, super responsive. Diane was amazing, and Donette agreed to meet with us on a Sunday to show us a property when our schedule necessitated it. If you're looking for a team of agents in this area, you really can't go wrong with Diane and Donette. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and I always felt they were acting in our best interest. Diane even encouraged me to reach out to her after closing if we had any issues. We can't say enough great things about this team!

Merry Leigh Dameron, Swannanoa

Donette More represented both the seller and myself in a timely and professional manner. Donett totally understood my goal and objective with my purchase and assisted in every way. I would highly recommend Donett Moore as your real estate broker.

Don Robinson, Asheville, NC

Diane was wonderful to work with. We are currently selling our home in SC to downsize and have a realtor. There is no comparison as to the help that she gave us as to what we are experiencing here. We put 3 houses on the market at the same time and the 2 that Diane was helping us with have already sold. I am extremely happy with the service that we received from Diane. She was excellent to work with and I look forward to future endeavors. I would be more than happy to recommend her to others in the Asheville area.

Melissa Byrne

Diane was a fantastic throughout the entire sales process. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Paul E. Byrne - Greenville, South Carolina

Donette is a seasoned professional that works hard to prepared; be available, prompt, helpful, kind and courteous. She has the gift of helps! Donette is an advocate for her client. Donette is a major local resource to get things done. Simply put, she did an extraordinary job! A+++ 5 Stars out of 5. A gifted professional!

Phillip Hollis, Swannanoa

I have known Diane since high school. She was of course the first person my husband and I thought of when we began our search for a new home. She immediately began looking for the perfect place for us. She found it in a matter of days. Diane was very professional, considerate, punctual and extremely well organized. We are thrilled with our new home!

Cheryl Burleson

Diane Morris has keen attention to detail which makes her stand out in her field. She keeps her client updated and maintains a professional demeanor. I really appreciate her honest feedback in assisting us to make the right decision to fit our needs and budget. We highly recommend her and will use her in the future! Great job Beverly Hanks for hiring “Top Talent”.

Lisa Harwell Hendersonville, NC

Donette is an amazing person and realtor. She is sincere, efficient, conscientious, polite and friendly. If you train new agents, they would benefit from shadowing Donette.

R.K. Black Mountain

Diane Morris was absolutely superb at listening and patiently discovering our list of needs and wants, even as that list evolved during our search for our first home. Diane not only found us properties that fit our criteria, but she also quickly arranged to go see houses we found online. She was continually positive and worked hard to find homes for us to consider - and, she was genuinely excited about finding a house for us that would become our new home. This was our first home purchase, and Diane was able to answer all of our many questions, or she quickly went and found out what we wanted to know. She made this complicated, daunting process so much less so, and we knew we could completely trust her. In the end, we would highly recommend Diane to anyone searching to buy or wanting to sell real estate; we are confident that she would provide the same genuine service to any who secured her as their agent.

Trent & Kate Lunberry

Diane Morris was made to sell homes! She is positive, professional, and actually made our home search fun! Diane knows Asheville and the surrounding Western NC communities, and she is knowledgeable about current trends in the real estate market. She provided us with the tools and information we needed to start our search, and she remained patient, flexible and available throughout the entire process. I believe Diane Morris truly loves matching families with the right homes. I'd recommend her to anyone in search of their dream home.

Donna Riesen, Asheville, NC

Diane was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the sale of our family home. She worked well with our family, communicated all important information clearly and concisely. Diane was sensitive to the needs of all of our family members while maintaining a professional, businesslike manner with the buyers agent. Diane secured several offers and helped us close without any trouble. She coordinated all aspects of our sale and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Diane without reservation.

Alan Abernethy Summerville, SC

Diane worked hard to make this process go smoothly. She's patient, professional and a truly wonderful person. We highly recommend Diane and would happily work with her again!

Terry and Wendy, Asheville

Diane was always there for us and always answered our questions in a timely manner. She is so sweet, knowledgeable, and kind. She made our experience fun and easy. If you need a great realtor, she's the best! !

Dena Campbell

My husband and I consider ourselves the most fortunate of people to have had Diane Morris handle the purchase of our home in Fairview, NC. Diane conducts herself with the highest level of professionalism and at the same time shows warmth and genuine caring for our happiness. Diane responds promptly to any calls, questions, texts, and emails from us as well as our representatives in California. Her personal qualities of integrity, professionalism, courtesy, and responsiveness make her an outstanding person with whom to work.

Jeanne Olson and Robert Ducharme, Fairview

Diane was excellent. She was easy going, asked all the right questions and listened to our questions and concerns. She was also flexible with our schedule and was always ready with a suggestion or option we may have wanted to things consider. When all was said and done, we couldn't have asks for more.

Ben Barker, Velburg Germany

We enjoyed working with you and will be in touch for any future needs. Thank you

Shahriar Moshirsadri & Mary Melton 12 Onteora OKs Rd. Asheville, NC 28803

I contacted Darcy Wilson-Varney because she was listed on Trulia or Realtor.com as being the listing broker for a house I was interested in. She responded quickly with information, offered to provide more information, and went out and video'd the property with her phone to show me how it was situated on the road. I was impressed with her quick response and attention to my needs, and chose her as my agent. (I had earlier contacted a realtor from another company who someone local had recommended, but I did not receive the same kind of prompt attention and information from him, so I selected Darcy to be my realtor as I continued my search.) I'm delighted with how the purchasing process went. Darcy got me tons of information and videos of various properties, and represented my interests zealously in negotiations. She gave me guidance but did not try to force a decision on any of the (many) properties I looked at. Donette Moore also stepped up to the plate beautifully when Darcy was out of town. Both were willing to go the extra mile to get the job done - that's a rare quality these days, and I appreciate it! Darcy's knowledge of the area and experience in this kind of deal has made it so much easier for me. I would recommend Darcy and Donette highly to anyone in real estate in Asheville, and particularly to anyone out-of-town like myself who is doing this kind of purchase- it's a higher degree of difficulty, and Darcy and Donette really came through for me. They make a great team, and you would be lucky to have them represent you!

Linda Falcao, Raleigh, NC

What can I say......lets see.........ummm. Got it. Darcy is on my efficient, knowledgeable & wise adviser list. Thanks.

Bill Maddox Charlotte/Asheville NC

Donette Moore went far beyond the norm in listening to me and catering to my specific situation. She was both professional and empathetic and I am beyond grateful for her help in selling this property!

Rebecca Willard, Bradenton, FL

Donette has helped me buy and sell homes in the past and has done an outstanding job every time. I would never even consider going with someone else. This is the fourth home we have bought/sold with Donette and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor.

Nick Tucci, Asheville

Thank you Donette Moore for your patience and perseverance in finding the property we were looking for. You found the perfect match for our desires.

Patricia and Luis, Lake Mary, FL

Donette Moore was our realitor in selling my wife's cousin's house. The cousins had to be moved into an assisted care home leaving my wife to clear out the house and prepare it to be sold. A neighbor recommended Donette. Because we live in a town 75 miles away, we didn't have resources or contacts in Asheville to get the job done. Donette was a life saver. She helped in finding the people we needed to clear out and clean the house and then listed the house. The photographs and listing on the internet were fantastic and showed off the house to its best advantage. We have bought and sold many houses and worked with many realitors and Donette is the best. Her willingness to drive the 75 miles to get the paperwork done was very appreciated. My wife and I highly recommend Donette.

Allison Poirier, Hickory, NC

Working with Donette Moore was an absolute flawless process. Her knowledge of the area made my experience move quickly to select a home. She was always thoughtful to point out things you may not think of when showing you homes that you will really appreciate later when trying to make a decision. I would recommend Donette Moore to anyone looking for a home and would absolutely work with her again!!

Sandy Smith West Asheville

You are in good hands with these real estate professionals.

Anne Parrish. Downtown Asheville

We interviewed four agents, and Donnette Moore (Beverly-Hanks) was by far the most professional and best prepared. Donette handled every aspect of the sale for us since we reside out of state. She emailed regularly to give us updates regarding showings. Her professionalism and competence were very reassuring since we were unable to attend the closing in person.

P Martino, North Huntingdon, PA

We loved working with Donette. She was very determined and handled our situation with grace.

Shelby Marion, NC

Excellent performance. She was right on with every aspect of the sale. The house was listed and within 5 day was on contract

Bob & Marcia Yearout

L. Washington, Gateway Mountain

I would gladly work with Donette Moore again when looking to purchase or sell another property.

Dosia Smith, Black Mountain

Donette was not familiar with the specific area we were looking at but quickly got up to speed Your office was a random selection & Donette answered my query

Steve Simmons, Raleigh

Donnette went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find a property that fit our needs. Not knowing the area we depended heavily on her expertise to identify and secure the perfect place. Even though it took almost a year, she remained patient and constant. Great Job Donnette!

Candie Moore St Louis MO

A real pleasure to do business with her. The best experience we have ever had and she did an awesome job on all the sale and closing.

Charles Branch The Villages Florida.

I cannot thank Donette Moore enough for the professional, caring and efficient manner in which she handled the sale of my house. From beginning to end it was a confident, worry free experience with an amazing result. Donette is very honest, trustworthy and refreshing to work with. If the need ever arises, I would definitely want Donette to handle my real estate needs.

Gerri Watkins, Fletcher NC

Darcy was great!

Clint Emery

Darcy was very professional with everything about the sale of the property.

Randy Eaton. Florida

Donette is very understanding and patient. She was always willing to answer our questions and give us valued feedback.

P. Lusk

I would recommend Darcy to anyone I know that needed a real estate agent. She went above and beyond what was expected. I say this because, it was a difficult sell and took months to get the deal closed.

Mary McKenzie

Very professional!

Jesse mace weaverville

We dealt only with Donette. She was very personable, knowledgeable and her communication with us was excellent. Would recommend her to anyone selling or buying property or a home. It was a great experience(: thank you, Jim & Kathy Allen

Jim & Kathy Allen, Pence Springs Wha

I know that Donette Moore went above and beyond to make sure that we were her top priority while looking for a house. She is very knowledgeable of the market and area. She was very honest when she gave her opinion which I was thankful for. I felt very comfortable working with her and I knew she had me and my family in her best interest. She was not at all pushy or anxious to make a sale. She was very diligent on her paper work and knew what she could do to work numbers and work in other details in my favor. Communication was always easy- she returned calls, texts and emails promptly. I could not be any more pleased with her service. I highly recommend Donette Moore and would use her in the future to sell and buy real-estate without a doubt.

Kristina Miller

I cannot express how great Darcy is! She was always professional, honest, courteous, and communicated in a very timely manner.

Bree, Asheville

My family and I live out of state and ran into some difficulties with our home that was in NC. While it was on the market it was apparent, due to the difficulties, that we needed help with the sell. Fortunately, what alleviated the difficulties and worry was the knowledge, guidance, and patience provided by Donette Moore. She helped us with so many things. She always updated us on any details or changes pertinent to the sell. Donette was fully engaged from beginning to end, and for that we are extremely grateful. We enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who needs assistance selling or purchasing a home.

Matt Marlowe, Lynchburg, VA

This is my second purchase with Darcy Wilson Varney - she's the tops for the out-of-town buyer, with all the information she provides and prompt responses to questions about potential properties. Darcy has tremendous local knowledge, which is useful during and after the sale- I've been in touch with her over and over again about who to contact for various local services, and she always has various options to offer me. So pleasant and professional as well, always a delight to deal with, and very calm in the stressful moments of the transaction. :) I'm very satisfied and looking forward to our next deal together!

Linda Falcao, North Wales, PA

Donette was stellar!!! In all areas. She is a true professional with a great degree of knowledge of the area as well as patience needed. I can't say enough. I highly recommend her! She goes above and beyond at all times.

Rebecca, Charlotte,NC

Good Job and completely satisfied with Donette

Alice White, Candler, NC

My agents did a perfect job -They are very vigilant and professional in all aspects of selling my property

Rick Ferrell

My son and I looked at several houses with Donette Moore and she was extremely helpful in pointing our both the positives and the drawbacks of each house that we looked at. She is very helpful in analyzing how to make a house better and allows the buyer to proceed carefully. She was patient and really professional and thorough when we made an offer. I feel like she truly represented the buyer's best interest.

Betsy Ryherd

Donette is great and is very knowledgable in her job. I would refer her to all friends and family.

Jennifer mobley black mountain

Darcy was amazingly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout this home buying experience. For us, the entire process was incredibly stressful and frustrating. Darcy was the calm in the storm; the voice of experience; and, in the end, the tenacious advocate in bringing our transaction to a favorable close.

Richard Householder, Hendersonville, NC

We worked strictly with Donette Moore for the past several years and couldn't be happier with the great services, support, and patience she gave us.

In the end, we would highly recommend Diane to anyone searching to buy or wanting to sell real estate; we are confident that she would provide the same genuine service to any who secured her as their agent.

Trent & Kate Lunberry

Diane Morris was made to sell homes! She is positive, professional, and actually made our home search fun! Diane knows Asheville and the surrounding Western NC communities, and she is knowledgeable about current trends in the real estate market. She provided us with the tools and information we needed to start our search, and she remained patient, flexible and available throughout the entire process. I believe Diane Morris truly loves matching families with the right homes. I'd recommend her to anyone in search of their dream home.

Donna Riesen, Asheville, NC

Diane was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the sale of our family home. She worked well with our family, communicated all important information clearly and concisely. Diane was sensitive to the needs of all of our family members while maintaining a professional, businesslike manner with the buyers agent. Diane secured several offers and helped us close without any trouble. She coordinated all aspects of our sale and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Diane without reservation.

Alan Abernethy Summerville, SC

Diane worked hard to make this process go smoothly. She's patient, professional and a truly wonderful person. We highly recommend Diane and would happily work with her again!

Terry and Wendy, Asheville

Diane was always there for us and always answered our questions in a timely manner. She is so sweet, knowledgeable, and kind. She made our experience fun and easy. If you need a great realtor, she's the best! !

Dena Campbell

My husband and I consider ourselves the most fortunate of people to have had Diane Morris handle the purchase of our home in Fairview, NC. Diane conducts herself with the highest level of professionalism and at the same time shows warmth and genuine caring for our happiness. Diane responds promptly to any calls, questions, texts, and emails from us as well as our representatives in California. Her personal qualities of integrity, professionalism, courtesy, and responsiveness make her an outstanding person with whom to work.

Jeanne Olson and Robert Ducharme, Fairview

Diane was excellent. She was easy going, asked all the right questions and listened to our questions and concerns. She was also flexible with our schedule and was always ready with a suggestion or option we may have wanted to things consider. When all was said and done, we couldn't have asks for more.

Ben Barker, Velburg Germany

We enjoyed working with you and will be in touch for any future needs. Thank you

Shahriar Moshirsadri & Mary Melton 12 Onteora OKs Rd. Asheville, NC 28803

I contacted Darcy Wilson-Varney because she was listed on Trulia or Realtor.com as being the listing broker for a house I was interested in. She responded quickly with information, offered to provide more information, and went out and video'd the property with her phone to show me how it was situated on the road. I was impressed with her quick response and attention to my needs, and chose her as my agent. (I had earlier contacted a realtor from another company who someone local had recommended, but I did not receive the same kind of prompt attention and information from him, so I selected Darcy to be my realtor as I continued my search.) I'm delighted with how the purchasing process went. Darcy got me tons of information and videos of various properties, and represented my interests zealously in negotiations. She gave me guidance but did not try to force a decision on any of the (many) properties I looked at. Donette Moore also stepped up to the plate beautifully when Darcy was out of town. Both were willing to go the extra mile to get the job done - that's a rare quality these days, and I appreciate it! Darcy's knowledge of the area and experience in this kind of deal has made it so much easier for me. I would recommend Darcy and Donette highly to anyone in real estate in Asheville, and particularly to anyone out-of-town like myself who is doing this kind of purchase- it's a higher degree of difficulty, and Darcy and Donette really came through for me. They make a great team, and you would be lucky to have them represent you!

Linda Falcao, Raleigh, NC

What can I say......lets see.........ummm. Got it. Darcy is on my efficient, knowledgeable & wise adviser list. Thanks.

Bill Maddox Charlotte/Asheville NC

Donette Moore went far beyond the norm in listening to me and catering to my specific situation. She was both professional and empathetic and I am beyond grateful for her help in selling this property!

Rebecca Willard, Bradenton, FL

Donette has helped me buy and sell homes in the past and has done an outstanding job every time. I would never even consider going with someone else. This is the fourth home we have bought/sold with Donette and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a realtor.

Nick Tucci, Asheville

Thank you Donette Moore for your patience and perseverance in finding the property we were looking for. You found the perfect match for our desires.

Patricia and Luis, Lake Mary, FL

Donette Moore was our realitor in selling my wife's cousin's house. The cousins had to be moved into an assisted care home leaving my wife to clear out the house and prepare it to be sold. A neighbor recommended Donette. Because we live in a town 75 miles away, we didn't have resources or contacts in Asheville to get the job done. Donette was a life saver. She helped in finding the people we needed to clear out and clean the house and then listed the house. The photographs and listing on the internet were fantastic and showed off the house to its best advantage. We have bought and sold many houses and worked with many realitors and Donette is the best. Her willingness to drive the 75 miles to get the paperwork done was very appreciated. My wife and I highly recommend Donette.

Allison Poirier, Hickory, NC

Working with Donette Moore was an absolute flawless process. Her knowledge of the area made my experience move quickly to select a home. She was always thoughtful to point out things you may not think of when showing you homes that you will really appreciate later when trying to make a decision. I would recommend Donette Moore to anyone looking for a home and would absolutely work with her again!!

Sandy Smith West Asheville

You are in good hands with these real estate professionals.

Anne Parrish. Downtown Asheville

We interviewed four agents, and Donnette Moore (Beverly-Hanks) was by far the most professional and best prepared. Donette handled every aspect of the sale for us since we reside out of state. She emailed regularly to give us updates regarding showings. Her professionalism and competence were very reassuring since we were unable to attend the closing in person.

P Martino, North Huntingdon, PA

We loved working with Donette. She was very determined and handled our situation with grace.

Shelby Marion, NC

Excellent performance. She was right on with every aspect of the sale. The house was listed and within 5 day was on contract

I would gladly work with Donette Moore again when looking to purchase or sell another property.

Dosia Smith, Black Mountain

Donette was not familiar with the specific area we were looking at but quickly got up to speed Your office was a random selection & Donette answered my query

Steve Simmons, Raleigh

Donnette went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find a property that fit our needs. Not knowing the area we depended heavily on her expertise to identify and secure the perfect place. Even though it took almost a year, she remained patient and constant. Great Job Donnette!

Candie Moore St Louis MO

A real pleasure to do business with her. The best experience we have ever had and she did an awesome job on all the sale and closing.

Charles Branch The Villages Florida.

I cannot thank Donette Moore enough for the professional, caring and efficient manner in which she handled the sale of my house. From beginning to end it was a confident, worry free experience with an amazing result. Donette is very honest, trustworthy and refreshing to work with. If the need ever arises, I would definitely want Donette to handle my real estate needs.

Gerri Watkins, Fletcher NC

Darcy was great!

Clint Emery

Darcy was very professional with everything about the sale of the property.

Randy Eaton. Florida

Donette is very understanding and patient. She was always willing to answer our questions and give us valued feedback.

P. Lusk

I would recommend Darcy to anyone I know that needed a real estate agent. She went above and beyond what was expected. I say this because, it was a difficult sell and took months to get the deal closed.

Mary McKenzie

Very professional!

Jesse mace weaverville

We dealt only with Donette. She was very personable, knowledgeable and her communication with us was excellent. Would recommend her to anyone selling or buying property or a home. It was a great experience(: thank you, Jim & Kathy Allen

Jim & Kathy Allen, Pence Springs Wha

I know that Donette Moore went above and beyond to make sure that we were her top priority while looking for a house. She is very knowledgeable of the market and area. She was very honest when she gave her opinion which I was thankful for. I felt very comfortable working with her and I knew she had me and my family in her best interest. She was not at all pushy or anxious to make a sale. She was very diligent on her paper work and knew what she could do to work numbers and work in other details in my favor. Communication was always easy- she returned calls, texts and emails promptly. I could not be any more pleased with her service. I highly recommend Donette Moore and would use her in the future to sell and buy real-estate without a doubt.

Kristina Miller

I cannot express how great Darcy is! She was always professional, honest, courteous, and communicated in a very timely manner.

Bree, Asheville

My family and I live out of state and ran into some difficulties with our home that was in NC. While it was on the market it was apparent, due to the difficulties, that we needed help with the sell. Fortunately, what alleviated the difficulties and worry was the knowledge, guidance, and patience provided by Donette Moore. She helped us with so many things. She always updated us on any details or changes pertinent to the sell. Donette was fully engaged from beginning to end, and for that we are extremely grateful. We enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who needs assistance selling or purchasing a home.

Matt Marlowe, Lynchburg, VA

This is my second purchase with Darcy Wilson Varney - she's the tops for the out-of-town buyer, with all the information she provides and prompt responses to questions about potential properties. Darcy has tremendous local knowledge, which is useful during and after the sale- I've been in touch with her over and over again about who to contact for various local services, and she always has various options to offer me. So pleasant and professional as well, always a delight to deal with, and very calm in the stressful moments of the transaction. :) I'm very satisfied and looking forward to our next deal together!

Linda Falcao, North Wales, PA

Donette was stellar!!! In all areas. She is a true professional with a great degree of knowledge of the area as well as patience needed. I can't say enough. I highly recommend her! She goes above and beyond at all times.

Rebecca, Charlotte,NC

Good Job and completely satisfied with Donette

Alice White, Candler, NC

My agents did a perfect job -They are very vigilant and professional in all aspects of selling my property

Rick Ferrell

My son and I looked at several houses with Donette Moore and she was extremely helpful in pointing our both the positives and the drawbacks of each house that we looked at. She is very helpful in analyzing how to make a house better and allows the buyer to proceed carefully. She was patient and really professional and thorough when we made an offer. I feel like she truly represented the buyer's best interest.

Betsy Ryherd

Donette is great and is very knowledgable in her job. I would refer her to all friends and family.

Jennifer mobley black mountain

Darcy was amazingly helpful, patient, and supportive throughout this home buying experience. For us, the entire process was incredibly stressful and frustrating. Darcy was the calm in the storm; the voice of experience; and, in the end, the tenacious advocate in bringing our transaction to a favorable close.

Richard Householder, Hendersonville, NC

We worked strictly with Donette Moore for the past several years and couldn't be happier with the great services, support, and patience she gave us.

Judy and Don Owen, Livonia, Michigan

I highly recomend their services.

gary Conover, Leesburg, Fl.

Donette came in and exceeded all expectations. She did what she said she would do when she said she would do it. She know the area well and helped us with pricing and also negotiating our in deal. We will be using her in the future for all of our real estate endeavors. Great agent! Great team great job!

Jeff & Kelli Raines, Black Mountain NC

We live out of town and just walked into the office. Darcy just happened to be working in the office that day. What a great stroke of luck for us!!!! Wonderful, professional agents!

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.
