Gaia Goldman

We will happily recommend Gaia to anyone we know who is moving to the area. She provided the best moving and home purchase experience we have ever encountered. Gaia went above and beyond and every single aspect of our home search, including our decision to move to Asheville, and helping us to understand the housing market, different areas of the county, and what would best suit our needs. She was always available regardless of the time of day or day of week, returning our text messages or phone calls immediately in every case, we could not be happier in the home she found for us, or in our appreciation of Gaia Goldman. Thank you to Gaia for everything she did for us and is continuing to do for us even though we are weeks past closing date. She has made our move across country so much easier than we could've imagined. Thank you, Gaia!

I have never seen a marketing effort and marketing materials that could top that of Gaia's. The house had multiple showings the first and second days and went under contract on day 2. How's that for maerketing!!

We invited several realtors to visit our property for remodeling advice. Gai Goldman took the most initiative, and was by far the most willing to partner with us. She met with us several times - before AND after her initial marketing presentation - to help us remodel and sell the house. Gai was always available and responsive, and we relied heavily on her professional advice throughout the process.

We knew Gaia was expert on Biltmore Park! Pure gold! We would go to her again for future sales and highly recommend her to all we know! Can't say enough about her great communication and getting us the price we wanted. Gaia went above and beyond any realtor we ever had in the past and we've bought/sold 15 homes in the last 40 years! Way beyond our expectations! Top notch in every aspect! Many thanks!

Gaia was the most hard-working and knowlegeable broker we have ever dealt with. We were from out-of-town and she made the transaction seamless despite us not being local. Gaia went above and beyond to make the transaction happen. She would be the only broker I would use in the future.

Working with Gaia to find our first home in Asheville could not have been a better or easier experience. She is easy to work with, knowledgeable of all the areas/submarkets and is so well versed in the homebuying process that it could not have been smoother from start to finish because of her. She knew before we did where would be the perfect location for us, but showed us other options to make sure we were making the most informed decision. Her expertise, thoughtfulness and care with her work made it such a pleasant experience especially considering how tight the inventory is here! We have already recommended her to others and look forward to other opportunities where we can work with her again in the future!

We had met Gaia Goldman at an open house several years ago and made a decision at that time to hire her when we decided to sell. She did a great job helping my husband's sister buy her house just over a year ago and was great to work with when we listed our home. We enjoyed working with both Gaia and Damon throughout the whole process of listing and selling our home. Both were very professional and knowledgeable about the area and market.

When it was time to sell our house, we got in touch with Gaia. We knew she would be wonderful because she had worked with us to buy the house when we moved to Asheville. From the start, Gaia was very clear about how to sell a house and how we should proceed to get everything ready for the sale. She answered our many questions and guided us through the entire process. The marketing plan for promoting the house was incredible. First, she brought in a great photographer who took beautiful photos, and from those, she created brochures, mailings, and online listings. When the time came for the listing to go live, Gaia suggested we take our dogs and get away for a few days. It was a good plan, because there were over 30 showings in 3 days! We ended up with 8 offers, all above asking price. We were thrilled with the outcome, and Gaia continued to guide us through the offer and contract process, all the way through closing. Gaia is wonderful, we absolutely recommend her!

Understood immediately when talking with Gaia that we had made the right choice. Professional yet warm, realistic recommendations, fast follow-up and follow-through reinforced the decision to place our property in her hands. Gaia and team exceeded expectations at every turn. Wouldn’t consider using anyone else! Gaia and team took great care in marketing our property. The expedited turnaround with zero compromise in quality was a pleasant surprise! Timing was critical, and Gaia made the most of the short time frame available to take advantage of the fast-moving market. She and her team were readily available and anticipated all of our needs. We were absolutely satisfied with our working relationship - their expertise was invaluable. Gaia was a balanced package of personal care and professional competence - exactly what sellers require. She exceeded all of our expectations! Gaia’s team provided attention to detail and spot-on service that made all the difference for inexperienced sellers like us. With their reasonable recommendations and finishing touches, we were confident that our property was showing at its absolute best to every potential buyer. Placing our property in Gaia’s hands allowed us to focus forward in the direction of our relocation. We would recommend her most enthusiastically!

Our experience with Gaia Goldman was amazing. She seemed to remember everything we said without even writing it down (at least in our presence). This is something I would never be able to achieve! Since we live out-of-town currently, she was most helpful in meeting with contractors and the inspector. This is not something we expected. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Asheville area!

When we started to consider moving to Asheville, we found Gaia on a search and found her lifestyle and experience to match our own. She met us the day after we contacted her to understand our needs and goals. She was very helpful to affirm our decision to make the move. From there, she was extremely helpful and patient every step of the way as we planned our move and found a home to purchase. She was always available and measured even during a very fast offer-contract-close period. We'll definitely work with Gaia and team again.

Gaia was recommended to me by my local friend and realtor - she looked into and talked to many realtors in Asheville and deemed Gaia as the best fit for me as well as having an immense amount of experience in the area.

Once I chose the house, everything fell into place, having much to do with her deftness in handling the process. After closing, she has continued to be extremely helpful.

Gaia is the finest realtor I have ever met. She combined an immense knowledge regarding the real estate market in general with an expertise of all the communities in the Asheville area to help guide a buyer to the right geographical area. She then listens carefully to what features are important to the buyers and helps to find properties and homes that satisfy those “wish list” items. She also will point out any positive features or concerning features a particular home has and helps a buyer decide whether a particular home is the right fit. Every step of the way Gaia has such a depth of knowledge and capacity to clearly explain what to anticipate that the stress of home buying is minimized. In fact, with the expertise and advocacy of her clients, the process was actually fun. Gaia is thorough, compassionate and is a master of her craft. We will absolutely be looking to work with her in the future should the need arise.

My husband and I were first time home buyers purchasing a home from out of state. I cannot imagine having done so without Gaia's help. We were able to communicate with Gaia over the phone before and after our trip to Asheville and ended up choosing a house on our first weekend looking thanks to Gaia's research and preparation. Gaia was critical to the process from then on. She educated us throughout the entire process, attended the inspection, met with the builder, offered to stop by the house until we moved in, and continued to go above and beyond while we were out of state. Now that we are settled and life has calmed since the move, I still think of our experience with Gaia as an unbeatable one. I look forward to working with her in the future for any of our real estate needs!

We had some difficulty with our seller taking her time making decisions and Gaia was very good about saying on top of the contracts and changes that needed to be made. We really appreciate what Gaia did for us. We traveled to this area earlier in the year to solidify our decision to relocate. We weren't in a position to make an offer on a home at that time because we hadn't put our existing home on the market yet. Gaia and her husband took time that week to show us properties that met our needs so we'd have an idea of what to expect when we were ready to buy. She continued to keep in touch with us and send us listings for months after this. She was always available to answer questions prior to our move and after. She also went out of her way to help us move into our storage facility because we couldn't do it from out of state. She definitely did things above and beyond what some people expect agents to do.

We wanted someone with a solid marketing plan and the track record to prove it. During our initial meeting, Gaia detailed for us her plan and during the entire process, stuck to the plan and it worked just as she said it would. In retrospect, it was a great experience. Gaia also taught us about the psychology of both the seller and the buyer. This was totally new to my wife and me. Each party has different expectations and needs during the sales process and when the broker understands this, everyone is happy and walks away feeling good about their decisions. Selling and buying a new home is certainly not like buying a can of beans at the grocery store. It is serious business and Gaia understands every aspect of the process.

In less than a year, we will have moved from the house we thought was ideal to a home we know is. Gaia listened to everything we loved about the old house, and helped us see what it's short comings were. When it sold much more quickly than expected, Gaia helped us get in to a rental while we looked for that next dream home. She has a team that work with her that is second to none.

Thinking about moving to an area of the country we had only visited twice on vacation in the past, without any friends or family here, was something that came with some anxiety and stress. But our experience with Gaia Goldman and everyone in the South Asheville office truly made us feel that we were coming to a place where people were friendly and we were very welcome. Gaia was/is patient and wonderful, and her sense of humor was a great fit for our personalities. Gaia took the time to understand us as people. She took the time to show us a number of properties and quickly learned exactly what we were looking for in a new home. She helped our move from the Midwest to the Asheville area go very smoothly and minimized stress. We felt like we could always ask her questions and get responses in a timely manner. When it came to securing a mortgage, Eric Clonch was terrific to deal with. This was our first experience applying for a mortgage in some 30 years, and times and procedures have changed drastically. He minimized our anxiety and, like Gaia, made us Midwesterners feel welcome in Asheville.

I met Gaia over three years ago. She was listening and noting my concerns before I even knew I'd list my house. Each appropriate opportunity, she'd inquire and make recommendations without ever being pushy. Her no pressure and educational approach, made the listing selection easy. My house had unique value, which Gaia captured and marketed like nobodies business. My mom who'd been asking me to move closer to her forever, saw the pictures and said "Are you sure you want to leave?" My wife and I are not the easiest to deal with. Gaia took the time to get to know us as people, not clients or customers. She is the only agent I will consider in the Asheville area.

Gaia Goldman came to me highly recommended. We were planning a NC Vacation and only had one day in Asheville. Gaia was accommodating to our schedule and met us for breakfast before checking out a couple of neighborhoods to get a feel for what we might like. After a short time together, I felt extremely comfortable working with Gaia with respect to purchasing an Asheville property. Even though we weren't committed to moving or relocating, (just checking it out), Gaia was most helpful especially in finding us a neighborhood where we would be happy living. After months of back back and forth and many many emails and texts, we finally decided to move forward on a purchase. This is where Gaia shined. All negotiations and even the closing was done remotely. Gaia stepped up and made this a painless and exciting experience. Gaia was our eyes and ears on the ground, coordinating the inspection, deliveries, closing and even a handy man to get the condo ready for our arrival. I am extremely grateful for Gaia's help all through the process. We would most highly recommend Gaia Goldman.

Gaia was extremely knowledgable and helpful during the house hunting experience. She was professional and knew exactly what we wanted. She did not hide anything or make me feel like I was unaware of what was happening or gong to happen. I will recommend Gaia to anyone I meet that is buying or selling a home. Gaia made this a positive experience. She was a pleasure to work with. The paperwork aspect was incredibly organized and professional. Without her this would have been a nightmare. I have never experienced such amazing and professional customer service. Eric clonch and his team were timely, thorough, and courteous during the money lending and legal process.

Gaia went above and beyond the call of duty to help me find and purchase a house. When my first contract fell through, she encouraged me to continue looking, even though I was ready to walk away. She helped me to find a wonderful house, and when we needed paperwork from surveyors and the city, Gaia personally traveled to the appropriate offices and made sure that we had everything we needed to close. Her positive attitude and professionalism were indispensable and I couldn't have done it without her.

I was a pleasure to work with Gaia, she is very friendly and easy to connect with on every level. Gaia always made me feel as though I was the only client she had, I always felt that any questions I had were important and if she did not have the answer she contacted other sources and got back with me as soon as she had the answers I needed.

From the first day of interview when Gaia sat down with my husband and me to learn what was most important to us in finding a home to the day of closing, I was continually impressed by Gaia's professionalism. I feel so fortunate to have had not only a knowledgable and experienced realtor, but one whom I connected with on the level of a true friend. Gaia's personal gifts and talents, her genuine warmth, compassion, kindness, and understanding (just to name a few), her outstanding listening skills, caring heart, and genuine concern for our needs at every juncture made our experience of buying our home not only a true joy, but a true gift!

Several people recommended Gaia to us, and that was the main reason we chose her. Gaia was very helpful in leading us through the home buying process. She was patient and supportive while we searched for the right house over many months. Then, when we found the right property, she was quick to get our offer in and to keep the process moving. She answered our questions and her use of the dotloop system for contracts made it easy for things to move along. She connected us with reliable professionals for the inspection and closing. Overall the process was incredibly smooth and we're thrilled to be a part of the Asheville community.

I developed a friendship with Gaia through the Rotary Club of Asheville South and have been very impressed with her involvement in the local community. The marketing material was very well put together. The home photographer Gaia recommended was excellent. Pre-listing marketing was effective and led to 3 offers being received within the first week of going live. I would highly recommend Gaia as a listing agent. She did a top-notch job for us!

Gaia Goldman provided the best real estate experience we've ever had, by far! Highly efficient, knew how to price competitively for quick sale, got the results we were after (in under 2 weeks!) She handled challenges with the other party from a calm, centered, non-emotional perspective; whereas many agents (including the buyer's agent in this transaction) may get unnecessarily aggressive. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their agent - she is a rock-star!

Gaia quickly picked up on the details and ideas that were important to us, and-- especially as first time home buyers-- did an amazing job in giving us ALL of the information that allowed us to make our decision. She was incredibly professional, and yet still gave us all of her warmth and compassion to help us feel as supported and empowered as possible. Gaia has the perfect combination of professionalism, warmth, and empowerment-- we are so grateful to have had her support in buying our first home!

Gaia Goldman was the broker for two other family members when she was in Florida. They were both very happy with her services. For us, there was no need to look for anyone else. Gaia was very patient, attentive, and always cheerful during what ended up being a two year on & off home search. When we finally found the right home, she stepped right in and made us feel everything was taken care of during the entire purchase process. Our questions were quickly answered, and her other communications were timely and accurate. As out of town buyers, this helped keep stress to a minimum. I would highly recommend Gaia to anyone.

From conversation with Gaia at the open house we attended we just knew she was the right choice for us. Our first call to her was to view a home and she was so helpful and knowledgeable AND understanding. We had our house listed with another agency and when their time had expired we knew that the only choice for us when it came to relisting was Gaia.

My wife and I have bought and sold many houses. Gaia is the best real estate agent with whom we have ever worked. She was extremely helpful to us in every aspect of our search and purchase of a house in the Asheville area. Through the process, we acquired a lovely home at a reasonable price and made a new friend to boot!!! If you are looking for an agent who knows the Asheville area, listens to you, executes promptly and professionally and is fun to be with, then Gaia is the agent for you!!!!

The whole experience working with Beverly Hanks was pleasant and welcoming from the beginning. We were first time homebuyers, and we didn't understand the first thing about buying a home. Together with Beverly Hanks and Gaia Goldman we were able to find the right home for us to grow our family and make new memories. Gaia Goldman is someone who we could trust in all areas of this process. We look forward to working with Gaia Goldman in the future for all of our real estate needs. If you're unsure where to start in the homebuying process, start with Gaia Goldman at Beverly Hanks. This girl knows what she's doing! Gaia has a wonderful balance about her in spirit mind and business. Thank you to Gaia Goldman and the team for helping us get through this process as calmly as possible.

Gaia presented and marketed my home very well. Her expertise in knowing how important the computer is in finding buyers was quite evident in the pictures, layouts and comments she publicized on the MLS. Gaia also was a good negotiator and finalized offers and contracts quickly. I would strongly recommend Gaia Goldman in the sale of a home.
