Jared Prast Real Estate Professional Agent in Biltmore Park, One Town Square Blvd, Suite 140 Asheville NC 28803

team member since 2016

About Me

Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction to me—that's why I became a professional real estate agent. I want to give you the same feeling of fun and excitement I felt when I bought my Asheville home with Beverly-Hanks.

Prior to starting my career in real estate, I spent 15 years in industrial distribution. In that time, I came to know a lot about the wonderful manufacturing businesses that make this region great. Through that career, I discovered what would become my forever home: Western North Carolina.

I brought my family to the Asheville area in 2009, and it did not take long for us to fall in love with the community. It is here that my daughter was born. It is here that my son and I are learning how to be better citizens through scouting. It is here that my wife and I feel our children are safe when they go to school each day. It is here that I'm confident you can find the same.

WNC is a region that has something to offer everyone. Whether you are looking for a bungalow near downtown, a retreat in the mountains, or your own forever-home in one of our fantastic school districts, I would be thrilled to help you find the best home for your needs. I want you to know that I am behind you every step of the way, and I will go out of my way to make sure you feel secure through the whole process.

I had been trying to sell my lot in Avery Creek for several years; and had used several different real estate agents prior to Jared Prast; none of whom were successful. After we hired Jared, he immediately went to work with enthusiasm, and worked tirelessly to market and sell our lot. He used various different marketing strategies and was very effective in finding a buyer and getting us a fair price for our property. He continually kept us informed and updated during the process; and he and his staff made the closing process extremely easy and error free. I highly recommend Jared. He is a top notch professional.

Daniel Harris, Bonne Terre, Missouri

We had purchased this property with Jared's help 4 years ago. It was our first home purchase and we couldnt have asked for a better experience. When it came time to sell this property, there was no doubt who we would go with.

Yaseen Zia, Mills River

Partnering with Jared Prast during the search for and purchase of my new house has been one of the most pleasant experiences I've had when working with a Realtor(R). Thanks so much for making the purchase of my new house so easy!

Marjorie Iles, Arden

I couldn't imagine ever using anyone else to assist in the home buying/selling process. Jared went through two homes with us and when we were having issues with the 1st seller, Jared kept us calm and provided solutions. We are from out of state and were unable to be there during escrow. Jared literally DID EVERYTHING for us including taking my late night phone calls (6pm my time is 9pm his time). He's a saint! He went completely above and beyond and I really don't know if we would have stayed sane or even been able to get this closed if we used anyone else. We are so thankful that we were referred to him.

JERRY AND FONDA HASKINS

Jared was very helpful in pursuing our interest on this purchase. He worked hard to keep everyone up to date on the latest information and sought out good and reasonably price professionals for us. I would highly recommend Jared as your next realtor!

Bob Herrera, Hendersonville

Always a pleasure to work with someone with such honor and integrity. Not a realtors are created equal. Thank you again.

Brad Goldman

Jared was excellent. He was always available, and if not, he would return my call quickly. He made the home buying process easy for a first time buyer like me, and he took the time to show me around and answer any questions I had. In fact, the house I am in now wasn't even on my list of houses to see, and I wouldn't be here now had he not suggested a showing. It hit all my marks. I would recommend Jared to anyone. Jared came recommended form a family friend. The above factors didn't have anything to do with my selection.

Nick B

Jared went above and beyond all our expectations. He was responsive, willing to explain any part of the selling process in terms we could understand, and always kept our best interests in mind. Would recommend to anyone buying in the south Asheville area.

Eric Gay

Jared, was great in guiding we thru the sale of my home since I have moved to Florida. Basically sold my home long distance

Bruce Melvin, Naples,Florida

We chose Jared because he was the listing agent on the property we wanted to see. It ended up that he was an incredible agent and went above and beyond in ever area possible. Jared was beyond detailed in all aspects of our home purchase. He was incredibly knowledgable about all aspects of a house and helped us every step of the way to make sure our best interests were met. He is reliable, responsive, kind, and thorough. He made each step of purchasing a home from out of state possible and constantly helped us feel peace of mind. Although one may look at the above ratings of all "excellent" marks and think that the person taking the survey just clicked down the line, with Jared it is all true! He excelled in each of the aforementioned characteristics. We are lucky to have found him as our agent!

The Morones, Fletcher, North Carolina

Can't possibly say anything more than what I have already said. A boss or an office is only as good as the people that work for (with) them, and Jared is obviously a key to making your office as good as it is. His honesty and sincerity was greatly appreciated and he will be getting a Thank You card from me!

Mike Gardner, Tamarac, Fl

Jared was very positive, and communication was a strength keeping us informed each step of the way.

Carolyn Ledford

We have dealt with other brokers who are primarily interested in their commission rather the needs of their clients. While working with Jared on both buying and selling properties, he has always had our best interest at heart. His knowledge of homes and land, building materials, construction, and related property features such as septic, water, etc are very impressive, pointing out things that might be overlooked or ignored by other realtors in order to make a quick sale. We are very impressed with his honesty and integrity. He does not attempt to "Wow" you with the positive attributes of a home or property without including the down-sides so you always know what you are getting into.

Brad Goldman Boca Raton, FL

Coudn't be happier with Jared. He was very attentive to our needs and always available for questions or concerns. We would use him again for sure!

Jack Corper - Zirconia

Jared is very professional. He was available to us every step of the way. We would definitely recommend him to family and friends!

The Gillespie Family

Jared was generous with his time and extremely attentive to every detail. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Yaseen Zia, Mills River

Jared went out of his way to help us market and sell. Many thanks. He was always available and ready to help, We couldn't have asked for a better agent.

Richard Kemmler, Sarasota, FL

We have used Jared Prast for our last two home purchases, and could not be more satisfied with the results. As newcomers to the area, we relied heavily on Jared to navigate through the buying process. Without reservation, we would recommend Jared and his office to our friends and family.

Jack & Maureen Corper, Zirconia NC

Jerad will greet you with a terrific. He is kind, highly ethical, and generous with his time and patience. He's very knowledgeable about the structural integrity of a home, and the machines, i.e. AC, heat, dishwasher, refrigerator, etc., that complete a home. He's got a good sense of humor and solid experience. He looked for what worked for me in my price range, not in a range that suited his agenda. I was well taken care of. It was a great pleasure to work with him.

Kate C. Asheville, NC

Jared Prast listened to our overall wish list, wants, and found a way to make it happen. He did not present or have us focus on homes that were outside of our price range or selected location. He was targeted on finding a solution that worked for us. Jared Prast guided us through the process with constant communication and a proactive approach to close within our budget. Jared Prast made us feel comfortable with the usual stressful time of purchasing a new home. He was always level headed, and gave accurate information that allowed us to make decisions. Jared then followed up on those decisions immediately without hesitation at all hours. He worked tirelessly to move forward regardless of the request. Excellent service! Excellent communication! He was always completely professional in his role as a partner in our home buying process. I would recommend Jared Prast without a doubt.

Jared Sunday; Arden, NC

Jared found the listing, followed through in managing expectations and clearly communicating information from selling/buying side. Another great win!

JM11 Investments, LLC

Jared was the perfect balance of profionalism and personal interest in my home hunting needs. I reached out to Jared and he responded immediately. I was still searching for the right agent and didn’t get back to him immediately. He checked in with me respectfully. He demonstrated interest in my needs, yet did not pressure me. He was sincere. I chose him after talking to two other agents. I can’t reiterate enough all of the items I checked off on this list as excellent. Jared was everything I could have hoped for during the home buying process. He made a nerve racking process actually comfortable. I walked in to the process of purchasing a home with Jared feeling comfortable. I walked out of closing my amazing new home after Jared’s unending, impeccable service throughout the process, feeling confident, estatic and empowered.

Kathy Schmidt, Arden, NC

Jared goes the extra mile. As an out-of town buyer, he assisted in finding reputable people to deal with (attorneys etc) and we were confident he had chosen reliable people for us. He enjoys learning about the complexities of his business and it shows when things get complicated.

Brad and Jen Goldman

Jared was very friendly and helpful. He worked with us closely and helped find the perfect house for our needs. It was a pleasure to work with him. He always took time for us no matter how busy he may have been. He became a friend. I would highly recommend him and have to several of my friends and family. Thank you Jared

Tammy and David Kelly, Fletcher, NC

We met Jared because we called about one of his listings. He was courteous and professional and took the time to learn our needs. He is incredibly knowledgable about local real estate. Jared's attention to detail and passion for his profession is second to none!

Cal Mullen, Asheville

Happened upon Jared on a long distance search for a retirement home. Very happy we did! Jared went over and above in helping us throughout the process

Jack & Maureen Corper, Ambler Pa

Jared did great in this transaction. We tried to close 3 times and he did his best to keep everything together on my side, the buyer's side. He did everything possible to push this transaction passed the finish line and that's exactly what you need from a broker. Thanks for your assistance.

JM11 Investments, LLC

Jared is very friendly and professional. He is genuinely sincere in getting you the most fair price for buying and selling which is what are doing. He is thorough and detailed oriented. Always returns your calls or text as soon as possible. Very encouraging when a deal falls through. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know that is in the market to buy or sell. Thank you Jared

David and Tammy Kelly, 15 Old Arden Road Fletcher, NC 28732

Jared went above and beyond to help us and still is. He has recommended reliable people for all aspects of the closing. All calls have been returned promptly by Jared and he is a sincerely kind individual.

Brad Goldman, Boca Raton, FL

Jared did an amazing job taking care of the needs of this project, the buyers, and the client. He is well experienced in all types of materials, in the Asheville market, and gives great recommendations to tackle offers, negotiate terms, etc. He is accessible, friendly, and dependable. He pre-marketed my property before it was completed and sold it above list price. I would recommend Jared Prast as a premier real estate agent with Beverly-Hanks.

JM11 Investments, LLC

Mr. Prast is the realtor I trust; he has acted in both a selling and buying capacity for me in the past. He takes time to explain all that is going on in the ever complex world of real estate. From taking square footage to frequent phone call updates his clients receive a one on one experience that is mutually beneficial. Mr. Prast is a solid professional with a great future ahead in this field!

Matthew Riddle, Davidson NC

I just couldn't be happier. He's a true professional. I'm so glad our paths crossed!

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.
