Jim Boyd
About Me
Growing up in the South taught me respect and manners. Time in the U.S. Marine Corps taught me discipline. Having the great fortune to interact with highly intelligent and successful people over the years taught me the value of hard work and the importance of continually striving to learn more and do better for yourself and your community.
I was born in Charleston, SC, graduated high school in North Carolina, and completed a business/finance degree at a university in Virginia. Having previously lived in Manhattan, I have a much better appreciation of the beauty and splendor of the place we call home. Big cities have a huge amount to offer, but you can’t beat living in an area of incredible natural beauty and amongst truly gracious people.
I am blessed to reside in the Hendersonville West Side Historic District in a beautiful 1920s bungalow. During time off, you can find me spending time with friends and family, having dinner in downtown Hendersonville, working in my garden, or spending time with Gilli, my Australian Labradoodle.
Experience
Before becoming a RealtorⓇ, I spent 25 years as a professional in interior design operations and management. I learned the vital role that interior design can play in purchasing a property to suit the needs of a home buyer and in assuring that a home sells for the best possible price. Through leading teams of highly talented designers and collaborating with many fine architects and contractors, I had the privilege of taking part in many successful projects. This unique experience assists me in adding value to my real estate clients.
Having managed projects all over the United States and through participation on various international projects, I have broad experience in assisting clients from various backgrounds. From Fortune 500 CEOs to professionals, athletes, and entrepreneurs, I have obtained an understanding of the unique needs of each client.
A house is purchased or built, but a home is where memories are made and dreams come true. I would be honored to assist you in finding the perfect house in which to make your home.

Testimonials
My wife and I called the Hendersonville office and asked to see real estate in the area. Jim Boyd was available to do so. Jim showed us a variety of properties and adapted from our initial "secondary" house to ultimate "primary" house interests. Jim helped us sort out inspection issues that arose with the new construction, and was very patient and helpful with this engineer's large list of questions and concerns. We would recommend Jim Boyd to anyone looking for a home in the Hendersonville, NC area. We enjoyed working with him over a period of several months!

My brother recommended him. When I met Jim, I also felt he would be reliable and easy to work with. He understood what we wanted and showed properties accordingly. He never pushed to make a sale and I always felt he wanted us to buy only something that we felt comfortable with and met our needs. It was a pleasure to work with him!

Jim was amazing in every aspect of the purchase process, and made everything simple, easy to understand, and smooth. He helped us through our first home purchase, and got us a great deal on a wonderful home, all the while dealing with uncooperative sellers! Thank you so much Jim!

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.
