Joey Laughridge
About Me
Joey Laughridge is a native of western North Carolina. He grew up at the foot of Mt. Mitchell, and has always had a deep respect and admiration for this special part of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Joey has an extensive background in both golf and club management in gated communities. His experience includes 11 years as General Manager and Vice President of Real Estate Sales at Bear Lake Reserve. There he developed a passion for working with people and providing excellent customer service. He joined Team Billy Harris in 2017. He enjoys understanding the needs of clients and finding a home or homesite that matches those desires. Whether it’s taking a family on a hike or tour of local attractions, he is known for making an extra effort for his clients to truly experience the area in which they are buying.
When he is not focused on his work he’s happiest spending time with his family in and around beautiful Brevard, enjoying live music, or unwinding on the golf course or basketball court.

Joey clearly outlined the services he would provide and followed through on everything he promised to do. He was always responsive when I had any questions or concerns and he provided invaluable advice during the negotiation process.
Jennifer Boucek, South Carolina


Joey was great to work with. We saw a home that we wanted to move quickly to make an offer on and Joey was willing to respond and work with us in very short notice to get the offer in the hands of the Sellers. He was also a great sounding board throughout the due diligence process. We would highly recommend Joey!
Rory


Joey has been very knowledgeable and helpful in every way.
Keith and Michele Presnell, Burnsville NC


Joey was wonderful to work with!!! Excellent agent! It went smoothly relative to Joey’s part!
Jeanne O. FL


Joey, by far one of the best in the industry. I've been in Mortgage for 20+ years and can honestly say, he's top on the list. He "paid attention" to the contingency dates, repairs, inspections and responded to my emails/texts in a timely fashion. Look forward to working with Joey more in the future and sending referrals when i have the opportunity.

I would highly recommend Joey Laughridge for your real estate needs. We were introduced to Joey through Billy Harris, an agent with Beverly Hanks. Both Billy and Joey are incredible resources for the area. They are both extremely knowledgeable about land sales and are well-connected in the community. In addition, they were able to find us a very special piece of property and enabled us to be the first to make an offer as soon as the property was available. Over the last few months, Joey has been able to walk us through the land development process and has been an extremely valuable resource. Without the expertise of this team, we would have had a very difficult time finding our dream property. We are so grateful for the hard work that Joey and Billy have put in for us. We have always been well-attended to and feel that our needs have been met and questions have been answered. If you are looking to purchase property in the area, look no further. You will be in great hands with this team.

Fred in Flat Rock


We knew Joey was our guy. He is a professional and knew how to get the job done. We wanted to know we could sell our home and having someone who is up to date on the local area is huge. Couldn’t have made a better choice on selling our home. Joey is the agent who found this home for us and was able to sell it in a short time. Highly recommend.

We live in Wisconsin and are building a mountain home in WNC.We had to put our faith and trust in someone 900 miles away whom we've never met.From the first phone call we connected with Joey.We had unrealistic expectations about what we we could get with what we wanted to spend.Joey tactfully educated us on the cost of prime mountain land.We readjusted our budget and ended up with what we think is utopia. Thanks Joey.

Ask An Expert
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.
