About Me

Before I settled in Hendersonville in the late 1990s, I grew up in south Florida and then lived in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and Wilmington, North Carolina. Western North Carolina has definitely won my heart, and I feel I will forever call it my home. If you have never been here, one of my favorite things to do is to share the experience of our eclectic, incredibly diverse, and beautiful area!

As an outdoor enthusiast and hiker, I have seen the most gorgeous vistas, hidden lush green fern gullies, and secret refreshing swimming holes our beautiful mountains have to offer. My husband Bryan, a very inquisitive Asheville native, knows these mountains very well and has shared his love and experience of the area with me. We have also shared this love with our beautiful and equally inquisitive son, Casey, and daughter, Katelyn. If we are having an adventure, you can bet our lovable and plucky little dog, Oliver, will be with us.

I also enjoy the culinary delights that our rapidly evolving restaurant and brewery scene has to offer. I love to just walk around one of our little towns with my family and friends and enjoy the shopping, people watching, and food. If I’m not spending the day with people, I enjoy puttering around in my garden and growing my own organic vegetables. I have a passion for reading, and I’m a member of a book club. My daughter shares my love of horses, movies, and the arts, and we enjoy spending time together doing those things. I have a rich and fulfilling spiritual life and love sharing that with others.

Experience

Whether it’s your first home or your twenty-first home, I will be there for you every step of the way.

Before becoming a full-time professional real estate agent, I ran my own small business, which regularly placed me in clients’ beautiful homes and in a position of confidence and trust. During those years, I gained not only professional clients, but friends whom I still keep in touch with to this day.

My father was a contractor, and I grew up in and around the home construction trade. The love of watching someone build a home to create a new life or perhaps to slow down and retire in, has been such a joyful part of my life. It was a natural transition to help someone through the process of buying or selling their home.

Testimonials

Jodie stuck with us the entire 9 months we were waiting for our home. She was the person who understood our needs and the one who actually got us on the list to buy the home we wanted in perhaps the toughest housing market to date.

Louis Lazarus Asheville NC

Jodi was very professional and was there the whole process of handling our property at 105. Always returned my phone call and e-mails and text. Felt from the very start that our communication was going to be up front, and we would highly recommend her for any other property we have in the future. Overall will highly recommend her.

Wade and Debbie Lail Mills River, NC

We can't speak highly enough about our experience finding a home with Jodie! She was professional, patient, personable, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable about the local market. She provided us with excellent information, resources and recommendations throughout the process, listened to what was important to us, and provided invaluable support as we searched for (and ultimately FOUND!) our dream home. We couldn't be more thankful we found her! Simply put, we couldn't have done this without her help, and would strongly recommend her services to anyone looking to find a home in the Asheville area.

Sara Fields Bridges, Asheville, NC

Jodie has been involved in three real estate transactions for us and in every instance behaved professionally and made everything go as smoothly and painlessly as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Jodie Tolbert to anyone who wanted to buy or sell real estate. Real estate transactions can be difficult and confusing and having a professional like Jodie taking care of the details really reduces the stress factor.

Carol Radley, Hendersonville

Where Jodie goes that's where all our referrals go, best and honest , really appreciated all her hard work. She would always get back to us same day. Definitely best experience with realtor that I have ever had. Highly recommend ! She made our closing smooth despite delays on our end with financing , she smoothed out process for us and definitely solid negotiator.

Javan Lazarus Asheville NC

We asked Jodie to consult with us months prior to putting the house on the market to get a Price Comparison and her impression of the property. She responded and was completely frank about what needed to be accomplished regarding the 'To-do' list if we wanted to get the money for the sale she claimed we should/could get. She helped us arrange for an early home-inspection from a pro so we would not have surprises latter that may cause a delayed closing. When the first buyer backed out, the call we received from her that day sounded so sad, she was preparing us for the disappointment. Little did she know that we were very happy they backed out because they were driving us crazy with how they handled themselves. She got us back on the market that same day and we had two offers before the day was over, for the same amount as the previous buyers. She walked us through all of the stuff again and this time we closed on time with well over asking price. The Market is what the Market is, but I know my spouse and I are better off after having Jodie to keep us calm and focused and lead the way to success. Thank you Jodie! We'll see you, for sure the next time we have a Real Estate Need.

Joan & George Fraley

Jodie was a pleasure to work with. She went beyond to please us with all our questions, concerns, a lovely person to work with. We appreciate all she did for us.

Pamela D. Turner, Hollywood, SC. 29449

We have dealt with numerous realtors over the years due to the fact that we buy and sell frequently. Jodie Tolbert has been exceptional. She understood exactly what we wanted, gave us a precise plan, and carried it out to the fullest. All glitches and idiosyncrasies that occurred as a result of it being a long-distance sale were covered totally by Jodie. She was there at every turn and made sure things went smoothly. She was far and away the most attentive real estate agent we have ever worked with. We would highly and without reservation recommend Jodie to deal with your real estate necessities.

Bernadette and Per E.

I Stated what l was looking for during a previous showing appt. and she contacted me several months later when property came available. Jodie handled all aspects of transaction as they occurred, including numerous inspections and repairs. Jodie was over and above everything l could ask for in a real estate broker and the transaction went smoothly.

My husband and I live in the Charlotte area and just closed on a condo in Asheville. We were quite nervous about trying to purchase a home while living so far away, however, Jodie Tolbert made the process so easy and seamless. Not only did we feel like we’ve known her for years, you can tell she is a seasoned Realtor. She has a wealth of information that is invaluable. Jodie not only assisted us in finding the right place, she also assisted in making sure we made the right offer. She answered our million questions no matter the time of day, assisted us in getting our place inspected while being remote and of course guided us through the closing process. The process was so easy, and we know it was because of her experience. Even now after the closing, she still makes time to assist us. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, look no further. She really feels more like a family member helping you than a Realtor. You will not be disappointed!!!!!

Lisa Capote, Asheville

I live in SC and just closed on a home in Asheville. Jody Tolbert, my agent, made it so much easier than I thought it could be. She made sure she understood exactly what kind of home I was looking for as well as where I wanted it to be located. In less than three weeks I had the home I was hoping for. Jodies experience is invaluable. She had all the comps ready and guided me thru making the right offer. Communication with all involved in the closing as well as scheduling of inspections was done while I was at home in SC. Jodie managed the entire process professionally and seamlessly AND she was always available to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property in NC.

C.Thomas Charleston SC

This is the 6th house we have bought in our life. Jodie is by far our favorite realtor. She was so patient with us and we never felt like she was trying to push us just to make a sale. She was easy to get a hold of and anytime we needed a questioned answered, she was there and if she didn't know answer she would find out. We looked at houses (many houses) for 8 months so we spent a lot of time together. We worked through a pandemic and all the stresses that come with that. She was always professional while being fun and just nice to be around! I would definitely recommend Jodie to anyone buying or selling a home.

Beth MacDonald-Hendersonville, NC

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.
