John Ellis

Before earning my real estate broker’s license, I already had over a decade of experience working alongside real estate professionals and investors, many of whom inspired me to pursue my real estate passion in full. I have first-hand experience with short-term rentals and investment properties. In addition to my role as a luxury real estate broker with Walnut Cove Realty, I embrace another calling as a Captain at the East Asheville station of the Asheville Fire Department. As a firefighter, I have intimate knowledge of the city and surrounding areas that can’t be gained anywhere else, and my work as a Captain has further reinforced my natural skills related to teamwork, discipline, and dependability. I approach every meeting with an opportunity mindset. Bring me a challenge, and I’ll say, “good.”
