About Me

Jennifer is a native North Carolinian and has been a full time Realtor since 2009. This is her second career. She began working in newspapers in nearby Morganton and in Fayetteville, NC, leaving to pursue a graduate degree and work in New York City, Boston, and New Jersey. A love of houses, rehabbing and people launched her second career in suburban Basking Ridge, NJ, where she and husband Vann raised their three children. When two of the kids selected N.C. for college they knew their love for Carolina blue had not fallen on deaf ears. Jennifer was a luxury agent in N.J., and is successfully continuing her practice in long-chosen Asheville. A recent 2022 highlight was listing and selling a grand Grove Park beauty for $200,000 over asking. Yet she confesses to a soft spot for young clients buying their first-time home!

Jennifer likes easy hikes, art openings, all the fun things that brought her to Asheville. In the volunteer world, she proudly supports Homeward Bound, Pisgah Legal, Women for Women, Manna Food Bank, the Governor's Western Residence and other non-profits.

Testimonials

During the sales process, Jennifer Vogel and her husband were out of the country some of the time. I was a little concerned that we might be delayed or that there could be some problems that might develop while she was gone. That was not at all the case. Before she left, she provided me with a list of people who would be available to help while she was away. The purchase process did not suffer at all. The home purchase experience was very positive and I credit Jennifer with that. She is a very knowledgeable and professional real estate agent and I really enjoyed working with her

Shirley Pace, Tallahassee, Florida

I knew and liked Jennifer. Jennifer was great! She went above and beyond to get the deal settled. It had a lot of sticking points along the way. Jennifer handled them all very well. I would recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the area. She really cares about the people she serves. She takes things calmly even when the client (me) is losing my cool. I was very satisfied. Jennifer kept me calm when we encountered another problem - and there were many along the way!

We were transferred to the Asheville area and wanted to keep our home out of state. Jennifer was very patient with us and understood our limited search time.

She was available when we needed her and that is very much appreciated!

Betsy McDonald, Asheville

Jennifer was the best broker I have ever worked with! She went above and beyond her duties as a broker as I was buying a home from out of state. She helped me sort out all the details of buying a second home. Even though I started this process not knowing what I really wanted, she quickly learned what I DIDNT want in a house. She caught on quick to what would work for me and sent me some great listings. She gave me excellent tips on different areas to live. She was very knowledgeable on the Asheville area and really helped me get acclimated to the area. Jennifer was very available for me. I was pretty helpless through this process being from out of town and also a fairly inexperienced buyer. She walked me through the process step by step helping me with the details I would have never thought of. She truly became a friend I could trust and rely on. Even after the sale was wrapped up and her job was done, she came out to the house to see how I had furnished and decorated it. That meant A LOT. I would highly recommend Jennifer Vogel to anyone wanting to buy a home in the Asheville area!! The North Office of Beverly Hanks has one fine realtor in Jennifer Vogel!!

Karen Zahler, Asheville

Jennifer Vogel immediately began working tirelessly to make sure we found our perfect home. She went out her way to show us every property that she thought we might like and did so as soon as they hit the market. In our price range Jennifer did not have an easy job, but she did it better than we could have ever imagined. Jennifer was also very attentive to our needs and wants when looking for a home. Anytime we had a question Jennifer was there. If she did not have the answer she found it immediately. Jennifer was on top of every little detail. She even brought us boxes and packing paper! I give her all the credit for such a smooth and painless home purchase. Jennifer is so sweet and caring and we are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with her. We hope to do it again in the future. Jennifer is absolutely amazing and helped us to find our dream house! We couldn't be more satisfied.

Samantha Shepherd, Asheville NC

Jennifer is knowledgable about the real estate business and the Asheville community. She is reliable and communicative. Her approach to our requests and concerns was compassionate and conscientious. She went over and above our expectations by personally meeting with and performing research into the various utility providers for our property. We are confident that she negotiated for us the best possible price and we are extremely satisfied with the outcome. I must add as well that Jennifer is a lot of fun.

Dave and Margaret Peterson, Edmonds WA

Having known Jennifer Vogel for many years, I knew I couldn't be in better hands with regard to relocating. Jennifer also goes out of her way, without expectation of reciprocity, to get her buyers integrated into the community. The number of properties Jennifer previewed for me and/or took me to see, was daunting. I wasn't clear on what my needs would be going forward. The woman has the proverbial 'patience of a saint. Although Jennifer has a sweet demeanor, she is ruthless with regard to noting possible inspection issues and negotiating price.

Is there a best time of the year to buy a house?

When it comes to buying a home, there are pros and cons for each season. Generally, the best season to buy a home is in late summer or fall. There are still plenty of homes for sale, but without the intense competition found during spring. Sellers are also known for being a bit more flexible this time of the year. Zillow reports that the highest number of listings with at least one price reduction are found August–September. However, the deeper buyers venture into fall, the less choice is available. If you value choice, and you want more buyers competing for the home you are leaving, spring could be your best season. Ultimately, the best time to buy a home is when you’re financially ready to do so.
