Karen Newgard Black
About Me
I grew up in southeast Louisiana and began my artistic education at LSU. In the early 1990s, I came to North Carolina to attend Penland School of Crafts—and never left. The natural beauty, the people, and the rich culture of the region made Western North Carolina an obvious choice for my home. My husband, Ken, and I enjoy so much that this area has to offer: camping, hiking with our dog Katie, canoeing, kayaking, and motorcycling the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway and back roads.
Experience
Turning dreams into reality and clients into friends is my measure of success! As your professional real estate agent, I will bring all my experience, energy, and skills to meet your needs and home buying or selling goals.
I’ve always had a love for craft and how its heritage is rooted in this region, so it was here that I launched my successful pottery business. I developed a body of work, built a salt kiln, established a studio, and began marketing and selling my work. That business allowed me to buy my first home and further establish myself in Western North Carolina.
My interest in real estate began when my husband and I formed a property investment group with college friends. As we went through that process, I realized I had a talent and a passion for researching the history and uncovering the hidden details of the properties we were evaluating.
My career as potter taught me how multitask and work through technical problems with a keen eye for detail and refinement. My role as a small business owner taught me the need for agility in the marketplace so that I could grow and develop my product in a changing environment. A commitment to excellent and attentive customer service has always been cornerstone of my business. Now, as a real estate agent, I enjoy bringing those skills to each of my clients.
I can’t wait to hear your stories about the journey that brings you to this area. I look forward to searching for your perfect property, helping you craft your new home, or making the next step effortless and successful.
Testimonials
We knew Karen before hand and referred her to a good friends mother who was moving to town. This person loved her experience with Karen. When it was time for us to sell there was no question who we would use to list. Karen went above and beyond helping us with our house sale. When we needed help getting ready to stage she helped for hours to make it just right. She advocated strongly and strategically for us in negotiations and was very professional throughout the whole process. Would definitely refer her again.
Eric Smith


Karen will go above and beyond for you. She networks in a lot of areas. She wants to know and understand everything about your home. To me that matters then I have less calls with questions. Karen has high integrity and is transparently with details and those qualities help with a efficiency to close on your home. If you want someone to understand and is very thorough with everything that is involved with selling a house then you want Karen to be your realtor. Karen cares and is proactive and doesn't drop the ball during the entire process Karen is very knowledgeable about the area and that helps a lot when some of the potential buyers are interested in the mountain range and need to be educated. I have bought and sold homes in other states with different realtors and I can truly say that Karen integrity and efficiency is superior. Ironically when we close on the house we were also dealing with a Hurricane 5 storm in Florida and Karen reached out to us and prayed for us and truly cared for our wellbeing and I will never forget that. We thank Karen for being so thoughtful and supportive during the entire process.
Darlene Lagerstedt


As with when she helped me buy, Karen consistently went above and beyond in helping me sell my house. One of the first things I noticed when I met her is how well she listens It's apparent that she loves this work, the nitty gritty detail part and the people part, and she excels at both. I can't imagine what it would've been like to go through this very stressful time without someone like Karen who was there for me every step of the way. I trusted Karen to take care of everything and she did. The stressful parts of the closing had to do with things that Karen had no control over. I learned that others were not as invested in their work as Karen is in hers. I was a crtical care nurse for thirty years and I prided myself on taking care of my patients like I would want myself or one of my family members to be cared for. This is how Karen treats her clients and why I will be recommending her highly to anyone who needs a realtor.
Margaret Bishop, Asheville, NC


Karen went above and beyond to help me purchase the house of my dreams. Upon first meeting her the first thing I noticed was what a wonderful listener she is. She gave me the sense that helping me find and buy my home was the #1 priority in her life and was always available when I had a question, concern or needed help with something. It is also apparent that she loves this work, both the detailed nitty gritty part and the people part, and she excels at both. My husband of forty-six years passed away just three weeks before I met Karen. This is the first house I've bought on my own. I believe the stress of such a big undertaking at a time like this would've been way too much without Karen's expertise, guidance, support, and cheerful willingness to do whatever needed to be done, including crawling on her knees in white capris to get a good look at the underbelly of an older home. With the way she has watched out for me and my needs I feel like I got way more than just a realtor with Karen. I will be recommending her to anyone I know who is selling and or buying a home.
Margaret Bishop, Burnsville and Asheville, NC


My sister insisted Karen Black be the listing agent prior to her death. It was one of her final requests. I also agreed because her kind nature. Karen was very sensitive to the situation. She sold my sister's other home right before and went above and beyond expectations in helping with the move and running things to charities. This was why my sister insisted Karen be the agent. She kept our needs in mind rather than trying to just make a quick sale.
Renee Seals, Asheville NC


Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. Very diligent in providing us with information on inspections and status of the sale along the way. We will definitely use her for future sales and acquisitions.
Kim Dills-Asheville NC


Karen Black is an excellent real estate agent and we would highly recommend her in the future to anyone purchasing or selling a home in the Asheville area. Her attention to detail, her knowledge of homes and of the local market, her support during negotiations, and her follow-through were all exemplary. She is also fun to work with and has a great sense of humor. Five Stars!
Meloney R. Weaverville, NC


Karen Black went well beyond what I expect from a realtor. She is very knowledgeable and professional and took care of every detail in a timely way. She helped us price the house perfectly and we had it under contract in two days. This was the easiest, best real estate experience I’ve ever had.
Debbie Truempy, Asheville


Karen Black came highly recommended by another agent who didn’t know rural land well, and I felt very grateful for Karen’s help. Very willing to help me see land, to gauge value by my standards and to listen to what mattered to me. She seemed to negotiate competently and help me get info I wanted quickly. She was very diligent after going under contract, even helping after closing when sellers violated the contract. Also she’s just fun to be around. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.
Whip, Burnsville


My wife and I both agree that we have never had a better experience with a realtor. We called Karen Black because we wanted to know what our home was worth. What we received was a ton of useful research, great ideas for marketing the property and much more. We decided within ten minutes that it was time to sell the house and that Karen was the right person to do it. We haven't regretted our decision for a single second. We have worked with a few local realtors in the past but we've never worked with one as capable, knowledgeable and downright clever as Karen. If we decide to buy another home in the area, hers will be the first number we call.
G. Truempy, Asheville, NC


We have used Karen in the past and was very happy with her professionalism, knowledge and her kind spirit. She again was brilliant at selling our home.
Vicki essig


This transaction was not going to be easy for me, as I was selling my mother's house due to her passing away several months prior. Karen was in my corner the entire time, completely supportive and understanding. Karen made the process easy and as pain free as possible. We achieved our end result and I can move forward. I'm very grateful to Karen for her services and friendship.
Sara L., Fletcher


Karen could not have been a better service provider...she was attentive to our needs, proactive in the provision of information, and extremely easy to work with. She put us at ease very quickly and made us feel confident that what she was saying and doing was exactly what needed to be said and done. Karen went to work quickly, identified potential interested parties quickly, and brought in two very quick offers. The value for money result above is less a reflection of Karen and more a reflection of the 6% commission rate of Beverley Hanks!! Karen was top-notch.....she made us feel like we had known her for years and she demonstrated that she knew her profession well and knew where the Asheville market was in respect of condominium properties. I am being a bit repetitive, nevertheless, I cannot speak highly enough of Karen Black in her capacity as sales agent and her ability to provide a top notch service in a friendly, yet professional, manner. Ten out of ten!!
Eric Hav Trott, Asheville/Bermuda


Based on working with Karen Black to purchase a residence in Asheville, she earned my highest recommendation for being knowledgeable, responsive, creative in overcoming challenges, and a good negotiator. Beyond that, I appreciated Karen's strong attention to detail. I would be glad to work with Karen again.
Scott Moen, Saint Paul, Minnesota


I feel that Karen Black worked in my best interest especially in regard to the inspections and consistently communicated with me.
Deanna Jordan Park Ridge, IL


Karen Black was super, answered all questions in a timely manner. If she did not have knowledge of an issue, she researched and returned with an answer quickly and succinctly.
Susan and Walter Benyo 17 Zane’s Cove Road Asheville


Karen Black kept me informed all the way through a tricky, complicated negotiation with the sellar, and during a tricky time in the economy. It took tremendous patience and willingness to be and stay positive even when I sometimes faltered. I am grateful she stuck with me and the entire process.
Marta Drayton Burnsville


Having a personal reference was important to me. Otherwise it's just a shot in the dark. I trusted that Karen would do a great job because my associate knows her and thinks highly of her. I felt really good about every step of the process. Karen was efficient, timely, communicative and knowledgeable. I felt confident that I was in good hands. Matt Gaglione was patient and careful to explain every aspect of the loan process to me. I never felt hesitant to ask questions, and he was always quick to respond. I couldn't be happier with my experience. I got the perfect house sooner than I expected. Karen did a fantastic job.
Zoe Taddie, Asheville


Actually, I called randomly when I saw A Beverly Hanks sign in the window of a townhome I was interested in buying and she was on floor duty that day. But I must tell you, without knowing her beforehand, I could not have handpicked a better agent to work with me on the purchase of my new townhome. I got really lucky w Karen Black because she was more than competent and extremely amazing to work with. And let me just add, she has a great personality and is a lot of fun... which I really appreciated. Thank you Karen, and I feel like I not only gained the perfect townhome, but I also gained a good friend as well.
Regina Loveday / Asheville NC


Karen is a trusted friend and I knew that she would be the best person to help me sell my dad's place. I cannot give her enough praise. She was very professional , knowledgable, and open to any and all questions I had. She also went above and beyond in helping me get my dad's place ready to sell. She is also a very warm person with a wonderful sense of humor which went a long way whenever we had any set backs. Always a very positive attitude. She was also very prompt in preparing materials for me to sign and explained everything clearly. I will recommend her to anyone who is looking for an outstanding realtor. She was just the best!
Becky Lloyd Clyde, NC


John and Karen went above and beyond to present and show my home. They did an outstanding job which I am very grateful.I know at times I was a pest but understood were I was coming from. I want to thank them both for the outstanding work they did on my behalf. It was a pleasure working with Karen
Robert A Lee Merritt Island, FL


I am a writer. I got all that in the first time. She's simply outstanding.
Walter M. Goldberg


Karen was extremely knowledgeable about the kind of sale we were facing: an inherited property with multiple owners, none of whom lived in town. She also knew the immediate area well and had a good idea of comparable properties. She is very communicative: prompt in returning texts, phone calls, etc. She is also patient and thorough, making sure each owner was comfortable with the process. Because of Karen's expert communication, each of the multiple owners was kept updated and fully informed. This was a complex situation but she led us on the smoothest possible path to a quick and satisfying sale. We would rate her as excellent in all aspects and even higher than excellent--maybe exemplary!--in so many aspects of her work, notably: patient, understanding, accessible, professional. Karen led us through a terribly complicated process with aplomb. Before hiring her, we were overwhelmed with the logistics of getting the house onto the market and sold. Once we hired her, we felt confident that we could succeed in selling this house, and we did!
Gretchen and Stephen, Salt Lake City (sold house in Black Mountain)


Karen renewed our faith in home buying again!! This was the best buyer experience we have ever had. Wonderful person and very knowledgeable with a true honest spirt. Thanks Karen Black!!
Jamie and crystal brodesser, Weaverville nc


Karen is very dedicated, persistent is finding exactly what you are looking for. Kind hearted. I look at real estate like I look at gambling. But with Karen, it’s like having the ultimate wild card!
Paul and Lorrie Deletetsky Weaverville


Karen did an amazing job and guided us every step of the way from prepping the house for sale to helping with contracts and the final sale. She was on point with pricing and the house sold just under 2 weeks. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Jason Bond


Karen black was the perfect broker for us. She led us through the entire process making sure we had the clarity we need at each step. She knows the area well, appreciated the beauty of our property in a way that we knew would come through in her representation, and she was 100% accessible to us throughout. She’s not a broker in heels—she walked our property lines, rolled up her sleeves, and made things happen. We received two offers the first day we listed!
Leslie Noell, Penland


Karen Black was an exceptional realtor! I live in California and Karen was able to show me properties and take care of every detail of my purchase remotely. She is personable and professional and was very patient with me as my wish list was ever changing! I highly recommend her for all your real estate needs!!
Randi Dodge San Jose, California


Although Karen is relatively new to the real estate business, knowing her attention to detail, knowledge of the Asheville area and her commitment to us as clients made her the obvious choice as a broker. Karen is a delight. Not only is her professionalism excellent, she also is a joy to work with. Her ability to make us comfortable throughout the entire process of selling our home was noteworthy. Karen put her heart and soul into making sure that we were happy and comfortable with the process. Her advice and direction was spot on. I would highly recommend her.
vicki essig asheville


We had a very positive experience working with Karen. As first time home buyers she took the time to help us understand the home buying process and provided excellent resources. We found her to be very responsive and efficient and the home buying process was much quicker than we expected. Karen is extremely knowledgeable about home repair and systems within the home which is so helpful. Also, Karen is fun to be around.

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.
