Who can understand local real estate better than a local? I grew up in Hendersonville, and while my higher education studies took me out of the Blue Ridge, the mountains “called me home,” as John Muir would say. I have been back in Asheville sin…Read More

About Me

I am an extrovert. When I’m not busy with my real estate career, I spend most of my time with my children, Harper and Beckett, and our Great Pyrenees puppy, Millie, but I love to be social.

One way I maintain connections to others i…Read More

I’m so pleased with these panels I found @screendoorasheville. The middle glass door was $20.00 @goodwillnwnc and the chairs were courtesy of a seller @beverlyhanks. I LOVE to decorate on a budget and can help you get your home #stageready to #listinasheville, too. #bh #bhworksbig #buyersagent #listagent #decorateonabudget

This could basically be your backyard. #bh #bhplaysbig #chillulyglassgarden #chillulyatbiltmore#getoutandexplore #828isgreat

Sunday gratitude: Yesterday, in the pouring rain, the kids and I stopped at a farmstand on the side of the road to get fresh peaches and blackberries. When I close my eyes and smell a peach: this smells like summer. Looking forward to eating these like candy—and I just might make Nana’s peach cobbler, too. #sundaygratitude #bh #scpeaches #buylocal #smellslikesummer

This might just look like an ordinary key, but today it means something. This key opens the door to a #newlife and #freshstart for a client who is #takingaleap and #livingthelife by moving to #ashevillenc. I am so grateful and humbled by my part in the process. #bh #bhworksbig #828isgreat #movetoasheville #closingswithkatie #livethelifeyouchoose

I enjoyed a cappuccino and a chocolate zucchini muffin this morning @summitcoffeeasheville. As this month’s #loloasheville gift, you can have both (my treat), too! #bh #bhgivesbig #shoplocalasheville #828isgreat

Inspection Day in Black Mountain. Yes, these are the shoes I wore and Yes, I did walk property lines ( although I did change my shoes before I crossed the creek). A girl’s got to be prepared! #bh #bhworksbig

Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest. A locally grown zucchini and tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil from my garden...delicious. #bh #buylocal #ashevilletailgatemarket #foodislife

Work and play—all in a day #bh #bhplaysbig #mondayissaturdayforrealestateagents #iloveahammock #ilovemybuddy

Pretty. #bh #bhworksbig

Ask An Expert

Is the first offer always the best offer?

It depends... It depends on the whether a neighborhood is in demand, whether the clock is ticking, and if there are other contingencies. If it depends, then why is the "first offer" tenet trumpeted loudly by well-meaning agents? Today, home buyers learn of new listings almost immediately through online alerts. Timing is everything in real estate. Experienced agents know that the combination of alerts and low supply drives the sense of scarcity to peak during the first weeks a home is on the market. Demand fades as the weeks pass, and with less demand, offers become less exciting for sellers.
