team member since 2017

About Me

My wife and I traveled through the area in 2016 and at that time, quickly decided this is where we wanted to live. It was an easy decision. We didn't know anyone or where exactly we were going to end up, but after an extensive search, we found the perfect location for us in Hendersonville.To say that we are happily transplanted would be a gross understatement. It is such a blessing to be able to live and work here. We are so grateful that we're here. As an added bonus, we are now much closer geographically to both sides of our family.

Experience

The sale or the purchase of Real Estate is usually stressful primarily because it involves.... moving! I forget where I first read it but moving was listed as one of the ten most stressful things to go through. So whether you're buying or selling a home, or even just looking, I'll keep the process as stress free as possible, and I guarantee we'll have some laughs along the way. After all, laughter is the best medicine!

The desk life was never for me. I started out working in the trades and eventually put myself through college. Since 1990—first in Massachusetts, then in Illinois, and now here in North Carolina—I chose self-directed careers. I began by helping small business owners with their health and life insurance needs. In 2010, I added property and casualty to my insurance license. After an introduction to real estate, I obtained my licence In 2014 and my life has not been the same since.

I've always felt it’s important to like what you do for a living. I absolutely love being a REAL ESTATE BROKER! It's not really about the transaction. It's the people you meet, and serving their needs. being their guide through the process, and helping them get what they're looking for. At the end of the day, it's being a trusted advisor. That's honorable.

Lee Blair is the most conscientious businessman I have dealt with in my 82 years. He went out of his way to make sure that not only paperwork was done but personal attention was paid to my needs.For instance, a piece of my Mother's had been left in a closet, and Lee had it professionally wrapped and mailed to me. He worked hard to make sure the property was presentable. He priced it right and negotiated a sale in a couple of days after listing. Thanks to Lee!

Lyn Lacy Hendersonville NC

Lee was very helpful and offered much advice as we are new to the area. He was very instrumental with all aspects of the transaction and felt he went above and beyond our expectations. He was always willing to do whatever it took to help us with inspections as we are not local, this was a huge help for us. If we ever have another need we will certainly reach out to Lee.

George Grammer, Lake Lure

Lee's level of expertise, experience, and commitment was extraordinary. I was really struggling on whether I should sell my house or keep it. From the first day I met Lee, all the way to the end, I could not have picked a better agent, person, and now a good friend. He made a very difficult time in my life, a little more easier. I highly recommend anyone looking, or even considering to sell or buy real estate, to give Lee Blair a call, I know I will! He's not only a top notch agent, he's truly a good man. Sincerely, Scott A Welch

Scott A Welch/Hendersonville NC

The property I purchased was identified through a Zillow search. Lee Blair was the agent who returned my message sent through Zillow's website. I feel very fortunate that Lee was the responding agent. I purchased a vacation property in the Lake Lure area. I do not live in the area and had only visited while on vacation myself a few times. I needed an agent that was familiar with the area and who knew and could communicate to me the process for sales in NC, and Lee fit the bill exactly. Lee was amazing from the beginning to the end of the process! Lee was great at communicating at every stage of the process and was always available with a quick response when I had questions. In addition to his knowledge and professionalism, Lee is also very friendly and personable. He definitely made me and my wife feel comfortable and at-ease through the entire process. I would recommend Lee to anyone looking for real estate in the area and will certainly work with him again if given the chance.

David Jamison, Columbia SC

It takes someone who listens and cares about what you are looking for and Lee Blair went above and beyond our expectations. We are very pleased and happy to have purchased a piece of property that meets our needs . It is located in an ideal area from which we will have the privacy and freedom from congestion and overcrowding we were looking for. This was quite hard to find and Lee pointed out this property, although it meant a lot more work for him, tracking down an old listing that had expired. All and all, a great job!

Marc and Carmen Renaud - Winter Springs Florida

I have purchased 12 homes, this is the first and only Realtor that actually cared about the outcome and well being of the customer. He’s not out to just turn and burn, He truly wants the best for his customers. He’s honest, open, easy to talk with, amazing with staying in touch and communication. Again, the first realtor that actually cares, also the only realtor that I would use again and provide customer leads.

John and Tiffany Columbus NC

Lee made this experience very manageable, especially considering our distance

Len and Susan Conapinski

I was impressed that Lee visited the property to get generally acquainted with it, even before he met with us. And he arrived with extensive useful analysis of the local market. Marketing was well prepared before going "public". Pictures were outstanding, property description was excellent. Lee's advice on price turned out to be right on. Purchasers scrambled to bid on this house from the outset. We had a contract with an ideal purchaser in four days. Best agent I've ever worked with. Lee even contacted utilities about terminating my service at closing--never had that happen before. This was the best real estate experience I've ever had. I couldn't be more pleased with the process or the outcome.

David Wood, Flat Rock NC

I purchased my lot several years ago for $125K and have been trying to sell it since 2009 - having dropped the price to a fraction of what I paid once our plans changed and we were no longer planning to move to NC. I was stuck paying $95/month in maintenance fees and still owed on my loan. Every realtor I had it listed with prior basically told me they couldn't help me. I received a direct mail from Lee and thought I'd give it one more shot. Lee listened to my situation and was very encouraging. Within a day he went to the lot and spoke with the neighbors and came up with the idea to approach them to see if they would buy the lot, which they did. Now each of the neighbors have increased their lot size and my financial situation got much better. It was a win/win situation for everyone. I am forever grateful to Lee for not giving up and thinking outside the box to help me sell my lot!

Susan Lee, Cooper City, FL

Honest about selling possibility on first conversation. Good guidance for asking price

Dottie Lee, Florida

Lee was always on time and very professional. He always answered our questions with nothing but patience. We will definatley recommend him to any family or friends!

Laura Culver, Hendersonville

Lee was absolutely fantastic. We purchased our home during the Covid pandemic, making our situation fluid. Lee was incredibly patient and understanding. He was highly responsive to our communications. He even allowed us to use his moving dollies and is sending us a gift card as a housewarming gift. Way above and beyond. Loved working with him! Lee needed to amend our due diligence contracts a couple of times, again related to the challenges of the pandemic. Everything went seamlessly. Great knowledge of technology. We can’t really say we had any reservations about asking Lee questions or communicating our changes. He was always kind and professional. Paula, Roxanne and Malissa worked well together and with us too. Loved it.

Greg and Andrea Hendersonville NC

This was a sale of my fathers house after his death. Lee was amazing during the entire process!

Kathy Gould, Atlanta

Buying a home while out of state is very challenging and stressful. Of all the brokers we contacted, Beverly-Hanks and Lee in particular got in touch with us right away and made us feel important. Lee went above and beyond what we expected and made the whole process easy. He was great at communicating and was very honest with us. He was blunt when he needed to be, and didn’t sugarcoat things; we felt he had our best interests in mind at all times. Since we couldn’t be there personally for much of the process, he took initiative to be our eyes and ears and really made everything go smoothly. He also got us a great price!

Brandon Field, Flat Rock by way of Minnesota

I actually stopped by a different realty office but they were closed. I had seen this office so walked down the street and Lee was on duty. I immediately felt comfortable with him and so my search for a realtor was over. Lee went above and beyond helping us with both closing and our move. We had a couple of minor issues before closing and with his help we made it to closing on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Lee as a realtor whether buying or selling your home.

Carol Saba, Hendersonville

Lee was excellent at accommodating my wife and I. We were moving to the area and travelling long distances to look at homes. Lee was more than willing to work around our schedule. He was very professional and offered great advise on the area and properties we were viewing.

Ale Del Papa, Hendersonville, NC

Lee Blair helped us relocate to NC. He helped us every step of the way and was always available for our questions and concerns, day or night. Lee gave us excellent advice but always made sure we were comfortable with our decisions. Lee was more then just our realtor, he became our friend after the purchase of our home and I would recommend him highly to anyone out there looking for a realtor who will get you what you want.

Ramona Jimenez Florida

As a relocation client, I thought it was an advantage to work with a broker who also moved from another state. Lee gave insightful and relevant recommendations on his own home search, moving companies, temporary living, etc. Some other brokers I interfaced with at onset positioned his newness to area as a disadvantage but I regarded it as big asset / game changer.

Beth C. from Waynesville, NC

Lee was very professional and personable

Gary and Marie Martinsen

Lee Blair is truly a dedicated Real Estate agent. He takes the time to get to know his client and works tirelessly on their behalf. Should we ever need to purchase another property in the area Lee will be our go to guy!

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.
