Lee Stepp
About Me
Lee is a Hendersonville native who joined Beverly-Hanks in 2005. Prior to joining Beverly-Hanks, Lee worked in the golf course industry as an assistant superintendant. He also worked in management and on special projects teams at Wilsonart International. Lee received his education through the Henderson County Public Schools System. He continued his education at Blue Ridge Community College and Appalachian State University where he concentrated on Criminal Justice. Lee conducts his business from the Hendersonville Beverly-Hanks & Associates office. While helping many different clients buy and sell homes, Lee by virtue of his lifestyle has a vast array of knowledge and experience in the various golfing communities in the area. Lee is currently a member of Etowah Valley Golf Club but is very familiar with all the local clubs in the area. So, if you're looking for that private club that has the "social" atmosphere or you're just an avid golfer that wants to play a challenging golf course without a lot of the extras he can help find the right fit for you.
Experience
Having been in Real Estate since 2005 I have experienced both high and low markets. Needless to say I learned a lot more during the down years and found ways to thrive during those times and remain a full time broker. I have gained the knowledge and experience needed to help both buyers and sellers make a smooth transition no matter what the circumstances. Part of that is the relationships that I have been fortunate enough to make over the years with local real estate attorneys, home inspectors, general contractors & handymen that have helped my clients home buying/selling process go smoothly!
Testimonials
Had faith before we started that Lee would sell my property. Although their were inherent difficulties with my property that hindered the sale, he kept me calm and confident throughout the entire process.
Stanley Giguere, Milton FL


We enjoyed working with Lee Stepp. He made the selling of our home very easy. Any concerns we may have had were readily addressed. He is a true professional.
David and June Jezierny - Etowah


Lee listened carefully to my explanations of what I needed and wanted and translated my input into homes to view that were closer and closer to my criteria until we found my "perfect" match. He was an excellent consultant with every decision in the process, providing much needed expertise and informed opinions while respecting my choices. His warm friendly personality and sense of humor are added bonuses that make him a joy to work with. His recommendations for mortgage processor and attorney have also been 5 star performers. I think Lee Stepp delivered top value for every penny of his commission. My friends are already asking with whom I worked to get this job done so well and so quickly. I am carrying Lee Stepp's business cards with me to give them. I have purchased a home several times in the past but always with my husband as a partner. This was my first time thrugh the process on my own. I really appreciated that Lee never pressured me in any regard and was always patient and supportive. The process was fun and enjoyable (mostly) and we got outstanding results!!!
Pat Abernethy, Hendersonville


Both my wife and I couldn't be more satisfied with our experience. Lee Stepp told us what he could sell our home for with a projected timeframe of 90 days. We got the exact amount he referenced and had us under contract in 60 days. He was always responsive to our inquiries and delivered.
Karey and Tonya Treadway, Arden


Lee Stepp was very professional and very accurate in evaluating our property. He handled all parts of the transaction without any problems.
Dewey Andrew Asheville


Lee Stepp, with the help of Beverly Hanks listed and placed our house under contract in less than two weeks. Lee was also quick and available to answer any questions that we encountered. He was very professional and in a world where we seldom see great customer service anymore he was top notch!!
Donna Smith Pisgah Forest


my husband and i really like Lee Stepp, he treated us with respect and we had a very fast sale and would recommend lee to anyone that wants to sell Real Estate
Mr and Mrs Paul McCray Fletcher NC


I used Mr. Stepp nearly a year ago for property that ended in me not buying the piece. Another opportunity came about and I did not hesitate in calling him. He was so helpful and understanding the first time, I didn't want anyone else handling my purchase. I have recommended his services to others because of my pleasant experience with him.
Ashley O'Rourke Saluda Nc


Lee Stepp was very helpful throughout the entire process of selling and purchasing my home. During the process of closing my house that I was selling Lee did everything in his power to help move things along when the buyers were dragging their feet. Lee did a great job communicating and keeping me in the loop with every little thing that was happening. I would fully recommend Lee Stepp to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Hendersonville, NC area.
Thomas Faircloth, Hendersonville NC


Lee was fantastic! The selling of this home and purchasing of our new home were happening in parallel and Lee exceeded our expectations with both homes.
Stambersky/Wakefield, NC


We were very happy and appreciative for Lee Stepp's help and leading through the house buying process. He made it easy, and he has been extremely helpful. I knew we had the best person for the job! We will definitely recommend him to our friends and family!
Emily Lynes Green, Mills River


He did a lot more than what is generally expected from a Realtor
Greg Raxter, Hendersonville, NC


Lee Step went 'above and beyond' my previous dealings with real estate professionals. He was professional, friendly and always accessible!
Kay Lazorek, 27 Spruce Court, Hilton Head Island,SC 22


What an incredible experience! As first time home buyers, my wife and I heard many horror stories from friends and family about the process of buying a home. Lee Stepp defied everyone of them. We enjoyed the entire process and had such a wonderful experience and ended up finding a wonderful home that fits our needs and will be a great house to begin raising our kids. Even when things didn't turn out the way we hoped, Lee kept us involved, encouraged, and optimistic. Lee is that broker that is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that the clients are happy and comfortable throughout the process! Day or night, weekday or weekend, Lee would always return my emails/texts/calls. He knows the area very well and made sure to understand exactly what we were looking for. We had to bring our infant son and 2 yr old daughter with us most times and Lee was not only patient with them but he was far beyond polite/friendly/professional/approachable. After the third viewing my daughter would even run up and hug his leg the minute we met. I can go on and on with positive feedback about our overall experience with Lee. We are so happy we were able to work with him. I will continue to enthusiastically recommend Lee to everyone I know!!! When we decide to buy a new house, Lee will certainly be the first person we call.
Shawn & Sarah McKinney, Etowah NC


We have relocated over 20 times and bought multiple homes in differing areas of the USA but frankly Lee Stepp stands out as simply the best agent we have ever dealt with. His thoroughness and knowledge which included liaising with the builder made the whole process go so much more smoothly and efficiently, yet always conscious of our cost parameters. We would strongly recommend Lee to anyone considering moving to WNC!
Gordon and Yvonne Stevenson, Hendersonville NC.


Both the agent and the company were extremely helpful, efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable at all times during the sale process. The agent (Lee Stepp), was always quick and concise when communicating new information regarding the status of the property. Great job! I would highly recommend this agent and company to any prospective buyer or seller. Lee Stepp is an awesome individual, both personally and professionally.
Roger Taylor, Owenton KY


Lee Stepp has true concern for his clients and always does what he says. Wonderful to work with because he's not just an agent, he is your friend as well

"Lee and Sonny have a level of professionalism and commitment that far exceeds those of other realtors we have worked with to sell the specail assets held by the bank. They are always prepared with thoughts and ideas of each specific property, but at the same time not afraid to say "let me do some more checking on that and get back to you". Most importantly, they always follow up with the answers. When we have issues that arise, one of them is always available by phone to take my call. They gladly shared their cell phone numbers with us and keep us abreast of developments with potential buyers""

"Sonny and Lee are both professional & personable. The did a super job listing our house and guiding us thorough the process. Great results, our homes sold quickly." Mike & Kathie Hornback
"Lee Stepp and his partner Sonny Iler provided us with exceptional service in finding the home of our dreams. Over the course of a year they provided us with listings that met our criteria at the time. When we had exhausted the homes that met the very specific requirements, they thought “outside the box” and came up with listings that we would not have otherwise considered. Within the next week we saw the house that we were destined to purchase. During the next two and one half months we tried to purchase the bank owned property but were being stymied by the bank. Lee and Sonny were instrumental in finally breaking the logjam and sheparding our bid to the bank. The bank required a close in 14 days. The expert assistance and planning of Lee and Sonny made this timeframe work, and we were prepared to close early. They showed the highest levels of patience and integrity in dealing with us and all other parties to the transaction. Lee and Sonny’s assitance did not stop when the deal was completed. They helped us find trades people and service providers to smooth the transition to our new home. We could not be happier with the service that they provided and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing real estate services."

Ask An Expert
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.
