Mike Kelleher Real Estate Professional Agent in Downtown Asheville, 300 Executive Park Asheville NC 28801

team member since 2016

About Me

I grew up in New Jersey and ended up in Charleston, SC, where I lived for nine years before moving to Asheville with my wife in 2015. Trading in the Lowcountry for the Mountains may seem like a silly idea, but after living here we have learned why people love it here so much. Between the people, the music, the food, the nature, and the beer, we are very happy with our decision.

When I’m not busy selling real estate, you’ll most likely find me on a golf course, playing live music, seeing live music, mountain biking, cooking or walking my dogs.

Experience

I’ve been in your shoes before, as both a buyer and a seller of real estate, and I understand how overwhelming the process can be. I also understand how important it is to have someone who you can trust to walk you through the process and to answer your questions along the way. As your professional real estate agent, you can count on me to be direct, punctual, thorough, and reliable while helping you attain your goals.

From my ten years working in high-end resort operations at Kiawah Island Golf Resort and the Omni Grove Park Inn, I know what it takes to provide superior customer service. Working with high-profile guests has taught me how to solve problems quickly, how to anticipate needs, and how to communicate clearly, especially under stress.

I want to make your real estate experience as seamless as possible because I love seeing you satisfied at the end of your transaction. If you are selling your home, we will do this in part through current technology, including social media, drone videography, and digital marketing. If you are buying, we will use the Beverly-Hanks Market Research Center to find the perfect home for your needs.

Mike Kelleher made our home buying experience simple and pleasant. Would look forward to working with him again in the future.

Chuck Hannon, Arden

Having purchased numerous houses in past years, I have never met a real estate agent, that worked harder then Mike. He was perfect in every detail of the purchase of our house. He never said no to us with regard to any request, that we had, and gave us excellent advice on many questions ,that came up during our search for a home. Lastly, he negotiated the deal with the other broker , who was totally unprofessional, in the most upstanding and professional way.

Pete Policastro, Fort Lauderdale

Mike was great throughout the entire process! Very professional. We would recommend him to anyone and would definitely work with him again in the future.

Lauren Heeke, Asheville NC

Mike is an outstanding agent. I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing real estate services.

Larry & Sharon Gardner, Canton, NC

Mike is a first class agent who understands the overall market, but more importantly your individual needs as a home buyer/seller. He was available at any time/hour we needed anything. Overall, it was a great experience. This was our 1st home so obviously this was the 1st time we went though the process of selling a home. Under contract in 8 days and Mike took it all the way though closing. Selling a home this quick at a profit was a blessing. Mike set-up an Open House the first weekend the house was on the market and that was all it took. The ease of which he made the process was incredible. I would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Asheville area. He's an excited, passionate and knowledgeable agent who "get's" it on a down-to-Earth basis. No regrets other's then I didn't relocate within the same area to have him assist with purchasing our new home.

Jim & Jessica - Asheville, NC

Mike was very knowledgeable and involved in helping us find a home that met our circumstances. He is also very familiar with the Asheville area, which was important to us since we were moving in from out of area. Mike was available, prompt with relies to our questions and a great resource throughout the entire process. When we ran into trouble during the financing process Mike advocated for us and helped navigate the situation. Buying a house is not something most of us do often and Mike understood that and helped us every step of the way. I came to Mike with very specific needs for myself and my family since my parents and my family were looking to buy property together. He was patient and helpful, looking for properties that met our unique needs. When the property we bid on did not appraise at the expected price he then helped us negotiate a new price and helped us navigate a long and complicated financing process. I cannot thank Mike enough for his assistance and would recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor in the Asheville area.

Jennifer Wells, Asheville

as stated before, he is the best.

I previously worked with Mike Mike continued to stay in contact, offering month gifts from LOLO. When it came time to see a home I was interested in, we thought of Mike first. He sends us gifts and we had a positive experience from our last purchase

Doug Abernethy. Weaverville

Mike was very patient with our house buying experience, as it took us over a year to find ourselves the right property in this market. Mike was always game to go view any property, and provided his professional opinion when needed. Mike is empathetic, always flexible, and extremely professional. Mike was diligent about truly understanding our needs and what we were looking for in a property; I highly recommend Mike Kelleher.

Amy Yeomans, Swannanoa

Mike was referred to me by another Beverly Hanks broker who was on vacation when I called - he gave me Mike's name and number. Mike exceeded my expectations in all ways! He's a "keeper". Mike's sense of humor and kindness really showed through during the days we toured houses. I actually enjoyed his company and valued his input. With every bump in the road, Mike stepped up to the plate and smoothly calmed me, answered my questions and took care of business.

Susan H, Brooklyn, NY and now Asheville NC

Mike was great to work with and easily navigated through rough spots created by the seller

Doug Abernethy— Weaverville

I have bought and sold many homes in my life and he is the best realtor I have ever used. I had a lot of emotions involved with the selling of this home and needed physical help with some or it and he handled all of it with the highest level of professionalism possible. Without his willingness to go the extra mile, this house may not have been sold at all. Not only did it sell, it sold in less than 3 months and for 70k more than I paid for it. Could not recommend him any higher!

Thomsson, Ann

Michael Kelleher was prompt, accurate, friendly, tireless and amazingly patient with us as we navigated a new city and new real estate expectations in search of the right home at the right time. He never hesitated to provide prompt and accurate responses to all our questions and made welcome suggestions that enhanced our buying experience. We hope our friends from Virginia will want to move here so we can recommend Mike Kelleher to them. We know they'll be delighted with the service he provides.

David Winship and Martha deJarnette

Mike was great to work with. He knows the area and market well. He always made himself available to us when we had a question or wanted to see a property. He was always quick to respond even in the evenings and weekends. We were first time buyers and he walked us through everything and made us feel really comfortable. I would highly recommend him.

Amanda Purcell, Swannanoa

Mary Burke-Pitts Asheville nc

Moving to a new state can be overwhelming and my purchase was a little complicated, but Mike Kelleher went above and beyond to make it less stressful for me. He took care of details that he most definitely didn't have to, was always easy to reach, and was extremely genuine. He took an interest in my family and was always super personable. By far the most helpful realtor I have ever worked with.

Dawn McKinney, Asheville, NC

Mike did a great job! Eazy smooth closing

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.
