Marsha Neese Real Estate Professional Agent in Downtown Asheville, 300 Executive Park Asheville NC 28801

team member since 2018

About Me

I spent my youth in the southern states of Arkansas, Texas, and Florida. As an adult, I spent more than 15 years in the rural Midwest, farming, raising horses, and fundraising for therapeutic riding facilities. While living on 100 acres and renovating every inch of an 1889 limestone house, I learned that hard work and vision can transform almost any type of property from the inside to the landscaping.

The next chapter of life allowed me to follow a dream and move West to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. While I loved the area, family was calling, and I settled back south, trading the Tetons for a mountain fix in the Appalachians and Smokies.

I first lived four years in downtown Asheville, enjoying the eclectic vibe. I am proud to say I dined at every eatery outside my doorstep! Early in 2018, I purchased a home on the east side and had a renewed sense of the emotional rollercoaster the process can be. It was a great reminder of what my clients experience and my empathy, while already heightened, became even more fresh.

Experience

My approach as a full-time real estate agent is to be a trusted advisor helping you make good decisions that result in successful transactions!

I love people, their stories, and this wonderful job that gives me the opportunity to connect with all kinds of people in all stages of home ownership, from buying their first home to selling their most recent. I am grateful to have past clients I can call friends.

As a previous luxury specialist for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in Asheville, I am excited to be at the best company in Western North Carolina! When you hire an agent, you also hire a company, and Beverly-Hanks matches my values and high standards while mirroring my philosophy of putting you first. Beverly-Hanks has all the tools for my business, and more importantly, for you.

There are many moving parts to a real estate transaction, and I am your project manager. I will help you eliminate any potential problems before they arise, and manage all the details along the way. I am proud of my high level of service smattered with a healthy dose of fun.

Bobby Hembree, Asheville

Marsha Neese was recommended by a real estate agent located in Greensboro, NC. Marsha was professional and knowledgable throughout the entire process of purchasing a house in Asheville. She listened to our criteria for a house and was available on short notice to show houses that we where interested in during a week visit in Asheville. After we decided on the house we wanted to purchase, Marsha was instrumental in our decision to proceed with the purchase of the house. After the initial inspection of the house (which Marsha was present for), she help coordinate many further inspections that we felt were necessary to alleviate any fears that we had regarding the purchase of this house. Marsha went above her duty as a realtor and if it had not been for her attention to detail and her willingness to oversee the inspections and contact various service providers, we would not have purchased this house. Marsha was extremely approachable, accessible, helpful and trustworthy. She listened to all of our concerns and promptly addressed any that we may had. Marsha corresponded via email, text, and telephone which made it very easy to contact her. There were lots of potential issues with this house and Marsha helped us with our decisions of how to deal with each matter. I have purchased many homes and I have dealt with many realtors in the past, none have been as fantastic as Marsha. We will definitely choose Marsha Neese as our Real Estate agent in the future as the need arrises.

Cynthia Johnson, Houston (purchase home in Asheville)

Right from the beginning I told Marcia Neese what I was looking for and she would send homes for me to consider but was not pushy in any way. She waited for me to show interest in something and made sure that I got in to see the home ASAP. I trusted her judgement and could tell that she had experience. I also trusted her to look out for me and she did. She has the negotiation skills that a great realtor needs and was able to get the home on my terms. I have to say that it was really fun working with Marcia. We laughed a lot. She was able to keep me calm even when I called her four times a day. As hard as the home buying process can be, I was sad when it was done. But VERY happy with my new home. Thanks Marcia. Yes, I absolutely would recommend Marcia Neese!!!

J. Johnston

The purchase of this home was such an important step for my young son and I in establishing some security and stability for ourselves. Marsha was so incredibly supportive, responsive, and on-point working with me to find a home that would provide that for us. Beyond being excellent at meeting expectations, what most impressed and touched me was Marsha's willingness to go above and beyond throughout the home buying process. She is an incredibly dedicated, well-informed, and deeply savvy realtor and I feel so grateful to have had her by my side as we found our home and a fresh start. Thank you, Marsha!

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.
