Rhonda Phillips
About Me
As a lifelong resident of Western North Carolina, rural living and small community is what Rhonda loves best. She is passionate about sustainable living and has practiced it for the three decades she and her husband have owned their seventy acre farm. Rhonda is well versed in traditional "homesteading" practices that are being rediscovered today like, organic gardening, canning, and raising livestock. She enjoys typical outdoor Western North Carolina mountain adventures with her three children and three young grandsons.
After a long and successful career as an educator, Real Estate was a natural choice for the next phase of Rhonda's life. Having been surrounded by family members who are experienced Realtors, contractors, and even Real Estate inspectors, Rhonda was always very interested in the housing industry and eagerly sought to establish her own Real Estate career.
Experience
After thirty years in education, Rhonda’s transition from teaching to real estate was an easy one. In the same way Rhonda taught each student by meeting their individual needs, Rhonda also serves each client by their individual needs. Educated in the sciences makes data analysis of the market part of her daily routine and keeps Rhonda intune with the inventory of available property. Also, being a mountain native coupled with her background in Environment Science, Rhonda gives her clients a unique perspective on locations and topography that few agents can offer. Listening to clients express their needs, whether it be to find the perfect riverside location or to sell the family estate, Rhonda will tenaciously set out to hit the mark!

Rhonda Phillips was an excellent listener, very empathetic, extremely knowleagble about the area and it's real estate, hard-working, and encouraging. She was genuinely interested in putting my own needs first. I have the greatest repect for both her integrity and her kindness. We had a business relationship, but I left my home sale thinking of her as my friend. Although I did not have much immediate interaction with the office staff, they seemed to be both efficient and very knowledgeable.

My experience selling my property with Rhonda Phillips was excellent. Having never done this before, I was very nervous and uneasy about making such a large move and Rhonda took care of everything and made it a very comfortable experience. She even took the time to pick me up at the car dealership and take me to the notary's office and get the contracts to FedEx for the closing date. She is very knowledgeable and could not have been more helpful

I loved Rhonda's use of data - I didn't feel like we were guessing at anything. Rhonda posts her houses to her social media, and I think public trust has resulted from that. It's common practice, I know, but with the volume of homes she sells- it builds trust. Simply put, she is incredible.

I had a great and flawless experience working with Rhonda Phillips. She is highly knowledgeable in her field and went above and beyond to get my house on the market and sold. My house was under contract in two days and Rhonda was on top of items that needed to be done for closing. I live hours away from the house I was selling and was rarely there, but never worried that things weren't getting done. I would highly recommend Rhonda Phillips and the Beverly-Hanks team who made our transaction so easy and smooth.

Rhonda was absolutely phenominal to work with. From the beginning she was well organized and willing to answer any questions. She knows the area where we sold our home and also knows how to "work" the market, listing our house on a the appropriate web pages to get more views than just on the Beverly Hanks site. She was calm and understanding, throughout everything. She was punctual, easy to contact and timely. We could not have asked for a better realtor to represent us in our sale. We WILL use her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Rhonda and I worked together previously and I trusted her and knew she would do a great job. Rhonda was a great help. She arranged the inspection and made many phone calls to various individuals to get this house closed. Rhonda did a wonderful job. She was awesome to work with. I could always depend on her to complete anything that needed to be accomplished. Rhonda even took time out of her vacation and time with her daughter and granddaughter to make phone calls and complete some tasks that needed to be done. I would definitely recommend Rhonda to everyone that needs a real estate agent.

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.
