Raymond Rainey
About Me
Raymond is an Atlanta native who grew up enjoying city life, as well as unwinding in the Cohutta Wilderness in North Georgia. So when he and his wife Julie decided to start a family they searched North Georgia and Western North Carolina extensively for the perfect, small but vibrant mountain town. All of their criteria was met in Brevard NC. His career began in Property Management and moved to Real Estate sales in 2004. Now with two energetic sons, three horses, one dog and the perfect mini-farm, Raymond and his family enjoy hiking, biking, camping and horse back riding in Pisgah National Forest or Dupont State forest. Raymond says "The quality of life here is unmatched. Let me help you find your perfect mountain property!"

Raymond has a wealth of knowledge in the Brevard area to help us with our home search! The entire process from search to close was pretty quick and easy, we were fully versed in our comps and Raymond gave us some great insights throughout the process. My wife and I greatly appreciate all the help and love our new home!

Ray, very patiently, spent about 5 months driving my wife and I around western NC. He never complained and he always made time. Our goal was to find something where we could age in place; we don't want to move again. When we first started searching here we liked the idea of living around Sapphire, then we wanted something closer to amenities. We liked Brevard, of course, and the nearby areas were nice but it was difficult for us to settle on one area due to home availability. We looked everywhere out here. Ray just kept saying "okay, let's go see it!" We felt so bad because the poor man kept driving us around the state to see a home. Finally, we decided to visit the houses on our time and if we liked it we would ask Ray for a tour. This helped quite a bit on both ends. Mr. Ray entertained every one of our home options, locations, needs and wants and was always polite and respectful, he was professional and patient. We feel like it wasn't easy for him at times and we may have made him pull his hair out...but he stuck with us without one negative word. Thanks Ray!

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.
