Robert Woodson
About Me
I have deep roots in Western North Carolina. I was born in Asheville, raised on a horse farm, and currently live in the Reems Creek Valley area of Weaverville close to property that goes back in my family over 150 years. I am a true local and know these mountains well.
I am a veteran of the US Navy and have traveled many parts of the world with my wife, Marie, through her father’s travel agency, Wilcox World Travel and Tours. Marie and I have two wonderful daughters. Diana is a business graduate of Appalachian State University and mother to three. Diana and her husband, Travis, own Newbridge Tire, Brake & Alignment in Woodfin, NC. Marisa is a graduate of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College with a degree in cosmetology and mother to our newest grand-daughter. Marisa is employed by Fresh Air Spa and Salon in Weaverville, NC.
I am a family man and cherish time spent with my wife, our children, and especially our grandchildren. I am also an avid culinary hobbyist and enjoy creating high-quality aesthetic dishes. I love being in the kitchen or around the outdoor grill or smoker with family and friends. I also love digging in the dirt as gardening is a passion as well.
You might find me in the mountains hiking to a waterfall or cruising the parkway. We could be at a sporting event with one of the grandkids, or possibly in the city or another close-by small town relishing the talents of local artists, musicians, and theater. We could be dining at a world-class restaurant with our family and friends or indulging in our rapidly growing live music and brewery scene.
Over the years, God has blessed me with the distinct ability of being able to connect with people from all walks of life and demographics, and being able to look at any client's needs from their own point of view. One of my mottos has always been “If I don't have an answer; I have a large and knowledgeable team behind me that will.”
I’m living the dream - let me help you find that perfect match!
Experience
I am no stranger to doing what it takes to get the job done.
Before becoming a full-time real estate agent, I spent 38 years in outside executive sales with Blue Ridge Printing Co., a fast-paced, internationally recognized commercial print company focused on print collateral for the high-end real estate market. In that position, I developed a great passion for real estate and a knack for homing in on the specific needs of my clients.
I am adept at cutting-edge marketing strategies and technology that lessen the time your property is on the market and give your home greater exposure than the competition. If you are buying or selling a home, land, or a luxury property, or you’re looking to move to the mountains, give me a call.
I am a dedicated professional willing to do what it takes to lead you through closing and then some. My work ethic revolves around great care and diligence. I have an eager, assertive attitude and humble manner. I also have a proven track record with a detail-oriented approach, and I’m extremely motivated to help both buyers and sellers find creative solutions and see their dreams come true. I put forth every effort to complete a transaction the right way, the first time around.
If you want to know what market conditions are like in any one of our surrounding neighborhoods or communities—or better yet, you want me to help you locate your dream home or find that buyer—I can be of assistance!

Testimonials
I highly recommend Robert Woodson to anyone who is buying or selling a property and wants an agent who will advocate on his client's behalf. Robert made suggestions of places to see, was direct and realistic in his evaluations of properties, and when I had put in an offer, went out of his way to make sure that my interests were represented in contract negotiations and at the closing.

We have purchased multiple properties over the years, but we have never found a more organized, knowledgeable, and personable real estate agent than Robert Woodson. He was always available to us, very attentive to deadlines, and kept all parties informed. Our property search was conducted from across the country and we anticipated a difficult process. Robert removed those barriers through his effective use of technology and made the process simple. We were only able to visit Western North Carolina for a few days after Thanksgiving. Robert expertly organized tours of 13 homes over two days and quickly made arrangements for a second tour of the house we ultimately purchased. After that, everything from offer to closing proceeded efficiently thanks to Robert’s organizational skills. We highly recommend Robert Woodson. He knows the WNC market very well and dedicated himself to finding the right home for us!

I would highly recommend Robert Woodson and Beverly Hanks Realty. Being new to the area and relatively unfamiliar with the neighborhoods I found Robert to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced. The entire experience has been a joy and I look forward to working with your firm again.

Robert Woodson is amazing! He was given a very difficult task in finding a home for me and my husband as well as a home for my parents with both of our specific requirements and he did just that!! He was able to help us both find homes in the same neighborhood with a closed deal within a month of each other. Robert was always so helpful in explaining what was going to happen and talk us through the whole process. I will recommend Robert Woodson to all of my friends and family! Throughout our home buying process Robert was more than just a realtor, he was a mentor to us buying our first home as well as a friend.

Robert was truly a knowledgeable and professional broker. We had run into some unexpected repairs to be done before closing. Robert coordinated landscaping/drainage repairs as well as contractors to repair damage to home from start to finish. Without Robert’s contacts and business demeanor we never would have completed the work in a timely fashion. Robert kept us informed of progress in real time regarding repairs and with ongoing negotiations with potential buyers. Our sale price exceeded expectations and our final walkthrough was handled by Robert. Our expectations were exceeded from start to finish!

From our first meeting with Robert Woodson we felt comfortable that we were dealing with a true professional. He walked us through each step of the process, communicated with us in a timely fashion, gave us recommendations on other professionals to use for packing and moving. He was there every step of the way and couldn’t have done more for us! We would happily use him again!

Robert recently assisted my family in selling a piece of land. He made sure that we understood every step of the process, from signing a contract with him to signing the closing documents with the buyer. There were a few changes that were needed along the way and Robert communicated to us as soon as he knew there might be changes and how we might be impacted. Once the changes to the contract were needed, he made sure we understood the changes, our options and the outcome of the changes. He went by my mom’s home several times to make sure she understood everything and he even drove to my brother’s place of employment so that he could sign a revised document. Robert is very easy to work with, while maintaining a level of integrity and compassion for his work and his customers. I would highly recommend him for any real estate services.

I called Robert Woodson to inquire about a property he had listed. He informed me that the property was under contract with multiple offers; however, he spoke at length with me concerning the area and offered to send information via mail as well as set up a search program for us as we were out of state. I found him personable and professional and chose to look no further for a realtor. My husband and I are relocating from Texas. Robert listened to our wants and needs in a home and community and steered us toward or away from areas that fit them or would not. His knowledge of the area was exceedingly helpful. We are both actively working and are unable to travel to North Carolina multiple times to find a home -especially in a hot market where houses have offers in hours, attend inspections, and meet with engineers etc. Robert represented us multiple times when we could not be present, meeting the schedule of others involved in the process. We cannot say enough good things about Robert. We trusted him enough to put offers in on homes we had not seen personally. While we hit snags along the way with failed inspections and failed offers, we were able to find a home that we visited in person that felt like "the one". Being shell shocked from previous deals, Robert was patient with us and went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied with the home before finalizing the offer. We are excited to have just closed on our beautiful WNC home and consider Robert Woodson not just a GREAT realtor, but a friend we feel fortunate to have made.

Robert was just all around kind, helpful and good to us. He was a fantastic guide through this experience, and was super knowledgable and prompt and always had our interests at heart. We are new to the area so he was instrumental in helping us understand the region and helping us narrow down where we wanted to look for homes. I would happily and enthusiastically refer Robert Woodson as a realtor to anyone, especially newcomers to the area. Thanks Robert!!

He is direct, honest and very detail oriented day-in and day-out. Robert shines as a communicator with other agents and their buyers.

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.
