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 at 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.
If you are buying or selling a home, land, or a luxury listing, or you’re looking to move to the mountains, give me a call. 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.
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 or find that buyer—I can be of assistance!

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 to 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 daughters. Diana is a business graduate of Appalachian State University and mother to three. Diana and husband, Travis, own Newbridge Tire in Woodfin. Marisa is a graduate of Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College with a degree in cosmetology and is a designer with Aabani Salon in Weaverville.
I am a family man and cherish my time with my wife, our children, and especially our grandchildren. You might find me taking walks with our dog, Tata, or maybe out working in the yard, as gardening is a passion as well. I am also an avid culinary hobbyist, enjoy creating high-quality aesthetic dishes, and love the time spent in the kitchen or around the outdoor grill or smoker.
You might find me in the mountains hiking to a waterfall or cruising the parkway with the top down. 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. Or eating at world-class restaurants with our family and friends, 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!

Why aren’t all buyers able to buy?
In markets with less than six months of inventory, competition between buyers can be intense. To elevate their standing with a seller, buyers will often provide a pre-qualification letter. In a pre-qualification, lenders don't verify the information provided by a buyer. Pre-approval, on the other hand, involves third-party verification. After an offer, I verify that a prospective buyer is pre-approved for the contract amount and that closing in the expected time period—usually 30 to 45 days—won’t be an issue.
