Testimonials

We were fortunate in being referred to Sara Champion. Her expertise was reflected in the ease with which our purchase was made. We would work with her again, should the need arise and wouldn't hesitate to refer her to others. I gave the highest rating on every category you listed. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Sara!

Sara is a seasoned professional and was quite helpful in working through the myriad details of selling our home and subsequently buying another. She had our interests at heart and really worked diligently to see the process through to close. When Sara came to look at my home, she advised that she had a potential buyer in mind. She arranged for the potential buyer to see our home and a subsequent negotiation led to a successful sale in a very short period of time.

Sara did an outstanding job under very difficult circumstances. She managed the entire process, overseeing groundhog wrangling to scheduling all repairs required by buyers when I wasn't able to. I truly doubt anyone could have done better!! Our home sold in less than three days for over asking!!! Can't ask for better than that!!!! Sara was tops in all areas. A real professional!!!

Sara came highly recommended by friends. I contacted her a couple of years ago to ask what should be done to my property in order to list it. I appreciated her taking the time when I was not yet ready to sell. Loved working with her! She was so helpful and accessible, and she always had time for my questions.

Sara is a consummate professional yet very friendly. she handled everything so well from on line pictures to answering our many, many questions any time. our first buyers withdrew their offer and she handled that very well and helped us deal with it and fortunately she had made sure we had an official back up offer which worked out very well for us without a lot of hassle. we really enjoyed working with Sara in all aspects of the sale. we were very happy with the whole process and recommend Sara to any friends who might be selling or buying a house.

I want to echo all of my comments in this survey. Sara handled every detail professionally while still being a joy to work with. I know that had I been in Pisgah Forest we would have had fun planning together to sell my house. But I am stuck in California and Sara still made it work and made it enjoyable. Thank you so much Sara!

From the first conversation that my wife and I had with Sara, we knew that her experience as a realtor and her interest in working with us were both going to be a benefit for us as we considered our future home. Sara was always responsive to our questions and concerns. We currently live over 500 miles away from Brevard, but her quick attention to our needs made this distance a non-issue. Sara went to bat for us on several issues discovered during a home inspection. She clearly understood the inspection issues and she explained them to the listing agent. Through careful and effective communications, Sara was able to have several of these issues addressed by the listing agent and sellers. Well done, Sara!! My wife and I drove from Maryland to NC to meet with Sara for a one-day 5-house visit. She was well-prepared and helped us prioritize the homes before we began. We ended up purchasing the second home she showed us. Her easy going nature and experience made the day go by quickly, even though it was a busy day.

When we were looking for property in the Wester NC area we by chance made contact with Sara Champion. She made our search and eventual purchase an easy and enjoyable process. She is the most knowledgeable and detailed realtor that I have had the pleasure to work with. Sara covered every detail and found the property that checked each box on our list. After the home inspection was completed she had prices on repairs to assist in allowance negotiations and worked out the necessary details with the listing agent. We would highly recommend Sara to friend and associates.

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.
