Sara Duque
About Me
I joined Beverly-Hanks in June 2014, fulfilling a desire to work in real estate since I first obtained my license in 1988. I believe that my different roles in life enable me to be flexible, to multi-task, and to be creative in a way that serves your home and property buying and selling needs. I am a local graduate of East Henderson High School and have worked in consumer financing as a branch manager in Hendersonville, NC, a preschool teacher at Nativity Preschool and Kindergarten in Arden, NC. I initiated and assisted with the chess program at Avery's Creek Elementary School and Valley Springs Middle School which enabled many of the students to go on to become State Champions. I am an active member of the Asheville Board of Realtors. All of this has enhanced my understanding that life is a journey, not a destination, and has bumps and turns along the way.
Being a native of Henderson County, I remember Four Seasons Boulevard being only two lanes, cruising Main Street as a teenager and air conditioning homes was optional. Even though some things have changed, others remain the same. The icy rivers, beautiful vistas, and autumn foliage continue to take my breath away.
My daughter graduated from TC Roberson and Ole Miss in Oxford Mississippi and is currently employed with Omni in Dallas, TX. My son graduated from TC Roberson and the University of NC at Chapel Hill, NC, and is currently employed with Amazon in Washington, DC. I enjoy walking, biking, sunny beaches, traveling to new places, the beauty of fall, and the smell of crisp leaves. I would love to have the opportunity to help you with your real estate needs.

Anyone who is looking for a real estate agent could not possibly find anyone better than Sara Duque. She wouldn't stop trying until she found the right home for me. She truly cares and it shows. If I ever buy another home I will call Sara because I know I can count on her to go above and beyond what anyone else would. Thank God for Sara Duque!!!

Sara was recommended to us and we are so thankful! Sara was beyond patient and helpful in all aspects of our sale. She chose an excellent photographer to take the pictures of our home and made perfect suggestions to present it in the best light. No doubt her online advertising was the reason we had instant and multiple showings! She was all of the above and we will enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home! The people at the front desk were always gracious and welcoming. Because this was our parents' dream home, alot of emotion was involved. Sara was very sensitive to that and very patient.

In the past, Sara Duque had been a co-worker with me in other venues. She has a history of being professional, organized and thorough. Working with her in her role as a broker was no different. Sara is professional and went way beyond the call of duty to carry out her job. We were in a situation where four different realtors were involved in three transactions. Sara was the only one that kept us up to date during the trying situations of orchestrating the entire process. She was able to keep communications open so that we could be correctly informed. Sara was the only broker to keep the process in action and bring to completion. Sara Duque was the only person that maintained our insanity in a difficult situation. Thanks to her thoroughness, she was able to keep us apprised of what was going on in the process. Without her, we would have been clueless that our timeline was being disrupted. Two of the other realtors took leave during the process of our closings, and left Sara to take care of our needs for the closing processes. Thank you Sara Duque for your professionalism, your thoroughness and knowledge of your business, your tenacity to find the answers, and for your bright attitude and friendliness. Thank you for going beyond your call of duty and for being our realtor. You're the best!

Sara's local knowledge and insightfulness made our move to this area much more enjoyable. Her "must see" locations are still on the "go to" list when company is in town. We were referred to Beverly Hanks by our listing agent in New Hampshire. While we did not actually select Sara Duque, we could not have asked for a better realtor.

We knew Sara from a previous job she had, liked her personality and thought she would be great to work with. That proved to be very true. She was excellent. She could not have been any more helpful. When we ran into a few problems with the property we were buying, she always helped work them out. She helped guide us through the selling process. She had us immediately involved seeing properties. She very quickly planned an open house. She was constantly in touch with us and everything seemed to move smoothly. Sara made a stressful time less stressful and fun. Best of all we sold our house in less than a month and found a property we just love. We thought Sara Duque was an excellent agent!

She was able to deal very effectively with the buyers & their realtor who were often difficult & unreasonable. She also wields a mean caulking gun! She always kept us in the loop during the entire sales process & was accessible even when out of town. She was easy to work with & didn't waste our time. She was as dedicated to getting the deal closed (in a professional way) as we were. We are still working with Sara on the purchase of our new home & she has been equally as good as on our sale.

Working with Sara was an overall good experience. We truly felt like we were her main priority and that she was always there for us every step of the way which was very comforting as this was our first home purchase. We were pretty picky and walked through a total of 46 homes before we found the one but Sara hung in there with us and was always there to encourage us.

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.
