About Me

I am the son of a real estate broker, Harry Iler, Jr., who was a successful agent for years in Hendersonville and the surrounding area. I entered the real estate business in late 2003 after retiring early from a law enforcement career. I successfully listed and sold real estate until I entered leadership with the firm at the end of 2013. I have acting in a leadership role leading several offices for the firm. My roll is noncompeting with our team of agents, meaning I don't list and sell real estate in competition with them. My role is coach and mentor, and overseeing the day to day operational needs of the offices and assisting agents with contracts, system tools, and general real estate needs.

If you are interested in a real estate career or if you are an experienced agent looking for a fresh approach to your current real estate career, do hesitate to contact me. You will be impressed with our business model, support, training and the SUITE of tools provided for our team.

Thanks,

Sonny

Experience

I'm dedicated to ensuring that our agents provide the best possible service to each of our clients and customers. That's why at Beverly-Hanks & Associates, our Managing Brokers do not actively market and sell real estate.

Our managers are here for one purpose-- to support our broker associates as they work to best assist you. If I can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert “Sonny Iler and his partner Lee Stepp provided us with exceptional service in finding the home of our dreams. Over the course of a year they provided us with listings that met our criteria at the time. When we had exhausted the homes that met the very specific requirements, they thought “outside the box” and came up with listings that we would not have otherwise considered. Within the next week we saw the house that we were destined to purchase. During the next two and one half months we tried to purchase the bank owned property but were being stymied by the bank. Sonny and Lee were instrumental in finally breaking the logjam and sheparding our bid to the bank. The bank required a close in 14 days. The expert assistance and planning of Sonny and Lee made this timeframe work, and we were prepared to close early. They showed the highest levels of patience and integrity in dealing with us and all other parties to the transaction. Sonny and Lee’s assitance did not stop when the deal was completed. They helped us find trades people and service providers to smooth the transition to our new home. We could not be happier with the service that they provided and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing real estate services.”  Bert Hall & Kate Stephen, home purchase Waterford Lake, Fairview, NC.

We didn't hire Sonny because of the company that he is affiliated with, we hired Sonny because of Sonny. Everything he said he would do, he did. Being long distance from the properties, Sonny took care of the properties like they were his. He was always worried about every little detail. I would highly recommend Sonny to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate in the Asheville/Hendersonville, NC area. Paul Solomon, Strand Development, Florida

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.
