After 15 years living and working in the hollows and hills of our mountains, I know and care about the people and places that make Western North Carolina so special.
I grew up in a family that works in real estate in various capacities. Now, my partnership with Dianne Rule closes a wide circle of time, interest, and heritage. I am honored to serve as a full-time REALTORⓇ alongside her.
Together, we do extensive work relocating medical professionals and families to Asheville and Hendersonville. Along with home buyer and listing referrals from our diverse local community, this work gives me the opportunity to listen deeply in order to draw out the stories behind the story and help you move forward with confidence. It is a natural extension of my previous work in health care as a physical therapist, and as a leader and program developer in local nonprofits. I am driven by a desire to unearth and explore the WHY under the WHAT in order to create a meaningful plan that is workable despite the whirlwind of life.
Honesty, integrity, compassion, and justice are foundational values that influence and steer every interaction I have and decision I make. I am thankful for the opportunity to share those interactions with you.

Outside of my work, I’m usually racing to keep up with my beautiful spouse and our four kids as we intentionally live the life we choose, exploring these ancient Blue Ridge Mountains and engaging in our dynamic community. In between family dinner and morning carpool, in the still hours before and after the sleep reserved for parents, I can be found dreaming up my next meal to cook, reading, practicing yoga, walking in the woods by a headlamp or the moonlight, or just sitting quietly feeling grateful for the fullness of life.

An amazing night testing at Sun Soo taekwondo. My young practice there has become a powerful part of my life, and I'm glad I was able to share the night with these two Mighty Tigers, and grateful for the deep support and encouragement from @greatestworth.

What is my home worth?
Ask An Expert
How quickly will a home sell?
One of the first questions I ask sellers is how soon they would like to sell. With a timetable in mind, we’ll consider price, condition, and location to determine how it compares to other homes on the market. Homes that are properly priced for the market will sell faster. Overprice by even 10% and only 30% of house hunters will even consider your home before eliminating it online. Average days on market and the months of inventory in a community gives both buyers and sellers a sense of how quickly homes are turning over.

Sam Rule was so patient and helpful as my wife and I went through the process of determining just what type of investment we wanted to make in real estate here in beautiful western North Carolina. We searched all over the region, covering many counties and small communities. And, we changed our priorities, must-haves, and "wish list" items along the way as we learned more about the area and what it has to offer. Throughout it all, Sam was incredibly helpful, always available, and shared his knowledge and expertise freely to guide our decision process. In the end, we found the most amazing log cabin that we are thrilled to own. The process required a lot of diligence, and multiple offers in a fairly hot market, but it was worth it! Thanks Sam!! We really appreciate everything you did to provide service, support (and a voice of reason) on our journey!
