About Me
Originally from a small town in Massachusetts, I moved to Asheville in 2001 and found my new home. I love living and working in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
When I’m not with clients, I can be found hanging out with my wife and two teenage boys in the great outdoors (biking, hiking, fishing, camping—you name it!), at one of the many delicious local restaurants Asheville has to offer, or watching one of my sons compete at a cross country meet or fencing bout. Travel is also a passion of mine; Barcelona, Spain and Palenque, Mexico have been two of my favorite trips so far. I also enjoy gardening and just relaxing at home with my family, including our sweet black lab, Callie, and spirited cat, Switchy.
"I'm not just in the business of houses—I'm in the business of dreams in the shape of houses." —Phil Dunphy, Modern Family
Experience
Integrity, communication, and attention to detail are the core values I bring to work every day to help you through your home buying journey. I promise to make the journey as fun and painless as possible.
15 years of experience as a local small business owner taught me the value of excellent communication, a strong work ethic, and positive client relationships. I enjoy educating and advocating for my clients throughout the real estate buying and selling process so that you are navigating this experience with the information and insight you need to achieve your goals. I have your back, and promise you'll even have a little fun!
In my very first year in real estate, I was named a "Top Producer". Now at Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks, I have even more tools and support, and the experience of multiple top producers in my area is available to me.
Prior to my life as a local business owner, I spent many years in the service and hospitality industry. There, I learned the importance of providing stellar customer service, the foundation of which is listening, attention to detail, and going above and beyond for my clients. I also spent a few years in the construction industry, learning about home building techniques and the various systems that make up a house. So, whether you are a first-time home buyer or seasoned investor, I have the experience, knowledge, and problem solving ability to help you reach your real estate goals!

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.
