Getting the Home You Want

GETTING THE HOME YOU WANT

Real estate is about so much more than four walls and a roof. It's about how a community really lives. It's about a lifestyle.

At Beverly-Hanks, we understand that 43% of buyers find the home they purchased online. That's why we make sure when it comes to your home search in WNC, we make easy the name of the game. Our website not only shows you the most comprehensive MLS listings in the area, but we go further by giving you information about relevant community and market information, including local schools, area videos, market research, and related properties.

Here's to finding your dream home!

Assessing Your Needs and Priorities

A successful real estate buying experience is dependent upon a proactive relationship with your Beverly-Hanks associate. Be ready for a lot of questions about your four main home buying priorities:

COMMUNITY: Schools, Environment, Livability, Utilities
PROPERTY CONDITION: Disclosures, Home Inspections, Lead-based Paint, Survey
FINANCIAL: Taxes, Home and Title Insurance, Appraisal, Mortgage Approval
MARKET: Recent Activity, Comparable Sales, Values, Supply/Demand

"Our agent found the perfect property at the right price even after two failed offers. His diligence allowed us to move directly into the home we purchased on the day of closing and continued to assist us even after closing." —Susan M. Ord, Nov. 2014

Research Tools Designed for You

Buyers shopping for real estate prefer different information sources during each stage of the home buying process. We provide a suite of search and research tools to provide as much or as little assistance as you need.

Whether you are casually driving through town, visiting open houses, or at home thinking about a lifestyle change, it's all right here:

Navigating the Beverly-Hanks Website

No matter how large or small, every property has a story to tell. Our website shows detailed information on each property, professional-quality photos, community information, and market updates.

HERE’S WHAT OUR 1,000,000 ANNUAL WEBSITE USERS FIND:

Community Finder

We know that finding the right community is as important —or maybe even more important —than the right number of beds and baths. That’s why our exclusive 5-Step Community Finder helps you narrow your search from 100s to a manageable few communities that match your lifestyle and needs.

Property Search

When it comes to searching for your perfect home in WNC, easy is the name of the game. But once you’ve found what you’re looking for, we know you want it all in one place. We’ve built a search that returns detailed property information AND relevant school, financial, and community information—ALL with lots of photos and video.

Property Detail Page

Our property detail pages have lots of photos, engaging videos describing what it’s like to live in each community, and a thorough way to dig deeper by referencing outside websites like neighborhood associations.
Learn as much as you can about your dream home and its community without being there in person.
