Intro paragraph:
Buying a home in Asheville can feel overwhelming — limited inventory, fast-moving listings, older homes with quirks, and big decisions that don’t always come with clear answers.
As a licensed real estate broker and professional interior designer, I help buyers move through the process with confidence. My role is to help you understand not just what a home is, but what it could be — and whether it truly supports your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals.
Why Design Insight Matters
When Buying in Asheville
Many Asheville homes weren’t built with modern layouts in mind. Charm is everywhere — but so are tight kitchens, awkward additions, and “potential” that’s hard to visualize.
This is where design-informed buyer representation makes a difference.
I help you:
See past surface finishes to understand layout potential
Identify smart renovation opportunities (and red flags)
Avoid overpaying for cosmetic updates that don’t add real value
Evaluate homes based on how you’ll actually live in them
You don’t need to be a designer — you just need one on your side.
Asheville Buyers I Commonly Work With
First-time buyers navigating an unfamiliar market
Buyers relocating to Asheville or Western NC
Clients purchasing older or character homes
Buyers considering light renovations or future upgrades
Second-home buyers and lifestyle-driven purchasers
Investors seeking design-savvy guidance (non-STR or STR-curious)
THE BUYER PROCESS
Connection Call & Strategy
We start with a conversation — your goals, budget, timeline, and what matters most to you. This helps shape a focused, realistic search from day one.
2. Thoughtful Home Search
I help you evaluate homes beyond the listing description, considering:
Layout flow and functionality
Natural light and orientation
Renovation feasibility
Long-term livability and resale value
3. Confident Offers & Negotiation
When the right home comes along, I guide you through pricing strategy, offer structure, and negotiation — grounded in Asheville market realities.
4. Due Diligence with Design Perspective
During inspections, I help you understand what’s cosmetic, what’s structural, and what’s worth addressing now versus later.
Rooted in Asheville & Western North Carolina
I live and work in Asheville, and my buyer guidance reflects real, local understanding — not generic advice.
That includes insight into:
Neighborhood character and pricing trends
Older housing stock and common renovation considerations
Mountain-specific factors like slope, drainage, and access

My goal is to help you buy a home that fits — not just one that checks boxes.
