Brokering a real estate transaction is, for most people, handing their largest investment they own. If you're in need of a broker who is detail oriented, driven for success, and treats every transaction like it's one of my own, look no further. One saying you will always here from me is "graceful transparency" - I want my clients to trust that I advise and educate based on what is best for your individual goals. In doing so, I will always be transparent during the process, but in a graceful & positive way.
If you're looking for an agent with extensive knowledge and experience of Western North Carolina, you've found him. I am a second-generation real estate broker in Asheville, being born and raised in the area. I have had the blessing of calling Asheville my home for 25 years and am yet to find another location that I would prefer to live in more than here in the mountains.

Many people often ask, "what are your favorite things about living in Greenville/Upstate South Carolina?" so I thought I would share a few of my answers!
· I love having all 4 seasons - all of which are vibrant but not extreme. The spring presents lots of greenery and warmer weather, summers typically are in the mid 80's, the fall is breath taking when the leaves begin to change in October, and the winters are mild, very do-able!
· The Swamp Rabbit Trail is truly one-of-a-kind. It is a 28-mile multi-use (walking and bicycling) greenway that traverses along the Reedy River, an old railroad corridor and City parks to connect Travelers Rest with the City of Greenville, South Carolina.
· The food in Greenville is amazing! Being recognized for food & beverage, we have diverse options making it easy to enjoy a meal no matter your preference!
· The outdoor activities are what I live for. During the warmer weather months, I enjoy fishing the local rivers for trout, local lakes for bass, and playing sports such as golf or basketball. For the colder months of the year, I'm often snowboarding or hunting!
When it comes to things to do in the Greenville area, we live in abundance! Here are some of my favorite places to hang out with friends/family or simply pass time!
There are a few restaurant options that I could eat every day of the week. Here are some of my recommendations to try out!
