New to Western NC? I’ve been where you are. šŸ”ļø

Hi, I’m Samantha, a realtor with Howard Hanna Beverly-Hanks and a transplant to Asheville myself. In 2019 I had a stressful experience selling a home. In 2023 I bought here in WNC and had a great one. I know the difference, and I want every client to have the good one.

I bring 20+ years of sales and marketing experience to every deal, and I’m known for being a problem solver who listens, tells you the truth, and shows up.

When I’m not working, I’m on a trail with my family, at a live show, thrifting or doing something active.

Thinking about buying, selling, or moving to the mountains?

Send me a DM, call, or text me at (803) 429-6738. I’d love to help take the stress out of your move.

Someday is a sneaky little word. šŸ”ļø

"Someday we'll slow down."
"Someday we'll live closer to the mountains."
"Someday we'll have the time for it."

I hear it all the time from people who are tired of the grind and dreaming of something different. And I get it. Big moves feel big. Timing never feels perfect.

But here's what I've seen: the people who stop waiting on "someday" are the ones who end up on a porch with a coffee, a mountain view, and a Saturday that finally feels like theirs.

The good life isn't a someday thing. It's a right-now thing, and it's waiting here in Asheville. šŸ‚

You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to start the conversation.

šŸ‘‰ Comment "SOMEDAY" and I'll send you my guide to getting started in Western NC, or DM me and let's talk about what your good life looks like.

10+ people have toured the home… so why aren’t the offers coming in? šŸ‘€

This is one of those moments where the showing activity is actually telling us something.

If buyers are interested enough to walk through the door but no one is writing an offer, I start looking for the disconnect.

It could be:

šŸ·ļø Price — Buyers may like the home, but not enough to justify the price.

šŸ“ø Photography & presentation — If the photos aren’t getting the right buyers through the door—or aren’t setting the right expectations—there can be a disconnect between the listing and the experience.

šŸ  Something buyers notice in person — An awkward layout, needed updates, a busy road, a room that doesn’t function the way buyers expected… sometimes the reason becomes obvious once people actually walk through.

šŸ’¬ Buyer feedback — This is where the real information lives. If multiple buyers are saying the same thing, we need to pay attention.
The goal isn’t to panic and immediately slash the price.

It’s to listen to the market.

If we’re getting showings but no offers, let’s figure out why.

Pull the feedback. Look at the competition. Revisit the presentation. Make the right adjustments.
Because sometimes the difference between ā€œI like itā€ and ā€œI want to make an offerā€ is one small—but important—change.

That’s what having a strategy behind your listing is all about.

Before you fall in love with a listing, spend ten minutes running this quick check.

Ask yourself: can you see yourself living here beyond the Instagram photos, and does the commute, taxes, and upkeep fit your budget?

If the answers line up, you’re probably on the right track.

The market feels impossible in Asheville right now, but the headlines don’t always tell the whole story.

Home prices are high, yet wages are rising and mortgage rates are still a factor—but that doesn’t mean buying is automatically out of reach. Your income, down payment, taxes, insurance and the price you actually negotiate all play a role in your monthly payment.

Let’s break down the real math for you.

Ask an Asheville Realtor #11: "What should I know before buying an older Asheville home?ā€

I LOVE an older Asheville house. The character. The charm. The original details that you just don’t get in a brand-new build. But before you fall in love with the clawfoot tub and original hardwood floors, there are a few things I want you to think about.

The age of the MAJOR systems is super important.

Roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, water heater… knowing when these were replaced can make a BIG difference in your future budget.

⚔ Electrical
Older homes can have older electrical systems that may need attention. This is something your inspection should help you understand.

🚰 Plumbing
The age and type of the plumbing matters, especially in homes that have been renovated over the years.

šŸšļø The foundation & structure
With older homes, you want to understand what you're looking at—not just cosmetically, but structurally.

🧪 Things you can't see
Depending on the age of the home, there may be concerns like lead-based paint or asbestos that deserve additional investigation.

And here's the biggest thing:
Don't let ā€œoldā€ automatically scare you—and don't let ā€œcharmingā€ automatically sell you.

An older home can be an incredible purchase. You just want to go into it knowing what you're buying, what may need attention, and what those improvements could realistically cost.
That's where a good inspection—and asking the right questions—can make all the difference.

Know someone who’s glued to Zillow and swears they’re staying put?

The market’s moving faster than their scroll speed, so a quick chat could save them from missing the next good deal.

$640,000 (the average cost of a home in Asheville right now)

Sounds straightforward, right?

Until you actually run the numbers.

Using a 20% down payment and a 7.24% interest rate, the principal + interest payment on a $640K Asheville home is about $3,489/month.

Then add:
šŸ” Property taxes
šŸ›”ļø Homeowners insurance
šŸ’° HOA, if applicable
šŸ”§ Maintenance
šŸ’” Utilities

And suddenly, the conversation looks very different.

That’s why I don’t want buyers focused only on the listing price.

I want you to understand the REAL monthly cost before you fall in love with the house.

Because ā€œCan I get approved for it?ā€ and ā€œWill I be comfortable owning it?ā€ are two very different questions.

If you’re thinking about buying in Asheville and want to know what your numbers actually look like, DM me NUMBERS and let’s break it down.

***Example only. Actual payment, taxes, insurance and other ownership costs vary by property, loan terms, assessed value, coverage and location.***

There are a few things you should probably know about me…

I’m an iced latte person. A very committed iced latte person. šŸ˜‚

I’ve been called the ā€œCoffee Queenā€ more than once, and honestly… I’m not mad about it. šŸ‘‘ā˜•ļø

A few of my Asheville favorites lately:
ā˜•ļø PennyCup
ā˜•ļø Rowan
ā˜•ļø Round Earth Roasters

And before anyone gets offended—I know there are approximately 47,000 other coffee shops I need to try. Asheville makes it very difficult to be loyal.

So, Asheville friends…

Where should the Coffee Queen go next? šŸ‘€

Drop your favorite local coffee spot below. I’m building my list.
