Irina is a Toronto native who has called the mountains of Western North Carolina her home for the past 5 years. She is a United States Marine Corps veteran, and during her time in the Marine Corps, she met and married her wonderful husband Phillip. They decided that moving back to the Appalachian Mountains was the best path for them, and decided to make their forever home Asheville, NC. Shortly af
ter relocating back to North Carolina, she also started a family with her husband; having a beautiful baby girl they named Savannah. Real Estate is Irina’s passion, but it all stemmed from being raised in a hospitality family. Her experience in hospitality taught Irina the true importance of customer service, effective communication, attention to detail, and how to create the best possible experience for any given customer. Irina is practical, logical and honest, and expressly uses these skills in order to meet the needs of her clients, no matter what their demands. She is a dedicated buyer’s agent on an award winning team, and is certified by the National Association of Realtors as a Military Relocation Professional. Nothing makes her happier than helping first time homebuyers achieve their home ownership dreams. When she’s not helping clients find their dream home she spends her spare time with her family, and enjoys hiking, running, backpacking, photography, cooking, traveling, and yoga. She truly believes that, “It takes hands to build a house, but only a heart can build a home.”
