Five-star review

Kim has helped us buy and sell a total of four properties. She was key to helping us when we first moved to the area and subsequently when we bought an investment property. She then sold both of those properties for us after we left the area. Kim's level of communication and knowledge was great, and she made the process easy even with issues popping up along the way. She is my go-to person to recommend for WNC, and we would have her as our agent if we buy in this area again.

Five-star review

Kim was my realtor when I bought my house in Asheville and when I sold it five years later. She is the epitome of professionalism and really listens to what you are looking for in a house. She is honest, supportive, and always helpful with questions. I have watched her with other clients, going above and beyond to help them. I will always recommend her to anyone looking for the best realtor in Buncombe County and the surrounding areas.

Meet Kim

A clear eye. A calm presence.

Kim's real estate story began in Manhattan commercial real estate in 1983. She has called Asheville home for nearly 20 years and began selling real estate in Western North Carolina in 2010—entering the business during the difficult market following the housing crash.

Kim learned to work through uncertainty from the very start. That experience shaped the steady, practical perspective she brings to every conversation. Ready to talk through a home search or possible sale? Call Kim directly at (828) 279-4615.

The practical details

A few good questions, answered.

Are these listings updated live?

The cards are a starting point, not a live listing feed. Open the linked Southern Homes page for the current price, availability, photos, and full property details.

Will the seller experience use an instant estimate?

Kim's seller process begins with a personal home-value review. Automated estimates can be useful context, but a thoughtful pricing conversation should account for condition, updates, setting, and the most relevant nearby sales.

What happens when someone scans the business-card QR code?

The QR code can open a streamlined version of this page with three immediate choices: buy, sell, or contact Kim. Campaign tags can distinguish QR visits from paid ads without changing the experience.
