Firefly Realty agent Jordan Lockaby recently worked with us to sell some family property in…read moreHaywood County. She found us through a local inquiry that she received. Jordan provided a market/comp analysis of our property and after a site visit, she recommended a fine sales plan! We listed with Firefly on a Thursday, had two competitive offers by Sunday am and signed a contract that evening at a price exceeding our expectations! She and her Firefly Transaction Manager Jessica handled the many admin details, inspections, referrals and docs to affect a two-week close on the sale! Well Done. Jordan Lockaby's skillful lead, Firefly's staff resources, Keller-Williams' affiliation and efficient TEAM organization provided a smooth process for a successful sale! As a R/E developer in another state, and very familiar with the realty community there, we highly recommend Jordan Lockaby and her team at Firefly Realty. SOLD!!

Pisgah Forest and Brevard Focus:…read more Largest draw to the area is the White Squirrel Festival and Pisgah National Forest with other festivals scheduled dead in the heat of the summer. Small town Feel: You will know everyone if your kid is in school. Yes, long-timers will make it known that they do not like "outsiders" but only on social media. Most people are friendly. Many family-friendly activities. The library runs events/activities for kids. There are two skate parks, a kids-based ninja park, a community recreation center (mainly for sports), a few dance schools, community sports (kids), art classes, etc., Brevard Music Center, small farmers market on Saturdays, PARI. This is not a college town and really is not geared to this demographic. Town management is trying to improve and grow the area, however, some of the plans are seemingly misguided and are more focused on bringing in money as opposed to focusing on the residents and those needs. While improvements do bring in new residents and taxes, etc. it seems as though the current needs are on the back burner. Downtown Brevard: This is a hilly area so the elderly may have issues with walking around - there are benches. Parking can be difficult. It is small and filled with stores that rely heavily on tourism dollars and would do better to permanently close off the area creating a walkable, paved area and re-routing traffic around this section to increase foot traffic. The emergency department is downtown. It gets very loud with the emergency sirens, motorcycles, truck engines from semis (including logging). Keep this in mind when deciding where to live. Pisgah Forest - Gun use (all kinds) on personal property is legal - as in you think you are in a normal neighborhood and 30 feet away your neighbor can target practice. Other considerations - crowing roosters and whatever you like. Private Roads: Lots of them and if an accident happens on one, you seemingly have no recourse. Apartment and Home Rentals: Even within normal economic times it is very difficult to find a place to rent - average recorded rental rates on the internet are patently wrong, double anything you see. Make sure you do a sex offender search. Apartment Complexes: Broad River Terrace (income restricted), Mountain Glen Apartments (1 bed/1 bath), Morgan Manor (multiple buildings owned by different owners - difficult to locate a management company), Laurel Villages (persons with disabilities and low income), Cedar Hill Apartments (small and located against the hospital), Collwell Drive Commons (next to a busy road, and against a gas station). We used a local real-estate company who took our money, had one property available, and then told us that they had to give the property to the other applicant "because they had applied a long a while ago..." Real Estate: The average home was built somewhere from 1910-1970s. New homes are rare and those that have been built are higher in the hills and exorbitantly expensive. There is an excessive amount of Airbnb and Vrbos in the area, to the detriment of residents. When purchasing land "the steeper, the cheaper." Can you afford to pump water uphill? Mobile/manufactured homes are not unusual. Super Fund site: Former Ecusta Paper Mill site close to forest. Developers are trying to build homes and businesses on the outer edge... Summers: Large increase in tourism and camp kids whose peak entertainment is being loud inside Walmart and Ingles Road Quality: The state will not pave the main highway through town (the most used road in the area); therefore cracks, faded lines, potholes, especially in front of the Food Lion plaza. However, millions were spent an unnecessary round about. There is a deathtrap intersection coming off of S Broad Street, S Caldwell St, and 64. Schools: Pisgah Forest (title one), Brevard Elementary, Brevard Middle School and Brevard High School, Davidson River School (troubled students), Mountain Sun School (private with outdoor learning aspect), numerous private religious schools, Brevard College, Transylvania Community College. Can choose where your child attends school in NC, so you are not stuck to a district. Daycare: Pisgah Collective (expensive outdoor daycare that is affected by weather for closures), Nanna's and Mommy's, etc. Flooding: Is a prevalent issue in this rainforest-type area. Pools: Two public in Franklin Park and Rosman. Community Garden: In a neighborhood near Caldwell - homeless encampment is also there. Water: Is highly chlorinated. Library - Well stocked, neat and clean, semi-annual books sale event, bookstore upstairs. Check out of puzzles and activities available. Grocery stores: Grocers Outlet (scratch-n-dent/discontinued food), Food Matters (organics/wellness), Aldi, Ingles (higher prices), Food Lion, Sav-More (part of Ingles, not really cheaper) Restaurants: There are no chain sit-down restaurants here, plenty of fast food. Rosman is more of a lower income area.

In our experience, to find someone who not only understands the housing market, but how to market a specific property was unique and refreshing. Jill's attention to detail enabled us to have a comfort level throughout the process that was especially important since this was being done remotely. All paperwork was completed on time thus keeping the process moving. We cannot recommend Jill highly enough; anyone would be fortunate to work with her to buy or sell property.

Remarkable service, highly professional and very personable! I owned my house for 25 years and a novice at selling property. Bill explained every step of the way (sometimes more than once) and I felt totally involved in the process. He responded to my countless phone calls, texts and took the time to meet with me on several occasions. Not once was I made to feel that I was a nuisance to him or his busy schedule! The best part! Bill listed my house and it went under contract in just 7 days, closed in 3 weeks AND for my asking price! Give Bill a call and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!

I was starting a new job, so relocating felt like a huge, stressful undertaking - until we met Bill. Bill responded to my initial inquiry within minutes, and his level of professionalism & responsiveness never wavered throughout the entire process. He provided helpful insights about the area, listened to what we were looking for, helped us manage our expectations, and guided us without being overly pushy. We listened to his advice and were able to have our first offer accepted. During these unprecedented times, this was phenomenal and far exceeded our expectations. Working with Bill felt like a partnership, and everyone we interacted with from his team were equally great. Josee is a real gem - I loved her positive energy! They were just as excited to help us find our new home as we were! You'll not find a harder working group who has your best interests in mind.

My husband and I were first time home buyers new to Asheville. We didn't know anyone out here, so…read morewe asked our mortgage loan officer for agent recommendations and chose Nick Hinton out of the bunch after seeing some great reviews for him online. Judging from my own experience, those reviews were well deserved! Nick and his assistant Renée were invaluable to our search. They were prompt and patient, responding to our questions and concerns as people new to the process, and it was clear they were experts. He was also quick to show up for viewings, which put us at ease. Nick came through with excellent recommendations for specialists when it came time for inspections, and a contractor who could answer some questions we had about modifying the property we hoped to purchase. The people here are also great to work with. When you talk to them, you feel they really care about making sure you find a house or property that checks the boxes and one that makes you happy. And when it came time to make the bid, we followed Nick's advice and landed our dream home in this wild and competitive market. We're glad Nick is committed to not just building but maintaining relationships with his clients because he really is a priceless resource!

It was probably a good thing we didn't get some of the houses we bid on. It was a tough environment back in 2021 when we closed on this house. It probably still is for those looking now. Nick and Renee were tenacious, as this market requires. Nick is not your typical realtor. He keeps it real. He's authentically Asheville even though he originates in California like me.

He immediately called me and hopped on his computer to look for more land in the area I was in. He truly goes above and beyond!
