Joyce Barnwell

Sales Manager | Broker | Walnut Cove Realty I’m the Sales Manager at Walnut Cove Realty and an active broker serving Asheville and Western North Carolina. Walnut Cove Realty is the region’s #1 luxury boutique brokerage, and my experience includes luxury homes, legacy properties, and real estate investments across the market. I moved to Asheville nine years ago as the General Manager of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, which gave me a deep understanding of luxury communities, land, and what truly drives long-term value. Today, I work with investors, second-home buyers, and full-time residents, bringing a practical, straightforward perspective to every transaction. I stay closely connected to market trends while remaining directly involved in deals, allowing me to offer clear guidance without the noise. Outside of real estate, I’m married to a Mission Hospital nurse and am a proud dad to two middle-school daughters. Asheville isn’t just where I work—it’s home.

It takes a seasoned veteran? to know where problems can exist and help avoid or at least minimize the issues as soon as they arise. If you are thinking about listing your property in New Hanover County, I would love the opportunity to discuss how my marketing plan can get your property sold in the shortest amount of time for the highest price possible.I believe that in a changing field like real estate, it is important to stay current and to spend the necessary time and resources on education.
