James Collier

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.

With 11+ years of experience and 290+ closed transactions across coastal South Carolina and the Greater Raleigh–Durham Triangle, I'm the local expert buyers, sellers, and investors trust in the Carolinas. My clients call me "Your Carolina Realtor" because that's exactly what I aim to be: your advocate, your strategist, and your local insider from the first conversation to well past closing day. Whether you're searching for a luxury home, a resort or second property, or relocating to the area — I built my business around one belief: real estate should feel less like a transaction and more like a well-guided decision. That means honest pricing conversations, sharp negotiation, and communication you never have to chase.
