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.

Lets just say I have Harnett County in my blood from growing up in Dunn to now calling Buies Creek home, Ive never strayed far from my roots! My husband and I enjoy being actively involved in our local church helping with children and youth programs and also enjoy volunteering with local organizations to better our community. My degree in business and marketing from NC State (Go Pack!) helped open doors to my previous opportunities with small, family-owned businesses in Wake County, each with its own unique tie to real estate. Experiences from these opportunities coupled with my design ability and marketing background provide a unique skillset at your disposal. I cant wait to help you find the right place to plant your roots!
