A little about me:

20 years in real estate. Still love it. This family, these friends, this community, these mountains, exploring, traveling, connecting, collaborating, growing, serving… I am grateful to be where I am, doing what I do. North Carolina is home. Buying, selling and rehabilitating homes has been a big part of life for over 20 years. Every new connection and opportunity for growth in this community is a gift and every year brings new opportunities to serve.

At Planted Realty, I do two things: I represent clients directly in Henderson, Buncombe, and Polk counties, and I match buyers and sellers with trusted agents throughout the region when they need someone outside my backyard.

Background:

After graduating from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, I relocated to Raleigh, NC and began working with a Fortune 500 company.  As a team of 7, we served the marketing needs of over 800 real estate agents. Our small team managed a weekly television show, the corporate web presence, and a number of daily, weekly and monthly newspaper advertisements throughout the state of North Carolina. Yes – back when I got started, newspaper advertisements were the primary source for real estate information!

Later I joined a Raleigh brokerage as their marketing manager and watched hundreds of transactions unfold. That’s when I got my license. I wanted to be in the room, not just behind the curtain.

How I got here:

My husband and I knew for a long time that we wanted to establish roots in the mountains of North Carolina. In 2013 we sold our home in the Triangle area and bought a dreamy North Asheville fixer-upper by the Blue Ridge Parkway. In 2015 we sold our first Buncombe County home and planted ourselves in Hendersonville.  In 2019 everything came together and Planted Realty came to fruition. Our family has lived all over Henderson County (Hendersonville, Flat Rock and Laurel Park).  We are grateful to call Western North Carolina home, and can’t imagine a better place to raise our family.

Beyond real estate:

You’ll find me cheering on my kiddos from the sidelines of their extracurricular activities, camping and hiking along the epic local trails of the NC mountains, mountain biking with family and friends through DuPont State Forest, practicing yoga, and spending time with neighbors both old and new. Landing in Western, North Carolina feels like a gift. More than a house, this community is home.

Here’s how I can help:

If you need a trusted agent anywhere in the Southeast, I’ll find you the right one. Not just a good agent. The right one. With relationships across 800-plus agents built over two decades, I know the difference. Curated. Connected. Confidential. No strings attached.

If you’re buying or selling in Henderson, Buncombe, or Polk Counties, I represent you directly as a full-service listing and buyer’s agent. Twenty years of buying, selling, and rehabilitating homes myself means I bring more than professional experience to the table. I bring personal stakes.

The people, the places to explore, and the beauty of North Carolina… if this area of the world is resonating with you, and you’d like to learn more about moving to, from or within our beautiful area of NC, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to connect and support you on your journey.
