I am a Realtor and love my native Western North Carolina, its residents, its land and natural beauty. I was born in Hendersonville and returned to this great area with my wife of 49 years after a 20-year career in the military. The 6 ½ years spent in Europe gave me the love of travel and some wonderful memories and great friends. I have always had an outgoing personality and this area with diversity of people and their lives makes every day new and exciting for me. Family and relationships are important to me. We have 3 grown children, 8 grandchildren, and many close friends. They are all part of our lives of social dancing, area events, and travel. This area is the greatest place I have ever called home. I'd like everyone passing through to see the beauty and highlights of this region. If this area is a good fit for you and your family and life choices, let me help you find the perfect spot for your new home.I represent both Buyers and Sellers of Homes and Land in real estate transactions in the Asheville/ Hendersonville/ Saluda/ Lake Lure area while dealing with the many financial options available with Howard Hanna Mortgage Services. I have learned that assisting all buyers and sellers with the options in real estate purchases be it cash, conventional, VA, FHA, owner financing or combinations of these.After retiring from the USPS and US Army, my wife was aware of my love and knowledge of the area's land, families, folklore, and charm; suggested I get involved in real estate. She retired after working with several local real estate Attorneys and has over 30 years experience in the field of real estate law.
