About Me

As an Asheville native and past business owner, Richard is a long-time trusted real estate advisor with extensive knowledge and experience gained through years of assisting first-time homebuyers, millennials, and seasoned buyers, and sellers. He embraces all the latest technology and is always in tune with our ever-changing market and values. He treats everyone with kindness and respect, and is very much a people person, extremely organized, and pays close attention to all the details throughout the process.

Richard is proud to be a devoted family man, married to his college sweetheart, Carol. They have two grown children and six amazing grandchildren. During their leisure time, you will find them volunteering, touring our scenic back roads in their convertible, hiking, camping, and exploring year-round, taking trips to their coastal getaway, spending time with family, and counting their blessings.

The Western North Carolina Lifestyle...Family...Home...Community...All the things that are important to you are important to him.


Winning in our "Hot" market requires a realtor that is 100% committed to you and will work tirelessly on your behalf regardless of the time of day or day of the week it is. When assisting buyers, I know how important it is for you to know the true market value of any listing so you don't overpay, together with its condition, and I promise we're not going to miss out on anything that's available now or even coming on the market soon. If you're a seller, our in-house marketing team and I will give your listing the absolute maximum exposure, both regionally, nationally, and internationally, to sell it as quickly and for as much money as possible. The foundation of my success comes from being an Asheville native with years of experience gained through assisting first-time buyers, millennials, and seasoned buyers and sellers through hundreds of closings. I treat everyone with kindness and respect, and am dedicated to staying current as evidenced through my multiple professional REALTOR certifications.
