Mountain Magic at This Exit
Asheville, NC
Heading to Asheville or the western North Carolina mountains?
Here’s your Exit~
Exit Realty Vistas.
My name is Julie Tatol, I’m a Realtor with Exit Realty Vistas, and this is my home. I relocated my family to the area in 2005 after 110 years in Florida. We could have gone anywhere, but the Asheville we’d ‘grown up with’ kept showing up on all sorts of “Best” lists. After several explorations, we knew this would be our new home.
If you’re reading my blog, you’ve already discovered western North Carolina. Welcome! In one of my favorite books-turned-movies, the heroine visits the country of her dreams and tells a fellow traveler what she’s looking for. He replied, “It’s here.” Let me assure you, whatever you come to western NC looking for, it’s here.
• City-country living: stunning mountain views and beautiful seasons; historic neighborhoods; fabulous artists; several universities; world-class chefs and farm-to-table; high-end spas and natural healing. We’re even a micro-brewery destination!
• Top tourist spots: Biltmore Estate, Blue Ridge Parkway, Chimney Rock, Lake Eden Arts Festival, Southern Highlands Craft Guild, Great Smoky Mountains Railway, Nantahala Gorge, Grandfather Mountain, Cradle of Forestry, Lake Lure.
• Outdoor Paradise: hiking, skiing, rafting, horseback riding, minor league baseball, golf, tennis, motorcycle roads, farmers’ markets, nature centers, urban walking trails.
• Retirement: from single-family homes and energetic over-55 communities, through assisted living and skilled nursing with memory care. Check out the UNC @ Asheville Center for Creative Retirement.
• Perfect for corporate condos, vacation homes and seasonal rentals, from loft to luxury, horse farms or downtown condos, fractional and timeshare ownership.
• Go Green: LEED-certified and NC Healthy-Built homes and communities. Alternative energy sources and education. Homesteading classes. Organic gardening and farm tours. Passive energy, water collection, land restoration.
Keep checking back for news on events, photos of my adventures (scenic, fun and free!), and links to additional info! Email me your questions and ideas.
Of course, I’d like to be your realtor and relocation pro. Moving across town and moving across the country are very distinct. I’ve done both, and built a new life largely from scratch. The lessons I’ve learned, along with my experience as a full-service broker/realtor specializing in residential properties, are valuable to my clients. Exit Realty Vistas is a young company full of seasoned professionals, and we’re gaining market share in Asheville and the surrounding counties (serving Waynesville, Mars Hill, Hendersonville, and beyond). We’ve come from “big box” real estate companies and bring a wealth of skills. We’re technology-sharp, people-focused, problem solvers.
More sellers are realizing that they can sell faster and at a better price by using a realtor. Let me do that for you, if you have property to sell in this area. But no matter where you live, I can introduce you to a realtor who will listen to you and work with you to sell your home on your terms.
Today’s property-buyer is tech-savvy; almost 90% of buyers find their property online. But you need a realtor because you may find your dreamhome but still need a doctor, a mortgage and a mechanic, a closing attorney and a church. I can direct you to sources of information and share my experiences with you.
I love locals and working face-to-face! But I’m also very happy to work with folks long-distance because I’ve been through it. I’m sensitive to the challenges of getting to know a community in advance of arriving. And I know real estate in western North Carolina. There are opportunities for great deals, including short sales and foreclosures, on every home style in every price range.
You need someone “on the ground,” even if you’re already living in the area. I’ll do whatever I can to get answers and to build your excitement about your new home.
Remember, whatever you’re looking for, it’s here. So plan for something magical, and start your adventure at this Exit – Exit Realty Vistas.
