Buyer Representation
From discovery to close. Pre-approval connections, neighborhood walks, inspection coordination, contract terms that protect the buyer side.
For Buyers
From first call to keys in hand.
A real estate purchase in WNC is one of the largest financial decisions you will ever make. Heather's process treats it that way — careful pre-approval, targeted walks, real diligence, net-sheets that match the contract, and an attorney close that lands on schedule.
Process
Five steps, no surprises.
01
Pre-approval call
Conversation about timing, budget, and what you actually want — mountain views, school district, distance to Asheville, acreage. Lender intro if needed.
02
Targeted property walks
A short list of properties Heather has personally walked, with the access notes most agents skip: cell service, road grade in ice, well capacity, neighboring use.
03
Offer and negotiation
Real comp analysis. Real local data on what 30 days of inventory looks like. Strategy beats reflex offers — especially in slower mountain markets.
04
Diligence period
Inspection, survey, septic, well — coordinated with vendors Heather trusts in WNC. Findings translated into negotiating leverage where they matter.
05
Close and key
Attorney walked through closing. Keys, codes, and a short list of who to call for the things that come up first — water, internet, propane, trash.
