From Beth:
I am proud to say that I have called the Asheville area my home for over 30 years. I have seen this beautiful place evolve from a sleepy mountain town to the bustling and dynamic city it is today.
I have experienced and come to love the wide array of what our area has to offer, from quiet log cabins within 20 minutes of the city, to new construction with expansive living spaces, and the beautiful renovations to homes so sturdily built they will house many more generations.
My sales career began in the hard-nosed industry of construction equipment, heavy equipment and tractor trailers, which has made me a tenacious negotiator and keenly aware of the complexities involved in making major financial decisions. I have a vast knowledge and am well versed in all facets of construction from new construction to remodeling and have the ability to navigate the complexities of building in the mountains.
My transition into real estate was a seamless one that has allowed me to merge my knowledge of this area with my passion for helping people. I am dedicated, focused, organized and have been told I am like an energizer bunny!
If you are looking to relocate, find an investment property, sell your house or move across town, I would love the opportunity to share with you all I know about the exciting real estate market here in the Asheville area.
I have raised my family in these beautiful mountains and love nothing more than to support others in creating their own beginnings here.

Irene began her real estate career in New York City, where she specialized in residential leasing with a top rental team in Manhattan.

Patton Allen’s vision is to create “The Ritz” experience within property management, where owners and tenants are delighted by the level of service they receive; where they feel heard, respected, and cared for at every turn.

As a child, Laura Sullivan was always involved in art in some form or fashion: drawing, painting, and pottery to name a few. She loved creating, not just for the joy of bringing something new to life, but the joy created when it was shared. Her father was in real estate; he would buy investment properties and fix them up, putting something better back into the market than what he took out. She loved being his sidekick, tagging along to job sites, cleaning, fiddling around, pitching in wherever she could. Her Mom was a nurse anesthetist, who looked forward to talking to her about experiences she had at her job and in the operating room; how she helped people get better. It was important to Laura as she grew up to think about doing something that helped people, made the world a little better for being in it. With that drive she became a Certified Nursing Assistant and in college, thought a career in healthcare would be her path forward, but after failing chemistry miserably, she thought “maybe this isn’t what I’m meant to do.”
After that realization she came to Interior Design as a craft that really tapped into two areas of fond childhood memories, home, and art. It allowed her to continue to help people by bringing their vision to life in the home of their dreams. After finishing college with a BS in Interior Design from Appalachian State University, along with working in Interior Design, Laura stayed engaged in crafting artwork, and began tandem careers in real estate and construction.
Out of these passions, ID.ology was born in February 2012. Partnering with Sean, her husband, and learning through his work in green building at Living Stone Design + Build, Laura has been able to fuse her love for design with helping people well beyond just providing them with a beautiful home, but a home that cultivates health and wellness. What Laura does for her clients isn’t just about sustainability and caring for the world we live in, although that is of upmost importance, but also caring for their health in their homes. Understanding what you put into your body - the air you breathe, the light around you - affects you, is intrinsic to the building, designing, and furnishing of all Laura’s projects. This led Laura and her husband Sean to step out into a journey of creating and sourcing healthy furniture for their clients. In doing so they determined that this is too important not to share with other industry peers and the public. Atelier Maison & Co., “Asheville’s Elevated Furnishing Destination”, was born out of this desire to share with the community furniture, art, accessories, and other décor that are healthy and improve good indoor air quality, therefore homeowner’s health in their homes. Many are unaware that furniture & furnishings can be very toxic, so Laura and Sean are on a mission to educate the community through providing classes about the importance of what you breathe.
When I think about someone who’s provided great inspiration to me in my life, I think about my father. As an entrepreneur I watched and appreciated what he did; his independence and drive to do things for himself and continually work to grow and improve, at times in the face of adversity. Even without a college degree, he proved that hard work and diligence can really be rewarding. Sean’s dad is someone I look up to as well, especially what he’s taught me about servant leadership.
In the end, Laura’s “Why” comes down to truly caring about every home created for the health and wellness of the homeowner. It is an honor and a responsibility to design homes to be the best they can be for her clients.

I am Coach Sammy! I just wanna share a little bit about my journey with you all to give you some extra hope and inspiration! When I started my journey I was an official hot mess express! I was drinking my life away and my one meal of the day was 6 wings and a 6-pack! I was bartending next to the Nutrition club that I now own and started on this journey! Wow Nutrition in East Asheville. I dropped 90 pounds in nine months and went on to lose 95 pounds and gain 25 pounds of muscle! I dropped 24 dress sizes and ran a spartan race and then got pregnant with my beautiful princess! Gained 50 pounds through a completely healthy pregnancy. Dropped that off and I am now down 125 pounds! I help so many amazing clients all across the world I am grateful for making the decision to make a change.

From Jason:
"My name is Jason Brodsky and I am the president of Owners Only Real Estate.
I have been in Asheville since I left my home in Monterey CA in 2001. I taught Ashtanga Yoga for years in the Asheville community and began my real estate career in 2007 after decades of touring the world as a professional sound engineer. Pele Juju, Box Set, Cake, The String Cheese Incident, Mickey Hart, Social Distortion, Donna Summer and Mr. Bungle were only a few of my clients. Prior to that I was a chef and yoga instructor at the world renowned Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA.
Success in the high pressure fields of professional concert touring, cooking and real estate requires a NO EXCUSE attitude, a strong work ethic and a total commitment to client advocacy. This is the attitude my entire team and I bring to the table. We work smarter, harder and more effectively to find creative solutions to help you achieve your real estate dreams."

Meet The Andrew & Jolie Team: Andrew Casoria is a true WNC native. He was born at Mission Health hospital and raised right here in Hendersonville. Jolie Singletary is what the locals here call a half back —born in Michigan, raised in Florida, and found her forever home half-way back here in WNC more than a decade ago.

Amber White is a North Carolina native who has called Asheville home for nearly a decade. After graduating from UNC Asheville with her B.A in Literature, Amber pursued a career in marketing, technical writing, and graphic design. Her career took her from teaching at AB Tech, to a tech firm in Washington D.C., and then back to WNC with Chimney Rock State Park. But being the daughter of home flippers, Real Estate was an inevitable calling.
After earning her license in January 2018, Amber took off with a small, local firm that gave her a great head start. She then moved to a larger firm to grow her business further as the co-owner of a small team. Despite her success there, Amber knew she wanted to leverage her Real Estate career into a role with a firm. After a few recruiting meetings with Terri King, Owner & President of Coldwell Banker King, she knew where she was headed next- to a global brand-backed firm, run by local women with a passion for sustainable, community-focused growth, & agent success. When the opportunity to interview for the VP of Talent Recruitment & Growth Development, she took it.
Just a few months into her new role, Amber has created an entirely new recruiting program, backed by the strong community & agent-focused philosophy set by Terri King, and is working on implementing several new strategies and best practices centered on sustainable growth & visibility. Her favorite part of the job, though, is meeting local agents and getting to know them because, for her, building relationships is what it's all about.

Initially founded in 1999 by Tom and Dana Baldwin, Baldwin Real Estate has grown slowly and steadily throughout the years. In January 2019 the company was purchased by David Hitch, who has worked at the firm for 11 years prior and brings a desire to take Baldwin Real Estate into a new era of community management. Baldwin Real Estate strives to be the premier association management company in and around the Asheville area. The firm has always desired to service their current clients first and bring on new clients only when it is confident it can give them the same attention it gives the existing clientele.
Association Management itself is very different from any other division in the Real Estate field. Success in Association Management requires knowledge of daily operations, maintenance issues, knowledge of legal documents such as Restrictive Covenants and By Laws, and financial planning knowledge.
Baldwin Real Estate Inc is a full-service Community Management company. When you contact our office someone answers the phone, not a machine. Our Community Managers come from a variety of backgrounds and are highly educated and experienced. Each Community Manager is supported by Baldwin Real Estate’s team approach to Association Management. Working as a team allows each Community Manager to meet all the various needs of our associations and Boards.

Real estate is what she loves, which is why she loves working the market from Charlotte/Lake Norman over to Asheville and beyond. Dana takes great pride in providing extraordinary service to both buyers and sellers.

Dana doesn’t take her duty as a matchmaker lightly. When assisting sellers, it’s important to listen to their goals and put together a strategy to make sure they achieve those goals in a realistic and timely manner. It's extremely important to Dana that each client feels protected and represented at the highest level, no matter the price point. Her keen eye and attention to detail has enabled Dana to assist sellers in getting their homes picture perfect for the market. She also puts this to great use when finding the perfect home for a buyer.

Roundtable Discussion: "Zillow - Agent Impact" with guests Matthew Ledford and Randy Keberlein
GUEST: Irene Carrizosa of Patton Allen Property Management
Irene began her real estate career in New York City, where she specialized in residential leasing with a top rental team in Manhattan. That experience, combined with her work in sales after returning home to Asheville in 2016 made property management a natural addition to her real estate wheelhouse.
She joined the Patton Allen Property Management team in 2020. Patton Allen is committed to challenging the status quo and the all-too-common pains that owners and tenants have with low engagement, poor service, and poor communication with non-community-centric property management firms.
Patton Allen’s vision is to create “The Ritz” experience within property management, where owners and tenants are delighted by the level of service they receive; where they feel heard, respected, and cared for at every turn.
