My Client-First Philosophy and a bit about my background ...
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Asheville real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Asheville areas, please contact me.
Marie Morris is a native of McDowell County and returned to Western North Carolina 2003 after 16 years in San Francisco. “I didn’t think I could ‘come home’ again, but I am so happy to be back in these mountains and my California husband says he is here to stay!”
Marie attended Appalachian State University and then graduated from Peace College in Raleigh with an Associate Degree in Business. She later studied Art at Georgia State University.
After returning to North Carolina, she earned her real estate license and has since gone on to get her Accredited Buyer Representative, Accredited Luxury Home Specialist and NAR GREEN designations. Marie also brings to the table over 25 years of legal experience, making her a seasoned multi-tasker with a high level of attention to detail.
She and her husband are both artists –Marie has dabbled in a variety of creative arenas, but currently enjoys working with clay and multi-media collage. She is also a gardener, an occasional (pretty bad) golfer and is in love with her three “children,” Jones, Junebug, and Izzy (their cats)!
Having renovated both a Victorian flat in San Francisco, and both a 1920s and 1960s house here in Asheville, Marie also brings “vision” to this business for those who cannot afford to purchase their perfect home. Marie is excited about helping others find their dream in Western North Carolina as she and her husband have. Bill Sproul has a business casting concrete countertops and designing and fabricating metal furniture: http://www.slab-fab-studio.com/.
Marie stands ready to provide tireless, detail-oriented and enthusiastic assistance that you will come to appreciate (with a sense of humor on the side)!
