Four agents, one county, no call center
Ambergate Realty sells houses, cabins and land in and around Asheville. The agent you meet at the listing appointment is the agent who runs the showings.
Our fee schedule is on this site, in full, before you call. Most sellers tell us that is why they called.
Why sellers pick a small office
You get the same phone number all the way through
No transfer to a transaction coordinator you have never spoken to. The agent who priced the house also handles the repair negotiation.
We say no to overpriced listings
If the number you want is not the number the comparable sales support, we tell you at the appointment and show you the three sales that prove it.
Photos before the sign goes up
Nothing goes live until the house has been photographed properly. A listing that appears with phone snapshots collects its worst days on market in the first week.
Cabins and land are not a side line
Well, septic, shared driveways, gravel road maintenance agreements and slope. These are the things that kill mountain closings and we check them before you list.
Your paperwork stays yours
Disclosure packets, inspection reports and the final settlement statement are sent to you as files, not left in a portal you lose access to.
What we do
Listing and selling
Pricing from real comparable sales, photography, the listing itself, showings, offer negotiation and everything between contract and closing.
Buyer representation
For people moving here and for people moving across town. We tour with you, we write the offer, and we tell you when to walk.
Cabins, acreage and land
Access, water, perc tests, slope and what a lender will and will not finance on raw land.
Valuation without a sales pitch
A written opinion of value with the sales it is based on. No obligation, and we do not add you to a mailing list.

Who you will be working with

Elias Márquez works with buyers relocating from out of state, which mostly means talking people out of houses at the end of unmaintained roads.
Wondering what your house is worth this spring
Ask for a written opinion of value. You get the number and the three sales behind it, and nobody calls you afterwards unless you ask us to.
