Why sellers and buyers stay with us

One broker, start to finish

The person who prices your home is the person who negotiates the offer and sits at the closing table.

Straight pricing conversations

You get the comparable sales and what they mean, including the ones that argue against the number you were hoping for.

Photography before the sign goes up

Nothing is listed until the photographs are done. A listing that debuts with phone snapshots never gets its first week back.

Showings you can actually plan around

Requests are confirmed with you first, grouped where possible, and never dropped on you an hour ahead.

Written updates every week

Traffic, feedback and what we recommend changing, sent on the same day each week so you never have to ask.

We work when you are off work

Evening and weekend showings are normal here, because that is when most buyers can actually see a house.

What we do

Listing and marketing

Preparation, pricing, photography, listing syndication and the whole negotiation through to closing.

Buyer representation

Search, showings, offer strategy, inspection and repair negotiation, and coordination with your lender and attorney.

Relocation into the area

For buyers moving from out of state: neighborhood orientation, commute realities, school district boundaries and a plan for a single visiting weekend.

Small residential investment

Duplexes, long-term rentals and older single-family homes, reviewed for what the repairs will actually cost before you write the offer.

Neighborhoods we work in

West Asheville

Bungalows and post-war cottages within walking distance of the Haywood Road shops. Lot sizes vary block to block.

Montford

Historic district housing close to downtown, with renovation rules that are worth understanding before you make an offer.

North Asheville

Larger lots, mature trees and mid-century houses, many of which have had one careful addition.

Kenilworth

Hilly streets, brick homes and quick access to the hospital campus, popular with medical staff.

Oakley

Practical, level lots and modest square footage, with newer construction filling in among the older houses.

Weaverville

A short drive north for buyers who want land, quiet and a town center that still has its own hardware store.

Fair housing and licensing

Northgate & Vale Realty is an Equal Housing Opportunity brokerage. The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental and advertising of housing, and we will not describe a home or a neighborhood in terms of the people who live there.

This site is real estate advertising. Advertising must identify the brokerage firm, and your state real estate commission may also require the license number to appear — the exact wording is set by each state, so confirm your own state's advertising rule before publishing this page.
