Carolyn Black

Carolyn, originally from Oregon, is a long-time resident of Asheville (since 1990) and has truly enjoyed raising her own family here in Western North Carolina. She has a lifetime in the customer service industry but found her niche in real estate and has many years of experience as a Realtor in Western North Carolina. She loves the mountains which have always reminded her of her West Coast home and visits her family as often as possible but returning to her Asheville home makes her feel very lucky to have both places she calls home so beautiful.

For the last 9 years, she has been in property management with responsibility for 70+ properties and was the Vice President and Broker In Charge of a start-up business. She has acquired Inspired Getaway and is looking forward to growing the business with her clients that have trusted her with their investments and will continue to earn their loyalty.

She has a passion for helping people and is very involved in finding the right property for her clients and seeing the purchase through from start to finish. Each transaction is different from the next which always makes it exciting and learns something new almost every day. It is important to her to feel her clients are satisfied with their transaction and do her best to accomplish that goal. She is very enthusiastic about reaching the highest level of satisfaction for them.
