Because Who You Work With Truly Matters

 

Hi, I'm Ali, and at the heart of everything I do is a love for people. Im passionate about hearing stories, understanding dreams, and helping my clients move toward the life they envision, whether that means finding the perfect first home, listing a legacy estate, or navigating a complex investment.

Since joining Beverly-Hanks in 2013, Ive successfully closed over $70 million in transactions across Henderson, Buncombe, Transylvania, and the surrounding mountain counties. My clients count on me for sound strategy, local expertise, and results that speak for themselves.

Local Roots. Professional Reach.

I was born and raised in Asheville, graduated from Asheville High School, and earned a degree in Business Administration with a marketing focus from the University of Lynchburg, where I played varsity field hockey. After a successful 17-year career in banking and lending, I made a natural transition into real estate, bringing with me a strong business acumen and financial insight that gives my clients a distinct edge.

I know our mountain communities intimately. Now based in Hendersonville, I offer hands-on support and insight across a wide range of properties: charming in-town homes, low-maintenance condos and townhomes, luxury estates, historic residences, and everything in between. Whether you're buying from out of town or selling something truly one of a kind, Im here to make the process seamless, informed, and efficient.

Strategic. Steady. Solution-Oriented.

I dont do cookie-cutter service. Im hands-on, responsive, and highly detail-oriented. My clients often describe me as a strong communicator, steady guide, and trusted problem-solver, especially when it comes to complex transactions or clients who need a local advocate on the ground.

From multi-structure estates and historic properties with agricultural leases and dam inspections to smaller homes, condos, and townhomes, Ive helped clients navigate unique challenges with clarity, transparency, and care.

Rooted in Service

As a second-generation REALTOR, I was raised in the world of real estate. Both of my parents built successful careers with Beverly-Hanks, and their passion for serving people shaped who I am today. Their mentorship, combined with decades of family dinner-table conversations about contracts, comps, and client care, gives me an edge and a legacy Im proud to carry forward.

I now live in Hendersonville with my two amazing adopted children and a beloved crew of pets. I stay active in our schools, church, and with local initiatives close to my heart. I serve on committees at the Hendersonville Country Club and am proud to support the Athena Leadership Committee, Women United, and more. After Hurricane Helen, I coordinated World Central Kitchens Hendersonville site, logging 35 volunteer hours a week. Giving back is a core part of who I am.

Life in the Mountains

Outside of real estate, I live life to the fullest. I spend my time hiking mountain trails, working out four to five days a week, walking and jumping off waterfalls, gardening, and enjoying time with friends and loved ones. I love horseback riding, listening to live music, and discovering the world with my family, often with three generations in tow. Together, weve explored Italy, Greece, Turkey, Costa Rica, Alaska, and more.
