Hello Friends! There is a specific kind of magic that happens in Western North Carolina during March. While the higher elevations might still hold onto a dusting of snow, down in the valleys of Brevard and Hendersonville, we’re starting to see the first hints of green return to the ridge lines. It’s a season of transition and anticipation, not just for the landscape, but for our local real estate market as well. Here’s what’s coming up:

Friday, March 13th | 8 am - 9 am
WLOS | 110 Technology Dr., Asheville, NC

If you’re looking to start your Friday with high energy and meaningful community connections, I’d love for you to join me at the next AM Power Hour!

I am incredibly proud that Hello Friends! (me!) is the presenter for this March session. These mornings are about more than just passing business cards; they are about building the local relationships that make Western North Carolina such a special place to live and work. Whether you're a seasoned business owner or just looking to plug into the Henderson County Chamber community, there’s a seat for you at the table. Come grab a coffee, share what you’re working on, and let’s power up our morning together!

Presented By: Hello Friends! Carrie Ann Chandler, Keller Williams Mountain Partners

If you’ve been searching for a home that feels like a "home" the moment you walk in, you need to see 1 Wintry Drive. Tucked away in one of Hendersonville’s most desirable 55+ communities, this single-level townhome perfectly balances its established, peaceful setting with a 2025 remodel that makes everything feel brand new.

Why I love this property:

• Freshly Reimagined: Having been completely remodeled in 2025, you get the peace of mind of updated systems and modern finishes without the wait of new construction.

• True One-Level Living: Designed for effortless comfort, the layout flows beautifully between the two bedrooms and the open living space — no stairs required.

• The Peek-a-Boo View: There’s a lovely mountain view from the back sitting area that reminds you exactly why we choose to live in Western North Carolina.

• Stunning Screened Porch: This is the heart of the home for me — the perfect spot for hosting friends year-round or just enjoying a quiet afternoon in the fresh mountain air.

I spent this past weekend in Atlanta at the Keller Williams Family Reunion, joining thousands of colleagues to sharpen my skills and look at where the real estate market is headed in 2026. For me, these trips are about more than just business — they are about ensuring I have the best resources and a truly global network to support you back home in WNC.

I was particularly honored to spend time with two groups that are near and dear to my heart:

• KW Rainbow Network: Connecting with my LGBTQ+ colleagues to continue our work in making homeownership identity-safe, inclusive, and accessible for everyone.

• KW Luxury: Diving deep into the latest trends and high-touch service strategies to better advocate for my luxury clients in Asheville and beyond.

Whether I’m attending the main stage sessions or smaller breakout groups, my goal is always the same: to bring back fresh insights that help you make confident, stress-free decisions. I'm coming home inspired and ready to get to work!

If you’re looking to sharpen your edge in our current Western North Carolina market, you won’t want to miss our upcoming KWMP EDU Listing Legends Panel. I’m so excited to see our local experts Kay Condon, Merle Reese, and Ian Clark share exactly what is moving the needle for sellers right now.

Why you should attend:

• Real-World Strategy: Get the inside scoop on pricing strategies that actually work in today’s shifting landscape.
• Marketing & Prep: Learn how to position a property to stand out and attract the right buyers from day one.
• Winning Conversations: Master the seller consultation and walk away with practical takeaways you can use in your business immediately.
• Community Connection: Connect with fellow agents in the training room and build the relationships that make our local real estate community so strong.

The Details:

• When: March 4th | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
• Where: KWMP Training Room

Let’s keep learning together and raising the bar for our clients!

Whether you’re just curious or already packing boxes, I’d love to help you feel confident, informed, and supported. If you’re thinking of buying, now’s the time to get pre-approved and start looking before competition increases. If you're selling, a fresh and clean home exterior can make a huge difference - curb appeal is your first showing!
