Two very different places.

One approach.

Real estate is local. Really local.

The neighborhood, the property, the numbers, the timing, and the reason you're buying or selling all matter.

I work with clients in two markets I know well, bringing local perspective, experience, and a straightforward approach to each one.

Western North Carolina

From Asheville to other communities throughout Western North Carolina, I work with buyers, sellers, investors, and commercial clients across a range of property types.

Through CENTURY 21 Integra, I help clients navigate residential and commercial real estate with a focus on understanding the opportunity, not simply completing the transaction.

Curaçao

Curaçao offers a different way of living, with opportunities that go beyond the property itself.

Through Coldwell Banker, I work with clients exploring homes, second properties, rentals, and investments, helping them find the right fit for how they want to live, use, or invest in the island.

Chris Smith

Broker, CENTURY 21 Integra

With over 15 years in real estate and 31 years calling Western North Carolina home, Chris built his career on straightforward advice and local knowledge that goes deep. He works both sides of the market, residential and commercial, across WNC, and brings that same standard to buyers, sellers, and renters in Curaçao.

Whatever the property, whatever the coastline, the approach doesn't change: listen first, know the numbers cold, and treat every client's move like it matters. Because it does.

Three Ways I Help

A good real estate decision starts with the right questions.

Should I sell now or wait?

Is this property actually worth what they're asking?

What am I not seeing?

Could this property work as an investment?

What happens after I make an offer?

These are the questions that matter. My job is to help you answer them before they become expensive surprises.

Sell With a Strategy

Your property is more than a listing on the MLS.

The right price matters, but so does how the property is positioned, presented, marketed, and negotiated. I look at the whole picture, then build a strategy around the property and the market so we can put it in front of the right buyers and give it the best opportunity to perform.

Buy With Perspective

It's easy to fall in love with a property.

It's harder to know whether it's actually the right one.

I help you look beyond the finishes and the first impression, paying attention to the location, layout, condition, potential, market, and numbers so you can make a decision you feel good about after the excitement wears off.

Commercial Real Estate

A commercial property has to make sense beyond the address.

Whether you're buying, selling, expanding, or evaluating an investment, I help you look at the property through both a real estate and business lens, so you can better understand the opportunity and the risks that come with it.

Client Experience

The best part of this business is what happens after closing.

Chris helped me close on the home I wanted for less than asking. He contacted me as soon as contract on the home I wanted fell through, great experience, very professional and personable.

Chris made time to show me around Asheville, learning the Green Build process. Excellent communication and knowledge of the area. Chris is a perfect connection for Asheville.

From the first showing to keys in hand, Chris consistently proved himself to be knowledgeable, personable, and skilled. Chris expertly answered our first time home buyer questions, and navigated a competitive offer situation with sophistication. He remained helpful and supportive throughout the entire process, and even offered recommendations when we were ready to engage in some home improvements. I would reccomend Chris without reservation, and as our family expands we will certainly be calling on him again as we consider our next purchasing decision.

Chris' drive and his focus on the details are key attributes to a successful transaction. His communication skills allow him to listen to his client and understand their objective so he can formulate and execute a plan that helps them achieve that goal.

Chris is there for you every step of the way. In short, if you let me him work his negotiation magic then prepare to be 110% thrilled with your purchase or sale. He is your biggest advocate no matter the home price. His out-of-the-box thinking makes your dreams possible.

Amazing! Very personable and professional! Highly recommend him... His knowledge, effort and creative thinking helped us land in our home! We couldn't be anymore thankful! It was exactly what we needed and wanted.. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Chris was like a guardian angel during a time of significant flux in my life. He was confident, reassuring, readily available, and one of the most hard-working advocates I have ever had the privilege to work with. Chris helped me to sell my home soon after it went on the market. We had an open house on a Saturday and was under contract on Sunday. Five days later, Chris helped me find my next home. Within a week, I was under contract for the house I was selling AND the one I was buying. His network is also phenomenal. I felt I had an entire team coaching and supporting me. The final quest was closing on both homes on the same day. Chris helped this potentially stress-laden process go smoothly, as well. He is honest, knowledgeable, and wholehearted about his work. I would recommend Chris to anyone looking to buy and/or sell their home. This realtor goes above and beyond.

His knowledge and experience in this area is unmatched. He stays in contact with his clients, communicates important information affectivly and efficiently so that the job gets done. I wouldn't contact anyone else for my real estate needs in the Asheville area.

Chris shows an incredible level of expertise in the real estate market. His passion for finding the perfect Asheville home is evident through every step of the process. He truly listens to the wants and needs of his consumers and maintains communication that demonstrates such.

I worked with Chris as a buyer, and I'm not an easy customer. I have a very long list of "must haves" some of which are nearly diametrically opposed - and not a huge budget given all the constraints. Chris has been patient, unflappable, through, and an incredible resource throughout this entire process. I've bought and sold several pieces of property, and in the process, have worked with several different agents. None are better than Chris.
