I moved to Asheville in 2019 and it's the first place I've lived that actually feels like home. Now I help other people find that feeling. That's the whole job.
Most agents will tell you what they do — number of sales, years in the market, designations you've never heard of. I'd rather tell you why I'm here.
I grew up with a somewhat disconnected sense of home. That's not a complaint — it's just true. And I think it's a big part of why I get so much satisfaction from this work. Helping someone find a place that actually fits their life is not a small thing. I've done it enough times now to know that when it lands right, it's one of the better feelings there is.
Before real estate I spent years in research — studying how diet treats epilepsy in children, then public health at Harvard. I loved it. I also needed to pivot. When I ended up in Asheville in 2019, I found the thing that let me do the same work differently: understand people first, then solve the problem.
"When I meet someone who's thinking about Asheville, I don't ask about their budget first. I ask what caused them to think about this place in the first place."
Dylan was incredible throughout our entire home search. He's patient, knowledgeable, and always made us feel like we were his only clients. He has a way of cutting through the noise and just telling you the truth.
We relocated cross-country with a tight timeline. Dylan made it seamless. His data instinct is real — he showed us things about the market we hadn't even thought to ask about. Felt like having an analyst and a friend at once.
He sold our home faster than we thought possible. Photography, positioning, marketing — all sharp. But what really stuck with me was that he genuinely seemed to care whether we were happy with the outcome, not just closed.
