About Matt Barker

We got our start in real estate in 2002 and over the years have developed a reputation for personal integrity, professional ethics, responsive and expert service, the constant pursuit of knowledge, and a spirit of teamwork and camaraderie with our clients and colleagues. We love Asheville and the mountains of Western North Carolina. From our first years living here in the mid-1980s, we have loved the history, the culture, and the scenic beauty of this place we've now called home for the majority of our lives. We truly understand the attraction for the many visitors who decide to move here, and for the ones who keep their move local to stay rooted here. We love what we do. Nothing is more satisfying than to know we've served you well. To see you smiling from ear to ear on closing day, excited that we've come to the finish line and reached your goal of a new home purchase or a successful sale. Every step of the way, we find enjoyment in searching, communicating, negotiating, coordinating, and closing your transaction. And we do our best to help you enjoy the process too. We love the people we serve. Every transaction is far more than simply the purchase or sale of an investment. We know as you work with us you are opening the next chapter of your life. We are honored to play a role in writing that chapter with you, and we recognize the importance of both guiding you and giving you the time and space you need to make this most important of decisions. We know that our story will be best when your story is our priority.

Where do I begin? Matt and Ginny stepped in and took over a very complicated land transaction that was almost falling apart. Matt took on the challenges of this property with enthusiasm. The attention to detail and availability was exactly what we needed to pull our transaction together. Finally, he demonstrated great knowledge and experience to read the situation with our seller when finalizing our purchase price. This is my second time working with Matt and Ginny, and I would definitely choose them again for my next transaction!

Ginny and Matt did an excellent job selling my sisters house in Asheville. They hired and coordinated the workers to get the house ready for listing and I never had to leave my home I'm California. The house sold above the asking price on the first day. I highly recommend them!

Matt was super responsive and available any time we had a question or concern. His knowledge and years of experience in the local market were invaluable. Plus hes just a genuinely nice guy! Definitely the best experience weve ever had with a realtor.

Ginny and Matt helped my find the site I was looking for. They looked at properties for me over several months. When I found the one I wanted, Ginny was on top of all the details, answering all my questions, and acting as a go between whenever I needed help. I highly recommend Ginny and Matt, they are great people, lovely personalities, easy to work with and very responsive. In fact, my daughter is also looking and will use them in her quest. Thank you Ginny and Matt. PS - negotiating was not part of the deal.

Ginny is phenomenal. She has helped us with two home purchases now and has been an invaluable asset each time, guiding us through the process with grace and expertise. She has a great eye and quickly understands what were looking for in a home. As we were purchasing from afar, we relied heavily upon her evaluation of homes and recommendations of contractors. I cannot speak highly enough of her INTEGRITY. Ginny kindly let us know when she thought homes would sell for more than our budget, had too many problems, or were not located in areas we would enjoy. Being able to trust and rely on her was essential to our home purchases and made these such positive experiences for us. Thank you, Ginny!!!
