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 and Josse were amazing to work with. This was my first house and they really made it feel seamless. I was always up to date and felt truly looked after. If I'm ever in the market again, they'll be the first to know.
When my wife and I decided we wanted to buy land in Asheville, we both immediately knew we wanted to work with Dylan. He, and his team, were professional, insightful, and helpful throughout the process. He always responded quickly and stayed on top of things, so we didn't have to worry about anything falling through the cracks.
Very competent, friendly and patient realtor who would take the time to clarify the ins and outs of selling a home. He recommended and explained the best selling price and things to prepare the property for sale. He was very helpful in final negotiations with buyer that actually made me some extra money. I strongly recommend this realtor.
The purchase of an out of state property many times carries an added dimension of uncertainty. Fortunately, I was able to connect with a seasoned professional who listened, responded, no pressure or upsell and secured a home within my requested location and price-point…
I truly cannot say enough about how phenomenal Dylan is and the level of professional expertise he brought to our home-selling experience. After a discouraging and unsupported experience with another realtor, we were hesitant and frustrated — but from the moment we hired Dylan, everything changed. He came in with a clear plan, sharp market insight, and the confidence we desperately needed…
We had the pleasure of working with Dylan while exploring a potential move from Los Angeles to Asheville. From our first conversation, Dylan was approachable, genuine, and easy to talk to. He quickly helped us make sense of where to begin and guided us through neighborhoods that matched our interests and lifestyle…
My background is in clinical research — I spent years studying how diet can treat epilepsy in children, first at UF, then at Harvard in public health. I loved the work. I also realized I needed something different. Two things can be true at once. A family member nudged me toward real estate, I jumped in, and I've never looked back. People always say "wow, that's such a change." And it is. But I think part of it comes from growing up with a somewhat disconnected sense of home — so there's something that makes sense about the fact that I get real joy helping people find one.
When someone comes to me with a budget and a list, I say great — and then I ask about their life. What does a Tuesday feel like for you? What do you need to feel like yourself in a place? The three-bedroom, two-bath comes after that. I spent years in research learning that the best answers come from the right questions. That didn't leave me when I got my license.
I moved here in October 2019 from Boston — I wanted the culture and walkability of a real city, but room to breathe. I started in West Asheville, where I could open my front door and run to the river or walk to coffee without a plan. Then South Asheville, then East Asheville. I've lived it from the inside. I know what each part of this city feels like, not just what it looks like on a map. I still pinch myself when I'm pulling out of a parking lot and the Blue Ridge is right there behind the buildings. Every season it hits differently. I don't want that feeling to go away, and it hasn't yet.
I'm an early riser with a routine I love. Morning run in the RAD or Bent Creek, a cortado from Rowan or the Summit truck, then work. Evenings are volleyball — I play multiple leagues at Highland Brewing and with Asheville Hoppers, and it's become one of the best things about my life here. I would have laughed in your face five years ago if you'd told me I'd be on a semi-competitive sand volleyball team. The community it's given me is real. Wesley, my Springer Spaniel, has walked every street in West, South, and East Asheville with me. He's a good judge of a neighborhood.
