Welcome to Allen Tate, where the magic of Asheville real estate meets world-class investment expertise.

I've been active in Real Estate for over 10 years, owning and managing both long-term rental properties as well as a large number of short-term rentals (VRBOs).   Real estate is a second career for me as I've had a long history in global marketing and sales leadership primarily in the technology industry.  I have a large family and we love dogs!  As a matter of fact, I'm a co-owner of Barkwells outside of Asheville.  I moved to Asheville full-time 5 years ago and absolutely love the area. If you are looking for your forever mountain home or want to explore investing in real estate, I can help!

My background is a seasoned investor and property manager who has spent the past several years passionately exploring and delving into the Asheville property market.

As an owner of over a dozen properties scattered across the breathtaking landscape of Asheville, my journey in real estate has been full of building experience in the Ins and Outs of efficiently acquiring and managing properties.  Having carefully curated a portfolio of high-performing properties, I have developed a keen understanding of the dynamic Asheville real estate market.

Investing in real estate is not simply a transaction; it's a journey. It's about identifying opportunities, overcoming challenges, and reaping the rewards of a well-planned strategy. My extensive experience with investment properties has equipped me with the tools necessary to help you navigate the complexities of the real estate market and maximize returns on your investments.

In a city as vibrant and varied as Asheville, where every corner hides a unique investment opportunity, having a seasoned guide can make all the difference. As a property investment specialist, my job is to shine a light on these hidden gems and offer you the keys to unlock Asheville's real estate potential.

Let me help and support you as you explore the Asheville real estate landscape. Together, let's discover the true potential of Asheville homes and investment properties.
