Client Testimonials

Jim went above and beyond the call of duty to get the best deal possible for us. And while we had hoped for a higher sales price, given Jubilee's financial situation, going with a commercial real estate auction company as Jim suggested wound up being the best possible route for us. Jim was always available to promptly, clearly, and honestly answer our questions, no matter how simplistic those questions might have seemed. And it was clear throughout the process that he had our best interest in mind. Jim was prompt, personable, thoughtful, well-informed, respectful, and honest, and I recommend him highly to anyone seeking a highly intentional, hardworking, top-flight commercial real estate agent. You are welcome to have any prospects who are interested to contact me about my high regard for Jim.

Bruce Mulkey - Administrator, Jubilee! Community

"Working with Jim Davis to sell our office building was very easy. Jim took the time to explain the best way to present the property, and kept us informed about what was happening. His knowledge of the market and how to best approach it resulted in fast viewings, and ultimately in several excellent offers. I highly recommend Jim!"

Dr. Brosnan - Brosnan Eye Assocaites

"My sisters and I had a need for a commercial realtor to help us sell our family property. The property was recently rezoned as commercial.  Jim Davis was referred to us and he was excellent.  He was knowledgeable about the changing real estate market in Mills River.  Jim guided us through the entire process from the initial listing through the close.  He was even available for conference calls with one of my sisters who lived out of state.  Jim was very professional, and he was also empathetic to the fact we were selling our childhood home (that would likely get commercially redeveloped).  With Jim’s guidance, we were able to sell our property quickly and for full asking price.  We enjoyed working with Jim and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a real estate agent.  Thank you, Jim, for all your help and guidance!"

Robin Essex - Mills River, NC

“If you want to get a deal done with integrity and care, Karl is the one to call. Being an out of state commercial real estate buyer, with limited market knowledge, the acquisition process can be a challenge. Due to Karl's superior market knowledge, he was able to find the perfect property for our business. This transaction would otherwise have been nearly impossible without the attention that Karl was able to provide.”

Gary Williams - Four Corners, LLC

"We engaged Patrick Johnson in 2015 to help us find a location for our new business. We had a very specific vision for what we were looking for and Patrick was very patient during the process, showing us multiple options throughout WNC and even helping us research incentives through local economic development departments. Ultimately it was Patrick’s connections that led us to find the right commercial lease. Not only did he put us in touch with the right people to get our business off the ground, he continues to be an ardent supporter several years later. We look forward to working with Patrick again in the future!"

David Ackley - Ginger's Revenge, Asheville, NC

“From beginning to end, Jim was everything we needed! He took the time to understand exactly the kind of space we were searching for, which was pretty unique and challenging. He went over all of our options and we immediately knew we were in good hands. He guided us through the process, and introduced us to many people along the way, including the builder we decided to work with. He’s very well connected and seems to know Asheville in and out, which helped speed up the process and ensure we ended up in the best possible space. I’m so glad we found what we were looking for but sad our time with Jim is over, but I know we gained a friend for life through working with him!”

Sophie Silcox - Down Dog LLC, Asheville, NC

“Karl is so easy to work with. He listened to our needs and goals and was able to put a plan in action. We needed to find opportunities that had substantial growth and income potential. Karl was able to find properties with tremendous upside potential that allowed us to maximize our investment dollars to increase cash flow and equity. We have used Karl for a number of investment sale deals for dispositions and acquisitions, and it's always been a pleasure. Thank you Karl!”

Zach Stout - The Runner Fund

We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Jim Davis in our quest for a  site for our Nerds To Go franchise business. Working closely with our franchise support team, Jim guided us step-by-step through the entire process to help us find and secure our perfect retail home here in Asheville. The lease terms were exactly right and we very much look forward to working with our new landlord. Jim's professionalism is second to none - as is his kindness, encouragement, and confident demeanor. We can't thank you enough for all you have done for us, Jim. We wish you the very best. You well deserve it.

Brian Stauffer - NerdsToGo Franchise Owner, Asheville, NC

“Karl is a problem solver with great patience and perseverance! Due to creative thinking, Karl was able to put a complicated deal together that we would have otherwise passed on. He found a strategy to allow us to meet our investment goals, and provide a guaranteed stable source of income.”

Rick Del Carlo - STO Investments

“We heartily recommend Jim for his patient manner, long-term perspective, and his practice of listening carefully to his clients’ needs.  As prospective buyers from out of town, Jim worked with us through a “roller coaster” process that required creative leadership to address the numerous challenges which came up in the purchase of land, finding and contracting with our builder, and dealing with concerns through the developer.  Jim’s knack for clear, honest and direct communication and thorough follow-up will make him an asset to any real estate project.”

The Lowell’s - Asheville, NC

“We feel most fortunate, indeed, to have chosen Jim Davis to represent our interests while selling Carter Street Parking.  From the moment of our meeting his every word brought something of value.  Jim's familiarity with Asheville's commercial real estate market combined with his patient manner and determination to accomplish our desires led to a smooth closing.  We recommend Jim Davis most enthusiastically."

Narvel James Crawford - Former member of the NC House of Representatives 

“When my partners and I started looking for commercial restaurant space, we were complete novices in the world of commercial leases. While I am an active NC residential broker, I knew that I should not represent us in a commercial transaction. Jim was the perfect commercial broker to guide us through the process. He was knowledgeable, well connected and maybe most important, patient with our ignorance. He did an excellent job of walking us through the nuances of commercial negotiations. With our lease in place, Jim went above and beyond, introducing us to contractors and business suppliers.  As our business grows and we seek additional space, we will definitely continue working with Jim.”
