About Me

As a long time resident of the mountains, Eric has been a full-time real estate advisor representing buyers and sellers in the North Carolina High Country for 23 plus years. He's represented both buyer and seller clients with the purchase and sale of everything from:

  • Multimillion-dollar luxury homes in lifestyle-centric gated communities;
  • Farms and recreational tracts;
  • Building lots, residential developments, large acreage tracts;
  • New construction and builder spec homes;
  • Vacation and rental investment properties;
  • Townhomes & condos; and
  • Various classes of commercial real estate.
Prior to becoming a full-time real estate broker in 2001, Eric worked in the sports and entertainment industry brokering strategic alliances and developing sponsorship, licensing and promotional platforms for companies that sought to leverage their respective brand and/or entertainment assets with professional athletes, professional racing teams, racing venues, and sanctioning bodies. One of his more notable accomplishments was in brokering a multi-faceted strategic alliance between Universal Studios, Imagine Entertainment, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, and QVC.

Eric is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force and proudly served both domestically and abroad between 1981-1991. He is a graduate of Appalachian State University with a double major in Finance and Marketing. He brings years of experience, local market insight and knowledge to his buyer and seller clients, and is thrilled to be affiliated with Premier Sotheby's International Realty and the Sotheby's brand, two dynamic and forward-thinking organizations that are committed to setting the standard for excellence within the luxury real estate market segment in the High Country.
