_______________________________________________________________

Many Asheville Realtors try to restrict your access to the MLS because they want control over the process. The Jim Cottam Team’s approach is entirely different. We give you access to as much information as possible.

We created a Google Maps based home search tool that searches the Asheville NC real estate market, and we include the address of the homes, so you can drive by yourself. In fact, we’ll even help you help yourself with our free GPS loaner so you don’t get lost.

We’ve also had many buyers wondering if they could search for certain keywords, like “mountain view”, “downtown condo”, “green built”, “foreclosure”, “level lot” or “one level living” so we created an Asheville real estate search tool for that too. Just go to our advanced search page, scroll down, and type your keywords into the remarks field. Even Realtors don’t have the ability to search by keywords in their super-duper MLS search tool, so they use our site too!
