About Robin

Meet Robin

Robin has been an entrepreneur and creative thinker all her life.  She's never been accused of not having any ideas, and that is true when she is working with her clients to understand the potential of the houses they view on the way to finding their homes. Years in the architectural salvage business brought her in contact with the "bones" of buildings, and she still carries a pretty good sense of how a home is built.  She has participated personally in the deep renovation, and "green-rehabbing" of a half dozen homes and buildings for her family and understands firsthand the hard work and reward that comes from that.  A deeply-held belief that existing homes can be transformed into green homes and that every house could be greener drives her forward. 

Robin has a history in local government, supporting and encouraging more sustainable practices. She then spent years learning from the climate scientists in our region about the impacts that buildings have on our environment and communities and the potential for their transformation as we learn to live more in harmony with our world.  She earned a Master's degree with a concentration in Climate and Society as she dug deeper into how we make sense of a world that is changing around us.

She was a board member of the Green  Built Alliance, a founding member of the Collider, a climate and education center, and the founder of Reading Riding and Retrofit, now the NC Green Schools Program.

Her commitment extends to various aspects of the real estate market, including renovation projects, climate change mitigation, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the development of urban and small farmsteads. By aligning her expertise in real estate with her passion for sustainability, Robin aims to enhance the value of homes and create a positive impact in people's lives.

A seasoned professional with deep roots in Asheville and over three decades of active engagement in the community, Robin brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the real estate market. Her focus lies in the realm of green building and sustainable living, making her the go-to expert for environmentally conscious home seekers.

With Robin's guidance, clients can find a true partner on their journey to finding their dream homes and contributing to a greener future.
