Real Estate Agent Amee Houghland
About
Amee Houghland, although well-traveled with a history of being somewhat transient, has planted roots here in Western North Carolina and cannot imagine calling anywhere else home. Amee is especially passionate about all things outdoors, design, and using her skills, knowledge, and attributes to help others. She takes pride in doing her job well, responsibly upholding her fiduciary duties with integrity, while ensuring her clients that she truly cares; at her core, she is a caring helper and applies these qualities to everything she does. Her clients will be confident that they are in good hands, whether it be working with her directly or the broad network of reliable contacts she has for other related services all across the region. The process of buying and selling, although exciting, can also be rather daunting and overwhelming. Amee is there to help make that process go as smoothly and successfully as possible while meeting your wants and needs. She is thorough, engaging, organized, diligent, and exceptionally transparent. Amee has a background in construction, remodeling, design, and garden landscaping/design. After relocating her own family from Charlotte, NC to here in Hendersonville, she truly values the importance of having a quality agent that will do the work necessary to help a client relocate to the area. Amee shines when it comes to building genuine relationships. She wholeheartedly gives her clients her time while offering her hard-earned education, training, and passionate connection to these mountains and its coveted towns to ensure they land well. To this point in Amee’s career as a Realtor, she has happily brought ALL of her clients to closing. Something that is always important to Amee is that she confidently supports those she works with in order for them to make the best personal decisions possible for whatever phase of life they are in.
Testimonials
"My wife and I were first-time home buyers moving from out-of-town with some pretty specific requirements and limited knowledge of the local housing market. Amee worked with us, first, to help us really understand what we wanted. Second, to find the perfect house for us in an area she knew well. And third (and perhaps most importantly) worked patiently with all the principals - the other agent and buyer, my wife and I, and our extended families, to help us get our home. She was professional, attentive to detail, and a delight to work with throughout. I believe that we have our dream house now because we worked with Amee. I don’t believe we would be in as good of a position as we are had we worked with any other real estate agent. Amee’s ”can-do” spirt never wavered throughout the buying process. I highly recommend Amee’s services if you’re looking to buy or sell a house in the area.”"

"Amee found us our mountain dream home! We had a long list of requirements and weren't even sure what we wanted existed. We wanted land to roam, lots of privacy, quiet nature, running natural water, space and sun for a garden, old growth trees, a high elevation, as well as a big enough house for our family of 4, all while being close to town, school and amenities and staying within our budget. We were living in Chapel Hill when I first reached out to Amee via a text. She was very responsive with a phone call and for several months Amee sent us listings to review, all thoughtfully picked out with our requested specifications. She worked with us weekly, updating us with new homes. She spent a lot of time reading our feedback, and then sending us the best listings to view. When we finally visited Amee in person, she had scouted out a home that she saw having great potential and arranged a viewing. It was a listing that I never would have thought to check out if I were looking myself on Zillow, but Amee could see the potential and encouraged us to take a look. When we drove up and saw the waterfall next to the house, and turned around and saw the long-distance view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a home surrounded by gardens and birch trees and giant rock formations, we knew we were home! Amee had somehow found us a perfect spot, just 8 mins from school and markets. Finding this property was just the first part of how Amee helped us. We were still some time away from being able to close. Thanks to Amee's vast knowledge and expertise, she was able to negotiate the purchase of the house for us, under our unusual timing terms. Throughout all the lengthy process, Amee has been lightening fast to respond to messages, never frustrated with our many questions and concerns, and always calm and collected, even under pressure. Someone else recommended I work with Amee, and I'm so glad that we did. Thank you, Amee for finding us our mountain home, it never would have happened without your help. I would recommend anyone looking for a home in Western NC to work with Amee."

"I worked with Amee on the purchase of a few acres of forest land, which was a dream come true for me, and Amee helped me bring the vision to life! When I first reached out to her, I was hesitant to share my interest in developing a nature preserve because I was afraid I would only be taken seriously if I were planning to build or develop the land. Amee is also a nature lover so she understood immediately! The land was quite overgrown and Amee forged a trail where none existed, taking the brunt of the spider webs and brambles, all to make sure we were able to see as much of the property as possible, which was definitely above and beyond! When we reached the back of the property and saw the views, we knew it was well worth it. Amee has also connected me with several wonderful service providers who can help me learn about the property. Even this week, a full week after closing, Amee connected me with a biologist who can help to identify the species and tomorrow I'll be meeting with someone who can assist with creating trails and treating some of the invasives. I am eternally grateful to Amee for helping to make this vision a reality! I am confident she was the best possible Realtor for me and I would highly recommend her because of how much she cares about what is important to her clients."

"Amee Houghland recently assisted my partner and I in locating a home in the Hendersonville area. Amee went above and beyond assisting us in many ways on our recent purchase. She was always available, responded quickly and was diligent in her research to provide us with answers to our many questions. We had a very short DD period. After Amee negotiated our offer and it was accepted (out of 14 offers!), Amee wasted no time in locating and scheduling various numerous home inspectors. Amee navigated the home buying process with professionalism and was very passionate and understanding of our needs. We are very comfortable in our new-to-us home and love being in Henderson County. We are very thankful she was there for us. If you are looking for a home, you should give Amee a call. You won't be sorry! Thank you, Amee!"

"After a 40 year career it was time to retire and move from Arizona to North Carolina. During that span, my wife and I have purchased 10 homes in 10 different locations. Amee by far provided us with the most positive experience out of all the real estate agents. Her knowledge, enthusiasm to truly help her customer clients and patience helped make our dream retirement home come true. Not only did her knowledge help us find exactly what we wanted, but her other skills and contacts helped us complete renovations to the inside of our home and out. My wife and I are so excited about our retirement home that we purchased and appreciate all the work Amee did in helping make this happen."

"What a journey! Time has both stood still and day and night have blurred together in the last 2 months. It is surreal and exciting to have finally reached the mountain top together. The view is expansive; we can catch our breath and revel in this present moment. Thank you for guiding us here. Truly none of this would be possible without you. From the first moment, you were open to “what if”, always supportive, always advocating for us, with patience and clarity that was encouragement and comfort along the way. We are literally at the doorstep of our new home. Thank you for helping create a future for us to live into. Inside this home we will raise our children, host family and friends, open our door and dinner table to community, tend to a lively garden, and grow our family. Now that our professional relationship is coming to a close (at least for now) we hope to continue our friendship. The newly fixed door is always open to you. Thank you Amee."
