Anna Krauss

A native of North Carolina, Anna has always been drawn to the beauty and spirit of the mountains. After earning her BFA from East Carolina University, she followed her heart west to Asheville in 1999 — a place she’s been proud to call home ever since.

For more than two decades, Anna owned and operated a successful decorative painting business, transforming homes across Western North Carolina. Her work in hundreds of properties — from luxurious mountain retreats to charming North Asheville cottages — gave her a deep understanding of the local real estate market and a finely trained eye for quality and design.

That background naturally led Anna to real estate, where her artistic vision, attention to detail, and genuine care for her clients truly shine. She approaches every transaction with the same dedication she brought to her craft — listening carefully, understanding each client’s unique goals, and helping them make confident, informed decisions. Whether guiding first-time buyers, helping families find the perfect home, or advising sellers on how to best prepare their property for the market, Anna’s focus is always on her clients’ success and peace of mind.

Having designed and built her own home in Asheville, Anna brings firsthand knowledge of construction, design, and renovation to her real estate practice. She understands what makes a home both beautiful and functional, and she’s skilled at spotting potential — helping clients envision what a property can become. Her expertise allows her to offer practical guidance on everything from evaluating build sites and renovations to identifying long-term value.

Clients appreciate Anna’s honesty, insight, and calm, caring approach. She believes that buying or selling a home is more than a transaction — it’s a deeply personal journey — and she’s honored to be a trusted guide through every step.

When she’s not assisting clients, Anna can be found cooking for friends or tending to her flower garden. Deeply rooted in the Asheville community, she’s passionate about helping others find their own place to call home in these beautiful mountains.
