Real Estate Agent Ashley Sandahl
About
Born and raised in New England and now happily rooted in Western North Carolina, Ashley Sandahl blends northeastern tenacity with southern hospitality. A second-generation Realtor®, Ashley brings insight, empathy, and deep experience to helping clients navigate life-changing real estate decisions with confidence and clarity.
Ashley moved to the Carolina Foothills on a whim from Cape Cod in 2015, seeking a funky, foodie, dog-and-horse-friendly mountain town that wasn’t too cold or too far from the coast. What was meant to be a pit stop quickly became a forever home. Today, Saluda is not just her hometown—it’s her heartbeat.
With a special love for listings, Ashley has a knack for showcasing homes with personality, charm, and story. She especially enjoys working with older properties and brings them to life through her passion for video marketing, using dynamic, creative content to spotlight what makes each home unique. Whether it’s a vintage cottage, character-filled farmhouse, or equestrian dream property, Ashley knows how to make it shine.
Ashley holds the Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®) certification from the National Association of REALTORS®. This specialized training equips her to expertly guide clients through the often-complicated world of distressed properties, including short sales and foreclosures—providing valuable support to both buyers and sellers navigating these unique opportunities.
Deeply invested in her community, Ashley serves on the boards of Saluda Living In Place (SLIP), Saluda Sister City, and the Saluda Business Association. She’s the Production Coordinator at Mountain Page Theater, where she works year-round with youth, helping them explore self-expression and confidence through the performing arts. She also cooks monthly breakfasts for local veterans at the Senior Center and is the founder of Excuse Us While We Succeed, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs build thriving businesses.
Ashley’s greatest joy is being mom to her 6-year-old daughter, Nora. Whether exploring Saluda’s forests and rivers with their black lab or working side-by-side in the community, Ashley and Nora are all about soaking in the magic of the mountains and living with intention.
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or dreaming big, Ashley is here to help. She’s your go-to for real estate with heart, hustle, and personality—offering Homes, High Notes, and a Whole Lotta Heart every step of the way.
Testimonials
"Ashley Sandahl is a fantastic realtor. She helped us buy a home, and when our needs unexpectedly changed she helped us sell it and buy another. In all three transactions Ashley was invaluable. She always made herself available at a moment's notice, somehow got us in to see properties first to make sure we had a chance to bid in an incredibly hot market, and gave thoughtful sound advice throughout. When it came time to sell having Ashley made a huge difference. Her research and advice on pricing was spot on. Her listing was thorough and everything we could ask for- great pictures, a fantastic video, great marketing, etc. But what impressed me the most was her attention to detail. Ashley worked super hard to help us and we are so grateful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
-Tamara Scrudders
"What can I say? This is the third time I've had the pleasure of working with Ashley. She found a property that she KNEW I would be interested in, and the seller accepted 3 days later. This is the level of service you want when you deal with a professional. Not to mention the leg work she did to arrange the closing with my favourite closing attorney!"
-Signature Tastes

"Ashley did a great job for us with our land purchase.
We had problems with the sellers title and she was constantly emailing and placing calls on our behalf.
The communication with us through this difficult time was much appreciated."
-Vincent Salamone
"We put Ashley through her paces with a search that had many twists and turns. But she stuck with us even though we backed out of a couple of deals, and ultimately she helped us find the perfect place. The market here has been nuts, and we weren’t local so Ashley needed to be at the ready anytime something became available that we were interested in, and she was. Ashley was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her."

We decided to take the leap & she more than met our expectations. We are so happy with how the sale went & Ashley really went above & beyond to make sure we were taken care of."

She fought for us when we needed her to, and was just terrific through the process. Would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in the area."

"Ashley helped me sell my home in the Asheville area. As anyone will know there is a fair amount of panic and unease when selling a home especially if you have never done it before. Ashley helped keep me calm and explained things to me which is important when you don't know much about what you are doing. She put up with calls at odd hours and was always friendly and helpful. She not only made the process easy but made me feel like I had a friend looking out for my best interest. She got me the best price for my home and quickly. Thank you Ashley for all you did!"

"I just closed a home transaction with Ashley Sandahl, and fellow realtors let me tell you, I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this woman! She was communicative, responded timely, fought hard for her client's best interest, and helped ensure the transaction made it to the closing table as smoothly as possible. She is fantastic at her job, and knows WNC and Saluda well. I look forward to meeting her at the closing table again in the future."
