About Me
Rowena is the founder of Patton Property Group at Keller Williams Luxury Division. Her background is marketing which lends itself to the marketing focus of the company, driven by new and more effective ways to search for homes for buyers, and a port folio approach to selling a home for customers. This offers a myriad of ways over and above previous approaches of signs and lock boxes on a home for sellers, and a way to find a home more effectively and in a more enjoyable manner for buyers. Patton was recently awarded #1 for the Carolinas and #3 for Keller Williams International out of more than 74,000 agents for the first year of business.
Markets
She keeps herself firmly grounded as the seller, buyer and investor working with Realtors that she was just a couple of years ago, knowing what kind of service she expected from a Realtor. She has sold and bought in tough markets in England, UK, Washington DC, San Diego, Miami Beach and the greater Asheville area, including Asheville, Lake Santeetlah, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Hendersonville and the surrounding counties of Asheville. Rowena has experienced markets that are inventory heavy, to Washington DC in the late 90s where escalation clauses were written into the contracts (we'll pay up to $X more) due to multi offers coming in! Today's market is shifting more towards buyers, however the wonderful thing about housing is that prices have historically gone up and down, but always in an upward shift overall. We all need somewhere to live! Says Patton, "With mortgage rates historically low and a more homes to choose from for buyers, I truly believe that this is a great time for me to be helping you with your primary or vacation home, or your investment. For my sellers, I offer a vast marketing suite of tools that are much more important in a more difficult market environment"
Investing
If you are interested in investments in the greater Asheville area, there are key search criteria one can use in this market to find properties that meet your goals. Rowena has built a search model that she uses for her own search when looking for investment properties.
Similar search models can be built when you are looking for a primary or vacation home. This coupled with knowledge of neighborhoods and areas can save you a lot of time.
If you are selling a property, we have one of the most broad offerings in terms of a marketing port folio for your home. You get to choose what level you would like to be at and what commission you would like to pay.
We look forward to helping you with your property requirements and strive to provide a different experience for you in the real estate environment.

Testimonials
"Roni and David, Florida
"We have bought and sold a great deal of properties over the years, and Rowena was the first agent to provide us with the most organized search with maps and details I have seen. As we live out of town in Florida, she spent a lot of time helping us with the areas where we were looking and what kind of house we could find for our budget. We looked at a number of properties that all fell within what we had asked for, and fell in love with our dream mountain home. I couldn't have found better service. She negotiated a great deal for a wonderful home. She's the kind of Realtor that gives the profession a GOOD name."
Joan
Just want to say thanks again for all you've done. You've made the buying of my new home smooth as silk! Your encouraging words, helpful suggestions, and unceasing patience were and are such a blessing. The pictures and the website are absolutely works of art.
Thank you again for all your help, Ro, and I look forward to working with you on the sale of this house.

Jacquelyn & Ephraim
We have moved around the country and worked with a number of realtors. In our experience Rowena stands out. She consistently extends herself to provide quality service beyond our expectations. Knowledge and expertise are givens. The bonus we get from Rowena is her cheerful, friendly and caring attitude. The combination provides a feeling of comfort and confidence that we deeply appreciate. We highly recommend her.
Susan Haga Thomas, Austin TX (Seller)
I am writing to express my appreciation of your agent, Rowena Patton, who listed and has sold my house in Asheville. I had already moved back to Austin, where I had multiple eye surgeries scheduled, and Ro took over completely the huge chore of readying my home for the market, making smart decisions about what repairs, paint, and improvements should be made and which ones we could leave as is. She oversaw all this work for me, even doing a good bit of it herself, including cleaning bathrooms and windows and installing new kitchen cabinet hardware. I have bought and sold many homes and have never seen her level of commitment. In fact, it was Ro's enthusiasm and ideas to market the house which caused me to select her over other agents in the first place. But this was not the end of her skills: a soil inspection revealed a leaking oil tank and contaminated soil. This was quite nearly a deal-breaker for both parties, but Rowena's skill at negotiating what appeared to be an insurmountable impasse, resulted in a new, signed agreement satisfactory to everyone. Rowena is a talented real estate professional, I would even say she has genius, I am grateful to Keller Williams for having her on staff for a job done well and exceeding my expectations

Hi Pam
It's a struggle here I know, to find stick built homes in that price range. Although Manufactured homes tend to depreciate rather than appreciate, it sounds like your Realtor has done a great job in finding you that piece of land. The land should appreciate when the market improves. A couple of considerations - if you are going to build a stick built home on it eventually, consider the surrounding properties and whether they will detract or add to the value of the new home that you intend to build. Ask your Realtor to run comps on the land itself so that you can see what value the land is, and what they are valuing the manufactured home at. That way, as you are considering the primary value to be in the land you can make an informed decision on whether the probability is high the land will increase in value over time and whether it provides a good spot to build your future home on.

Craig's list is a good idea as a resource. Are you asking as an investor that wants to rent out property or as a renter? There are various links I can send you depending on your answer. As there are more homes now on the market, many sellers are prepared to offer a lease purchase agreement where you could rent to buy. As this becomes more popular, the awareness is growing. Also, more sellers are prepared to offer their homes that are currently listed for sale as rentals. As the rental inventory grows prices tend to go down on rent - simple supply and demand. If you are an investor there are key places to buy to rent out. Rowena 828 669 6671. rowena@pattonpropertygroup.com

Hi Dean, Here's a link to various waterfront communities so that you can peruse at your leisure!

Hi Dean. Are you looking for a vacation home or full time living? The Asheville area has some beautiful lake areas. If you are looking for a full time residence where you are driving into town to work or play on a regular basis, there are few lakes that offer this under a 30 minute drive. Sometimes those 30 minute drives are on beautiful country (but windy) roads. Many people have second homes on the lakes here as a 'getaway'. You may also consider Black Mountain, which is 15 minutes easy hwy drive to Asheville, and a thriving restaurant town in its own right. It is about 20 minutes north of Lake lure so offers you the lake fun when you want it. Lake Lure itself has some wonderful homes lake front, and many developments around and about. The town comes alive in the late spring through late fall. If you would like listings in any of these areas email me and I will send you a report.

http://www.pattonpropertygroup.com/article/view/19898/1/3506/
The Cliffs do a great job in each community that they have developed. As you may know, they are developing very high end properties each with golf courses and or lakes. Residents at the Cliffs get use of the wonderful facilities at the other Cliffs communities. I have lived in a number of places, UK, DC, CA, Miami Beach and now Asheville NC, actually Black Mountain close by, and we have settled here due to the wonderful mountain scenes wherever you go, a great climate, very friendly people and I understand why Asheville is continually voted the best place to live in the US. You may have seen recently we were also awarded the happiest place! Hope this helps give you an idea of the area. Rowena 828 669 6671 rowena@pattonpropertygroup.com

Hi Lori, here is a link to all kinds of school information for the area. I live in Black Mountain and it has old fashioned charm and a thriving downtown. We are known as the 'restaurant town'. We like the small town feel, while only being 15 minutes from Asheville. Here is the link:

Hi Lori. I live in Black Mountain and as you may know we are one of the towns around Asheville that continues to attract people relocating, I'm glad you are thinking of living here! I work in the largest Realty office in Asheville so I see the market in the greater Asheville area as well as Black mountain. Christi Hanley is my buyer's agent and she is quite knowledgeable about schools in the area as well as being able to suggest other good school districts - she can be reached at 828 808 1847 or at Christi@PattonPropertyGroup.com. She has recently been exploring school choices herself so she is up to date on the latest! I think we need to explore a bit more around what kind of school would suit your children. The great news is you have a lot of different options in the area.
