Hannah Smestad

Transaction Coordinator/Broker

I grew up in South Florida, enjoying the beaches and year-round warm weather, but always wishing to experience all four seasons. As soon as I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with my bachelors degree in Psychology, my husband got a job offer in Asheville. After one, two-day trip to the mountains, we were loading up our cars with all our belongings, Sphynx cat, Edgar, and Chihuahua, Tito. And the rest is history. Between the friendly people, great restaurants, the plethora of outdoor activities, and finally experiencing all four seasons, I had never felt more at home. In my spare time you can catch me hiking the Laurel River Loop with my dog Tito, enjoying a delicious meal at one of the many fantastic restaurants in the area, or traveling the world with my partner in crime.

I worked in the food and beverage industry for close to a decade but when I moved to WNC, I knew it was time for a change. I was so tired of working those crazy, unorthodox hours that the restaurant business required. A top-producing real estate team in the area took a chance on me, having no administrative or real estate experience, and hired me as their transaction coordinator. Little did I know that this job was going to change my career path, and ultimately my life. I fell in love with real estate. I not only loved browsing through listings, but I loved the constant challenges and problem solving the job required. After almost three years as a transaction coordinator, I decided to take the leap and get my real estate license.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, relocate, or invest, I have the knowledge, resources and support to make your dreams a reality. Buying/selling a home can be intimidating and stressful but I am committed to making the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
