Whitney Commercial Real Estate Services is the only firm in Western North Carolina offering all three services of Commercial Brokerage, Property Management, and General Contracting in one office.
President and CEO Richard Whitney has assembled a team of experts to assist buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and investors with their property needs in and around Asheville, NC. Through aggressive marketing, intelligent prospecting and knowledgeable market research, the Whitney team participates in 20–25 percent of the regional WNC commercial real estate sales and leasing transactions.
Since 2001, Whitney Commercial has earned the highest levels of recognition from:
• National Association of Realtor’s Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) Institute
• Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR)
• Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM)
• North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors
Whitney Commercial Real Estate Services has been successful because it has stuck to its mission statement, which reflects three primary directives:
1. Solve problems for our clients following a strict level of transparency
2. Follow a commitment to excellence while striving for perfection
3. Specialize in building long-lasting and trustworthy relationships
Achieving excellence doesn’t just happen. Many commercial real estate problems are big ones. An owner needs to get out from under a mortgage. A landlord needs help leasing and managing a property remotely. A tenant needs to do major renovations. Whitney CRE Services can handle every issue.
Whether you are from Asheville, Miami, Hendersonville, or London, we can work with you and within your budget to find you the best property. Whether you just moved to the area, are considering moving your business to Western North Carolina, or are looking for real estate as an investment, Whitney Commercial Real Estate Services is the most sophisticated Commercial Real Estate firm in the region.
