Our Team
Michael Stratton
Broker in Charge (BIC) and Firm Owner
When Michael and Amanda Stratton, moved back to western North Carolina in 2015, investing in real estate was not a financial goal of theirs. Sure, they had heard the old adage “buying a house is one of life’s biggest investments”, but in reality, and having both grown up in western NC, they just wanted to find a HOME to move home to.
To their surprise, unlike investments made in traditional stocks, bonds, and 401K’s that can take years to mature, real estate investments can begin to bear fruit almost immediately!
In less than 10 years they are now the proud owners of 3 investment properties in the City of Asheville, a property management firm responsible for over 30 properties, and a groovy hippy van touring business.
When they are not home in Asheville they operate their business remotely as they travel throughout across the globe.
To say the least, they have learned MUCH since they made their first investment. Particularly, the biggest takeaway is the sheer life changing power of real estate investing.
If you want to learn more behind the “how” consider setting up a free consultation with Michael!
