License # 316639

With over a decade of experience in luxury hospitality and real estate, my concierge services set the standard for excellence and discretion. Growing up immersed in the real estate world within a family of luxury property professionals, luxury builders, and an interior designer mother provided a strong foundation for my career and a keen eye for the nuances of construction and design. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Florida State University, attended the Graduate Realtor Institute, and am a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist.

Many of my clients rely on my local market expertise and industry knowledge when relocating to the Greater Asheville area from other parts of the country. Whether it’s new build sites, country club communities, or navigating local zoning restrictions and rental laws, I provide a wealth of relevant information to fit your specific needs. I understand that clear and timely communication is paramount to building client relationships and ensuring successful transactions. I use every challenge that arises as an opportunity to excel and most importantly, I ensure that my clients feel at ease throughout the process. Always grateful for repeat clients and agent referrals as they continue to be my main sources of business.

In my free time you can find me exploring the outdoors with my family or renovating my house! I love camping, hiking, sailing, skiing, water sports, antiquing, restaurant hopping, shopping, and attending live music. I have traveled to over 65 countries and am always looking for a good excuse to exchange travel stories with others!

Happy Clients.

“ I'm still waiting on the release of funding to have Kelsey Varga help in my search for a home in or around Asheville. She is rated #1 in my book.”

D.D | Seller

“ Kelsey was excellent to work with! She's very knowledgeable and responsive. She understood what we were looking for in a home and she steered us in the right direction. Both she and Liz took the time to show us homes that we wanted to see and were very patient. The entire experience from looking to closing on our mountain home was seamless and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Kelsey to anyone who's looking for their next home in WNC! “

Diem C. | Buyer

“ Kelsey made my Asheville home purchase as easy as it could have been. She was super-responsive and available. She not only helped navigate the complicated purchase, but also had great recommendations for all-things Asheville. “

Paul H. | Buyer

“ I've had the pleasure of working with Kelsey on several deals over the past year, and she simply impresses me more and more on every one. Her professionalism, communication, negotiation skills and general knowledge of the real estate world are as luxurious as the properties she sells/helps obtain. She's incredibly motivated, always intentional, and truly understands what properties match to her clients' visions. If you need anyone to help you with your WNC real estate needs... Do yourself the favor and work with Kelsey! “

Parker K. | Mortgage Manager at PlumDog

“ Kelsey was amazing! She helped us close on the house of our dreams, in the location we wanted, in a safe neighborhood, while having a limited budget! We really appreciated her flexibility - as we were not too sure about what we were looking for at first - and pivoting with us when going in a different direction. Her wealth of knowledge and experience is huge, about the area and the industry. She was friendly and trustworthy, we couldn't recommend her more! “

Marika M. | Buyer

“ Kelsey is a great realtor. She helped us sell our home in Rutherfordton! She is very professional and goes above and beyond with her marketing of the property . She is knowledgeable of the market and is good with guiding the negotiation process. We would definitely use her again. “

Deedie M. | Seller

“ If you’re looking for a realtor in WNC look no further. Kelsey was so helpful to us during the process of finding and purchasing our lot. At first I was concerned about purchasing a lot with a HOA but she was great explaining what different HOA’s cover and how it adds value to your lot. This prevented us from purchasing a lot with an HOA that was not actively taking care of the surrounding property. She was always responsive and good about staying on top of other individuals involved in the process. She went above and beyond and had even made herself available to us after our purchase. I am completely satisfied with the outcome of working with her and have already mentioned her name to others around us, possibly looking for a realtor. We got Kelsey’s name from the compass realtor that helped us sell our home. “

Derrick N. | Buyer

“ Kelsey recently helped me purchase my lovely new home in N. Asheville, where I just moved from out of state. She was, in a word, wonderful. She listened to my preferences and concerns and came up with a great slate of houses to look at. She and her assistant Liz provided valuable information about neighborhoods and trends in property values so that I could make the best choice. Kelsey also helped me negotiate a fair price and get an adjustment when we discovered the need for radon abatement. I never felt pressured, and I felt completely supported throughout the process. I would recommend her to anyone. “

Kathleen G. | Buyer

“ We cannot say enough good things about Kelsey. We were looking to buy a home in another state and she was there for us every step of the way. There's no way we would have been able to do this without her. She went above and beyond to make sure we "saw" each home we expressed interest in. She gave us the best advice when navigating the differences in NC realty, which were completely new to us. Most of all, we felt supported throughout the entire process. Anyone looking to buy a home in Western NC, whether you're in the area or several states away, should reach out to Kelsey! “

Chelsea O. | Buyer

“ This was our second time working with Kelsey. She was amazing to work with. Very responsive and always full of great advice. Would highly recommend working with her. Very professional and motivated. “

Shane M. | Seller

“ My husband and I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Kelsey and her team. We were purchasing our home long distance which presented us with many challenges that they overcame expertly. Even when we weren’t sure what we were looking for, Kelsey was patient and guided us through the process . We were able to narrow down the location that would be the best fit for us as a family and landed in West Asheville. We recommend Kelsey and her team highly and have every confidence that they will not only meet but exceed your needs. We hope to be in our house for many years to come but if not…we know exactly who to call. “

Katherine S. | Buyer

“ Kelsey Varga helped us find our dream mountain home in Weaverville, NC. Being new to western NC, it was easy for us to get overwhelmed in the search process–but leveraging Kelsey’s knowledge of the pros and cons of various locations from Brevard to Black Mountain provided focus to our search and steered us around pitfalls we didn’t see. She listened to us, but never hesitated to use her kind but firm touch when we were veering off course. That’s what we needed as new buyers in the western NC market. We definitely recommend Kelsey! “
