My Story
Carrie Ann’s connection to the mountains of Western North Carolina runs deep. Her love for the region began during childhood summers spent visiting her Mawmaw and Pawpaw in Henderson County, planting the early seeds of what would become a lifelong passion for these rolling hills, vibrant communities, and peaceful trails.
She went on to attend Brevard College, nestled just outside Pisgah National Forest, where she deepened her appreciation for the area's natural beauty and tight-knit culture. After spending several years building her career in Iowa and Philadelphia, Carrie Ann felt a powerful pull back to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and in 2016, she returned home to stay.
Today, she brings her lived experience, deep local knowledge, and values-driven approach to help others put down roots in the region that shaped her.

Life Outside of Real Estate

Zirconia is in Henderson County, close to Flat Rock, NC, and home to Lake Summit. with her wife and co-business partner, Angel, along with their beloved pets.
