Selling commercial property is more than simply listing, it’s about analyzing the market as well as your finances to have the confidence in your timing. When these line up its important to move forward with purpose. My approach goes beyond posting a few photos on the big CRE sites, I develop a comprehensive marketing plan with powerful media to capture your property in a way that allows it to stand out to potential investors.
Navigating any commercial real estate purchase can often feel like an overwhelming process. From contract negotiations through due diligence and closing, I pledge to be your partner every step of the way. Let me help you navigate these waters and find the best solution for your commercial investment needs.
As a landlord, your ROI is dependent upon finding quality tenants to fill your space and retaining them. I pride myself on going above and beyond marketing your property to potential lessee’s, I actively engage with the market with a goal of finding tenants who will utilize the highest and best use of your location and existing businesses. Finding the right tenant almost always has far superior results compared to simply filling the space as quickly as possible.
My multidimensional approach to finding your next lease broadens the considerations far beyond the average broker. It’s important to compare more than a break down of costs between available leases. Let’s work together to consider location, complimentary anchor properties, traffic, and how all of these factors fit into your long term business plan.
With an extensive background in the development world, I pride myself on what I bring to the table when it comes to everything from initial planning, land acquisition, long-term marketing, and establishing a sales team. Just imagine the value in having a partner within all of these aspects from the time of brainstorming through completion of sales.
I do not just provide my services locally, through my NAI affiliation and experience in the capital markets, I offer brokerage services for large scale investors Nationally and even Globally. Working with a variety of asset types I pride myself on being able to source both properties for buyers as well as buyers for property owners. I make considerable efforts to always be growing my owner database to have an ongoing inventory of potential off market deals for my clients, on and off market.
Mission Statement
I often use the word “Partner” in describing my relationship with clients. I am proud to do business from an approach of looking at my clients as business partners rather than transactions with dollar signs. My goal is to always work with clients from a long-term partnership approach to serve your best interests without question or influence from personal financial motivation. Communication is key from start to finish of any transaction and I make myself available at all times. I am never too proud to bring on an additional broker with more experience in your specific situation should it be a benefit.
Beyond the transaction side of this business, I invite all of my clients to utilize my market knowledge even when they are not actively looking to buy, sell or lease. A decision to sell or acquire real estate is often contemplated months or years ahead of partnering with a broker. Call my cell phone, send me an email, or shoot me a text with your market question, idea, or general thoughts you would like to “kick” around. My goal is to be your go-to for the Western North Carolina commercial real estate market.
Lastly, I choose to partner with NAI Beverly-Hanks because their values and approach to doing business are parallel with my own. I am proud to be a part of a real estate firm that looks at the big picture and long-term relationships far before personal profits. My coworkers are more family than anything else and our collaborative approach to serving our clients I feel clearly sets us apart in this industry. The NAI affiliation gives us the global reach other local firms simply cannot compete with. So reach out, let’s grab a coffee and talk!

Dr. Howe, Tuscaloosa, AL
“I just closed on some property located in Fairview, NC. The Beverly-Hanks & Associates sales executive with whom I worked is Jim Davis. Jim is the finest realtor I have worked with in the many years I have purchased personal and commercial real estate. He conducts business the way it used to be conducted, spending time with the customer, being personable and very knowledgeable, and going far beyond the customer’s expectations. He has an amazing ability to anticipate concerns and questions and addresses them even before they are asked. His responses are very detailed and well considered. Jim is a strong asset to your company, and I give him my highest recommendation.”
Sophie Silcox - Down Dog LLC, Asheville, NC
“From beginning to end, Jim was everything we needed! He took the time to understand exactly the kind of space we were searching for, which was pretty unique and challenging. He went over all of our options and we immediately knew we were in good hands. He guided us through the process, and introduced us to many people along the way, including the builder we decided to work with. He’s very well connected and seems to know Asheville in and out, which helped speed up the process and ensure we ended up in the best possible space. I’m so glad we found what we were looking for but sad our time with Jim is over, but I know we gained a friend for life through working with him!”

Aaron Meinch of Meinch Construction, Asheville, NC
“For 17 years my General contracting firm, Meinch Construction, Inc., has been building in Western North Carolina. Our company has had the privilege of working in one of the nations prime real estate markets. Over this time we have worked with some of the areas top brokers. With our latest real estate transaction I had the opportunity to work with Jim Davis of Beverly Hanks. From my first meeting with Jim I was impressed with his clear understanding of the current real estate market in Asheville. As a builder in the area, it is rare to find someone who has not only knowledge about real estate, but is also a real expert in market trends and knowing the new construction market. Jim and his team listed our new construction spec and had it under contract within one week, for the full asking price! Jim also stayed on top of the transaction and was able to help coordinate the closing of this property in only two weeks!
After seeing Jim’s work ethic and knowledge of the ever-changing real estate market, we plan to use him on future real estate transactions. Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication to making a painless and quick sale…”
The Lowell’s – Chicago, IL
“We heartily recommend Jim for his patient manner, long-term perspective, and his practice of listening carefully to his clients’ needs. As prospective buyers from out of town, Jim worked with us through a “roller coaster” process that required creative leadership to address the numerous challenges which came up in the purchase of land, finding and contracting with our builder, and dealing with concerns through the developer. Jim’s knack for clear, honest and direct communication and thorough follow-up will make him an asset to any real estate project.”
Tim Towery of Towery Builders, Asheville, NC

He has proven himself to be a very dependable person and has shown honesty and incredible integrity in all of the business and personal dealings that I have had with him. He always has his client’s best interests at heart at all times which is very important to me. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone who is in need of a real estate broker and/or other services that he provides.”
Sean Sullivan of Livingstone Design+Build, Asheville, NC
“I have had the pleasure of working with Jim over the last couple of years. Each experience seems to be more impressive than the last. Jim really gets to know his clients and he researches the right product to fit their program. I have seen Jim use means that other Brokers haven’t spent the time to master including; aerial photography to show the view from the actual finished floor, pull up specific apps to show unmarked utilities and boundaries on lots, and work with us to design plans for the specific topography of the build site. I would recommend Jim to anyone looking for property in WNC!”
