Meet Your Realtor

Leilani Annand

I moved to Asheville in 2018 with my husband and our two then elementary-aged children, drawn by the magnetic pull of the mountains I’ve loved since childhood. Growing up in the hills and valleys of upstate New York, I always felt most at home surrounded by nature. I had heard glowing things about Asheville while living in Greensboro, Charlotte, and Salisbury—but I thought it was all about the views and the brews. Once I arrived, I realized Asheville is so much more (but the views and the beer are fantastic!).
Asheville is community. It’s creativity, expression, and revival. It’s a place where people are free to be themselves—welcoming to all. It’s where you feel safe among neighbors who genuinely care. It’s an outdoorsy, vibrant lifestyle shared by young families, retirees, artists, chefs, farmers, and adventurers alike. And yes—if you don’t end up wanting a goat or chicken as a pet, or at the very least a few houseplants, are you even a true Ashevillian?
Before real estate, I built a career in Human Resources with a strong foundation in hospitality and nonprofit work. That background honed my skills in clear communication, attention to detail, documentation, and being a steady, honest voice when it matters most. I’m also a natural nurturer—caring deeply for the people I serve. When you’re my client, you’re my people.
I’m a proud mom of two, and our home is full of life: a Shih Tzu, cats, chickens, and a few beehives. I’m a big fan of Survivor and Alone—you will always find me rooting for the underdog. Whether you’re moving to Asheville or just exploring the idea, I’d love to help you find your place in this amazing community. From investment buyers and sellers to retirees, to first time home buyers, I can walk you through with ease, the knowledge you need, and the attention you deserve.
