Alysia Maher

Alysia knows all about moving!

Alysia has moved a lot. Born in Bournemouth, England on the southern coast of the United Kingdom; she immigrated to Toronto, Canada as a child with my parents. From there they applied to come into the United States of America, and settling in the Upstate New York area: Rochester, Brighton, Henrietta and then Scottsville. From New York, there was a stint in California; Thousand Oaks, Pasadena, Anaheim and Saugus, back to New York then to Florida, where she met her husband James, a native of Boca Raton, Florida.

They started their lives with much adventure living in Boca Raton, Pompano Beach and Key West, where they were involved with a bit of treasure hunting. When their daughter Shannon was born, Alysia became a United States citizen because it was the right thing to do! James and Alysia also realized that they wanted a more wholesome environment to raise their daughter, that "Mayberry" lifestyle as it were. They were truly fortunate to have found Henderson County, North Carolina. With three homes in different areas of Henderson County in 1993 they built their current home in Flat Rock.

Alysia and her husband have been strong supporters and advocates of many community-based organizations: Alysia's passion of education and nurturing, lead her to multiple volunteer opportunities within the Hendersonville Schools. She also was a mentor, regional and state level judge for the Odyssey of the Mind Program. They have been heavily involved in varying aspects with the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, Pardee Hospital, and many more. Giving back to the community is very important to them.

Alysia and James, and daughter Shannon, Florida State University Alumni, are avid FSU Athletic Fans, attending games in Tallahassee and varying other venues. They have attended the Olympics in LA and Atlanta, traveled extensively throughout this wonderful country.
Their daughter is living in the Washington DC area as an attorney with her son. James' daughter, Kim, is Self Employed in Logistics in the Atlanta, GA area.

Alysia and James adopted a client's Shih Tzu, as their health prevented them from continuing to care for little Cocoa. Alysia's other passions other than rescuing animals includes: photography, snorkeling, and continuing to travel and explore this wonderful planet.
Alysia has just become Broker in Charge eligible and continues to challenge herself in the learning experience to assist her clients.
