About Jeffrey
For 21 years of his life, Jeff Byrd disseminated more local Tryon information than anyone else in the area. As owner and publisher of the Tryon Daily Bulletin during that time, it was Jeff’s job to have his finger on the pulse of this dynamic community, keep people informed and tell the stories that make this area so special. Like any good journalist, however, Jeff will tell you the real key to his success was not in his wealth of local knowledge accumulated over the years. Instead, it was all about listening carefully to the sources he interviewed. That is how he really got the information in the first place. And Jeff is still listening carefully to this day. But more on that later…
Jeff is not sure what first sparked his interest in journalism, but it manifested itself at an early age. He remembers asking for a small printing press as a gift when he was only nine years old. With that press, he created the “Neighborhood News” which he sold door to door. Jeff’s neighbors happily coughed up a quarter each to support this obvious passion project.
Jeff went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in Journalism at the University of Colorado and later his Master of Liberal Arts at UNC-Asheville. He embarked on a career as a reporter but soon gravitated toward management in every publication for which he worked. It was during his time running a paper in Richmond, VA, that he heard about the opportunity to purchase the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Jeff and his wife, Helen, came to investigate and quickly fell in love with the area and its people.
Jeff’s years of local insight are sure to help you accomplish all your real estate goals. Jeff’s years of local insight are sure to help you accomplish all your real estate goals. When Jeff took ownership of the Daily Bulletin, it had a small format and was one of the most unusual publications he had ever encountered. But he quickly realized what a strong connection it had with the community. For the next 21 years, Jeff fostered that relationship and became deeply ingrained in the community himself. His success as a business owner and involvement in civic clubs and organizations even earned him a spot in The Carolina Foothills Chamber Hall of Fame. Jeff simply attributed his success to his willingness to listen carefully to what people had to say and acting in kind.
Jeff eventually sold the paper, but he went on to put his community ties and listening skills to effective use as a local real estate professional. With so many local resources and a wealth of local insight, Jeff possesses a vast knowledge of the area and an impressive network of contacts and colleagues throughout the region. But the most important aspect of Jeff’s job always goes back to listening. When you work with Jeff toward the sale or purchase of a home, he takes your needs and goals to heart and does everything in his power to help you succeed.
