Lisa Zinsmeister

As an active investor of residential and commercial real estate throughout Asheville, Fairview, Black Mountain, and the Lake James area, Lisa Zinsmeister has an expert local perspective of the city and surrounding areas. Lisa and her family have lived and worked in beautiful Asheville for nearly 15 years. Originally from Atlanta, where she was a business owner and entrepreneur, Lisa and her husband were drawn to Asheville's small-town charm and thriving cultural community as an ideal place to live, work and raise their children. She enjoys sharing her appreciation for the area with the buyers and sellers she represents, drawing from her experiences living in different parts of the city for a unique perspective. She has earned her REALTOR® license, is a member of the Land of the Sky Association of REALTORS®, is a certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert, and is a licensed broker in the state of North Carolina.

Lisa is well-versed in the opportunities and challenges of being both a homebuyer and a seller. As a partner with Premier Sotheby's International Realty, she prides herself on creating successful business relationships by building a foundation of knowledge about her client's wants and needs so she can work for them in an efficient and effective way. In addition to her background in buying and selling properties, Lisa and her husband have built several homes, giving her a comprehensive firsthand experience in selecting a lot to working with architects and builders to complete a project in a fun and enjoyable way. She appreciates both the nostalgia and excitement of renovating a classic home while also having a keen eye for a modern property and design.

Lisa and her family currently split their time between their homes in North Asheville and on Lake James, where they are active in both local communities. Her two children have been in the local public and private school system, and Lisa frequently volunteers with nonprofit organizations such as LEAF Global Arts, Open Doors, and Homeward Bound of Western North Carolina. A graduate of Georgia Southern University, Lisa enjoys traveling, hiking, wakeboarding, diving, snowboarding, and seeing live music in her free time.
