Nola Goodchild

Never forgetting the natural beauty of the Western North Carolina mountains, spectacular views and the warm friendly people of childhood vacations. Nola would dream of living in the mountains and thought it would be a great place for her sons to grow up. The small towns of the mountains have a great sense of community, diversity of culture and music. Their mountain communities believe in helping one another as they all do at Beverly-Hanks. She has been involved in multiple community outreach programs as a member of Rotary International, involved in the Day of Caring, St. Gerard House and Beverly-Hanks Annual Charity Auction. She still enjoys creating art, gardening, maintaining a strict fitness routine, enjoying the outdoors, and meeting new people.

She received a BFA degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in painting. Lived in Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, Austin and Florida before coming to the mountains in 1991. After a 20-year successful career in wine sales, in which she earned numerous accolades, she felt that her true calling was in real estate. Her attention to detail, ability to listen, determination and honest approach made her a successful realtor. In the first year she earned Rookie of the Year. 16 years later clients are still saying, "she went over and beyond her duties," and "Nola was lovely to work with, very patient, with excellent negotiation and follow-up skills." Vast knowledge of the area has helped her with a wide range of listings and sales in Henderson, Buncombe, Transylvania, Polk, and Rutherford Counties. There is no greater satisfaction than helping people to achieve their goal and dream of owning their own home.

She is a proud mother of two sons who were raised in Western North Carolina. The oldest, Jarrett attended Western Carolina University and received his Master’s in music composition and orchestra conduction at Central Michigan University.
