INTEGRITY * CHARACTER * COMMUNICATION * EXPERIENCE * RESULTS

If you want the BEST personal real estate experience in Asheville, Hendersonville, Lake Lure, Rutherfordton, Tryon or the surrounding area, look no further. I'd rather give my clients superior communication, expertise, and excellent service and to do that, I only take on a handful of clients so that I may dedicate my time and attention serving their real estate needs.

I was born in Saigon, South Vietnam and left the country in 1975 during the war. I came to the United States as an immigrant and my parents soon after became legal citizens in this great country. My parents instilled in me a great work ethic, character, and integrity in everything I do. I saw them work hard to provide for us as they learned the English language. It was not easy growing up being an outsider but with these hard lessons in life, I learned how to adapt, grow, learn, communicate and contribute to this wonderful country.

I am a "Buckeye" and my alma mater is The Ohio State University where I earned a full-ride academic scholarship. Some interesting facts about me are that I received the Scarlet and Gray Scholarship, was on the Dean's List and also earned the OSU Stadium Honor's Scholarship where I was able to live in the "Horseshoe" which was the football stadium before it was renovated and the dorms were torn down for luxury boxes. I also played on the OSU Women's Rugby Team for 4 years and was a National All-Star Player.

My background before real estate was in the legal realm (law firms and general counsel of corporations) as well as the legal and business side of Fortune 500 companies such as Proctor & Gamble, General Motors, Ford, Sherwin Williams, Goodyear, US Steel, Cardinal Health, American Electric Power, Limited Brands, Parker Hannifan, DTE Energy, PPG, Heinz, Dana, Yum Brands, Lexmark, and NCR. I was also the VP of Marketing & Advertising of a technology company before moving to North Carolina from Ohio.

My education, background and over 20 years of corporate experience, allows me to continue to deliver excellent service as well as attention to detail so that my clients are well taken care of.

Whether it's first time home buyers, single-family homes to luxury homes, relocation or second homes - I deliver the same quality service to all of my clients.

My name is my brand and brand is my motto - Where Luxury Is Not A Price Point But An Experience... When selling or buying a home, you don't have the LUXURY of using the wrong real estate agent.

So if you know of anyone, I would so appreciate you recommending me to them.

“We are very lucky to have met Phi-Van early on in August 2018 when we were just starting to look into moving in the area! Not only was she super patient with us being first home buyers, but she went above and beyond to make sure that we would find the home worth fighting for. Even though we had a modest budget, she stood by her motto and treated us like we were rock stars buying our next chateau. Her expertise in buying (and selling) helped us make our decisions when it came to putting in our offers. Phi-Van is not just your realtor, she's your advisor and friend and only wants the very best for you.”
