A client-first, market-leading buying approach that creates luxury experiences at any price point.

Building A Foundation

When we connect, my job is to understand your motivations to efficiently source homes and areas that complement the way you want to live. I know that family dynamics and needs can be complex, and can change quickly. My military background influences my sharp strategy and ability to pivot, adjusting our custom-built strategies to the market as it evolves.

A Refined Real Estate Roadmap

Through repeated success and a proven track record helping repeat and referral clients, I’ve encountered several transaction scenarios and various client dynamics.

Military family:

You may be relocating, or need to relocate in the near future; this means sourcing properties with the features that cater to an active military lifestyle, that are conveniently located near bases and roadways, and have great resale value.

Relocating working professionals:

The second-largest banking industry in the US, Charlotte is a hotspot for financial professionals. I’ve helped buyers from across the country (especially NY, TX, CA), and international buyers (mainly from Germany, Italy, Canada, the UK, and Japan). I can easily guide newcomers to homes close to work, amenities, and recreation that you’ll actually enjoy.

Divorced or widowed:

You are probably looking to resize your home, but maybe you want to stay in the same neighborhood. I'll show you manageable properties in your community that won’t require you to leave your comfort zone.

Retired or empty-nesters:

This marketplace is filled with diverse communities and lifestyle opportunities, so I’ll help you find real estate that fits your new lifestyle; whether that’s a retirement community, rural property, or a hidden gem in the city.

Second home:

The Charlotte area has an eclectic group of residents, a growing and diverse economy, and a range of real estate options. We guide investors to where investment fundamentals are strongest, help you navigate the rental market, and provide sage advice to help maximize your potential ROI and simplify your venture.

Pet-Friendly H0me Search

I identify properties that work with your family, and I know that finding a home isn’t just about people, but pets, too. We make sure your new home works for you and your furry family members!

My exclusive partner, Charlie, is the pawject manager at the Ashley Horton team, where her warm demeanor and energetic attitude help elevate your home search, and ensure you stay calm during the process.*

“My husband served with Ashley in the Marine Corps; she was honest with us about the process. She sent us information regarding property laws and tenant rights, and she advised us entirely. We also saw how hard she fought for other clients with more complicated issues. We appreciate Ashley for helping us buy the house of dreams and making it such a smooth process; in today’s market, we did not think it possible.”

- Roni Gallo

“Ashley was outstanding through the entire home purchase process. Everything in my life kept me extremely busy and distracted, but Ashley kept me updated, informed, and on task.”

- Buyer

“I sent Ashley a listing at 9am and at 9:45am we were at the house of my dreams, putting in an offer. It was just listed and there were multiple offers, so if she hadn’t been so quick and flexible, there's no way I would have my home!”
