Peggy Pinter, Residential Broker

Green Certification, General Contractors License, Overall Badass

An almost native, Peggy came to Asheville in 1998 to attend college at Mars Hill University. The kind people, beautiful scenery and abundance of activities kept her here. Since buying her first home in 2001, Peggy has explored many avenues in real estate from investing, remodeling, property management, and buying and selling of her own homes. After selling her restaurant Rise ‘n Shine Café 3 years ago, Peggy decided to devote herself to real estate full time as an agent and property manager to her 3 vacation rentals in the area. Always happy to navigate the buying or selling process, Peggy specializes in working with first time home buyers & those looking to buy or sell a second home in the mountains, either for investment, pleasure, or both. In her off time, you will find Peggy enjoying these mountains and streams with her young son.

Ada Faye Dudenhoeffer
Broker/Owner

Local Roots Realty is owned and operated by Ada Faye Dudenhoeffer. She is an Asheville native and a full-time Mom to an awesome kid. If she had hobbies they would be daydreaming about vacations and renovations.

“Over the years, I’ve been lucky to close many types of deals; both residential and commercial, urban and rural, luxury and trailers, large tracts of land, and city building lots. On every transaction, there is something to learn.

I choose to work for a company I own and operate for autonomy. As an Owner/Operator and a Broker-In-Charge, I handle all of the business aspects of the firm while also providing real estate services. I enjoy keeping my money local through charitable giving, advertising, and buying local when possible. I love the challenge of creating compelling marketing that reaches an audience I will align with.

I know you have many choices when hiring a realtor in Asheville. When you choose me, you’ll get the many benefits of hiring a truly local broker at a locally-owned company with decades of experience. I am proud to be a local business person who is invested in our community and driven to produce outcomes that exceed client expectations”.
