Randi Beard

After being a corporate meeting manager for thirteen years, Randi Beard is expanding her interest in real estate, which has included investment and currently acting as substitute trustee for foreclosures, by joining Keller Williams.  Randi first fell in love with the area working as a whitewater kayak instructor for the Nantahala Outdoor Center, and, after living in Southern California and Atlanta, returned to the mountains knowing this would be home. 

With husband Andrew and four-year-old son Beck, Randi enjoys the many outdoor activities this area offers, including biking, hiking, running and water sports.  Randi brings her experiences gained from extensive international travel and the corporate world to her work and is comfortable working with all types of buyers and sellers. 

Her passion for real estate is contagious and she looks forward to every new experience with buyers and sellers.  "Home is so important to me that I really care about finding the perfect fit for everyone else. For me there is a sense of peace that emanates when someone has found their haven.  I want that for everyone."
