About Billy Harris

Billy started his career with Keller Williams and quickly became one of the top producing Brokers in Transylvania County with a focus on lot sales and acreage tracts for private estates, conservation easements, and development tracts. In 2004, he was hired by McKee Properties out of Cashiers and opened Straus Park Realty in Brevard, where he was Broker in Charge for four years. His role was not only selling developer property, but also project management of the community. This involved completing the city infrastructure and commercial development of a grocery store, and 16,000 square feet of commercial condominium space.

In 2008 Billy joined Steve Owen and Associates and became Broker in charge of their Portfolio division focusing on marketing luxury and unique properties and large acreage tracts. Over the past 10 years, Billy has continued to rank as one of the top Brokers in the WNC Region.

Billy first arrived in the United States in 1992 and worked eight summers as a summer camp soccer coach in the Adirondacks in NY. After graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University in England, he set out on a four-year adventure traveling and worked his way through Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Thailand, and North America before he settled  in Transylvania County in 2002.

An avid outdoor enthusiast, Billy enjoys mountain biking, hiking, and running in DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest. Most mornings before work you can follow him on his Peloton rides.

Family is an important aspect in Billy’s life. He and his wife Kristy were married at “Pretty Place” at YMCA camp Greenville in 2003 and live in Cedar Mountain with their daughters Emma and Lucy, and their two chocolate labs.

“I believe my success in helping buyers find the perfect property in Western NC is due to enjoying what I do, caring about people, and working hard.”
