Let us help you escape to the mountains.

Amy Ballou

Owner/Broker/Broker-in-Charge

Hi, I’m Amy Ballou, Owner, Broker, and Broker-in-Charge of New River Realty and Rentals.

With over 40 years of sales experience, including the last 8 years dedicated to real estate, I’ve had the privledge of helping clients achieve their real estate goals while closing millions of dollars in transactions. While I’m proud of those accomplishments, what means the most to me is the trust my clients place in me and the relationships I’ve built along the way.

I’m honored to have earned 5 star reviews on Zillow and to have been voted Best of the Best Realtor in Ashe County for the past two consecutive years.

I truly love what I do and enjoy helping clients at every stage of their real estate journey. Whether you’re buying your first home and need someone to guide you through the process step by step, searching for a larger home for your growing family, looking for a vacation home in our beautiful mountains, investing, 1031 changes, or selling your current home, I’m committed to making the experience as smooth, successful, and stress-free as possible.

For my sellers, I combine strategic pricing, professional marketing, and skilled negotiation to maximize your home’s value. I’ve helped many homeowners receive multiple offers, with some properties selling within the first 24 hours of hitting the market.

When I’m not helping clients, you’ll usually find me spending time with the people who mean the most to me – my family, especially my wonderful grandchildren, and my fur babies. I also love to travel when I get the chance!

Real Estate is more than a career to me – it’s my passion. Every client deserves exceptional service, honest communication, and an advocate who genuinely cares about helping them achieve their goals.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, I’d be honored to earn your trust and help you every step of the way. I hope you’ll be my next success story!
