For Chip Craig, president and founder of the 10-year-old company, the move into the commercial property business is a natural progression for Greybeard.

“With our rental management division and our real estate sales office, we already have the marketing infrastructure in place needed for a successful commercial division,” he explains. “And we are very fortunate to have Jane Shockey joining us as she brings more than two decades of local commercial real estate expertise to our firm.”

For Jane, it represents a chance to come back to her home town and work with an established team of Realtors.

“I’m excited to be able to focus on commercial property in the Black Mountain area,” she says.  “Greybeard is a natural fit for me, and I look forward to working in the community I grew up in.”

The commercial division, open immediately, will provide both rental and sales services for Greybeard clients.  Greybeard Commercial is a member of Western North Carolina Regional MLS (Multiple Listing Service), Karnes-Western North Carolina Commercial Property Exchange, and Loopnet.
