Patty and Ben met met in Atlanta in 1985 and have lived there and in central Florida until 1999 when they accomplished the dream of living in the mountains. The Woolfs came to real estate from a background of public education and law. Ben, a Boulder Colorado native, served five years as an assistant attorney general for the State of Georgia before moving into public education. Locally, he helped to create and build the Buncombe County Schools drop-out prevention program and joined Patty in real estate in 2007. Patty was born in North Carolina and grew up in Florida, the daughter of 6th generation Floridians. Her passion for the Western NC mountains developed early during family vacations in the Smokies. Patty entered real estate in 2001 from 10 years in public education. The couple has two wonderful children, Joseph and Katie. In addition to their family, both Patty and Ben have a passion for nature and balanced stewardship of WNC’s natural resources, heritage, and bio-diversity.
Patty and Ben bring to their real estate career strong communication skills, flexibility, and creative problem solving. These skills help the Woolf Team connect with their clients and be able to uniquely assess and address each buyer and seller’s real estate goals. Honesty, integrity, and a keen sense of ethics define Ben and Patty's philosophy of business: “Win-win” means that there is always a pathway to accomplish goals—even competing goals—and if all parties are seeking the opportunity to succeed, all will. The Woolf Team focuses on providing exceptional service based on knowledge, creativity, compassion, and communication and through this relationship earns clients for life.
