For Aimee Pumarejo, real estate is rooted in something deeper than the transaction. It is about helping people find a place that reflects who they are and how they want to live. As a longtime Asheville business owner and community leader, she brings a natural sense of care, connection, and attentiveness that comes from a multigenerational family tradition of welcoming others.
Before transitioning into real estate, Aimee spent more than twenty years leading teams and building businesses across hospitality and operations. As co-founder of a local hospitality enterprise, she created and grew a collection of Asheville restaurants recognized for their thoughtful design, warm atmosphere, and strong ties to the local community. Her work earned recognition from the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce through a nomination for the WomanUP “Woman Entrepreneur: Best in Business” award, honoring innovation and leadership in the region.
That foundation continues to shape how she serves her clients today. Aimee has a strong understanding of how people experience space, from the way a home lives day to day to the details that give it character and longevity. Her background also includes hands-on experience in design, renovation, and restoration. Over time, she has built trusted relationships with architects, contractors, and skilled tradespeople throughout Western North Carolina. This allows her to guide clients with a level of insight that goes beyond the surface, whether they are evaluating a property's potential, planning updates, or envisioning a long-term investment.
Clients value Aimee for her steady approach and thoughtful perspective. She listens carefully, communicates clearly, and remains focused on what matters most to the people she represents. The process is collaborative by design, shaped by trust and a shared understanding of each client's goals.
Outside of her work, Aimee enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the mountain trails, and staying connected to the local businesses and neighborhoods that make Asheville the best place to call home.
