Your Ideas Have Real Value

Whether it is a new product, a unique process, or a brand you have worked hard to build, intellectual property is at the core of innovation and business growth.

Maybe you have developed a new piece of technology and want to protect it before pitching investors. Maybe you have created a name and logo for your business and want to make sure no one else can use them. Or maybe you are growing fast and need a plan to safeguard your brand, your ideas, and your competitive edge.

We are here to help you move forward with a strategy — not guesswork. Our intellectual property attorneys are licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and we offer clear legal solutions that connect your IP to your larger business goals.

Trademark Services

A trademark is a word, symbol, name, or device, or some combinations of these things, that is used in connection with goods or services to identify the source of those goods or services.

Trademarks are source identifiers that inform consumers who has provided particular goods.  A service mark is used in connection with services, but both service marks and trademarks are generally referred to as "trademarks."  A trademark or service mark can serve to distinguish the source of goods or services of one party from those of other parties, which becomes part of the goodwill of a business.

We Believe Buying or Selling a Home Should be as Straightforward as Possible

A home is often the largest personal investment someone will ever make. Whether you are purchasing a house in North Asheville, refinancing a property in Black Mountain, or preparing to sell a long-held family home in Hendersonville, you deserve legal guidance that makes the process feel clear, steady, and manageable.

Residential real estate transactions involve many moving parts. Titles must be reviewed, contracts must be understood, and closing documents must be accurate. You want someone in your corner who understands the details and can anticipate issues before they derail your timeline.

That is where we step in. Our team helps clients navigate real estate decisions every day, whether they are settling into life in Asheville for the first time or managing properties across Western North Carolina.

What Falls Under Residential Real Estate?

Residential Purchases and Sales: Buying or selling a home involves more than signing a contract. We help clients understand the terms, identify potential risks, and ensure a smooth path from contract to closing.

Title Review and Due Diligence: We carefully examine title records, identify potential issues early, and work with all parties to resolve them efficiently. Our goal is to help you understand exactly what you are purchasing.

Refinancing and Home Equity Transactions: Refinancing should simplify your financial life, not complicate it. We review the documents, coordinate with lenders, and help ensure that your interests are fully protected.

Family Transfers and Gifting: Whether you are transferring property to children, updating ownership between spouses, or reorganizing family holdings, we guide you through each legal step with clarity and respect.

Second Homes and Investment Properties: Western North Carolina attracts many vacation home and investment property owners. We help clients evaluate contracts, understand local requirements, and complete transactions with confidence.

Practical Legal Support Beyond Closing 

Clear, Steady Communication: Real estate decisions can be stressful, especially when personal timelines, moving plans, and financing deadlines overlap. We keep you informed at every step so you know what is happening and why.

Practical Solutions for Local Needs: As an Asheville-based firm, we understand the region’s unique real estate landscape, from historic homes to mountain properties and private roads. That local knowledge helps us anticipate questions and address them early.

A Place to Sit Down and Talk: Our office in downtown Asheville is a welcoming space to walk through your documents, ask questions, and talk through your options. If you prefer to meet virtually, we are happy to accommodate that as well.

Who Our Residential Real Estate Lawyers Work With

Individuals and Families: From first-time buyers to multigenerational homeowners, we help clients make informed decisions about their property and long-term plans.

Relocated Professionals and Retirees: Many people moving to Western North Carolina want clarity about the purchase process, local customs, and the details of taking title. We provide that guidance.

Property Owners With Complex Needs: For clients who own multiple properties or are coordinating real estate decisions with estate planning or business interests, we offer integrated support alongside our trust, estate, and business practices.

Why Choose Us?

Experience With Local Transactions: We understand how homes are bought and sold in Asheville and the surrounding mountains. Our familiarity with local lenders, agents, and closing requirements keeps your transaction moving efficiently.

A Practical, Calm Approach: Residential real estate can feel fast-paced. We keep the process grounded and predictable, helping you make decisions with clarity and confidence.

Legal Guidance You Can Trust: Your home matters. We take the responsibility of advising you seriously, and we work to ensure that every step is handled with careful attention.

With my daughter's second birthday just passing, my wife and I decided to go through the estate planning process. BJ Kilgore and the Coffield Heedy Kilgore PLLC team made it efficient and easy for a reasonable price. It also felt great to support a local Asheville business. If you need your estate planned and you are in Asheville or anywhere else in North Carolina, you can't go wrong with BJ and the CHK team!
