About Us
Zac and Rodrigo's initial interaction was sparked by a podcast interview discussing market statistics in early 2020. As their discussions progressed over the following year, they focused on real estate data, market statistics, and investment opportunities. Through these exchanges, the idea of organizing a meetup centered on market stats and actionable education took shape. AVLmeetup was the result of these conversations, and from the start it's core focus has been to improve Networking opportunities, Educational content, and Transactions from deal flow here in Asheville. We didn't know it at the time, but that would eventually become the basis for our NET Profits Philosophy.
Since then, our community has enjoyed consistent expansion, fueled by a supportive network of individuals who share a passion for learning, growth, and mutual success (we also provide ample networking opportunities over drinks!). Whether you're an active player in the real estate industry or simply interested in connecting with a community of movers and shakers, we welcome you to attend our meetings and join our community. We aim to create the area's most supportive and action-oriented real estate group, and membership is entirely free. By embracing our NET Profits Philosophy, we can help one another grow our businesses and mutually achieve success.
