Allyson Etheridge - Owner/Broker
Allyson grew up in a real estate family; her father was a real estate pioneer at Sea Pines Plantation in Hilton Head; then moved to Amelia Island Plantation to play a key role there. Her mom is the top real estate agent for Amelia Island Plantation--a distinction she’s held for 20 years. Serving the needs of real estate customers is definitely in Allyson’s blood.
From 2001-2004 she served as the Retail Special Events and Marketing Manager for Amelia Island Plantation, working on the initial retail management team that opened the new retail center with ten upscale boutiques. She created and managed more than 250 retail marketing events a year while serving as a retail manager on duty over the staff in all ten stores. She won the 2002 Employee Idea of Year for Amelia Island Plantation by inventing an interactive company-wide calendar. Allyson also planned and implemented the Amelia Island Wine Festival to raise money for local charities.
In 2004 she joined Coldwell Banker Ashburn Real Estate in 2004 in Highlands, NC as a Sales Associate; she earned Sales Associate of the Year in 2005. She jumped in quickly to help her community, becoming a member of the Highlands Chamber of Commerce, Cashiers Chamber of Commerce, Highlands-Cashiers Board of Realtors, North Carolina Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and serving on the Highlands Wine Festival Event Committee.
As a broker for Carolina Mountain Sales, Allyson continues her community involvement as a member of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, the Asheville Board of Realtors, North Carolina Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and a member of M.O.P.S. of Biltmore Baptist Church.
Allyson, a native of Amelia Island, attended Episcopal High School of Jacksonville, University of Georgia and graduated from University of North Florida with a B.A. in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations.
Allyson and her husband Brian live in Asheville, NC with their two sons, Reynolds and Hayes, and their golden retriever, Sabal.
