As a leading Real Estate agent in the Triad area with a great depth of experience, I am a wellregarded REALTOR® and an industry innovator.

With my collaborative approach to real estate, I believe the client deserves the full service and attention that only a team of experts can consistently provide. At Ashley Meredith Homes, we aim to deliver top results and a seamless transaction experience for all our clients.
I was born and raised in the Greensboro, High Point area and have a great connection to the Triad.

I am especially passionate about the preservation of Historic Homes and enjoy spending time in my community advocating the importance of preserving and restoring the history of Greensboro. I also love being outdoors and am a big supporter of Lebauer Park in downtown Greensboro.
I have re-invested into my industry in a multitude of ways throughout my career which has given me the knowledge and skills to expertly guide my clients to reach their goals. My success is contributed not only to my passion for real estate, but also to my care regarding the process of buying and selling. The client relationship is especially important to me and I am dedicated to fulfilling all your real estate needs.

Client Testimonials
“We frst found Ashley years ago through a friend. She helped us buy our frst rental property. It was a smooth and easy process. We have now gone back and used her services again and found it just as easy and pleasant. Buying a house or property can be such a struggle, but Ashley and her team are easy to work with, very knowledgeable, responsive, and make the process as smooth and easy as can be expected. Particularly in the market today when houses go so fast - their willingness to show a property with minimal notice and provide insight into the bidding process was very helpful. We will certainly be calling again in the future for any more realty services we need. Thanks!”
“If you are searching for ‘The Best’ then look no further! Ashley’s honesty and professionalism makes her stand out in the real estate world. She helped us close the deal in a really competitive market. Thanks again Ashley and we look forward to working with you again in the future!”

Client Testimonials
“Working with Pati was like working with a close friend. She listened to exactly what we wanted and what our budget was. She helped with any paperwork questions (even after closing). She has reached out to make sure we are happy with our investment. In short, she is amazing and I can’t imagine working with anyone else in the future. I recommend her to anyone looking for a hard-working, honest, and caring realtor.”
Robyn Thomas
“Pati spent considerable time helping me fnd a home within 30 minutes of my new workplace. She was patient, easy to work with and ofered honest, direct advice. She resolved a dificult situation that arose during the due diligence period and was a tough negotiator for me.”
Jordin Schenk
“Pati has a very good understanding of the Greensboro real estate market. We were shopping for a property near the university and were truly pleased about the properties she presented. She was instrumental in selecting and negotiating a very fair price for the home we purchased. In addition, her guidance and professionalism while under-contract were equally important, since we were new to Greensboro. We continue to rely on her expertise today and would not hesitate to recommend her to our friends and relatives. Thank you Pati!”

Title Insurance
At real estate closings, the lender, if any, requires a title insurance policy (Loan Policy) to ensure that the lender’s interest in the property is protected. To protect your investment and ownership in the property, you also need a title insurance policy (Owner’s Policy). There are no annual payments to keep the policy in force. A one-time fee at the real estate closing protects you against a wide variety of risks to the title of your property.
As part of the seamless transaction for our clients, we are pleased to ofer title insurance through our wholly-owned title insurance company, Atorneys Title. Atorneys Title has
provided title insurance to North Carolina homebuyers for over 35 years. As an agent of First American Title, Commonwealth Land Title and Chicago Title insurance companies, our experienced staf and legal team are prepared to handle all of your title insurance needs. We have access to over 2 million prior policies and provide a reissue rate when applicable, to help ensure you are geting the best price for your title insurance. To take advantage of our streamlined process, simply indicate to the atorney of your choice that you designate Atorneys Title as your title insurance provider.
