November Meetup: 2026 into 2027 - How to Win in a Changing Market
As we approach the end of 2026, it's time to take a look back and evaluate what has worked for investors this year, discuss the state of where the market is now, and evaluate how we can continue to adjust strategies to be successful in 2027.
For our November Dealmaker WNC meetup, we're bringing together four local real estate professionals for a panel discussion on the current state of the Asheville and Western North Carolina real estate market, discuss what's actually working for investors right now, what has needed to pivot, and how we're preparing for 2027.
In this panel, we are going to cover a wide variety of factors that are affecting our local market - from interest rates, global economy effects, year end tax strategies, and how to stay profitable as an investor in a changing market.
Meet our panelists below! From property management, behavioral finance/mortgage expertise, to real estate marketing and tax consulting specifically for real estate investors. This is going to be a great, informative panel. Trust us - you want to be in this room! RSVP now!
Each Dealmaker chapter is locally run and operated, with a high focus in building real connections that create real opportunities to collaborate together and close more deals.
At Dealmaker WNC, we do not sell anything, and our events are free for anyone to attend - no matter your skill level! Our goal is to provide high quality educational presentations that are relevant to today's real estate market, and to provide a fun atmosphere for investors to network and build relationships that go beyond the monthly meetup.
Be sure to join us - RSVP Now!
