CMS Welcomes Aimée Pumarejo to Asheville Office

Asheville, NC — Carolina Mountain Sales, CMS, an ERA Live Moore company, welcomes Aimée Pumarejo to its Asheville office, further strengthening the firm’s presence with a professional whose background reflects both entrepreneurial success and a deep connection to the community.

For Aimée Pumarejo, real estate goes beyond transactions—it’s about curating meaningful connections between people and the spaces that support the way they truly wish to live. That perspective is shaped by more than two decades of experience building and leading businesses in Asheville, where she has been recognized for her ability to create spaces that feel both intentional and welcoming.

As co-founder of a local hospitality enterprise, Aimée developed and grew a collection of restaurants known for their thoughtful design, warm atmosphere, and strong ties to the community. Her work earned recognition from the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce through a nomination for the WomanUP “Woman Entrepreneur: Best in Business” award, underscoring her leadership and impact within the region.

That experience now informs her approach to real estate. Aimée brings a nuanced understanding of how people experience space, from daily functionality to the details that give a home its character. Her background in design, renovation, and restoration, combined with long-standing relationships with architects, contractors, and skilled tradespeople across Western North Carolina, allows her to offer clients a more comprehensive perspective when evaluating a property or planning for its future.

“Real estate, for me, is thoughtfully guiding clients to spaces that align with their lifestyle,” said Aimée. “Asheville is a community I’ve been deeply connected to for many years, both personally and professionally. I’m excited to bring that perspective into my work with clients. Carolina Mountain Sales offers a thoughtful, relationship-driven approach that feels like a natural fit for how I believe this work should be done.”

Clients are drawn to Aimée for her steady, thoughtful approach. She is known for listening carefully, communicating clearly, and guiding each step of the process with intention. Her work is collaborative by nature, grounded in trust and a clear understanding of her clients’ goals.

“Aimée brings a rare combination of entrepreneurial success, design sensibility, and genuine community connection to her work,” said Scott McKenzie, Broker-In-Charge with Asheville’s Carolina Mountain Sales office. “She has spent years shaping spaces and experiences that resonate with people, and that perspective translates seamlessly

into real estate. Her background, her relationships across the region, and her understanding of Asheville as both a place and a lifestyle make her an exceptional addition to our office. She reflects exactly the kind of professional we are proud to align with at Carolina Mountain Sales.”

“Aimée’s path into real estate is exactly the kind of story that resonates in a market like Asheville,” said Molly McNichols. “She has built businesses, cultivated meaningful relationships, and contributed to the fabric of this community in a very real way. That level of lived experience brings depth and authenticity to her work with clients. She understands not just the homes here, but the lifestyle and the people who make this place special. We are proud to welcome her to Carolina Mountain Sales.”

Outside of her work, Aimée enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the mountain trails, and remaining closely connected to the local businesses and neighborhoods that continue to shape Asheville’s character.
