Who is Mary Love?

Mary Love is a community oriented Realtor with a passion for the environment and helping others. Before starting her Real Estate career in 2004, she worked as a Teacher and Administrator in schools and was an Environmental Scientist. She wrote the Pollution Prevention Report for the Blue Ridge Parkway. Some might wonder why real estate was the next move in her career, but it combined all her loves together. Knowing that the house is the center of the heart and the center of the family, she wanted to help others find sustainable, and healthy homes in Western North Carolina.

Mary’s desire to start a Real Estate company that is sustainable for future generations was an organic process. Her hope is to have Love the Green Team become a sustainable model for all Green industries. Our systems provide consistency for clients and team members, therefore removing confusion, stress and hassle for everyone.

Love the Green Team is a woman owned and veteran owned company. Along with their sister companies, specializing in property management and green rehabilitation, Love the Green Team strives to be the company of choice for Western North Carolina’s eco-minded community and to promote the concept of agrihood communities, such as Olivette.  Mary prides herself with being a connector and is always happy to help facilitate positive relationships between new and established people in the Asheville community.

In 2016, Mary was awarded the GREEN award by the National Association of Realtors. Her certifications include System Vision, Building Professional Industry, ECO, Home Energy Star Rater, NAR GREEN, and Workforce Housing. She was also the project manager for the original Green Built NC certification program. Mary has been active volunteering in the community with the Campaign for Southern Equality, Land of the Sky Association of REALTORS®, The Green Built Alliance and The Asheville Chamber of Commerce.

Mary Love and her wife and business partner, Deb, moved to Asheville and discovered their chosen family among the diverse and welcoming community in the mountains. When not working, the couple loves traveling. Mary loves working in her garden, sharing the harvest with friends and neighbors, and curling up with a good book.
