Our Story

How Altitude Real Estate Group Began!

Altitude Real Estate Group was founded in 2018 as a small, independent brokerage dedicated to delivering exceptional, client-focused service. As a newly licensed agent in 2020, Austin had completed his initial training at a large scale firm, but found himself wanting something different. He found Altitude and was intrigued by their branding appearance and mission, and decided to switch over and land here! At Altitude he was able to secure his first sale, which ended up being quite serendipitous.... The owner of Altitude was considering stepping down from that role and Austin offered to buy the firm, with his very first commission check! 
After making the purchase, he implemented some serious changes in the operations of the firm and utilized his international business degree to restructure the brokerage. His modern approach to lead sourcing and client outreach proved to be a success, and after about a year in business he began looking for new brokers to join the team. 
Cue Sarah. Austin and Sarah met a year prior when he was newly licensed and showing homes to his brother. Sarah happened to be friends with his brother's partner, and they asked if she would come on the showing and show Austin the ropes. She accepted! Flash forward a year later, when Sarah received a text from Austin asking if she'd be interested in checking out his firm. This was serendipitous as well, since the pandemic had put a damper on her own business and she was already considering a change. The two hit it off and the rest is history!
They really found their stride working together as a team on every transaction. With Austin's background being mainly on the listing side, and Sarah's as a buyer agent, they were able to mesh their skills together to create a truly special and balanced service. Today, Austin and Sarah are the sole agents of Altitude, with Austin acting as owner and Sarah as Broker in Charge. With all of the smart systems they have in place, they are able to focus 100% of their attention on each client to provide a full service experience from start to finish.

What Our Clients Say

I couldn’t thank her enough and recommend her to anyone

Sarah helped us find our blue ridge cottage. We struggled finding the right house in such a competitive market for so long, We were beginning to simplify our wants and needs list. What we wanted and what we could afford seemed so far apart. Sarah saved the day by introducing us to a builder, who offered us an affordable option of building our dream cottage with all our amenities. I was terrified going into this, but Sarah helped every step of the way. She helped us find the location, design, customization, communicated with the builder, ensured that everything was done to top notch standards. Sarah went above and beyond, holding our hand through every step of the way. I couldn’t thank her enough and recommend her to anyone looking to make their dreams come true!

You're in good hands if you choose to work with them!

We've worked with Altitude Real Estate for over 2 years helping them with their real estate photography and media needs. They've been absolutely awesome to work with and all of their clients have always been so happy and kind to us. You're in good hands if you choose to work with them! 10/10 would work with them again.

Virtually Calhoun

We highly recommend Austin.

Austin Lechner sold our 30-acre piece of property in Lake Lure in 30 days! It had previously been listed for more than 5 years with no movement. Austin was professional and personable. He brought his own photographer for the ad photos, and paid for it! (We'd paid for that service in the past with another realtor.) He kept us informed of any and all progress. While the 10% commission for land is high, it is apparently an industry norm. Working out of Asheville, NC, he has access to more buyers than others who are more local. We highly recommend Austin.

Karen Austin

I would trust him and anyone at Altitude Real Estate group again in the future.

Austin was incredibly kind and deliberate when listing and successfully selling a house for me! He was able to photograph, list, and seek the property in a month! I would trust him and anyone at Altitude Real Estate group again in the future.

Dumaine Babcock

I can’t be thankful enough for amazing job she did for me and my husband.

I highly recommend working with her!

We bought our dream home in Asheville thanks to Sarah! It was a complex sale, but she had all the bases covered and was very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and communicative — and she’s just a wonderful person.

Evan Routzong

Thank you again Sarah!!

Sarah has been wonderful to work with!! She has helped us sell a vacant lot and just recently our house. She's honest and realistic about what to expect and knowledgeable and helpful when decisions have to be made. She was always available for questions and provided us with answers. My husband and I are happy to continue working with her while we search for land. Thank you again Sarah!!

Rachel Vincent

We highly recommend them and will keep using Altitude Real State Group for future businesses.

Austin and Sarah provided an outstanding service not only to find our dream house but also throughout the whole closing process that was in record time for us. We highly recommend them and will keep using Altitude Real State Group for future businesses.

Martha López

You will not be disappointed and will end up thinking of them as friends !

I have bought and sold homes in 3 states years apart and I have NEVER worked with such incredible realtors as Sarah and her partner Austin. Finding my wife and I a house presented a number of challenges and we ran into more as we searched. Their answer was always the same, "No problem. We WILL find you your house." They were able to overcome every single obstacle thrown in their way. If you need to buy or sell without a doubt these are the #1 realtors to go with. You will not be disappointed and will end up thinking of them as friends more then business partners.

DJ Salmen

I cannot recommend Austin Lechner enough for his expertise in real estate investing strategies. He taught me so much about the intricacies of real estate investing, and his guidance has been invaluable to me. He helped me understand the concept of DSCR loans. I had never heard of them before and Austin patiently explained how they work and how they could be used to finance investment properties. This knowledge has been so helpful and I am so grateful to Austin for sharing it with me. Austin's professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to his clients are truly exceptional, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to dive into the world of real estate investing. Thanks Austin!

I am grateful for his expertise and highly recommend Austin to anyone

I had the pleasure of working with Austin Lechner as my real estate agent, and I cannot speak highly enough of his vast knowledge of creative financing solutions. Austin went above and beyond to find options to get me, an unqualified buyer, into a home. He took the time to thoroughly explain each option and made sure I understood the pros and cons of each. His negotiating skills were impressive, and he was able to secure a deal that worked for all parties involved. I am grateful for his expertise and highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for a real estate agent who can navigate complex financing challenges with ease.

Luke Lechner

Highly recommended!

Working with Sarah to buy our home was a great experience! We moved from out of state, and she made the whole process easy for us. Since we couldn’t travel back frequently, Sarah went above and beyond to record house tours, send photos and meet with us virtually to help us find the perfect home. She explained everything we needed to know about moving to North Carolina which was so helpful. Purchasing a home can be stressful, and in our case it wasn’t. Sarah is trustworthy and made the whole process simple. Highly recommended!

Meghan Harrington

They are an incredible team.

Sarah and Austin came highly recommended to me by a close friend who had an amazing experience working with them, and now, it is my turn to recommend them to YOU! Not only did they go above and beyond to find us the perfect property for the best price, but they were an absolute pleasure to be around throughout the whole process. Trustworthiness and sincerity go a long way with me, and I genuinely enjoyed every call and meetup. Thanks to their hard work, we have the perfect place to call home. Now that we are happily settling in, I look forward to sending Sarah and Austin an invitation to our housewarming party and truly hope they come see how the vision has come together! They are an incredible team.

Matt Williams

We would be pleased to recommend them to our friends and neighbors.

Austen and Sarah were a delight to work with. They helped sell a piece of land that we had unsuccessfully been trying to sell. They had a realistic approach which resulted in the sale. We would be pleased to recommend them to our friends and neighbors.

Thomas Skafidas

I would not hesitate to work with them again!!

In choosing Austin and Sarah over other successful agents from larger agencies, we felt their genuine excitement about the unique appeal of our property and their social media expertise in attracting out of state buyers would be difference-makers. We couldn’t have been happier with the decision. From the outstanding property video through navigating challenges at closing, both were professional, pleasant and truly willing to go above and beyond personally to get this deal done for us. I would not hesitate to work with them again as buyer or seller agents and am pleased to write a recommendation on their behalf and of Altitude Real Estate Group!

Patrick Goss

Thank you, thank you, thank you Sarah and Rick!

Sarah and Rick made our move to North Carolina a huge success. We were looking for historic (read: old) homes in the Tryon area. As a result, our home buying and inspection process was involved. I sincerely believe other Realtors may have given up on us. Sarah stuck with us, with professionalism and positivity. We closed on our 1924 colonial revival home last week! The home is incredible, in just the right location, and I believe we negotiated a favorable deal. We’re beyond thrilled to get started on our new adventure in our beautiful new to us home! Thank you, thank you, thank you Sarah and Rick!

They are an impressive pair. We highly recommend.

Sarah and Austin did an amazing job helping us find a home. They made themselves available to show us many properties and were honestly just likable and fun to be around, which is something I think is important because finding the right home can be a strenuous process. The house we ultimately ended up getting had 10 offers total, some offers even higher than ours. However, due to their expertise and efficiency they were able to make the sale happen for us. They are an impressive pair. We highly recommend.
