Mary Noble Braden

OWNER/BROKER/REALTOR®

Mary Noble Braden is the Co-Owner and Principal Broker of Noble & Company Realty, bringing over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry. Known for her thoughtful, relationship-driven approach, Mary Noble takes pride in truly getting to know her clients so she can offer guidance rooted in experience, insight, and [...]

In recognition of her dedication and impact, Mary Noble was honored as one of Asheville, North Carolina's Top 100 Realtors in 2025.

Whether you are purchasing your first home, selling a cherished property, or investing in a mountain retreat, Mary Noble is committed to guiding you with clarity, meticulous care, and steady confidence. As a longtime resident of Black Mountain, she possesses a deep understanding of the unique character of Western North Carolina — from its hidden gems to its emerging neighborhoods. She is held in high regard for responsive communication and calm presence under pressure, ensuring her Clients feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout every step of the Home Selling and Home Buying process.

Mary Noble was raised in Birmingham, Alabama, in a family with strong Southern roots and a deep appreciation for connection, hard work, and adventure. Weekends were often spent on the family farm or down at the bay — four-wheeling, riding horses, gardening, cooking, shrimping, or boating — always with a springer spaniel by her side. She graduated from the University of Alabama in 2000 with a Bachelor of Arts in Nutritional Science, and credits her grandmother and parents with teaching her early lessons about perseverance, integrity, and accomplishing tasks that sometimes feel impossible.

That foundation shaped Mary Noble's tenacity, work ethic, and natural ability to connect with people — which continue to define her success in real estate and community outreach.

Mary Noble has lived in Western North Carolina for 21 years and lives on a small farm in Black Mountain with her husband, two children, and three dogs. She is deeply connected to her community, enjoys pottery, gardening, hiking with her family, and volunteering at the local farmers market.

Mary Noble is also the host of the podcast “The Mountain Magnolias,” where she shares the heart and soul of local community members, creatives, and business owners.

“The small-town feel of Western North Carolina is what makes this place so special to me and why I absolutely love it - it warms my heart to connect with people on such a personal level. Whether you’re at the farmers market, on a trail, or at a restaurant, you’re likely to run into someone you know."

Mary Noble Braden welcomes the opportunity to help you navigate your real estate journey with integrity, care, and a genuine love for the place she calls home.

We interviewed several realtors about selling our parents’ mountain home in Black Mountain. Mary Noble Braden stood out above the rest and she lived up to our expectations. None of us live in the area so she contacted a number of businesses on our behalf to help us prepare the house to go on the market. A number of situations arose throughout the selling process and she very calmly and adeptly handled each one – even at the end. We appreciated her quick replies to our emails, texts and phone [...]

Mary sold our house in 3 weeks during a time when other homes in our neighborhood were not selling. That one fact really says it all. To be more specific, she marketed our house with excellent photos and video. She maintained clear, helpful communication and worked efficiently to meet the needs of all parties. She knew the best people to contact for various services that were needed and arranged for work to be done in a most timely manner. She knows her business, pays attention to detail, [...]

My wife and I just relocated to Marion NC from the Atlanta area and had the pleasure of using Mary Noble Braden to negotiate and handle the necessary documentation required to purchase our new house. The experience was without a hitch and was primarily due to her knowledge of the requirements as well as that of the local area. In addition to handling the documentation and negotiations with the sellers, she also provided us with contact information for the various skilled craftsmen, inspection [...]

Noble and Company are a pleasure to work with. Mary Noble Braden is very good at executing the transaction. There's a lot of miscellaneous that goes into a successful sale. Well seasoned and with a lot of local contacts, Mary Noble Braden did a great job of seeing to the little things that need attention. The communication was excellent. You were never left in doubt as to where things stood. This is to be commended as this seems to be a lost art. She and her staff are definitely a cut above [...]

Mary Noble has been absolutely wonderful to work with every step of the way. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a more caring, dedicated, competent professional in our house hunting endeavors. She helped us find the perfect house for our needs as well as putting us in touch with all the other professionals we needed from lenders, to inspectors, to contractors. I highly recommend Mary Noble's services to anyone looking for their dream house!

I was referred to Mary Noble by a law firm in Asheville. I didn’t have an immediate need for her services two years ago. She was willing to come over and help me with ideas of updates and upkeep of my little house in Black Mountain. She impressed me as such a caring person and her professionalism really impressed me. She was willing to help me and we became friends immediately. Two years later when I was ready to sell my house, I approached Mary Noble. She was so responsive to every call and [...]
