Spaces That Get Better With Time
Harmony Haus is led by the mother-daughter team of Shereen and Wendy, who bring more than fifty years of combined experience in real estate, design, and customer service. With a shared passion for breathing new life into forgotten places, they specialize in transforming vacant and underutilized properties across Waynesville and Western North Carolina into vibrant destinations where small businesses and communities can thrive.
Every Harmony Haus project begins with curiosity and care. No two projects are ever the same—each property has its own story, structure, and soul. Shereen and Wendy take a deeply hands-on approach, overseeing every phase from design to leasing. They spend months refining layouts, color palettes, and finishes that celebrate a building’s original architecture while bringing it forward with thoughtful updates. This level of detail takes time, but each property gets better every year—evolving with its tenants, community, and environment.
Shereen’s background spans corporate real estate, portfolio management, and value-add design. She brings a strong analytical perspective paired with an artist’s instinct for form and function. Wendy’s strength lies in her warmth, attentiveness, and dedication to tenant relationships. Together, their complementary skills create a balanced approach that blends business strategy with creative vision.
At Harmony Haus, every redevelopment project is guided by a respect for history, place, and people. The portfolio includes distinctive, historically significant buildings—each carefully curated and restored with modern amenities while maintaining its authentic charm. From mid-century gems to heritage landmarks, these properties now serve as thriving hubs for professionals, makers, and entrepreneurs.
One of the most rewarding aspects of their work is collaborating with local business owners, creatives, and wellness professionals to create inspiring environments that help their ventures grow. Providing these individuals with beautiful, functional commercial spaces for lease is at the heart of the Harmony Haus mission.
For Shereen and Wendy, redevelopment is not just about real estate—it’s about community building, creativity, and stewardship. Through patience, craftsmanship, and intention, they continue to transform once-forgotten buildings into vibrant, enduring spaces that reflect the character and beauty of Western North Carolina.
