The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that Kasey Realtors, which does business as Coldwell Banker Kasey & Associates, has filed for bankruptcy. An attorney for the company told the newspaper that it had been hit hard by the decline in local home sales.

Back in July, the Weaverville Tribune noted the sudden closure of the company’s Weaverville office. Here’s what the Trib said:

Charlie Robinson, of Coldwell Banker Kasey and Associates, said the company had no further comment on the recent closing of its Weaverville office. The Tribune first reported on the branch’s closing in its July 17 edition.

The office, which was described by broker-in-charge Michelle
Ranieri as a flagship office in the company’s Western North Carolina chain, opened in January. It accompanied the mixed-use development The Village at Monticello. The first building of a planned five-building community opened in late 2007.
