Let Us Help You Plan Your Future in the Mountains

Wakeman Realty offers the best, most dependable service to our clients. We have the advantage of being small enough to give personal attention to each and every buyer and seller, yet our reach through modern technology is world wide. Our focus is to provide the best information available in today’s fast changing real estate market here in the North Carolina, Tennessee Mountains.  

The winning combination of 40 years experience in bringing buyers and sellers together and the determination to listen carefully to our client’s requests sets us apart. We understand that a well informed client who buys or sells without being exposed to high pressure comes back. 

Service is our goal before and after the sale. For instance, it was five in the afternoon; our crew was ready to head home when the phone rang. “I’m lost, I bought my property from you five years ago and I can’t remember how to get there.” John Wakeman remembered his client from New York and told her to stay put and he would be right out. He met her, showed her to her land. They both had a good laugh after she told him she had turned around in the road leading to the property at least five times.

You can expect the same friendly, informed help from both Frank LaMartina and Bartlett Dougherty. 

Located in Boone NC, Wakeman Realty helps people buy and sell properties in Watauga, Ashe, Avery Counties in NC and in Johnson and Carter Counties in TN including properties on Watauga Lake in Tennessee.

Happy Customers

We have worked with John for many years. We have bought and sold and bought again. There were times when we would peruse property for days at a time and buy nothing. Never saw him frustrated or impatient with our time consuming pondering. And after the sale he is still helpful with details and issues that come up even years later. At times we weren’t even in country when he was helping to manage property issues for us. We will most likely buy and sell again, and it will certainly be with John Wakeman!
