Why should you buy property in the North Carolina Mountains? I will give you five good reason right off the top my head.

  1. Boone and Blowing Rock North Carolina are in the heart of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and offer both summer and winter fun for everyone.
  2. We offer a climate that has great summer weather with its warm days and cool nights. A great way to get away from the heat of flats lands.
  3. In Boone, NC Appalachian State University combines a highly respected academic program along with an athletic program that ranks among the best.
  4. The area has a unique culture that blends both mountain culture and a strong community of retired folks and summer home residence, an influence that dates back to the early days of the last century. And of course the University impacts the community with its faculty, students and visiting dignitaries.
  5. The relaxed life and slower pace makes this a unique place to live and work.

 

How do I know these things?

I have seen tremendous economic growth in the NC Mountain Real Estate market.

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!
