Highly recommend Kara if you're looking for a knowledgeable and community-minded realtor. I recently connected with Kara Hardy and was impressed by her enthusiasm for WNC. She's approachable, personable, and truly listens. Kara is passionate about supporting the community and actively involved. Even though I wasn't looking for a home, I mentioned my niece might be interested in Cashiers/Highlands. Kara immediately offered helpful insights and sent us valuable market information.

Berkshire Hathaway, with Angie Longwood leading the way, made the sale of our property seem less. Angie’s personality and attention to detail, put us over the top. We had listed the property for several years, but when we listed it with Angie and Berkshire, it only took months. We are forever grateful.

“Finding a truly unique luxury mountain property is not easy, but Joanne made the process feel effortless. We were searching for a one-of-a-kind home with breathtaking long-range mountain views, exceptional space for entertaining, and a private setting near the Chinquapin area. In 2024, she helped us secure an extraordinary property valued at over $1.5 million that checked every box.
Joanne’s market knowledge, professionalism, and ability to identify rare opportunities set her apart. She understood the level of quality and uniqueness we were looking for and guided us through every detail with confidence and care. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for luxury real estate on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.

We met Sherman Pope out of chance at a showing. He was very informative and helpful. That first meeting led to many conversations. While we did not purchase the first home, we asked him to represent us in future searches. He did! He knew the area and the market. He provided excellent guidance and helped us through the process. We purchased a home, and Sherman was very present and helpful throughout the process. We were very happy that we asked Sherman to represent up. Post closing, Sherman has continued to help and provide post-purchase help. We are very pleased and highly recommend Sherman to anyone selling or seeking to purchase in the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau area.

Joanne represented us in the purchase of our home in 2023, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. We were relocating from the other side of the United States and had never even visited the area before. With only a short weekend to explore properties, Joanne listened carefully to what we wanted and quickly helped us identify an extraordinary home with breathtaking lakefront views. We moved to Sapphire full time and never have been so happy. If you're looking for a Realtor who understands and is knowledgeable of the area you'll call Joanne!

Lorna gives it her all and leaves no stone unturned. I had buyer and seller experience with her, and not only is she passionate and tenacious about finding the right home for her clients, but she walks you through everything thoroughly every step of the way and keeps you updated about what's next. She also makes calls, pulls strings, contacts colleagues, and whatever it takes to keep things moving along and ensure everything is buttoned up. She serves as a coach for meeting your goals-- whether it's buying or selling a home-- and ensures you are considering all angles and that you have all the information to make an informed decision on this very important transaction.
