I have never dealt with a real estate associate with the expertise, thoroughness, follow through and human touch of Mrs. Searcy-Ponton. I would work with her at any time.

"The time,understanding and effort that Allene put in on this transaction for us was well beyond anything that my wife and I have previously experienced in our real estate transactions (7 in the last 4yrs. 3 in the last yr.). We liked her so much that she is currently helping us with another purchase. Allene is a true buyers agent that we TRUST and have confidence in."


"I have been licensed in Real Estate Sales for the previous 34 years and currently own a Real Estate Brokerage in Fort Lauderdale and wish that I could find this quality of Associate in my area. Allene was and remains an Excellent Realtor and I look forward to utilizing her services in the near future!"

"Allene was great. We were pretty green in the process of purchasing a home and she was always very patient with us. I would recommend her to anyone who is purchasing a home."


"Mary Anne Brown went out of her way--above and beyond, what I could have expected! She truly out-did herself to accomodate me when we were looking at properties as I had only 3 days to identify and write an offer on a property before returning to Florida. Due to the distances between properties in the mountains,that is a tremendous task. She is to be commended for her professionalism, attentiveness and pleasantness during the entire process from the time we met to the closing."


"Paige is truly a professional, very knowledgeable, handled every issue that came up well, we were super pleased."


"Pat Trainor was one of the best agents I have ever worked with. He was very patiented in our search for the right cabin for our needs. His knowledge of the market and utilization of resources and referrals was invaluable through the process in an market we were unfamiliar with. I would use or recommend Pat Trainor to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent a property in that area."


"Pat Trainor was far and away the best real estate advisor I've worked with over my 20 years of experience buying and selling houses. He was incredibly knowedgable of the local market, was attentive to my family's needs, and most importantly, was remarkably honest and candid. He also has gone well above and beyond the job description and has been incredibly helpful in our moving process... becoming a great neighbor in addition to a great business partner."


"The agents I worked with were absolutely top notch. Professionalism and friendliness combined."


"My Sales Associate bent over backwards to help me in any way. He is still helping me with contact numbers since I do not live in the area."


"I know we were the hardest sell Robin ever had but she never made us feel like we were a bothering her. She put up with us for nine months before we decided on what we wanted. Once we did, she worked endlessly for us to close in less than two weeks because that was what was convenient for us. She was alot of fun to work with."


"Robin Gard was great. We had to close through the mail and she represented us, took pictures of the property for us so we would have a record of the condition of the property on closing. We have really appreciated all of her help."


"We were so pleased with our associate, Robin Gard, throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of the area, understanding of our individual needs, her honesty and integrity were both welcomed and appreciated. It was a pleasure to work with someone who embodies that level of professionalism. We would HIGHLY recommend the brokerage, and especially Robin to anyone who is interested in finding a great property and extremely competent team to work with. Please pass our sincere thatnks on to Robin."

"Scott Nichols & Mark Reeves are rock stars! They made the process of buying my new home extremely seamless."


"We live out of state & sold property in Georgia. We couldn't be more pleased and pleasantly surprised at how devoted and yet professional both Scott & Mark were in conducting themselves & handling our sale. It was a very small sale in comparison to other properties but one would have thought we sold a twenty million dollar piece of property with the great treatment we received. We cannot say enough good things about them. We will always use their company if the need ever arises in that area again. Dennis & Vickie Bell Gastonia, North Carolina"


"Scott Nichols & Mark Reeves did a great job!!"

"Rick Dillard was the best associate I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His assistance was fantastic. He did wonderful followup on every point of sale. He was great and we highly recommend him and will recommend him to our friends and family."

"Crystal was absolutely wonderful. I have already recommended her to a friend who is looking for property in the same area."


"Absolutely delightful to work with. Never wasted my time on properties that were not quite what I was looking for. Honest, reliable, well informed. I just couldn't ask for more."


"we were very satisfied with the way we were treated, the professional manner of Marilyn and the kindness she showed to us."


"Marilyn Drake was absoultely fantastic to work with. She provided us with all the information we needed. We live in Texas and bought our home in Blairsville Ga after seeing 73 pictures Marilyn Emailed us."


"Best service and always returned calls and helped us work out any problems. She was great"


"I was nonresponsive about concierge services as I am not sure what they are or if I used them. My responses seem to be thoughtless (just check the best and move on) but they are far from it. Often I thought the "best" response was inadequate to describe our satisfaction with Ann Dyer. Over the past 40 years, my wife and I have used the services of at least seven brokers..all very good. Not a one of them was as tireless, knowledgeable and responsive as Ann. From day one she respected our time and brought us only listings that were right on target. Although it was surely not the case, we felt that Ann had no other client but was totally focused on meeting our needs. Every question or concern was addressed immediately. She offered no easy answers but always made sure all answers were right. Never has a selection process or closing gone as smoothly as ours. Ann Dyer is a treasure and an excellent representative of Coldwell Banker."


"Ann Dyer is a real asset to your staff --- very professional, knowledgable, and a very nice person"


"I believe Ann Dyer understood the urgency of my situation, and quickly knew what my tastes were and the type of house that would please me."


"Nancy Isom and her support staff were outstanding. Nancy was professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and a complete pleasure to work with."


"Very simply, Susan Cone is the best :)"


"Lonnie Lindsey was an absolute delight to work with at all times. He is very knowledgeable of the area we were interested in. We hope to keep in touch with him after we move to Ellijay."


"Lonnie Lindsey is a great asset to your company...."


"A few months ago, my wife and I, along with her parents, were desperately looking for a vacation home in Western North Carolina. We had looked for what seemed at the time to be everywhere, working with countless realtors and private homeowners looking to sell. Although many realtors tried, none seemed to get the picture of exactly what we were looking for. On our fifth trip up to look for houses we had the good fortune to meet Cyndi Daves, and immediately felt a positive connection with her, both on a business and friendship level. She spent her entire Saturday, and due to our time constraints, most of her Sunday away from her family to show us what seemed to be over 30 houses, all of which matched what we were looking for. She shared with us her vast experiences and knoweledge (both in real estate and building construction) of the Murphy area, really helping us to sharpen our focus and realize exactly what we wanted. After tirelessly writing up offer after offer on several properties we really liked, she called to tell us that the owners of the one property we were especially interested in had accepted our offer. Our North Carolina dreams were finally coming true! Although we had been involved in many real estate transactions in our native Florida, we were naive in the requirements and possible risks involved in North Carolina transactions. Cyndi once again stepped up to the plate. She personally guided the entire closing, even going to the Office of Public Records to research issues she had discovered regarding the homeowner's association and septic permits in the area our home was built in. Overall, she made the entire process of looking for and finally purchasing our dream home an enjoyable and memorable experience. We are still in contact with Cyndi and her family, and she has proven to be as great of a friend and Murphy neighbor as she was a real estate agent. We feel truly blessed to have met her! Jason and Kirsten Ireson Madeira Beach, FL"


"Carol was so wonderful, she spent the whole day with us (New years Eve). We only had one day so she got everything gathered & showed us everything we were interested in. Very very professional, honest. Carol handled closing & even when we came up to visit our new home a month later she took time out of her busy day & had everything ready for us. She's the greatest! ~ Best Regards, Susan & Jerry Remillard ~"


"Carol Robinson exemplifies the qualities that my son & I appreciate so very much. She is caring, considerate, well versed & easy to make contact with. She recalled my interest in a Tarheel property from our previous dealings and helped me negotiate a good purchase price just recently. My wife & son are delighted with the acquisition of this additional property. I hope our family will enjoy it for years to come. Thank you for this opportunity to say a few words about someone who has helped me and my family. Carol has become our friend and neighbor in Murphy. ~ Sincerly, Mr. Eddie L. Bradham ~"


"We purchased property from Carol 4 years ago. We purchased our cabin from her about 2 years ago. Carol knows the area very well and we value her opinion. She helped us make the deal for this new home and has listed our property and our cabin for sale. She has been great in assisting us at every turn. Since we live in Florida it is difficult to be there, Carol has given us suggestions on ways to help sell our cabin and has arranged for the work to be done.We have recommended Carol to our family and friends. She helped my in-laws find a home and some friends find a log cabin for vacations. Carol is always friendly, knowledgable and available. We will continue to use her for our real estate needs. ~ Kim Jones ~ "


" Mary Kulig, our Coldwell-Banker realtor enthusiastically guided us through the entire process. From the beginning she was extremely responsive to our desires as to location, price, size and condition of all the properties she showed us online and in person. It seemed that she was always available to handle all of our questions, problems, and concerns and promptly kept us informed of everything that was going on. "


" Throughout this experience, Mary displayed the utmost in professionalism, competence, and motivation. Without reservation, we would highly recommend Mary Kulig to anyone with realty needs in the area. "


" We sincerely feel that Mary went above and beyond as our representative in this transaction. She kept our spirits up with confident assurances and a great sense of humor. Even after the sale, Mary helped with information on the surrounding communities, setting up utilities, and home repairs and maintenance. She still asks if there is anything else she can do for us."


" I would be happy to endorse Lisa DiCuffa on homes.com, or anywhere else for that matter. I picked Lisa for two reasons. First because I saw first hand as her friend how well she was doing in real estate. If you don't work at it you aren't going to do that well. Lisa won several awards and she impressed me. The other reason is because she is my friend. I do have other friends in real estate, but we picked Lisa exclusively because we believed she would work hard for us. And she certainly did. For the next eight months she spent more time with me and my Mom than she did with herself. She helped us find several places. And we were difficult to please. We had needs. My mother is 89 and needed a place where she could walk on level ground and get exercise. We couldn't get too far away from the hospital. We didn't want to be around any high-tension wires. At least a mile away. We couldn't be in town. We didn't want to leave the school district. We didn't want to be too far away from the town my husband works in, which was NOT the same school district. We needed room for six people. We needed a place for our horses. We didn't want to be too close to anyone else, we have big dogs. AND we did not want any restricted land or associations. (And that is getting harder and harder to find.) We wanted privacy. AND we had a limited budget. I believe we looked at EVERY single place for sale in this county, and a few in the next. What impressed me the most about Lisa is that she is dedicated to doing her best for her clients. She really looked out for our best interests, making sure there were no hidden problems that we might come across after making an offer on a place, that we couldn't get out of without losing money. And she followed up on every place that I was told about by other people or found in a real estate pamphlet,or a newspaper, or a real estate sign while driving around, or on the internet. She is so thorough and I know I was a pain. But this was our one shot, so we wanted it all. She came through with flying colors. What would I say to a friend if I were to recommend Lisa to them? If she can't find it for you, it's not out there. I recommend her to everyone. it's time for peace With all sincerity......................Jill Ruoss"


"Working with Lisa DiCuffa was a very pleasant experience. Her ability to manage and balance the many aspects associated with a real estate transaction were outstanding and made our closing go smoothly. Lisa is not only a great realtor, but she makes us feel like family and is a relationship that doesn't end with the sale. Thanks again for helping us find our dream home here in Murphy, North Carolina"


"I would recommend Lisa to anybody that wants somebody to never quit until she gets the job done. Lisa continued to come up with more creative ways to get exposure to our house until it sold. She went far above what was expected of her, I don't how we would have gotten thru moving out of our house without her."


"This is awesome!! You are awesome!! We have never had anyone do 1/10 of this much and you have just started. You obviously love and know what you are doing. We are so impressed with you and what you have done with this. You can be sure that if we ever decide to sell our cabin, you will be the person we call!! Thank you very much, and we enjoyed meeting you and talking with you! Alabama"


"Donna Yates was thorough, professional, and extremely knowledgeable of the counties and lakes, it was a total suprise to us that we even found what we did, and were able to get such a great deal. Donna was just great! Georgia"


""Our New Year has started very well. Hope yours has been good. It has been such a blessing to sell the cabin. We are so grateful to have been blessed with you as our agent. Thank you for your continued thoughtfulness." Florida"


"Wow, Donna, you're the bomb on the North Georgia Blue Ridge market with that much knowledge!!! Florida"


"Donna helped us throughout our search and would check all details or questions I had. She made the experience exceptionally easy. Georgia"


"Donna helped us throughout our search and would check all details or questions I had. She made the experience exceptionally easy. Georgia"


"You are a whiz! Thanks again for all you do. I found a winner. Georgia"


"We are loving our new mountain home! We would love to have you come by for a visit! We surely know who to recommend whenever they need a realtor." Georgia"


"We will definitely keep your number handy for our future in Blue Ridge/Gilmer, as well as let others know! We've already talked to some of our friends here about contacting you. Thanks again Florida"


"We are so happy with our cabin and grateful for His blessings to us, including you. Florida"


"Donna went above and beyond her job description to help us out; she is honest, knowledgeable, hard working and for those reasons I wanted to deal with only her. Thank you." Florida "


""We were fortunate to be introduced to Donna and promptly asked her to be our real estate agent. We purchased our dream mountain home in Blue Ridge Georgia within 3 months of beginning our search and closing. The fast time line was due to her vast knowledge of the area and professionalism. It is my opinion we would not have been successful in our search without her and we would absolutely use Donna again and would certainly recommend her to any friends and family members. Georgia"


"Donna is an agent with innovative ideas and knows how to use the latest in technology to benefit her clients. She is always looking for new ways to promote her clients and is always willing to help other agents do the same for their clients. She's a wonderful teacher, a trustworthy agent. Georgia"


"CHRIS WESTERMAN WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. SHE WAS GREAT! WE CONTACTED MANY AGENTS FROM DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND HER LEVEL OF SERVICE, KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNICATION WAS BY FAR THE BEST. WE WERE COMPLETLY SATISFIED AND VERY IMPRESSED. ONE OF OUR CLOSE FRIENDS WHO HAS MANY PROPERTIES WANTS TO DO BUSINESS WITH CHRIS IN THE FUTURE."


"We were completely satisfied with our experience. Chris Westerman is a true professional. We felt very comfortable dealing with her. She followed through on every aspect of this very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend your office and in particular Chris Westerman."


"I have bought and sold many properties throughout the United States and I have never worked with a more consummate professional than Mary Kulig. I'm not sure if she ever rests because she is making sure every detail from start to finish is handled correctly, promptly and ethically. She not only searched the market for what was available, she took the time to call owners of second homes that were vacant to inquire if they wanted to sell. She found me the right home at the right price in the neighborhood I wanted and I am extremely pleased; so much so that I have friends wanting to move to Blue Ridge to use her services to get the home they want. Mary Kulig is passionate about Blue Ridge and it shows in every aspect of her highly personalized service. I was absolutely blown away with all she did to make the process so very pleasant. In the real estate business - they do not come any better than Mary! I enthusiastically recommend her service!"


""Thank you VERY much! You do your profession proud! My mother was the President of Florida's Real Estate board for many years. And I know what she had to do to satisfy the clientele for 30+ years " - - - Guy Rivard"


"We have had the privilege to work with so many great people whether they needed to sell their home or are searching for their own "peace of the mountains" here in Murphy, NC."


"We interviewed two other companies before we talked with Carol Barbour. Her competent answers and examples for all our questions ended our search. Carol continued her professional approach by providing step by step suggestions and directions from the listing through the closing. Her experience and focus allowed her to anticipate questions and provide answers, often before we were aware of them. This removed much apprehension and anxiety for us during the time our house was on the market and settled us during the final steps of leaving the house prior to closing. There were so many times we appreciated her attention to our specific needs. After seeing the flyers she prepared at the beginning of the process, we told her that they were so visually attractive and comfortably worded that we were sure people who came to see the actual house would be disappointed. Another such example came during the house inspection. Not only did she explain all that would transpire and coordinated the visits of the various parties to reduce stress on us, she also was there during the inspection and stayed after to explain what would follow. Her involvement did not seem obligatory; she provided service. The experience with Carol (and Lee, the double team approach never left us uncovered) was so positive. We will gladly recommend Carol to others. Thank you for the positive realty experience, especially when that has not always been the case. -The Hanford’s"

"We finally made it into our "dream home in the mountains" of Murphy, NC thanks to the tremendous help of Lee Barbour. Even before we were in a position to buy a home here, we made contact with Lee through his office. He was aware that we were not ready to buy at that time, but I'm sure he went out of his way to answer our questions and concerns about the process. Of course when the time did come for us to for our new home he was the one we wanted to work with. Lee lead us through the entire process and the concerns and questions were minimal because of his knowledge, incite and ability to anticipate the next step and keep us on top of the process. Everything went very smoothly and on time right down to the closing day. Thanks for being the best in the area.

"We would like to let you know that Carol Barbour has been excellent to work with! We purchased our mountain Chalet in Murphy, NC and Carol was our agent. To begin with, Carol was immediate in her return communications throughout the transaction. Our first contact was in an effort to find someone to meet our travel schedule-which was very important to us that we find a reliable and efficient agent. Carol explored all avenues and other options prior to our visit. She gave excellent answers to our many questions in a timely manner. Carol always kept in touch to let us know exactly whet was happening. She had gone to our new home on various occasions for us and even sent pictures via email. My wife and myself were tough in some cases as most clients, but Carol always came through with great results and a smile. We are proud to say that this transaction went well, and with great hopes that another in the near future will be possible for business purposes. Of course Carol will be our agent again. -The Laudecio's"

Of course Carol will be our agent again. -The Laudecio's"

"My wife and I fell in love with the Murphy area; so much so that we decided to relocate to the Murphy area when we retire. Lee and his wife, Carol, helped to make our search for property easy. Lee was always informative, helpful and honest in our search for property. He worked around our schedule to show countless properties. One day after looking at several properties lunchtime approached and of course lee asked if we wanted to stop for lunch and we assured him we were fine to continue looking. Lee skipped lunch to allow us more time to look at additional properties. On another trip, Lee helped to entertain our 13 year old son who had accompanied us on this particular trip. Lee always put us first and looked out for our best interest. We will do business with Lee and Appalachian Land Company again; we currently have a contract pending on another piece of property that ALC has listed. This experience has been a blessing to us. Finding Appalachian Land Company and Lee was an answer to our prayers. -Danny & Dale Spain"

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Carol when we walked into the Appalachian Land office only knowing that we were interested in viewing property in the Murphy area after having browsed the internet. We were warmly greeted by Carol, who immediately put us at ease. After discussing our interests and price range, Carol spent three days with us, taking us to a wide variety of existing homes and vacant properties. The day before we were scheduled to leave Murphy, we found the perfect piece of property and have since closed without any difficulties. We were amazed at how effortless the transaction was in purchasing our property. Carol kept us informed every step of the way and even went the extra mile by sharing recent photos of our property through email. Without hesitation, we would recommend Carol to anyone interested in working with a realtor. Thank you for providing us with the best service possible and we look forward to working with you again in the future. -Jim & Chris Rehak"

" After conducting many Real Estate transactions we were pleasantly surprised with the professionalism displayed by our agent Lee Barbour. It is our opinion that he surpassed by a large margin, what we had become used to. Information lacking in the listing was researched by him and the staff. We were then called and kept up to date on the sale as it progressed. -Ed & Elizabeth"

"I recently purchased property in the Murphy, NC are. A friend of mine, here in Florida, had a business card for Lee & Carol Barbour. I sent an email to them and received a reply back the very same day, stating they would be most happy to assist me. Over the next several weeks, Carol helped me with properties I was interested in and her response to my questions were always prompt. When I visited the area and we met, I felt like we had been friends for a long time. Carol has a friendly smile and personality. Her cheerful voice on the phone would always make me smile, even though it might have been news I didn't want to hear. She remained positive and helped us to remain positive too. Our purchase was not a large "money maker" for Carol, but she treated us as if we were her biggest client. My husband and I were both very grateful to her. I would recommend her to anyone that I came across that was looking for a realtor. -Ruth Zimmerman"
