Thinking of Selling?
We Make It Happen.

For most home listings there is no upfront cost — commission is paid at closing, out of the proceeds, only when your home sells. For certain property types (typically vacant land, lots, or specialized listings that require extra marketing investment) we may ask for a retainer up front. The retainer is credited toward commission at closing, but is not refundable if the property doesn't sell. We will be upfront about the structure at your consultation. Professional photography, drone, virtual tour, signs, and marketing are always included — no add-on fees.

Our average is 221 days from list to close vs the area average of 293 days — about 72 days faster. The exact timeline depends on price, season, condition, and property type. Lakefront homes priced well in the spring and early summer often sell within 60 to 120 days; off-water and land listings can take longer.

Not necessarily. We'll walk through your home, point out what's worth fixing (and what isn't), and give honest staging advice. Some sellers benefit from a fresh-paint and declutter weekend; others can list as-is. We never recommend repairs you won't recoup at sale.

Zillow is a starting point, not a price. We pull every comparable sale within the last 12 months in your subdivision and waterway, adjust for water frontage, view, dock, acreage, year built, and finish level, and build a real CMA. Watauga Lake is a tiny, hyper-specialized market — national algorithms don't understand it.

That's fine — in fact, that's when most great sales start. We're happy to do a property valuation, walk through what your home would need, and check back in next season. No pressure, no pestering.

Yes — we list quite a few short-term rentals and have a system for it. Showings are scheduled around your booking calendar (typically only in turnover windows or with 24+ hour notice during stays), we use our professional photos and 3D virtual tour so most buyer interest is qualified before they ever step inside, and we can market the property to investor buyers as a turnkey rental — including current revenue, occupancy, and forward bookings. Long-term tenants follow the same playbook with proper notice per the lease.

We list and sell across Watauga Lake, Butler, Hampton, and the surrounding Carter County and Johnson County area — lakefront, lake-access, mountain homes, cabins, and land.
