I am from Chicago - about 7 years go we decided to buy a vacation home in the mountains near some friends - areas we were focusing on were Cashiers and Highlands, NC. On our first trip we walked into a real estate company in Cashiers NC and Jim Hair greeted us and set up appointments and a schedule for us. After 2 days we had to go back to Chicago but had found two houses in particular that we were interested in (but one was out of our price range). We subsequently put in an offer for the house but the seller would not move at all on the price and thus we decided to hold off buying and look around more. Jim kept us informed on other properties and sent us similar properties that fit the type and price range that we wanted - that is extremely important to us as buyers as we do not want to waste time looking at houses that we would never buy. About a month later we were travelling in Europe and Jim called notifying us that the house that was "out of our price range" was something we should consider. It was a foreclosed property owned by Regent's bank who was trying to reduce their year end inventory and would possibly entertain lower offers that would then fall within our original price range. We had not seen the house so Jim sent numerous pictures and information - assuring us that if we liked the first house, we would absolutely love this one (overall much better house/value/appreciation potential, etc.). We put in an offer from France via fax and Jim submitted, negotiated, properly handled the counter and we came to terms with the bank and signed the contract. Since we had not seen the property, Jim put in a stipulation that we had 10 days to review and if after inspection we did not want the property we could still receive our deposit back and void the contract. We flew back to the states, went and saw the property and closed shortly thereafter - the house was all that Jim had described and we are very appreciative of the way he handled everything from start to finish. I should add that we have now owned the house for the last 6 years and it has greatly appreciated in value - but it has turned into a wonderful family vacation home that we will keep in the family for many years to come. I have told Jim many times how much we appreciated all his steady and efficient handling of our home purchase in Cashiers. I would highly recommend him to others.

Jeremy was a huge help for my husband and I during our first-time home buying experience. I would highly recommend Jeremy to others looking to buy or sell a home or property because he is kind and genuine, considerate to client’s needs, and has a great knowledge of the area and home buying process.

We had a great experience with Jeremy as our realtor - he was very thorough and helped us through the home selling process. He was patient and addressed all of our concerns and questions. Would definitely recommend him and will use him in the future for real estate transactions.

The service and advice from Jeremy Robinson provided us was extraordinary. Professional, patient, he has various resources and is honest. It was our first purchase and I must say that we have found not only an agent but a local friend. He also speaks Spanish, his Spanish is very fluent. Si usted habla espanol, el es el indicado. Su espanol es muy fluido.

We currently live in California and are planning to move "Back East". We have been looking at several states and parts of the country. We decided to locate somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains area. My wife and I were visiting Cashiers, NC. in October and loved what we saw. We contacted a local realtor to show us some houses. Fortunately, Mary Korotva with Sapphire Valley Real Estate answered our call. Mary spent 2 days with us and she was nothing short of "Amazing". She was tireless, showing us numerous houses both days. She was remarkably knowledgeable about the area. Mary was a true professional, she picked up on the nuances of our preferences and targeted the properties perfectly. She was so very friendly that she made my wife and I feel completely comfortable. She really put us at ease and made the whole experience very worthwhile. We truly appreciated Mary and the time she spent with us. We would strongly recommend that Anyone considering this beautiful area should contact Mary Korotva. She is special.

When making the big decision of buying a home one hopes for a knowledgeable, experienced Realtor who is familiar with the area, availability of properties, and community life. From our first contact I felt I was in good hands. After explaining what we were interested in, Colene researched available properties and sent me a comprehensive list for review. She also assured us the community had the activities in which we were interested. In just two days of visiting homes we found the perfect home for us. Colene was attentive, responsive, friendly and professional. We would highly recommend Colene.

I have known Colene for over 10 years and find her one of the most knowledgeable real estate brokers in the Cashiers real estate market area. She is very responsive to all my real estate needs and is very pleasant to work with.

I have known Colene West for over 10 years. At the time, we purchased a home from her. She was professional with excellent communication skills. She works hard to meet your needs.

Colene helped us find our beautiful lot in 2007. She drove us all over two counties showing us every piece of property while giving us the history of the area. She not only is our realtor she has become a dear friend. We would recommend Colene to anyone looking for property in Western North Carolina. They would not be disappointed!
