OUT & ABOUT IN WNC

Our agents have been busy out & about in the community! From helping build communities up through service to celebrating with clients, below are a few fun highlights to share from our “Company News Feed.”

WELCOME MEG ZIMMER!

Western North Carolina has been home to me for over 14 years. All three of my children graduated from Swain County High School, and I have two grandchildren in Cherokee Central Schools. Homes have long been a passion of mine, especially older homes. In fact, I'm currently renovating my own 1940 farmhouse in Bryson City. Originally a software engineer, I worked in customer support and software consulting for 25 years. It was during this time that I discovered my love of working with people and problem solving. This experience, combined with my interest in all things home, set the stage for my career as a professional Realtor.

In my spare time, I explore the area and every back road I can find. Pastures and old barns set against a mountain backdrop are a few of my favorite scenes. Dabbling with a small farm, beekeeping and gardening are among the hobbies I've enjoyed since living here. I love to show people around the area, share the wonderful places I've discovered and connect people with this beautiful place we are fortunate to call home!

HANDS ON JACKSON SERVICE PROJECT

The Crew: Natalie Rayburn, Jay Spiro, Christy Mitchell & Anette Chrisley

Agents from our office participated in the fall annual Hands on Jackson service project. Hands on Jackson is a day where Jackson County Citizens rally together to lend a helping hand to others. There were 40 projects completed this year by over 200 volunteers. Our project was to help 90-year-old Ms. Ada with trimming her bushes, pulling weeds, washing windows, etc. The weather was cool to start and the changing leaves made for a pretty drive to Cullowhee along the river. Admittedly, we were tired by the end of the day, but it was well worth it!

Community updates from JAY SPIRO

From the desk of CHRISTY MITCHELL

My husband and I decided to have a date night in our town of Sylva at a newer restaurant, ILDA, that was fantastic! The owners, Santiago and Crystal, have truly created a unique and beautiful experience for patrons. The food was amazing – as promised on the website “their food evokes a feeling of comfort and sparks a curious taste for more.” We give them 5-stars and highly recommend them for your next date night!

Updates from ANETTE CHRISLEY MAGGIE VALLEY BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL
