I moved to this beautiful western North Carolina area 15 years ago with my husband, Remer, who had just retired after a 47 year career with a wholesale pharmaceutical distributor in central Florida.  For many years I owned and operated a horse breeding and boarding business in the Orlando area.  I'm a third generation Floridian, but I've always felt a special connection to the mountains of western North Carolina. I live in the Laurel Falls community adjacent to magnificent Panthertown Valley National Forest and am most fortunate to have both my sons and their wives living in the same area.  We all enjoy the wonderful hiking available to us on trails near our homes. Alex, my yellow lab, loves playing in the numerous creeks and walking the trails with us. One of my favorite hobbies is gardening, and I particularly love growing dahlias, which thrive in this area. I'm a broker/realtor® with Keller Willliams Realty and a member of the Highlands/Cashiers Board of Realtors® as well as the North Carolina Association of Realtors® and the National Association of Realtors®.  I enjoy marketing listings for my clients and helping buyers find their dream homes. condos or property in these majestic mountains! I make every effort to live my life and run my business by a pledge borrowed from the Rotary International Four-Way Test:       1. Is it the truth?       2. Is it fair to all concerned?        3. Will it build good will and better friendships?       4. Is it beneficial to all concerned?
