About Theresa
My name is Theresa DeMarco Gatewood. I have been a Top Producing Broker serving Buyers and Sellers in the High Country since 2016. My background in Architecture and Construction Management helps me better educate my clients about the uniqueness of mountain real estate. I’m also a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, specializing in the second home market, typically working with buyers and sellers of investment properties and future retirement homes. Every client has a unique situation or specific desire for a mountain home and I love having the opportunity to guide them through the process of purchasing or selling. My husband Jon and I got married in January 2023 and have three fur babies. In our free time, you can typically find us hiking with the dogs or relaxing at one of the local wineries or breweries.

About Allison
Growing up in nearby Winston Salem, I developed a natural love for the mountains and everything associated with mountain living. In 2019, after graduating from Western Carolina University, I moved north to the small mountain town of West Jefferson with my partner, Nick, and his family. While looking for our new home, I realized I had a passion for real estate and decided to focus my career on helping people find and purchase a mountain home of their own. My goal as an agent is to simplify the buying and selling process to allow my clients the freedom to focus on meeting their personal needs and goals. Being of a younger generation, my perspective on the unique needs and desires of new home buyers makes me well equipped to take on this growing demographic of buyers. With an ever-changing market and economy, each home buying process is as unique as the buyers themselves. I strive to provide personalized service and to exceed each of my clients' expectations. I hope you will provide me the opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge and passion for this wonderful mountain community. I promise to work tirelessly on your behalf and to always protect your interest before, during, and after the sale of your own special mountain property. In my downtime, I enjoy being out in nature with my 2 dogs, Jax & Scrappy and spending time with friends and family.

Excellent communication

Jon and Theresa are professional, reliable, extremely knowledgeable and fabulous to work with. They know the area and the market. I truly appreciated their combined willingness to answer my many questions and they communicated with me every step of the way. They also walked me through the sales paperwork once my house was sold. I knew my house an I were in good hands.
