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.

Fantastic experience!

Fantastic experience!

Working with Jon & Theresa was so easy and a wonderful experience. They patiently showed us multiple houses over the course of a few months until we finally found the perfect one for us. They shine at the details, organization & their wealth of local contacts & information about the area. They are down to earth, honest and just really good people. Highly recommend!

Above and Beyond

Jon was great, as was the rest of the team. He really understood what we wanted in a house and property, even when we did not. I personally felt that trying to understand what we wanted was hard, yet he captured that quickly. He has a great eye for the area and knows what to look for. He is constantly thinking outside the box and looking at all avenues at the homes, even when you aren't. He helped in numerous ways, and I will say he is the first realtor (of many I have used over the years) I can walk away considering a friend. And he treated us that way throughout the process.

Jon was Excellent and was there for us every step of the way.

Jon was excellent to work with. He answered my questions no matter the time of day. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in our condo search. We will definitely be using him in the future. He went above and beyond for us with the POA contacts and the inspection and even took measurements for me when asked.

The best!!

I've dealt with several realtors over the years and Theresa and Jon are the best! They are easy to communicate with and listen to what you want. So easy to work with. You couldn't ask for any nicer people. Please consider them for your property needs and you won't be disappointed.

Excellent communication with my agent, very knowledgeable and so caring!

Betty is one of the most thorough agents I have ever seen. She walked me through each step of my sale and answered every single question I had, from the dumbest one to the most complicated! I would trust her again for either purchasing or selling of property. Thank you Betty for all of your help and caring for us at all times through this experience. Your understanding and experience was unlike anything I had ever had before.
