We worked with Rick Osborne to find our new vacation home in Boone. Rick was a great partner during our search - submitting over 10 offers before we were able to close on our favorite property. Throughout the process Rick provided great communication and, not being familiar with the area, provided a level of local expertise that made us feel much more comfortable with our search which was remote at times. His decades of experience selling real estate in the High Country and NC real estate process in general was invaluable to us. I would highly recommend Rick, and will definitely work with him for any future High Country real estate needs.

I recommend using Traci as an agent in purchasing property in the mountains. She is very knowledgeable and exhibited professionalism and understanding throughout the entire process.

I am writing to share my experience in working with Marc Childers and his wife Kathie as they really deserve a 100/100 stars. I could not be more thrilled that Marc made one of my lifetime dreams come true in a more than challenging real estate market. The 2020 real estate market in Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock and surrounding areas is tough, to say the least with properties flying off the market in hours. Marc was able to schedule a virtual showing within hours as I was out of state and ensured we were well-positioned for an offer. Having been through more than 17 real estate deals in three states in the past 20 years, I feel qualified to provide a candid review having seen the good, the bad and the really ugly. Marc's level of innate professionalism, knowledge, fortitude and extensive contacts/resources were the magic that made this deal happen in a wild wild west scenario. Above and beyond, even after the property closed, is what Marc Childers is all about. I am already considering purchasing additional properties only because I know I have Marc at my side.

Marc is the best real estate agent we have ever worked with!!! He listened to our concerns at our initial appointment and was a great listener and confidant throughout the process. We always felt that he was encouraging, positive and had our best interest at heart. He did his homework and presented us with sound advice along the way. He definitely knows the High Country market and is confident and professional. Marc made this difficult task of selling our dream home more pleasurable and stress free. His personality and demeanor are fabulous and we enjoyed every interaction we had with him along the way. We will actually miss the discussions and meetings we had with Marc. You will never be disappointed if you choose Marc and Kathie for your real estate team!

Traci was so easy to work with and was so helpful with helping us find the mountain house we now own! We would recommend her to anyone looking for property in the Boone, Sugar Mountain, Blowing Rock area. She was very quick to respond to the million questions we had!

Traci was extremely helpful and insightful through the entire experience, often going over and above expectations to make sure everything was settled. She would often offer us advice and tips to help us through the process. She was very communicative and easy to get in touch with. I would absolutely recommend her to my friends who I would want to be properly assisted through the home-buying process! She’s awesome! 10/5/2020 - Madi Simpson

Marc has been an excellent real estate agent for my family. We interviewed several agents and chose Marc for his experience, knowledge of the area, and personality. We were not located in the Boone area so we had to rely on Marc through the process in buying our home which he did seamlessly. When the time came to sell our home, we chose Marc right away. It was an obvious choice and would highly recommend him to others.

My husband and I highly recommend Marc and Kathie for all your property needs! They were very professional and knowledgable in their recommendations for inspectors, property information and contracts. They went above and beyond what a realtor normally does! They were available when we really needed them and had a short time frame to find a home and move!! They were wonderful knowing we were under stress moving from one state to another and were very patient and understanding! Both spent a considerable amount of time with us and we found a wonderful home! Thank you Kathie and Marc you’re the best!

Marc and his team were amazing to work with in buying our first home in the North Carolina High Country several years ago that we wanted to work with him and his team selling our home years later, and even purchasing land to build! Marc and his team are very professional, knowledgeable, patient, extremely responsive, which is hard to find in the High Country, and he was willing to go above and beyond to help us with aspects of buying in the High Country that are not always prevalent. He and his team worked hard for us and in every scenario we were able to either purchase or sale at a price we were happy with.

We have had the pleasure of working with Traci this summer while shopping for a home in Boone area. I had been a part of dozens of real estate transactions and worked with dozens of agent and none were ever as diligent, as helpful or as accommodating as Traci! We could not have done it without her. Thank you for everything:)

I'll keep it short and sweet. I've purchased quite a few homes over the years and Traci is BY FAR the best realtor I've ever worked with, HANDS DOWN. Just a great person and someone you can trust. Traci will have my business as long as she is in the business. If you need a realtor in the High Country, call everyone else first, then call Traci. You'll see what I mean. Thanks for all your help, Traci.
