Bonnie Dupree

About Bonnie

There is a moment that happens to almost everyone who visits Western North Carolina and Northeast Georgia for the first time. Maybe it is a quiet morning on the lake as the mist rises off the water. Maybe it is dinner in a small mountain town — candlelit, unhurried, and unexpectedly extraordinary. Or maybe it is simply the view from a ridge at dusk that stops you mid-sentence. That is the moment people come for a weekend and decide to stay for a lifetime. Since 2007, Bonnie DuPree has been helping people turn that moment into a home address. As the founder of The DuPree Real Estate Group and one of the region’s most trusted real estate advisors, Bonnie specializes in the properties that define mountain living — luxury estates, second homes, and lake and mountain-view properties throughout Western North Carolina and Northeast Georgia. Her market spans Cherokee County, NC — including Murphy, Andrews, Brasstown, and Hayesville — and extends into Northeast Georgia communities such as Blairsville, Blue Ridge, and Hiawassee. The region offers breathtaking natural beauty, welcoming small-town charm, and a lifestyle that blends outdoor adventure with culture and community — from boating and hiking to festivals, local arts, and farm-to-table dining. Bonnie and her team bring deep market knowledge and a high level of service to every transaction. Whether clients are searching for a lakefront retreat, a luxury mountain home with long-range views, or a second home that will eventually become their primary residence, The DuPree Real Estate Group provides expert guidance in buying, selling, marketing, negotiation, and contract management. Their goal is simple: every client receives the attention and dedication they deserve. When you are ready to find your moment, Bonnie DuPree is ready to show you the view.

Great to work with.

Melanie was a joy to work with. She showed us many, many homes and never lost patience with the process. Scheduling appointments was easy, always let me know if she was even a couple minutes behind. Went above and beyond. We had a different agent selling our home but Melanie was still happy to be a sounding board for it. She was a great agent that is now a friend!

House in Hayesville

We bought a new log home in Murphy. Talked to Melanie about selling and moving. She said that what you want is not in Murphy it is in Hayesville. The next day she had a new house for us to look at. We went in and loved it there is so much more to do in Hayesville . We then had here sell our log home in Murphy. She sold that house in 2 weeks. She is a great realtor.

Nothing short of Phenomenal!

I have worked with many real estate agents over the years and have never worked with somebody as professional, organized and kind as this wonderful woman. As we were out of state buyers, we needed somebody who could be our eyes so to speak. And Melanie was just that! Once we found our home, the transaction was not easy as there were quite a few issues after the inspection. Melanie is a great intermediary, and we truly were very happy that by working with the sellers agent got all of our issues resolved in a timely manner. When we arrived in town, (my husband had never seen the home) Melanie made sure that we became familiar with the area so we would feel right at home. She is the best of the best. If she didn't immediately respond to my calls, she would call back very shortly after no matter what she was doing! Anyone who has Melanie as thier Real Estate Agent can rest assured that she will get the job done with very limited stress to you and your family!
