The Listing Agent, unless specifically disclosed otherwise, represents the seller in any transaction for the sale of a home. It is that Agent's fiduciary duty to protect the seller's position at all times. No matter what they tell you their loyalty will lie with their selling clients. Usually the listings you see on most websites are the agents listings, if you call them directly you will not be represented and most won't tell you that, Gary will. That is why you want an agent with experience like Gary Ward of Advantage Chatuge Realty to represent YOUR interest as a buyers agent when buying a home.
There are lots of choices on places to live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Most people want NC mountain property. To get away from the noise of the city. Hayesville NC is that sort of place. With a population of 10,333 ( 2009 estimation) Clay County is among the five least populated counties in the state and offers one of the lowest property tax rates in North Carolina. Basically still undiscovered. Time comes to a stop here. If you want shopping malls and traffic Hayesville is not your kind of place. But if you want peace and quite, that small town feel, friendly neighbors, or no neighbors at all consider Hayesville NC be above the rest in Western North Carolina!
