My husband and I have found a house in Sapphire, NC we are interested in but I'm having trouble finding and agent that is nearby and familiar with this specific area. 

Purchase price: $650,000 Cash invested: $192,000 Sale price: $1,350,000 Contributors: John Whitney, Megan Halter This beautifully remodeled home is perfectly situated above a quiet street in the vibrant Columbia City!

Prices here have rocketed in the past twelve months, which is rare, but there are plenty of underlying factors that suggest our market is still less reactive than some major markets.A lot of the houses built in the 1800s here are in strong, vibrant parts of town where renewal and growth is active.

The area is economically quite vibrant, as NWA is home to Walmart, Tyson Foods and J.B.

Can anyone recommend a good agent in the Cashiers/Sapphire area? 

Plus when searching for STRs to stay in I appeal to environments that are engaging and vibrant.

Great hiking, a vibrant downtown which is getting better constantly, Garden of the God's, Red Rocks Open Space, Cheyenne Canyon, Broadmoor, and just up the road is Pikes Peak, Mueller State Park and Pike National Forest.

Lastly, I love old historic vibrant city’s.

Last, ask yourself who stays in an area like this when there are vibrant and growing parts of the country they could move to.
