Faye was always helpful with every type of question we asked. We have worked with Faye on selling and buying a house. She was so efficient in keeping in touch with bankers, lawyers, etc. We would contact Faye if we ever want to buy or sell. Top notch!

I have been working with Faye Wurm since 2018 in purchasing and selling several investment properties in the idyllic town of Highlands, NC. Faye's knowledge of Western North Carolina real-estate is unmatched, professional and invaluable. Faye's attention to detail and quick response has enabled me to grow my portfolio, as a real-estate investor. Faye has been my exclusive realtor for 7 years; her honesty and dedication to my needs makes her stand out among a slew of realtors in the industry. Faye works with clients, as if YOU are the center of her attention...that's how much Faye cares. She is a master at negotiating the deal and making sure you are purchasing a sound investment or maximizing the sale of your property. Seasoned and novice buyers and sellers are in great hands with Faye. She doesn't work to make a sale; she works to make YOUR dreams come true. Thank you, Faye for making my dreams come true!

We recently worked with Katy Postell on our home purchase in Sapphire Valley. As out-of-town buyers, it was so helpful to work with someone so knowledgeable about the area and who was always so accommodating with our schedule! While purchasing a home is usually a stressful experience, Katy made it easy and even helped to connect us with the right people and trusted service providers after moving in. We cannot recommend Katy highly enough!

Mary was an amazing partner and guide throughout our home buying process. She had wonderful advice and insights that was invaluable. She was available, engaged and enthusiastic and was a complete joy to work with. She has also stayed involved after our sale closed to help us as we settled into our new home and our new hometown. We honestly don’t know how we could have taken this on without her. We have worked with many agents over the years and Mary Abranyi is hands down the best. She has made everything about this daunting proces much much easier.

Faye is the most professional agent. She is able to navigate you through the process of finding the right home, helping you select inspectors, and contractors if needed. She maintains a collected thought process when things don’t go as it should. And to top it off- she cares! It is personal to her that you find the right deal. I cannot recommend Faye enough if you are looking to buy or sell your home. She has been a blessing.

Mary was very proactive in learning exactly what we wanted in a home and found us the perfect home (even if it was a little over our original price range). She handled all the negotiations professionally and made the process very easy. I very highly recommend Mary if you are looking to buy or sell a home.

We are thankful that we met Faye. She helped us through a difficult sales process as we were not familiar with all of the intricacies of the Highlands market. Faye is professional, honest and trustworthy. You will not find anyone more knowledgeable about the Highlands market and you definitely will not find an agent who works harder for their clients. Not just a great real estate agent but now a friend. Thank you Faye! Lanae and Rick

Katy is amazing! She patiently worked with us to find a second home, starting with one house preference and price point, and changing over time to something very different. Katy was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, made introductions to requisite professionals on our behalf, and handled issues locally for us while we were away. We unconditionally recommend Katy Postell. She is the best!

Dinah Davis is the hardest-working, highest skilled agent with whom I have ever worked. Her dedication to details regarding the home, as well as the needs of the seller and the buyer are exceptional. When what we thought would be an easy sale turned into a very tough sale, her energy and determination multiplied. The only characteristics that exceeded those were her kindness and even temper. I wish that Dinah Davis had handled every sale and purchase of a home I have ever done.

Faye Wurm was the most professional agent. She helped us select the right home, navigate offers and inspections. She handled so many things that we couldn’t since we were out of town. As a realtor myself, she sets the standard in what realtors should strike to be like.

We met Katy when we made a cold call on, I think, a Sunday morning in late June. We stopped in Highlands because a friend said it was a nice town. Katy made arrangements for us to see a house that day. She was so nice! We did not buy that house but Katy stayed in touch. We came back about a month later. She helped us arrange for a place to stay. We saw so many houses - at least 15 in one day. We thought we might want to be on a lake. Then we thought we might like to be in a golf community. As she got to know us she realized we would be happier not far from the town of Highlands. She found the house we bought on Foreman Road. She called it "the surprise" because she had not told us about the house. We walked in and fell in love. She has gone out of her way to help us through inspections, and contracts not to mention helping us get familiar and settled in Highlands! She is a lovely lady! We now consider her a friend.

Faye was an absolutely incredible realtor! We used her as out of state buyers looking to purchase in sapphire. She did great video tours and amazing due diligence that made us feel us feel comfortable putting in an offer sight unseen. She truly went above and beyond through the whole process and we are in our dream home because of her!

We just recently purchased a house in Highlands NC. We could not have been happier using Mary. She helped us close on the property quickly. She guided us through the whole process. She made it easy and smooth from setting up inspections to being there when we weren’t. She had all of the recourses and connections to make sure we were totally informed and helped with anything we might need, even some updates to the property. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase. If you are interested in a property in the area do yourself a favor and use Mary to help you close the deal.
