From purchase to sale
Our clients first purchased this property with our help, then returned years later when it was time to sell. One relationship, two very different chapters.
The work · The people · The High Country
Every Home Has a Story.
Some begin with a first purchase. Others grow into years of trust, a new direction, or a home that exists only on paper. Here are some of the properties Marc and Kathie Childers have represented - and the thoughtful research, visual storytelling, and personal relationships behind them.
Our philosophyA thoughtful plan for each property, carried through by two hands-on agents.
The work behind the photographs
The Story Behind the Story.
Good representation is rarely one grand gesture. It is the many thoughtful details: researching the property, understanding its appeal, presenting it clearly, answering the unexpected questions, and seeing things through.
Whether you first speak with Marc or Kathie, you have the Childers Realty Group team behind you - with honest advice, creative thinking, and genuine care for what comes next.

271 Quail Hollow Road
A current example of the work behind a listing: a thoughtful property presentation, professional photography, a detailed 3D walkthrough, and clearly disclosed digital staging to illustrate possibilities without disguising the actual home.

Chosen once. Trusted twice.
An out-of-town family chose our team for their purchase and returned when it was time to sell. That first transaction also opened the door to a lasting builder partnership.
Previously representedSOLD · CUSTOM CONSTRUCTION
509 Crystal Mountain Road
A custom build. A lasting relationship.
We represented the buyers of this custom-built home, and when it was time to sell, they returned to Childers Realty Group to represent the property again. A wonderful example of a relationship that lasted well beyond the first closing.
Previously representedSOLD · SUGAR MOUNTAIN
191 Mossy Creek Lane
Buyer. Seller. Buyer again.
From an out-of-area purchase to a sale and another purchase, these returning clients relied on the team's knowledge and steady communication throughout.
Previously representedSOLD · TIMBER-FRAME HOME
Twin Rivers
A dream home's next chapter
A distinctive timber-frame home called for thoughtful positioning, a carefully prepared property presentation, and steady guidance through the sale.
When a photograph of a tree isn't enough
Land Has a Story, Too.
On an uncleared lot, buyers may not see the view, the configuration, or the possibilities. Our approach combines aerial imagery, clear marketing, and careful research to help buyers see those missing pieces - an approach we embraced long before drone marketing became routine.
Laurel Hill · Boone / Blowing Rock
Two Lots. Three Ways to Buy.
We offered these two lots three ways: individually or together. A drone flyover highlighted the Grandfather Mountain setting, while marketing videos helped buyers appreciate views that were hard to see from the ground.
"Trust me.....listen to the pros."Alan A. · Seller review excerpt
Daisy Ridge · Valle Crucis
A Fresh Perspective for an Unsold Lot.
After two previous attempts with other agents, we gave the land a fresh presentation using drone imagery and active promotion. We also helped arrange a perc test for the out-of-town seller, taking one more task off the client's shoulders.
"Her enthusiasm and promotion of the lot made the difference in getting this lot sold."Christine C. · Seller review excerpt
Builder & development partnerships
Helping Buyers See What Isn't Built Yet.
A builder relationship grew from a single home sale into photography, new-construction marketing, land acquisition, and pre-sale storytelling. These examples show how Kathie and Marc's different contributions work together.

A Better Picture of What Buyers Are Buying.
It began when Marc helped a client buy the Russ Cornett Road home shown above. When the builder later needed a fresh approach for a different, newly built home at Crystal Mountain, Kathie photographed the actual construction, documented its progress, and led updated promotion instead of relying on pictures of an older project. The new home soon went under contract, and the partnership continued.
The Vistas at Trout Lake · Blowing Rock
Before It Was Built, Buyers Could See It.
Marc located the land and helped the builder with its purchase. Before AI renderings were commonplace, Kathie commissioned both a detailed 3D dollhouse floor plan and an exterior visualization based on the blueprints, making the planned townhomes easier to understand and helping support strong pre-sale interest.
And at Yonahlossee
The partnership also extended to acquiring land and marketing planned townhomes at Yonahlossee. Each project called for its own combination of research, buyer guidance, and visual presentation.
What matters after the paperwork
In Our Clients' Words
Real reviews tell a different side of the story: the guidance clients valued, the preparation they noticed, and the relationships that continued after closing.
