About Mitch

Your Local Guide to Mountain Living

The mountains of Western North Carolina have been my home for years, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I love helping people discover the beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and welcoming communities that make this region such a special place to call home.

Whether you're searching for a mountain cabin, a lakefront home on Lake Hiwassee, acreage with panoramic mountain views, or the perfect property to build your dream home, I'll help you navigate the process with local knowledge, honest advice, and a commitment to finding the right fit for your lifestyle.

Licensed in both North Carolina and Georgia, I work the whole tri-state mountain market — Murphy, Andrews, Hayesville, Topton and Marble in Cherokee and Clay County, plus Blue Ridge and Morganton, GA in Fannin and Union County. That means one broker, one conversation, and no handoff when your search crosses the state line.

The Johnson FamilyMurphy, NC
We were buying from four states away. Mitch walked properties for us, sent honest video, and told us which ones to skip. That saved us a wasted trip and a bad purchase.
