About Carol Mathews

The Relationship Realtor Because Your Home is Where Your Heart is . I was born in South Louisiana and moved to Highlands in 1983. This has been home ever since. This is such a special place to live, the beautiful national parks, the wildlife, the climate but mostly it is the community. When you move here you are welcomed with open arms and you immediately feel like part of the area. The favorite part of real estate is finding a special place you want, and introducting you to the communities, the people, the traditions and the way of life that you can only find up here in Highlands and Cashiers NC and the surrounding area.
