Dick & Diana Heinrich (and Bella) – Dunwoody Georgia:
“We are writing this letter to give our highest possible recommendation for Carol Mathews. We first became acquainted with Carol as a Realtor in North Carolina. We met Carol about 12 years ago during our first visit to Highlands. During our initial meeting, Carol outlined how we would work together. She asked good intelligent questions about our current needs and long range goals. She then went to her data base and found many potential listings. She carefully evaluated each listing and how it might meet with our goals and price range and then presented them to us. She did this independently and was fully prepared for every meeting. We were quite impressed with her professionalism, honesty, and her enthusiasm for her job. Over the years, we continued to visit the Highlands, and look at properties with Carol.
During this time, Carol never tried to push us into purchasing a property that we did not want. After many years of searching and thinking that the prices would surely come down, and they never did, we finally purchased a beautiful piece of land from Carol about four years ago. We are so happy that we finally made our first investment in the Highlands. We held on to the land for about three years and then we sold it and made enough of a profit to purchase our fist home in Highlands. We both feel so fortunate that Carol Mathews was our real estate agent for both of these transactions. Carol patiently guided us though the Real Estate process and helped us achieve our dream of owning property in the Highlands. Over the years of working with Carol in a Realtor/Client relationship, we also became friends and visit with her often.
Carol Mathews sets herself apart from the average realtor in her dedication to her profession, her desire to help her clients achieve their dreams, and her integrity. It is without reservation that we would work with Carol when we are ready to sell or purchase another property. It is also without reservation that we would recommend Carol to anyone else that might be considering investing in real estate in North Carolina. Please feel free to contact us personally at 770-395-9080 if you should care to ask questions about this recommendation or about our experience with Carol Mathews.”

“I met Carol through a mutual friend when I was looking to move to the Cashiers/Highlands area. As soon as I made contact I found out how knowledgeable and professional she really is. She made my transition to the mountains so easy, finding me a home that perfectly suited me and making the transaction as easy as possible while I was still living in New York. Her advice was attentive to my needs not only in the type of home that I was looking for but also in the area that was most conducive to my professional situation. Once I moved to the mountains and spent some time in her office I found out how respected she is by her fellow Realtors and what a wonderful reputation that she has throughout the area. I highly recommend Carol Mathews not just as a Realtor but as a wonderful source of information in this beautiful area where she has made her home for 21 years. She will enjoy finding your real estate as much as you will enjoy working with her for hours on end until the deal is done. She will not leave a stone unturned once you put your requests in her hands.”

“We recently purchased a beautiful mountain home with Carol Mathews as our Realtor. We first contacted Carol by phone after seeing one of her listings online. I found her to be very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. After discussing what we were looking for, Carol began her search of the best properties available that would meet our needs. She mailed us real estate publications and sent property listings online for us to preview. She made us feel as though we were her only clients, although I know we were not. Carol was so attuned to our wants and needs; we ended up buying the first house she showed us. We never felt pressured by Carol in any way to make an offer. We always felt that she had our, rather than her own, best interests at heart. After Carol’s wise advice, our offer was accepted. Carol made recommendations for hiring the professionals to inspect, make repairs, insure, and close the property. After the closing, when many realtors have received their checks and are on their way, Carol continued to help in many ways. Being nine hours away, we were unable to meet the many service people required when a new home is purchased. Carol graciously met them and called us when the work was complete. Carol is simply the best Realtor we have ever worked with and this is our fifth home purchase over the years. She has impeccable integrity and does what she says she will do. She knows her market and offers her honest professional opinion to her clients so that they can make informed decisions and wise investments. We are honored to call Carol Mathews a friend and thank her from the bottom of our hearts for finding our home in the beautiful western North Carolina Mountains.”
