We are convinced that because of Joy's knowledge and experience, the sales process yielded a result beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend Joy to anyone wanting to buy or sell property in the Highlands area. She is truly "5 Star" in our estimation. Thank you so much, Joy! "

" Judy Michaud & Meadows Mountain Realty are beyond wonderful. A rating of 10 is just not enough. I put my house on the market & placed an offer on a house on the same day in January & closed on the same day on both in May. Judy remained incredibly patient & enthusiastic throughout the entire 4 months. She kept me calm & positive the whole time which was not easy. She was always available & fiercely represented my interest every step of the way. She continues to take care of unfinished details. Everyone at Meadows Mountain Realty showed the same spirit of enthusiasm & assistance as Judy. I cannot imagine ever using any other realtor. I feel truly blessed to have had her on my side.

" We can't say enough about our experience with Faye Wurm and John Bynum. They are the 'Dynamic Duo'. We first me John almost 4 years ago when looking to buy a home. He probably showed us almost 20 homes that weekend. We narrowed it down to Highlands and bought a wonderful home in a fabulous area. After four years in Highlands, we decided to upgrade to a home with a 'Million Dollar View'. So, of course we listed our Highlands home with them and it sold quickly. Fortunately, they didn't find the 'Million Dollar View', we had to settle for the 'Billion Dollar View'! We couldn't be happier. They have been there for us, going above and beyond what any other realtors would do. Scheduling appointments, finding repairmen, moving furniture and running interference between two Type A spouses. We would highly recommend the Dynamic Duo, John Bynum and Faye Wurm. "

We are so happy with our purchase and so glad we worked with Angie!! "

" If there was an Academy Award for Realtors, Betty Holt would be a recipient. She directed us thought a very limited market to find our home. She then stayed with us from initial offer to final closing and believe me, there was a long, uncertain path between the two.

Faye is familiar with all the nooks and crannies, that is Highlands; that's exactly what I have been looking for in an agent. She is a well-seasoned real-estate agent who is familiar with the sales market, as well as the rental market in Highlands and the surrounding area.

I like to call her “The Plateau Ambassador” as she loves every aspect of the area and her passion is quite contagious! Lorna went above and beyond in helping us find our perfect home with detailed videos and the meeting and coordination of experts which allowed us to purchase our property long distance and site unseen!! Lorna is extremely detail oriented, very responsive, and dedicated to making sure the entire process is seamless. Although we initially met just by happenstance with me calling her initially about a property she had listed, i immediately liked her and I now consider her a friend. A friend that has my best interest at heart! "

She originally helped us list and sell our home, then went above and beyond to help us buy our second home, and even found something for us that was quite literally our dream home. Pinterest worthy, if you get what I mean. From staying up late to sort out paper work, to working on days off, she excelled in professionalism and helped dry tears from our fear of a dry market. Best realtor to ever exist and now even a good friend. We can’t wait to work with her in the future. Thank you Angie!!! Your forever clients. "

- Lisa Loglisci

" 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. "

" When I asked a trusted advisor who to use as the realtor for the sale of our mountain home in Highlands, he said that there was only one choice....Judy Michaud.

Don was great at explaining the ins and outs of the area as well as providing honest insight on several properties we looked at.

Once we decided to move forward with the sale, she created a well-thought-out pricing analysis but also included her extensive knowledge of the area to support a higher price than the comps showed. We had our house under contract in 3 days after receiving seven offers at or above list. We closed four weeks later and received significantly more than asking price. Rachel was with us every step of the way. We loved her and highly recommend her! "

"

" I am giving Bershire Hathaway 5 stars because of Faye Wurm and John Bynum. These are the 2 best agents I have ever had the pleasure to work with. They deliver more than what you expect! Both John and Faye were very positive, honest, compassionate (especially when you did not get your offer accepted), patient and generous with their time. I would put them up against any agent to deliver the best service. Thanks is not enough to say for helping us find our dream home! "

She went above and beyond in supporting me through my purchase, ultimately finding me an area that wasn't even on my radar, but met all of my wishlist items, and then locating a piece of property that wasn't even on the market through her connections! i would highly recommend Dinah to anyone shopping for property on the Highlands Plateau!

" I am a real estate investor and have purchased properties in four states in the last three decades. During that time I have worked with innumerable real estate brokers, but Judy Michaud stands alone as the best broker that I have worked with. Judy is incredibly knowledgeable and honest. I didn’t feel pushed to buy any particular property, she just shared her knowledge, pointed out any concerns she had, and helped guide me in the right direction. Judy quickly defended our position when there was conflict with the seller and supported me throughout that process. "

She made sure we were informed during every step of the way, she guided us through home inspections, she connected us to the right people, she explained the process, and she made the closing process so much easier and seamless. We can't wait to work with Lorna again and we will definitely recommend her to our friends and family. We can't say enough good things and thanks to Lorna! She is so rad! It was also such a treat to meet Emma as well! "

" This is the 8 th real estate transaction that John Muir handled for me. Each time he was very helpful and knew the right contacts to get the tough questions answered. John has a unique way of being attentive, yet not pushy. He also knows how to make the deal happen by finding the magic number. Which in the end is all that matters for both sides. The last listing he had for me went under contract in three days and closed in less than 30. They didn't even have a chance to put out the for sale sign. "

- Whiteside Mountain Valley LLC

Don's professionalism and insights were a big factor in me choosing the Cashiers area. I highly recommend Don to anyone! "

" Over the years, my husband and I have worked with realtors and realty companies that may have had the characteristics of professionalism, personal warmth, or knowledge of their market. Louise Booth, our agent with Berkshire Hathaway has all these qualities, plus so much more. We came to the area with one type of home in mind, but over time our criteria changed. Louise hung in there with us (perseverance), advised us, previewed homes/filmed two properties for us, and was always available corresponding via phone, text and email promptly and thoroughly. She recommended professionals and companies for us to work with both before and after our purchase of the home. I highly recommend Louise as an agent for real estate purchases/sales in the Highlands/Cashiers/Sapphire area. I would also like to add that the office staff was also very friendly and helpful. Overall, our experience was “five star”. "

Absolutely recommend her! "
