"We loved working with Carol because she took the time to educate us about the Highlands market. She was immediately on top of any new appropriate listings as soon as they came on the market. We were able to secure the perfect home for our family. I especially appreciated Carol's responsiveness and professionalism. She was the perfect fit for me as she was efficient without the endless, annoying small talk that one can sometimes encounter. Her knowledge of the local market was outstanding. We will definitely recommend her to our friends in Palm Beach."

"Carol Mathews is a long time resident of Highlands, North Carolina. Her knowledge of the area proved to be quite valuable. I was a difficult client. I had a vision of what I thought would be the perfect mountain home. I kept changing that idea. It took one day a week for eighteen months in a four-wheel-drive vehicle to find it. Carol was not only extremely patient she actually listened. She didn't write me off and she didn't waste my time. She was determined to find just the right place. Not only did she find the perfect home, she helped with all the little details that made my transition to the mountains painless. Carol is an honest, ethical, compassionate professional that I feel privileged to now call friend."

"Carol Mathews, formerly of Signature Properties and now with Meadows Mountain Realty, exemplifies all of the wonderful qualities anyone could wish for in a real estate professional. After she helped us find our beautiful vacation home in Highlands, we understand completely why our friends Bruce and Peggy Laval recommended her so highly.

We were impressed by Carol's knowledge of area real estate, her resourcefulness, and her availability to address any questions or concerns that we might have. She is an optimistic, kind and giving person who has become a dear friend who we meet whenever we go to Highlands.

Carol showed us numerous properties, helped us determine which type of property would best suit our particular needs as our second home, assisted in negotiations with the seller, located an appraiser, inspector, and an attorney to handle the closing. She continues to provide helpful information about people in Highlands who can provide needed services (painting, window replacement, repairs, etc.)

We are incredibly pleased with the services that Carol provided and continues to provide us and our family members when we visit Highlands.

And we are delighted with our new mountain home."

"To Whom It May Concern:

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 database 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 first 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."
