I am so lucky to LIVE and WORK in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. I graduated from the University of Miami and lived in Florida until 1997 when I moved to Murphy, NC. Best decision of my life....

I have a wonderful husband and 3 great kids, Amanda-20, Ryan-18 and Kyle-16. We still all go on vacations together and hang out on the lake as much as possible.

I been in Real Estate for 5 years and have enjoyed every minute. The people I have met and the friendships I have made are everlasting.

In 2005 I started Smoky Mountain Merchant Services www.SmokyMtnMerchant.com - My company provides Merchant Services to Retail, Restuarant and Interenet businesses throughout the US.

I am Vice President of The Business Women of Cherokee County www.businesswomenofcherokeecounty.com  - The Business Women of Cherokee County provides an open forum where together businesswomen of Cherokee County with diverse occupations can help themselves and others grow professionally through leadership, education, networking support, and
community service.

Our vision is to see women of all professions and cultures come together unified and empowered by sharing the belief in the ability to create and shape how they live and grow within our community

Murphy NC is only 2 hours from Atlanta, Chattanooga and Asheville, Murphy, NC feels like it's from a different time and place. A time when life moved at a slower pace and people savored the simple pleasures.

Murphy NC is just minutes from trout streams, hiking trails, kayaking or white water rafting through the Nantahala Gorge and Ocoee. You can browse in one of many antique and craft shops or just enjoy the sunset on your own deck in peaceful solitude. You CAN have it all!!!!!

I am Mark Parsons, a real estate broker and appraiser in Florida for the past thirty-five years.  Never having bought a vacation home in a different state, my wife and I were thrilled that Bonnie was able to expedite the process efficiently, professionally, and personably.  Being in the profession, you can imagine I had a significant amount of questions and inquiries.  Bonnie was able to quickly answer or find the information for us, so, even though I was working long distance, the constant updates and communications went a long way to ease the apprehension.  I recall receiving one email in particular that included a photo of our home during a snowstorm...what a warm way to keep us up-to-date and interested!  Thanks, Bonnie!
