Mary Sitton, REALTOR® Hendersonville, NC and WNC Area

A Little background about Mary

Growing up, my father was a successful builder and REALTOR®. For a brief time, being a single father required that I tagged along with him on building projects after school. One of my first jobs was painting and cleaning for him. This gave me construction knowledge and experience that I have carried into my adult life. The lessons he taught me didn’t end there. I can remember hand-addressing open house invitations for my father’s open houses, where he was top listing/selling agent in TampaFlorida for Better Homes and Gardens. He just celebrated his 25^th wedding anniversary this June.

Thinking I had pretty big shoes to fill, I tried not to get into real estate. I’ve always had a desire to work and learn new things, which is why I have such a diverse background. In the end, however; I couldn’t ignore my interest in real estate.

Since obtaining my Brokers license in 2004, my passion for helping people has been the driving force for how I conduct my Business. I'm a REALTOR® who is committed to serving my clients with uncompromising integrity and professionalism.

I’ve had the privilege of seeing the excitement on a first-time home buyer’s face as they turn the key to their first home. There’s no place like your own home.

I’ve been honored to help ease the burden of what to do with a loved-one's possessions, and how to handle the sale of a home while the family lives out-of-state.

I have many wonderful letters and memories of how the services I've provided have far exceeded the monetary compensation I've received upon completing the task asked of me.

In 2010, I expanded my services to include: Home Staging and Gann Property Management.

The right REALTOR® can and does make all the difference.

About Hendersonville North Carolina

Surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, Hendersonville and Henderson County are known as a beautiful and clean area. Hendersonville is known as ";The City of Four Seasons"; an ideal community for young families, retirees and all those in between.

Henderson County is nestled atop a 2,200-foot scenic mountain plateau between the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains, and is just a short distance on the Blue Ridge Parkway from Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi.

Major metropolitan areas are a short drive from Hendersonville, located conveniently on Interstate 26 with close access to Interstates 40, 85 and 81.

Henderson County offers abundant cultural opportunities for residents and visitors of all ages. The State Theater of North Carolina, a symphony orchestra, festivals throughout the year, parks and hiking trails all add to diverse entertainment and recreational opportunities.

Hendersonville was a rich, rolling uninhabited Cherokee hunting ground before Revolutionary War soldier William Mills ";discovered"; it in the late 1780s. He received one of the first land grants west of the Blue Ridge and established it to later become the thriving community it is today.

The county was named for Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court, Judge Leonard Henderson. In the 1840s, Hendersonville received its original charter and had a population of several hundred residents. Henderson County is considered a ";typical"; mountain county because it is comprised of mountain ranges, isolated peaks, a rolling plateau, and level valley areas.Elevations range from 1,400 feet near Bat Cave at the foot of the Blue Ridge, to 5,000 feet on Little Pisgah. Henderson County is 375 square miles.

Originally, agriculture was the sole producer of revenue of Henderson County citizens. Tourism later added to the economy, followed by retailing, manufacturing, and retirement.

Having easy access from the lowlands, Hendersonville became a summer vacation spot because of the area´s invigorating climate. Industrial development became an important aspect of the economy after World War II, with the founding of the Chamber of Commerce Industrial Division. As a result, the economic base today is manufacturing, agriculture, tourism and retirement development. Henderson County has long been known for its thriving apple orchards and leads the state in apple production.

Communities within Henderson County have played a large role in the success of the area. Flat Rock, with its wealthy settlers, formed a continuous and ever-renewing link between the mountain natives and the world of business and new ideas. Fletcher is known for the beautiful Calvary Episcopal Church, the ";Westminster Abbey of the South,"; and has memorials to many historic figures.

Zip Codes for the city of Hendersonville include: 28739,28791,28792,28793.

Population of Henderson County - 102,142. Populationin the City of Hendersonville 12,751

There are many colorful places throughout Henderson County named for the land appearance as well as founders and settlers of the region. Others are of Indian origin, such as Zirconia, Horse Shoe, Etowah, Tuxedo and Bearwallow.

Testimonials

Dear Mary,

How can I thank you enough for everything you did to sell my aunt's home? When we met my aunt had just passed away and my mother was under Hospice care. I immediately felt relief and confidence that you were the right person for the job.

While I was out of state, you were the perfect long distance project manager overseeing the cleaning out of the house, evaluating what work needed to have done, finding reliable people to do it, closely monitoring the progress, and then with staging the home so perfectly. All along the way you kept me up-to-date with phone calls, emails and photos.

Once the house was ready to for sale, you advertised relentlessly and held many open houses. Considering the current market we weren't surprised that it took longer than we had hoped to sell, but you were persistent and we eventually arrived at a good, clean closing at a fair price.

I would encourage anyone selling or buying a home in the Hendersonville area to use your services. You are smart, creative, energetic, highly ethical, and completely charming. You took what could have been an overwhelming task for me and made it easy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Fran Spencer

I found Mary Sitton to be an excellent agent. I was an "absentee" seller and the home was a difficult sale (changing demographics and current market), but Mary kept the listing open and active. We communicated via phone or e-mail and she was consistent in keeping me informed about the progress of the sale.

Mary is a devout Christian which is seen in her work ethic. She has a servant's heart, and works to the good of all who are involved. She is honest in her dealings and refuses to be compromised by less than excellent work.

Should I ever need an agent in the Hendersonville area again, I will not hesitate to call.

Should Mary need further recommendations, she has my permission to share my phone number with others.
