Alan found us a great lot in January to build on and then Tina sold our current home for close to what we were asking in November of the same year in a tough sellers market of 2007. Then they recommended a couple of builders for our new home we plan to build in 2008. Can't wait to build and spend more time in the NC mountains. Great job Carolina Cone Team!

My husband, Todd,  and I are from Clemson, SC., located approximately one hour southeast of Cashiers, known as the beautiful Foothills. On a regular basis, we drive up for an afternoon or occasionally spend a night or two in or around the Cashiers area.  Our dream, has always been and still is, is to have a small cabin for a weekend get-away.
 
In the past while visiting, we had walked off the street into different Real Estate offices if we stumbled across an interesting listing or property ~ but no Realtor had stood out or made a connection with us that warranted any loyalty.
   
Around 1998, Todd and I spent a few days vacationing at Cottage Inn, located in Cashiers.  While there, we asked the receptionist if she knew of a good Realtor that she could recommend.  She recommended Tina Cone to us.  Well, Tina stood out . We were/are wowed with her awesome personality and devotion that she has shown us.  We are always treated as if we are shopping for the million dollar property, but nothing could be further from the truth.  Actually, we are a Real Estate Agents nightmare ~ the ones looking for the the deal on a cheap fixer-upper or a low-end lot.  That never once has swayed Tina from sending us any info that met our criteria or helping us in any way ~ and this went on for years. 
 
Todd and I often expressed one another how lucky we felt to have found her and how she was such a terrific person and Realtor.  Some years later, Alan came on board with Tina, and we must say that they make a perfect team.  Alan has every bit the personality, devotion and true professionalism that Tina has.
 
After many, many, years working with Alan and Tina, Todd and I finally bought a lot in Whisper Lake to build a spec home on.  We placed our trust in them entirely to help us locate a desirable lot to purchase for a "resale location".  They have always been dead-on the "up and coming" areas as we have watched their prediction come true time after time, over the years. 
 
Recently,  they sold our spec-home for us in this less than desirable market.  They have repeatedly worked hard for us and we hope to do more business with them in the future.  Alan and Tina are top-notch Realtors and people that we highly recommend to anyone looking in their area. We can say with no uncertainty that you won't be dissatisfied.
 
Thank you Tina and Alan!
 
Very sincerely,
Todd and Norma Newton

Don Newland
In my search for a home in the Cashiers area I turned to Alan Cone, who analyzed my needs and requirements and found the perfect place for me in a short period of time. He helped me navigate the path to closing with wisdom and experience. This is the seventh home I have purchased in my lifetime and I found Alan to be knowledgeable and professional, directing me to community institutions and organizations that possess the same honesty, warmth, follow through and attention to detail that he himself employs. I can say without reservation that Alan is one of the best Realtors that I have ever worked with and I am happy to recommend him as a personal guide to anyone seeking property in the Cashiers/Sapphire area.

You sold our house when others couldn't. You sold it for more money than the prior broker had it listed for. In a neighborhood of multi-million dollar homes, we greatly appreciated your treating us and our home as priorities.

Tina is so professional, knowledgable and thorough. Alan spent an entire week with me traipsing up the mountains to show me lots. This couple is fun, honest, and they get the job done!

My wife and I visited the Cashiers-Highlands area to purchase a vacant piece of property.

Ken and Joy Millard
We currently have a home in Holly Forest with an excellent view to the west which we visit once a month from Atlanta. Each time we come up, we would always go "lot" hunting. It became so time consuming that we decided to hire a real estate agent, and tell them what we were looking for in a lot, so we could build our own designed retirement home. So we hired The Carolina Cone Team. Well, one day a lot became available in an area we had already visited on our own a few months earlier, in which my wife and I both said "wouldn't it be nice if something became available in this area". When Alan called us, he said "I've got something I think you're really going to like". So we drove up that weekend and immediately said "Yes we'll take it". If it wasn't for Alan being on top of things in the community, we would never have known that it became available. Alan, thanks for a professional job well done. Now, we have just put our current home up for sale with Tina, and if our previous experience with The Carolina Cone Team is any indication of things to come, then we will be building our new home soon.

I encountered the Keller Williams website as well as countless others by performing a web search. The motivating factor in selecting their site was reviewing the posted testimonials. The motivating factor in purchasing my new vacation home from Keller Williams were the people. The Keller Williams team I worked with were extremely well informed, proactive, responsive and passionate. I would strongly encourage anyone interested in purchasing property contact Alan and Tina Cone. Thank you for enriching my life with a beautiful home and a most pleasant and memorable experience.

Tina and Alan did a wonderful job selling our house. They stayed in touch with us and were very easy to get hold of throughout the entire process. I would have never imagined we could sell a home with so little stress and worry! This is the third time we've used Tina and Alan and we couldn't be more pleased.

My husband and I have been in real estate for many years, as real estate professionals as well as purchasers and sellers of a large number of real properties, and never have we come in contact with realtors as competent, knowledgeable and professional as Alan and Tina Cone.

From the time that we contacted Alan until the closing we were treated with supreme professionality. We wanted to buy a vacation home in the mountains, Alan personally showed us 13 houses in one day and he even found one that was not listed and that was the one we purchased. Alan was very helpful in arranging a loan and held our hand through all the stages of purchase. He knows everybody in the area and was able and willing to recommend people to us who could provide various services. We have no hesitation recommending Alan and his team to anyone wanting the professional skills and services of an excellent real estate team.
