BOONE
Boone, North Carolina is the “Kilometer-high” town at an elevation of 3333 feet! According to Norm Crampton, author of “Making Your Move to One of America’s Best Small Towns”, Boone is one of two of America’s “Best Small Towns” located in Watauga County.
Crampton lists Boone as one of the best “College Towns” in the country. The presence of Appalachian State University “adds a cultural component and guarantees you will see young people on the street,” he says. Boone is located in a valley, surrounded by the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The quaint older section of Boone, sits adjacent to the university campus, boasts a variety of art galleries, restaurants, shops and antique stores. The university brings a wide selection of cultural events in the visual and performing arts. “Appalachian Summer” is a cultural festival with events occurring each day during the month of July and attracts many visitors.  Here are some links to the beautiful High Country and surrounding countryside that will introduce you to the exquisite landscapes, special events, and unique historic towns in this area.

Working With An Agent >Real Estate Agent Representation
Which party in a real estate transaction is represented by the real estate agent--the buyer or the seller? Until recently that question was never asked because the answer was always the same. Traditionally all the marketing professionals involved in real estate transactions were legally and ethically obligated to conduct business on behalf of the seller. They may have aided the buyer in certain situations, but their client was the seller. Today that is not necessarily the case.
In a time of increasing specialization, buyers can be represented by a real estate agent who functions solely as a buyer's broker. In this case, the sales professional helps the buyer locate a home, negotiate the price, and is responsible to the buyer only, for an agreed-upon fee or a percentage commission.
In any real estate transaction you have the right to know which party the real estate agent is representing.
