Chérie Bowers - Owner/Broker

I’m lucky enough to have been born and raised in Western North Carolina, and now I’m raising my family here. I couldn’t imagine being any other place. The landscape is beautiful, the people are friendly and the mountains offer endless activities and enjoyment.

Real estate has been my career since 1995 and I opened Smoky Mountain Getaways in 2001. I have the best job in the world! My favorite thing is helping a family have an unforgettable vacation or helping a family purchase the home of their dreams. It has led to many new friends whom I treasure.

When not at work, I enjoy time spent with my husband and our 2 daughters. We take full advantage of the outdoors by camping, hiking, boating and horseback riding. Many times are spent with friends and relatives just sitting on the porch enjoying the views and eating way too much southern food.

Ina Ustich - "Ina from Carolina" - Broker

I would like to invite you to the mountains of North Carolina. I am a native to the mountains and have two grown Cherokee sons and a granddaughter named Shyanne.

With 10 years of real estate experience and a familiarity with mountain land, I have an edge in selling lots and large tracts of land.

Being part of a small community without specialized agents, I have gained experience in both commercial and residential real estate. I am here to provide you with the professionalism and integrity needed to ensure that you feel secure in what can be one of the biggest decisions of your life.

Giving back to the community is very important to me. I have been an Ambassador of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce for 6 years. I served as the 2007 President Elect for the Northern Jackson Multiple Listing Service as well as the 2008 President and sat on the 2009 Board of Directors.

For all of your Real Estate needs give me a call and I will be glad to go to work for you.

From my family to yours - Welcome to our Town!!!

Reservations – all of us have first hand knowledge of each vacation home and enjoy helping plan vacations.

Maintenance & Housekeeping – Laura and Sarah oversee the cleaning schedules and maintenance portion of the cabin rental property management. They have a wonderful group of about 15 housekeepers who are hard working and well trained plus various maintenance subcontractors.

Real Estate Assistant – Laura helps with advertising and real estate. She is our jack-of-all-trades and is the office manager. One of her favorite hobbies is photography. Check out a few of her photos at www.laurabowersphotography.com.
