Early Spring Newsletter from the
Leslie Eason Real Estate Team
Hello Spring, Hello New Listings!
|
|
March is an interesting time here in the NC High Country, where daffodils are blooming one day and there are snow flurries the next. Our ski resorts will be open until the end of March. We have a list of some of our spring events and activities below.
The Real Estate market here is already in full bloom! New listings are coming on early as sellers realize that we are no longer a purely seasonal market. Numbers and activity stay much stronger through what used to be called the 'off season.' Some of our listings are featured later in the newsletter. Be sure to check out the videos of our luxury listings.

VACATION RENTAL homes have become a huge part of our Real Estate market, and I address that below. Many second home buyers and investors are looking for homes that can be rented to the increasing number of vacationers in this area. Our team has built some solid expertise in helping buyers and sellers in this vacation rental market.
Please enjoy this newsletter, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Vacation Rental Investment Properties:
A Large Part of our High Country Market
|
|
|
|
Are you thinking about buying a second home, but are worried about the expenses? Many buyers decide that they would like a second home they can also rent.
Are you looking for a good Real Estate investment and do not know how to choose?
A large percentage of our buyers have the same questions and we can help to answer them and navigate the process. Some of the questions we can address are:
|
|
- Which attributes in a home make for the best vacation rentals?
- Which properties or neighborhoods allow vacation rentals?
- What kind of ROI or income level can I expect or should I aim for?
- Should I use a management company or rent it myself through VRBO? What are the pros and cons? Can you recommend management companies?
- How do I transition rentals already in place when I purchase the property?
The Leslie Eason Real Estate team has helped many buyers and sellers in this process. We can help you think through it from beginning to end. We can also let you know when a new property hits the market that would be a great choice.
Even if you or your clients are in the beginning stages, we can give you some guidance as you begin the process. Please do not hesitate to reach out: Leslie@EasonTeam.com, 828-406-0828

VACATION RENTAL SPOTLIGHT:
This Side of Paris
Our clients Rina and Shan Norwood purchased a small cabin to update and put in a vacation rental program. Since Rina is one of the premier interior designers in the Charlotte area, the results were fantastic! This stylish gem typically rents for about $90 a night.

Testimonials: Our Latest Reviews!
|
|
"Leslie was our agent when we purchased our cabin and then again when we decided to sell it. We were so impressed with her work ethic, knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and responsiveness when we originally purchased that we couldn't imagine listing our cabin with anyone else. Our cabin sold in less than a week in large part to Leslie and all that she did on the marketing end before it went live in MLS. From start to finish Leslie was wonderful to work with."
|
|
"All I can say about Laurie and Chris Chilleli is that they're just awesome! They made our High Country home-buying experience a pleasure. Laurie and Chris are extremely knowledgeable about the market, very much attuned to what we wanted and didn't want, they listened carefully to everything we told them, answered all our questions honestly, and were extremely patient with us."

"Leslie Eason and Ashli are an outstanding team to consider as your real estate professionals. They helped me through a very difficult process of upgrading and selling a property that was 3.5 hours away from where I live. Leslie was quick to jump in and do whatever it took to keep things moving and help out when I was faced with challenges."
