FEATURED FACTS

WNC FACTOID #1: Not all North Carolina brokers are REALTORS, but all North Carolina REALTORS are North Carolina real estate brokers. That's because the term "REALTORS" applies only to brokers who belong to a national organization of over 1.3 million members, each of whom is required to adhere to that group's professional code of ethics. For more information about the National Association of Realtors, Click Here. For more information about the North Carolina Association of Realtors, Click Here.

WNC FACTOID #2: Over 1,700 agents and brokers who are REALTORS in Western North Carolina have consolidated their Multiple Listing Services (MLS), which lists properties for sale. This action makes four Western North Carolina Boards of Realtors that represent the five counties of Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison and Transylvania the largest MLS group in the mountains.

WNC FACTOID #3: Western North Carolina is known for its legendary natural beauty and temperate climate. Often referred to as WNC, this region covers 23 counties of the state's 100 counties. It is North Carolina's least populated region with less than one million full-time residents.

WNC FACTOID #4: The Blue Ridge Mountains are believed to be the oldest mountains in the world. Since the early 1900s, the outdoors and unhurried pace of Western North Carolina has attracted tourists and campers. Yet, increasingly, reinvigorated downtowns across the region are becoming destinations in their own right. Asheville is the largest city in the region and is known as the "unofficial capital of Western North Carolina."
