I want to express our thanks to Heather Ball and all the fine folks at Mountain Life Properties. They were tremendously helpful to my wife and me with our recent purchase of land in Cullowhee and Franklin. Heather has been the consumate professional and brought her considerable knowledge of the local area to our behalf as a buyers agent. During our due diligence period, we encountered many potential roadblocks. With Heather's guidance we successfully navigated around every one of the obstacles. The attention to details and prompt follow- up that we received from Heather and her team helped us to successfully close on both properties. Even thou...

Heather is committed to her family and community and is always looking for ways to support the people around her. I know her to be trustworthy, reliable and willing to help people in any way possible. Heather is respectful of other’s time and generous with her background and knowledge. She takes time to listen to people’s questions and concerns. Her professional and confidential manner keeps her acting in the client’s best interest. In all that she does, Heather maintains a sense of optimism balanced with a firm commitment to reality in her expectations. Her ability to balance the aspects of work and family is admirable.

John was a total pleasure to work with. We had a three-day marathon tour of homes in the Highlands, Cashiers, and Sapphire area and John found multiple properties that met the criteria we set for him. He handled the negotiations with the seller smoothly and we felt we were receiving wise counsel throughout. Because we were an out-of-state purchaser, John did everything we needed for the closing, from recommending attorneys, handling the inspections, utility contacts, handyman services, etc. This made for an easy and pleasurable experience. In addition to his professionalism, John is a really good guy and we look forward to having him as a friend as...

My husband Kevin and I were looking for a second property in North Carolina. We had been looking for several years, but we were unfamiliar with the western part of North Carolina. We felt we would benefit from a Realtor® even after doing our own research. John turned out to be a perfect choice: very responsive, organized, patient, receptive to our needs and a good listener. We were able to purchase the perfect home at a great price and we give the credit to our Realtor® and now friend, John Sheehan.

Being from out of state I needed an agent that would carry the ball and take care of all the issues including everything from making the house salable to all of the showings, customer vetting, financing arrangements, arranging for a wide varied of repairs required by the buyer, and finding qualified repair people with good references in line with a reasonable budget to make the deal work and successfully closed the sale, on time on a mail away without a hitch. A great no-hassle experience.

We had a wonderful experience working with Doug in both selling our home and in looking for a new one. He always called or emailed us back. He backed up his advice with facts. He did a professional marketing job on our home to sell it- beautiful pictures and community info. He set up the youtube video to help it sell also. He knew who and where to target the buyers to sell our home. We have recommended him to our friends and family and he's done a great job with them as well.

Covid brought high prices to our area. I wanted to be in town at particular price. It took a year of looking at everything but John did not give up. He is persistent and patient and finally found what I wanted.He is professional and represents his client. I recommend him!

John Sheehan is the best!! Not only is he kind and genuine, but he is also very knowledgeable about the area and the houses for sale. He will go out of his way to help you any way he can...the best Realtor® we've ever used!! Thank you John. We so enjoyed working with you!

I work with many agents when I inspect homes. In working with Heather Ball she was well organized, kind, and honest. This helped me do a better job of home inspection. I believe these are good qualities for an agent working for a home buyer or seller.

Very good person solved the problems with out having to always bring the problem for me to solve. great "salesmanship" knows how to fix up a vacant lot so that it shows well. i am continuing to use him on other listings in North carolina.

Heather went above and beyond to help with the sale of our home. She was very easy to work with and always there to answer any questions we had, big or small. She sold our home quickly and gave us confidence throughout the whole process.

Heather is a hardworking, extremely organized, conscientious agent who goes the extra mile for her clients. She always has a smile. Working with Heather is rewarding because she keeps everything simple, a very refreshing trait!

He listened and didn’t push my decision. He went to and made sure all inspections were done. He made sure the house was fixed as expected. I would recommend him and even go to him if I need to buy or sell my house.

I work with Heather, and I find that she is extremely professional. She is hard working and very diligent in performing all tasks that are required to complete the job. She is a pleasure to work with!

John was a pleasure to work with! He made adjustments to our schedule on the spot to fit our tight schedule and our changing requirements. You will be very satisfied working with John.

It has been my pleasure to know and work directly with Doug for more than thirty years. His knowledge and ethics are greatly admired at work and in the community.

I would highly recommend using Heather for buying or selling a home in the WNC market! She was top-notch and clearly a market expert.

Friendly, good listener, responsive. A pleasure to do business with her!

Goodman. Creative thinker. Innovative.

Very helpful!
