Michael Frady - Realtor

Born and raised in Jackson County, I have watched it grow to become one of the best kept secrets for avid golfers and families wanting to escape from the "real world".  The mountains have their own natural beauty that’s hypnotizing.  Once you have seen them first hand and experienced life on the Highlands-Cashiers plateau, you can't escape.  It is amazing how many people start out visiting for a week, then a month, and before you know it they have become a member of the community.

I attended East Carolina University in Greenville, NC but was eager to come back to the place I’ve grown to love - The North Carolina Mountains.  While attending ECU, I earned a Bachelors Degree in Business and Administration with a concentration in Marketing which I believe to be a great tool to have in the Real Estate industry. 

I pride myself on knowing this market very well and I am always exploring ways to help promote/sell my clients properties but honestly- the property sells itself.  The natural beauty on the Highlands-Cashiers plateau is un-matched and truly special.  The River Rock Communities include some of the most unique and beautiful properties in the North Carolina Mountains.
