Joan Champion To tell you a little about myself and how I came to this area, I will start at the beginning. My parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were born and raised in the mountains of Coker Creek. My parents moved away right after their marriage and lived "up North" during WW2.My family lived all over the country in the subsequent years. When my parents retired they moved back to our family farm in Coker Creek. More than twelve years ago my husband and I moved up here from Atlanta, Ga. It came as quite a surprise. I really had never expected to live here. Although I loved it as a child I had never stayed long enough as an adult to adjust to the pace. It is a very different life-style from the city. Much more "laid back" and the people are truly interested in taking time to appreciate nature and develop relationships with their neighbors. I enjoy it thoroughly now and find it difficult to think of living anywhere else. This area attracts warm, friendly, creative people who want more than property, they want a change of lifestyle. I enjoy meeting these people and helping make their dreams come true. If you call or e-mail me and let me know your needs I can promise that I will do my best to help you find just the right property. If you need to sell property let me assure you that although other areas in our country may be depressed, our area is still very much in demand. I get e-mails from all over the world from people who want to move to here. It is just a matter of time until they are able. Call me for a free consultation and my team and I can help you decide on just how to price your property for the market. If you are looking for investment property we can advise you on best locations, provide you with Monroe County Subdivision Regulations and give you the contact numbers you will need for different services. Looking for a "fixer upper" I can help you with that too. It's a lot of fun combining art and decorating skills with Real Estate. I'll be looking forward to meeting you. joan@joanchampionrealty.com
