Carol's Testimonials

We have had experience with Carol when both selling and buying property in the Lake Toxaway area. In 2004, in a two month period, she was able to sell our investment property that no one else had been able to sell for two years.
 
IN 2006, when we decided to buy a home, we contacted Carol and were extremely pleased with our dealings with her.  She was a very dedicated, knowledgeable and pleasant agent, not to mention that she is the hardest working individual we are privileged to know. Within a month, we bought the perfect home.

In our forty plus years of using real estate brokers at various times, Carol Watkins is far and away, one of the best. From the first time we met her, we knew that her primary objective was to learn what we were looking for and then to do her very best to find it. It was obvious to us that her primary objective was to satisfy our needs and desires and not to simply earn a commission. During the negotiations for the purchase, she was very adept at negotiating with the seller and working through any occasional glitches that came along. She is a true professional, but more important, has now also become a good friend. She continues to help us in many small ways. We would highly recommend Carol to anyone, without any reservations and have done so.

We very much enjoyed working last year with Carol and her team. She was tireless in chasing down all the details behind the purchase of our lake house, and was completely professional every step of the way. Needless to say, the deal likely wouldn't have happened without Carol's expertise, persistence and guidance.

We really enjoyed working with Carol in our search for a second home at Lake Toxaway. She was patient, diligent and efficient, all of which were very important to us since we were from out of the area and had limited blocks of time in which to work. That was just the beginning; the best result was Carol’s help during the purchase and after, even today. She has been invaluable in helping us with resources, references and suggestions. She has become a good and trustworthy friend to our whole family.

Cissy and I were thoroughly pleased with your efforts in
recently selling our home located on the golf course in Lake Toxaway.
Your ideas and boundless energy were responsible for the successful
marketing of the home, and we greatly appreciate it.  We will gladly

Thanks again.

Carol represented me in the sale of my home during a tough market.  She was tireless in her efforts to market my home; she even volunteered to keep the plants watered.  Carol was very thorough in her knowledge of the Toxaway housing market and was very diligent in keeping me abreast of showings.  Her work ethic is exemplary and she always managed to be the calm, steady voice of reason.  As a buyer or a seller, you can't go wrong by having Carol Watkins as your agent.  Thanks Carol!

Jerry's Testimonials


Dear Jerry,

Susan and I want to formally thank you for all you did for us last year. Our experience could not have been better. You were gracious, helpful and patient with every visit which numbered about 20. In the year and one-half we looked with you, we toured at least 50 homes. You were a wealth of knowledge and, no doubt you know your business.
Since our purchase you have loaned us tools and have always given us great advice when we needed contractors to do work for us.
I guess I could sum it all up by saying—Thank you for being such a professional and for being such a great friend and on-going resource. We appreciate you.

" As we researched potential retirement locations, we visited Lake
Toxaway where it was our good fortune to meet and become clients of
Jerry Starr. Knowledgeable, personable
and extraordinarily helpful, Jerry's realty experience and his
sensitivity to detail enabled us to locate a property that was perfect
for us. We'll always be grateful that our path led us to Jerry Starr
and Lake Toxaway."

Team Testimonials

Becky and I were very pleased with the professional real estate assistance of Carol Watkins and Jerry Starr of The Lake Toxaway Company, in our pursuit of a home in Lake Toxaway, NC during the summer of 2007.
We looked at a variety of around 20 properties before deciding to purchase the home at 70 Club Court last September.  Prior to and after the closing, we had a wealth of information provided to us about the community and the surrounding area from Carol and Jerry.
We were completely satisfied with our decision, and we highly recommend them to any of their new prospects.

Carol has helped us in the purchase of two properties at Lake Toxaway.  She is professional, thorough and responsive.  The addition of Jerry to her team complements her skills and further increases her availability to focus on our needs.  We have referred her to several of our friends who have made purchases through her and they have been as pleased as Anne and I have.
