Eric Thomas

After a career as an opera singer and university professor, Eric and his family made the easy decision to relocate to where their hearts had always been: the North Carolina High Country!

During his many years traveling the globe, Eric has developed a unique sense of people and place, and a valuable sensitivity to culture and people's needs. As a part-time resident of fifteen years, Eric now brings an understanding of the High Country from both a part-timer and full-timer's perspectives. He and his family can be found out and about nearly every weekend, during every season, taking advantage of the High Country's many natural and cultural resources.

The attention to detail Eric honed in his previous profession serves him well in negotiating the complicated details of a real estate transaction, while his ability to identify with people on an intimate level enables him to respond to their needs in a tangible way. His belief that the High Country is the perfect place to live, raise a family, own a business, or have a second home make him a perfect choice to help sell your house -- or find your perfect home.

Eric says it best himself: "Simply put, there is no place I’d rather be. My wife and I got engaged here. We honeymooned here. Our kids spent their summers here. Finally, we asked ourselves “Why go home?” In fact, this WAS home—we just lived full-time somewhere else! So, we finally moved our household to where our hearts had always been. There is nowhere like the High Country of Western North Carolina. Life is better here."
