I came to the North Carolina Mountains in 1966 to obtain a Master’s Degree from Appalachian State University. During the 41 years since that decision I have developed a love for the mountains and the people here. My children were raised in this wonderful community, and I have always been grateful that my choice, those many years ago, was a sound investment in all of our lives.

My knowledge of home construction and quality materials used in home construction began soon after my move to the mountains with my family. I was involved in the sale of building supplies and came to know many of the local builders through this association. I think this knowledge is an added strength when helping buyers find sound homes and also in helping sellers set a favorable price for their homes.

I am people oriented and a good listener. I am willing to go the extra mile to have a satisfactory outcome. I want to match the home buyers with the perfect home for their needs. I am a strong advocate on behalf of sellers finding suitable buyers for their properties.

I have been associated with Weber~Hodges Realtors for 15 years. I know the local market very well and I am interested in serving clients with courtesy, honesty, and attention to detail. Please feel free to contact me with any real estate questions you may have.

I found paradise, right here in Boone, NC! Having been brought up in Buffalo, NY and then trying Florida and Maryland, I finally found what I have always wanted, a place where I can enjoy the rough surroundings of the mountains, a place with a laid back culture and friendly people. I found a place that I could call home; a place where I could grow old and love life. Hi, I’m Chris Perry, and I changed my whole life after I discovered Boone.

I left a carrier job with a multi-national restaurant chain that most would have said, I had it pretty good; you know, benefits, paid vacation, and 401 k. But that stuff just was not good enough. I wanted to live life where I woke up every day and smiled and thought, I made it! I made it, not by wealth but by being able to live where I want and to do the things I like to do. I still need to make my own family but that will come in time. I am fortunate enough to have some of my nuclear family living near by.

I love the sport of white water kayaking. When I’m not showing a house or following up with a home inspection, I like to take my kayak to the Watauga River and practice my kayak rolls or maybe just take a walk on one of the many hiking trails around here.

I did come out of the hospitality business with some good benefits. It taught me “customer service”. To listen to your client’s unique needs first and then assist them any way possible. To make myself available to answer questions or to follow up a transaction! Whether you are buying or selling a house, it is nice to have someone there that is working for you. Helping you in any way they can. Someone that you can depend on! That’s me, I pride myself with the fact that I am a bit of a perfectionist, I have to see things all the way though.

I like to think that by the time we reach closing, we have become friends, someone that you could call on later, and feel comfortable asking if I wanted to get-together and do something.

At Weber~Hodges Realtors, we are like family. We all help each other out and that carries over to our clients. You get the expertise of an entire office not just one Realtor. I’m proud to be on this team and I hope you will give me a call and let me assist you or we could just go kayaking and call it a day.

In 2000 we fulfilled a dream to live in the mountains. Wayne owned a retail optical business for 25 years, specializing in the art of creating artificial eyes for patients who through accident, birth defect or disease had lost an eye. Carolyn worked in the dental field for 15 years but had also taught microwave cooking and had a live microwave cooking show on TV with a friend. She had also dabbled in catering and did some quantity cooking at their church’s 500 acre campground. After their 3 children grew up and moved away, they decided to move away too… to the mountains.

Having both been in business of service and being so excited about living in the mountains; it seemed natural to do a jump shift in careers. We became realtors and have loved helping people find their dream property, be it a log cabin, condo, lot, acreage or investment property.

We don’t mind going the extra mile, offering dependable service and walking closely with clients through the exciting process of selling or acquiring property in the High Country.

I am a cum laude graduate of Appalachian State University’s Industrial Technology Program. I majored in Appropriate Technology and focused on Sustainable Building, Solar, Wind and Hydro electric technology and Sustainable Development. I enjoy sharing the information I learned in college to help educate people on the benefits of Appropriate Technologies. While in college, I also studied construction, wood working, welding, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and drafting. This basic knowledge of home building and its systems gives me an advantage in the real estate profession.

I am a member of the Avery-Watauga Association of Realtors and maintain my real estate license in Tennessee. I can effectively show and sell properties in 2 states and 4 counties.

I moved here to finish college in 1992 and have loved this area from day one. My husband and I are raising our two sons here and are proud to be residents of Boone.
