The Lake James Team – Keller Williams Unified
Who we are & what we do

If you have found your way to this page, chances are you have heard whispers of Lake James. Perhaps a friend leaned across the table and said, in a dramatic tone usually reserved for fishing stories, “You simply must see it.” Or perhaps you were driving through the Blue Ridge foothills when the light hit the water just right and you felt the kind of pull poets attempt to describe and football fans feel on the first Saturday of fall.
We know that feeling well.
Fletcher Edens and Bryan Jones have been selling real estate on Lake James since 2003. That was back when flip phones were impressive and the Wolfpack was already teaching us the valuable life lesson of emotional endurance. Since that time, we have helped hundreds of families buy and sell property throughout Lake James, Morganton, Marion, Nebo, and the surrounding foothills of Western North Carolina. We have seen markets rise, cool, and rise again. Through it all, our purpose has remained steady as the ancient mountains that frame this lake: to serve our clients with honesty, skill, and a deep respect for the responsibility entrusted to us.
We are proud graduates of North Carolina State University. We cheer for the Wolfpack with a loyalty that is both heartfelt and medically concerning during basketball season. We maintain a friendly but firm disdain for the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils, which we consider a sign of good judgment. Our love of college football and college basketball has taught us about preparation, teamwork, and the importance of showing up ready to compete. Those same principles guide how we represent our clients.
Our practice is focused on Lake James waterfront homes, lake access homes, mountain view properties, residential neighborhoods, and land throughout Burke County and surrounding communities. Whether you are searching for a primary residence, a second home, or land on which to build your future, we provide careful guidance at every step. We also assist sellers in positioning their properties strategically in the marketplace, using thoughtful pricing, strong marketing, and clear communication.
Real estate in North Carolina comes with specific rules, disclosures, and procedures, and we follow them carefully. We believe in full transparency, adherence to North Carolina real estate regulations, and strict observance of Fair Housing laws. We are committed to equal professional service for all persons. Every client deserves respect, diligent representation, and access to accurate information so they can make informed decisions. We take that responsibility seriously.
We are also proud to be part of Keller Williams Unified and The Lake James Team. Our brokerage provides a strong foundation of education, technology, and collaboration, allowing us to deliver a high level of service while maintaining the personal relationships that define small town North Carolina. Around here, your Realtor is not just a sign in the yard. He is the person you see at the grocery store, at the boat ramp, and occasionally celebrating a Wolfpack victory with perhaps more enthusiasm than is strictly necessary.
Lake James is not just water and shoreline. It is early morning mist rising like a hymn. It is laughter echoing across a cove at sunset. It is grandparents teaching grandchildren to bait a hook. It is a place where stories begin. Helping people write those stories is the great privilege of our work.
Laura Faria is an important part of our team. She brings professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine care for our clients that strengthens everything we do. Laura assists in coordinating transactions, supporting marketing efforts, and ensuring that each client experience is smooth and well organized from contract to closing. Her commitment to service reflects the standards we hold as a team.
Since 2003, we have built our business on relationships, local knowledge, and consistent results. We believe that buying or selling property is not merely a transaction. It is a turning point. It deserves clear advice, steady guidance, and a sense of humor when the unexpected arises, as it often does.
If you are considering buying or selling on Lake James or anywhere in our Western North Carolina market, we would be honored to speak with you.
