Mentorship matters. 💫

Over the past several years, Sarah has had the privilege of mentoring young women through the Women of Walker program at Appalachian State University. This year, she loved getting to mentor Lauren and watch her grow as a young businesswoman.

We’re so proud of all the incredible women recognized at the recent pinning ceremony and especially proud of Lauren! Congratulations on this exciting milestone. We can’t wait to see all you accomplish in your future career! ❤️

At 828 Real Estate, community has always been at the heart of what we do—and we’re proud to officially partner with Make-A-Wish Foundation through their Homes for Hope Campaign 💙

This partnership allows us to help turn home sales into opportunities to bring hope, joy, and life-changing experiences to children facing critical illnesses. Every home has a story, and now, every closing has the potential to make an impact far beyond real estate.

We’re honored to be part of something bigger and excited to support local children and families here in Western North Carolina through this incredible mission ✨
