Raegen Elrod – Licensed in NC & TN | High Country Specialist

Born and raised in the world of construction, I’ve spent my life walking job sites, learning how to recognize quality craftsmanship, smart design, and the potential in every property. With decades of family experience in the building industry behind me, understanding a home’s bones and seeing opportunities where others see obstacles is second nature to me.

I’m proud to call the beautiful High Country my home, a place where mountain views, fresh air, and the rural lifestyle come together to create something truly special. I grew up riding horses, rodeoing, and travelling the world. Today, I’m raising my family surrounded by chickens in the yard, veggies growing in the garden, mini donkeys grazing in the pasture, and sunsets that never get old.

Helping others discover that dream is not just my job, it’s my passion. Whether you’re searching for your forever home, a cozy cabin retreat, investment property, or selling a property you’ve loved, I’m here to guide you every step of the way with honesty, local knowledge, and genuine care.

Looking for a real estate agent who knows the land, understands construction, and truly listens to your goals? You’ve found her! Let’s find your perfect place in the mountains together.

Buying? Selling? I’m the Realtor you need.
