“Perfection Plus! Chuck is an extraordinary individual both personally and professionally. Chuck’s attention to detail, prompt and thorough communication and exceptional local knowledge (real estate market and demographics) of the Cashiers area is not only remarkable but his passion and enthusiasm for the area is contagious: Chuck for mayor! Chuck genuinely cares about the customer’s needs first and foremost: he’s an acute listener, a bona fide professional with an unprecedented work ethic.” ~ Client Review

“I would not even consider using anyone else. Chuck is extremely knowledgeable of the real estate process and the area. He responded to all of my calls, emails and text within minutes. He was very honest with us about the value of our home and worked very hard to get it sold, not just get the listing. Mr. Self is an honest, hard working man that I would definitely refer to any of my friends.” ~ Client Review

“We recently purchased a home in Lake Toxaway and could not be happier with the support and facilitation that Chuck and Riva provided. We were unfamiliar with the area and Chuck did a great job educating us on all the surrounding communities as well as some of the differences in buying real estate in NC. He is very personable and professional as well as responsive – which is critical in the real estate industry! Looking forward to enjoying our new home!”  ~ Client Review

“Chuck and Riva clearly provided the BEST real estate experience I have ever had. Chuck helped us purchase a home, and sell a home. He gave wise advice concerning both transactions. I have had a great deal of experience in the real estate market, and I have never felt so well represented, and certainly protected. Chuck is the best and I highly recommend him.” ~ Client Review

“Throughout the entire experience of selling our properties, Chuck provided excellent advice and was very thorough with his approach and methods. Always available to answer questions and offer guidance, Chuck’s interest in helping his clients is genuine and he does a great job managing the process, especially during the negotiation phases. Highly recommend!” ~ Client Review

“Chuck (and Riva Smith) have made the entire process painless. Not only has our experience been wonderful, but we have made a friend. Chuck is genuine, honest, and most helpful. We are grateful that he jumped into our lives and we are looking forward to many years in North Carolina.” ~ Client Review

“Chuck remained patient and diligent while understanding exactly what we were looking for.  He knows the area and so well he could easily answer any and all questions we had as well as having contacts in every group and business in the area which makes the process of searching, closing and now living up here that much easier.  Chuck and his assistant Riva have been unimaginably busy this past year with the areas boom, yet were always so quick to respond to my many emails and texts.  I know that the home we are in right now and loving so very much, would not have happened without Chuck as our realtor. We are forever grateful.” ~ Client Review
