Hurricane Helene wrecked HAVOC on Western North Carolina (among other states) on September 26th, 2024. As a survivor of many hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina, Courtney wants to highlight the realities of our neighbors in the areas impacted. This is the first of a few episodes to bring awareness to what has happened and how it will impact or already has impacted Real Estate in those areas.

Courtney and Leigh cover many topics in their conversations but some you'll want to pay attention to are:

-what she is seeing in Western North Carolina (WNC)

-how she has been able to provide relief and what is most needed by the folks there (as of the recording of 10/24/2024 for an update, see her social media)

-what is she seeing in the local Real Estate markets of WNC

-some of the Real Estate woes they are seeing such as houses being missing, power expected to be out for 6-12 months for some areas, the river having eroded residential areas, etc

-the nasty insurance crisis and what might happen next -among other important conversation pieces
