About Don and Jan Blair:

As a broker associate with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Blowing Rock office, Don Blair works with a dynamic group of associates that provides outstanding service to its customers, before, during and after the sale. Don has had 30 years of experience in manufacturing management and ownership in the furniture industry, a career that provided him and his family the opportunity to live in Ecuador and Brazil, among other places, servicing domestic and international customers. Thirty years ago he and his wife, real estate partner and college sweetheart, Jan, and their two children, Jeff and Beth, returned to North Carolina. Five grandchildren later, they are still fortunate to work and play in what they consider to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Jan has been in real estate almost 18 years, having entered into the field as an associate broker in the Blowing Rock market in 1998.Early in her career, she developed an affinity for showing and selling large parcels of land, but now focuses more on residential properties as market demands changed. However, she is always up for a great hike or four-wheeling on a beautiful piece of land.Three years ago, Jan joined several seasoned Realtors® in a partnership selling real estate, a company that became a Premier Sotheby’s International Realty office in late 2015. One of Jan’s many strengths is her passion for real estate in the High Country, and she loves meeting new people and introducing them to that beautiful part of the world. Having resided in Ecuador, Brazil, as well as northern and southern states, she adapts to various environments easily.This flexibility is an asset in working with many types of buyers. A good listener, she discovers the real estate dreams of her clients and then works diligently to help them fulfill their wishes.Her integrity and loyalty are trademarks that her clients rely on many years after their initial contract is executed. Outside of real estate, Jan cherishes time with her husband, Don, whom she met while both were attending North Carolina State University. They enjoy being with their son and daughter, and especially with their five fabulous grandchildren.With many trails in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Jan and Don hike with their two dogs whenever possible. They enjoy watching sports, particularly ACC basketball and Carolina Panthers football.They love the arts and try to stay active in the Blowing Rock Museum of Art and History and the Turchin Center for Visual Arts. They also enjoy music and attend many events at the Schafer Center for Performing Arts at Appalachian State University.Their favorite activity, however, is traveling. She and Don both love seeing and experiencing new places, whether it is Paris in the spring or hiking the spectacular trails in Zion National Park. She is a member of the High Country Association of Realtors®.

You know that trip everyone keeps talking about in your family group chat?

This is the house where it actually happens!!

There’s room to spread out, a game room with billiards and air hockey, a bar and media area downstairs, a hot tub outside, a fire pit for later and covered porches made for sitting around way longer than you planned. And because it’s offered fully furnished, most of the hard part is already handled.

Now somebody just needs to volunteer to OWN the mountain house. Will it be you?

Timing the market is never the only factor. Strategy and preparation matter just as much. Here’s what sellers should be thinking about right now:

📊 Market timing vs. opportunity: Waiting for lower rates may also mean more competition and shifting buyer behavior
👀 Buyer demand is still active: Well-priced homes continue to attract serious buyers, even in higher-rate environments
💰 Equity position matters: Many homeowners are sitting on usable equity that can help fund their next move
🏠 Pricing + presentation strategy: The right positioning can have more impact than timing alone

One day on the market. Full asking price. That's the kind of result every seller hopes for.

This charming creekside log cabin captured buyers' attention immediately, going under contract in just one day and selling for 100% of the asking price.

A successful sale like this doesn't happen by chance. It starts with strategic pricing, thoughtful marketing, professional presentation, and understanding exactly what today's buyers are looking for.

Congratulations to our wonderful sellers on a fantastic outcome, and congratulations to the new owners who get to continue the story of this special mountain retreat.

Thinking about selling? Let's talk about what your home could be worth in today's market. You may be surprised by the demand.

🍂Your personality from October through November could be:
Wake up in a log cabin.
Coffee on the covered porch.
Spend the day exploring the High Country.
Come home, light the fire.
Hot tub.
Game of pool.
Repeat tomorrow.

Just throwing that out there...

871 Willow Mountain is ready for its next chapter, and fall seems like a pretty great time to start it!
