About Carolina Smokies Association of REALTORS
The Carolina Smokies Association of REALTORS (CSAR) covers North Carolina's far western corner, where the state runs out of pavement and into the national park. Carolina Smokies Association of REALTORS IDX puts mountain inventory on an agent's own website, in front of the Atlanta and Florida buyers who fuel this market from three hundred miles away.
The board in brief:
- Based in Franklin, North Carolina, deep in its own coverage area
- Known historically as the Franklin Board of REALTORS before taking the Carolina Smokies name
- Serves Macon, Jackson, and Swain counties
- Its MLS carries the towns between the Nantahala and the Smokies: Franklin, Sylva, Bryson City, and their neighbors
Mountain listings defy portal categories: gated coves, creek frontage, long-range views, gravel access. A local feed searchable on your own site is how those properties find their buyers.
Coverage area
Carolina Smokies Association of REALTORS serves agents and brokers across:
