Getting Started in Real Estate
Paige’s real estate career began in 2006 when a neighbor recognized her potential and encouraged her to get her real estate license. She quickly obtained her license in North Carolina and later expanded her reach by becoming licensed in Georgia and Tennessee. But as we all know, life often throws unexpected challenges our way.
Overcoming Life’s Obstacles
In 2009, Paige faced one of the biggest hurdles in her life—her son developed a severe seizure disorder that required her full attention. As a single mother, she made the difficult decision to put her real estate career on hold to care for him. This break lasted for nearly a decade, but Paige always kept her license active, knowing she would eventually return to the business she loved.
Fast forward to 2019, Paige made her comeback to real estate, just in time to face another major challenge—the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the uncertainty in the market, she adapted and thrived, proving that resilience and dedication can pave the way to success in any situation.
Small-Town Charm, Big-Time Real Estate
One of the things that makes Paige’s real estate business unique is her deep knowledge of the local market. Living in Murphy, North Carolina—a town with just 1,700 people—means she knows the ins and outs of every property and community in her area.
Her expertise in helping buyers find vacation homes, investment properties, and dream residences in the region has made her a go-to agent. Her love for the outdoors—hiking the Appalachian Trail, kayaking, and supporting local animal shelters—gives her a special connection to clients who are drawn to the area for its natural beauty and slower pace of life.
Why Paige Chose eXp Realty
After years of working with RE/MAX and earning multiple platinum and hall of fame awards, Paige realized she had hit a ceiling. She wanted more opportunities for growth, so she took a leap and joined eXp Realty in January 2024. The collaborative culture, unmatched support, and innovative business model at eXp have empowered Paige to take her career to new heights.
