Before getting into the real estate business I was fortunate enough to have many interesting and challenging positions beginning with custom jewelry. Being a lapidary allowed me to create my own custom pieces and inspired me to be creative. I did consignment with jewelry as well handling 5 million dollars worth of diamonds at one time with only my word as a contract. After a successful adventure with jewelry and still keeping it as a full time hobby I broadened my scope of employment by attaining my credentials to become the Coordinator of the Sports Massage Team for the Central Florida Chapter as well as chairing the National Senior Olympics while working at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida. During my quest for adventuresome employment I have driven limo’s for celebrities, and in 1995 and 1996 I was ranked 4th and 5th in the nation for sales at a Dodge Dealership in Orlando, an accomplishment that I am very proud of and one that does not come easily. In 2003 I received Employee of the Year in a 230 plus employee dealership, and every year had the Highest Customer Satisfaction in every dealership I was associated with for over 20 years.

I truly enjoyed all the experiences I have had and helping people whether it is with jewelry, massage, new vehicles; customer satisfaction is what I am about and what I believe in.
Deciding it was time to make an attempt to fulfill my dreams of having a home in the mountains, I left the fast pace of Florida behind. Relocating to Murphy, NC. After being fortunate enough to make my dream come true I could not wait to find a way to help others with the same dream and therefore decided to go into real estate.
When I am not working with clients I enjoy fishing, organic gardening, gold panning and rock hounding. These hobbies are all well suited to the area.
I specialize in land sales and relocation. I will always go above and beyond to help you achieve the home of your dreams.

To whom it may concern,

This letter is being written on this the 1st day of July 2009. It is meant to express my knowledge of Jack Shingler. I first met Jack by chance when I walked into Exit realty in Murphy, N.C. with questions about listing a piece of property I had for sale. Jack just happened to the one in the office who greeted me that day, lucky me. I found Jack to be very friendly and professional. He showed me what Exit offered as services, if I should chose to list my property with them. He was very up front with everything listing with Exit would entail. I felt very well informed as to what they would offer, the fees etc. should I choose to list with exit.

I did choose to list with Exit and Jack became my realtor. Jack always kept me up to date on any activity there may be on my property. If he showed it to anyone he would let me know and then inform me of the reason they liked it or why it may not be what the customer was looking for. Jack also sent me regular information as to where my property was being advertised. I never had to wonder what if anything was going on.

Jack takes a very personal interest in any of his clients. He is not afraid to work above and beyond to meet their needs. I remember the first time I realized how great a person he was when we purchased furniture and part of our order did not arrive. Now that was a problem as we live in Florida. I never asked Jack if he could help, nor would I have even thought to ask. He volunteered. He said he would be glad to be at the house when the furniture arrived and see it was put into place in the home. He said when we had him as our listing agent helping in any way he could was part of his service. Jack quickly became more than a listing agent, he became a friend. Since then there have been MANY more instances when he has volunteered his services, as a friend would. A few examples are as follows, checking on the electric when our bill went sky high, turning on the water and power when people were coming in from out of town to stay in the house, offering Exits cleaning woman when I was in search of someone to clean my home, even going to the property and taking pictures to e-mail me so I could see how the property looked during different seasons. The list goes on and on. Oh and least I forget, Jack and his wife bringing over a bottle of his homemade wine, to sitting on our porch and share with us. Now how is that for a listing agent? No, as you can see Jack is much more than just a listing agent, he is a friend. Jack is this way to all of the people who are lucky enough to have him list their property, or buy a piece of property from him. I have been speaking to him many times say he was doing something for his out of town friends, even mowing their yards when needed. I am in N.C. in the summer alone a lot and I have no doubt if I needed anything Jack would be there to help. All in all Jack is a great realtor and has become a wonderful friend. Anyone who lists with him or purchases from him will be getting top notch service and a friend for life. Thanks Jack, as I have said many times, YOU ARE THE BEST. And now that he is at Coldwell Banker High Country Realty, I ask that you go and see him at Coldwell Banker High Country Realty.

P.S. Jack just sold my son 3 ½ plus acres in N.C.

Sandra Roberts ( Very satisfied customer and friend)

Apalachia Lake

North Carolina

Construction of the Apalachia Dam began July 17, 1941 and closure took place on February 14, 1943. The length of the Dam is 1308 feet.

TVA's 1100-acre Apalachia Lake is located entirely within Cherokee County, North Carolina,west of Murphy.

The Lake is 9.8 miles long, and has 31 miles of shoreline, and collects rainfall from a 1010 square-mile watershed.

Because the lake was not designed for flood control, TVA maintains the water level in the lake between the elevation range of 1272 and 1280 feet, except durind special operations for activities such as dam maintenance.

A pipeline and tunnel system carries water from the lake 8.3 miles to the power house downriver to generate electricity.


Although TVA normally ertains land and landrights around its lakes,TVA transferred 2500 acres of land around Apalachia Lake to the Forest Service as a conribtion to the Nantahala National Forest.

The Forest Service manages all the land around this lake,with the exception of the TVA Apalachia Dam Resevation.

There is no private shoreline development around Lake Apalachia.

Recreation

TVA maintains the Apalachia Dam Reservation.

The U.S. Forest Service maintains facilities as part of the national forest and primitive camping is allowed in the forest unless otherwise posted. For information on these facilities, call (              828-837-5152         828-837-5152),or write Nantahala National Forest,201 Woodland Dr. Murphy, North Carolina,28906.

There are no commercial recreation facilities on the lake.

Apalachia Lake is a small,deep,cool-water lake in a Mountainous setting.It receives littie fishing pressure because of its isolated nature. Sport fish include Smallmounth bass,Spotted bass, Largemounth bass, redbreast sunfish and white bass.www.mountainwineandhomes.com  Murphy North Carolina Your Mountain View Specialist, Jack Shingler Broker, Coldwell Banker High Country Realty               866-835-8500         866-835-8500 or               321-279-1049         321-279-1049 Jack Shingler.
