To support its growth in size and sales volume and further enhance its client experience, Silver Creek Real Estate Group, a leading real estate company on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, has added two new team members: Broker Katie Adams Nicholson and Client Experience Manager Kara Addy.

  Since 2008, Nicholson has worked as a development and real estate professional in the Cashiers area, most recently for the Chinquapin community where she was a top-selling agent focusing on land and new home build packages. Raised in Dublin, Ga., Nicholson spent seven years in Atlanta working in retail and commercial real estate acquisitions before relocating to the Plateau where she met her husband, Jeremiah. 

  With a passion for the outdoor mountain lifestyle, Nicholson attributes her success to working closely with her clients throughout the entire real estate process, from learning about the area to finding their ultimate home to completing its purchase or construction. 

  When not working, Nicholson spends her time hiking with friends and her dog, Bella. 

  “We carefully consider who to bring on to our exceptional sales team,” said Silver Creek Real Estate Group President Jochen Lucke. “Katie’s track record of real estate sales and development success, coupled with the consistent high praise she receives from satisfied clients, makes her an ideal fit for our team. Using our powerful marketing platform, she will be able to take her professional relationships to the next level and build new ones.” 

  A native of Atlanta, Kara Addy and her family moved to Jackson County from Columbia, South Carolina., in 2018. She brings to Silver Creek an accomplished professional background in public relations and marketing communications, serving the corporate, nonprofit and education sectors. 

  A Florida State University alumna, Addy serves on the Cultural Enrichment Committee of Vision Cashiers and is a charter board member for Calliope Stage Company, a new professional theater group based in Jackson County. 

  In her free time, Addy enjoys hiking, paddling her kayak and enjoying the Tuckaseegee River with her husband, Mike, and their two teenage children. 

  “As our team has increased in size and sales volume over the past few years, our focus has been steadfast on providing the best service to our clients and brokers,” said Lucke. “Kara’s senior-level background supporting sales organizations and major philanthropic donors will translate seamlessly to Silver Creek, where she will help create and ensure an exceptional experience for our clients. She will also contribute to our entire platform, including NC Living Magazine and ncliving.com, from content writing to brand awareness to programming and planning special events.”

  Silver Creek Real Estate Group specializes in real estate in Cashiers, Highlands, Sapphire Valley, Lake Glenville, Lake Toxaway and Bear Lake, North Carolina., as well as larger properties in the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains.
