George Real Estate Group Radio Broadcast

A steady market and a tougher kind of resilience share the mic today. We start with a clear-eyed look at Henderson County’s 2026 housing landscape—more inventory, firm demand, and the possibility of easing rates that could unlock moves for buyers and sellers who sat out the last cycle. Then we turn to the kind of move that isn’t about square footage at all: a neighbor firing up a truck at dawn to...

Start the year with a cleaner story about your work and your home. We open with two simple, powerful truths: purpose reframes the ordinary, and consistency compounds in silence. From the NASA janitor who said he was helping put a man on the moon to the stonecutter whose quiet strikes finally split the rock, we explore how meaning and patience turn small actions into big outcomes—at work, at home,...

When the river jumped its banks and the bridge disappeared, neighbors didn’t wait for permission—they built a way in. Our year-end Hometown Hero countdown brings together the most downloaded stories of service after Hurricane Helene and beyond, revealing how small acts stacked into a regional lifeline. From a Navy veteran who turned church donations into the Appalachian Navy’s propane lifeline, to...

A Christmas Day offer doesn’t happen every year, but it tells a bigger story: real estate moves when life moves. We unpack why Henderson County continues to post steady sales, tight inventory, and firm pricing, then share how to use timing, preparation, and smart strategy to create better outcomes whether you’re buying, selling, or investing. We start with clear numbers. Over the last 12 months, s...

Tired of headlines that tell you the sky is falling? We pull the curtain back on what’s truly moving today’s housing market and why homes keep selling even when national volume dips. From inventory constraints to rate relief, we share the real signals that matter, then translate them into practical plays for buyers, sellers, and investors who want results without the guesswork. We walk through the...

A stranger in distress. A teen who didn’t look away. When a driver in a school parking lot signaled she couldn’t breathe, North Henderson senior Dylan Kleinknecht trusted his instincts, performed the Heimlich, and saved a life—then quietly went on with his day. We unpack the moment step by step, explore why basic first aid matters, and talk about the humility that often defines real heroism. We al...

One week before Christmas, we open with community news and a remarkable Hometown Hero story, then get straight to the point: January can be a surprisingly strong month to buy a home. With fewer bidders in the market, sellers often more open to negotiation, and historically softer price-per-square-foot, the winter window can reward prepared buyers. We share practical ways to navigate slower months,...

A quiet myth floats around every December: real estate goes to sleep. Our latest conversation shows the opposite across Western North Carolina, where Henderson County and Buncombe County are posting meaningful gains in listings, pendings, and closed sales—even as days on market rise and inventory edges higher. We unpack what those numbers mean in real life, why patience and pricing precision matte...

A simple flight home turned into a mission. When Hurricane Helene tore through the Gorge and border towns, our guest, volunteer organizer Shauna Toller, landed to a flood of messages and a community in need. What started with off-road friends checking on one another became a lifeline: scouting safe routes, organizing supply runs, sleeping in a Jeep, and building a rhythm that kept first responders...

Ever looked at a market update and felt like the silver medalist—so close to the peak that everything now feels like a loss? We unpack why that reaction is normal, how counterfactual thinking warps your view, and what changes when you switch frames. Using a powerful bronze-vs-silver mindset shift, we translate psychology into practical real estate strategy so you can price, negotiate, and time you...

Ready for a contrarian take that actually works in your favor? We dig into the local housing data and show why listing in winter can be a strategic play: less competition, more motivated buyers, and a clearer path to the right offer. With sales up year over year, prices holding, and inventory still tight, your home can stand out now rather than get lost in the spring rush. We unpack the numbers be...

Some stories restore your faith in what a single person can spark. Meet Zoe Hewitt, a high school senior who turned a simple classroom idea into Kennel Kindness, a student-powered network that supports animal shelters with the exact supplies they need—blankets, toys, enrichment mats, and adoption kits—crafted on a shoestring and shipped where they’ll do the most good. One teacher’s Instagram post...

Headlines say housing is frozen. Our local data says otherwise. We break down what is actually happening in Henderson County and why more people are choosing to move even if it means giving up a three percent mortgage. We start with the numbers: single family home sales are up roughly 10 percent year over year, inventory sits around a four and a half month supply, and the average price has eased o...

The headlines say “wait,” but our local numbers point to a different truth: homes in Henderson County are still moving, prices are holding near recent highs, and buyers and sellers both have smart plays to make in December. We dig into fresh data—average monthly sales up from 122 to 134, a four and a half month supply that still favors sellers, and longer days on market that create space for thoug...

Hungry for a story that feels like home? We bring together apple-pie gratitude, a clear-eyed look at Henderson County’s housing market, and the voice of Virginia “Blackfeather” King Thompson, a Cherokee Appalachian storyteller whose words turn local history into living memory. From the naming of Little Hungry and Big Hungry to the spark that keeps kids spellbound, this conversation celebrates the...

Gratitude isn’t soft—it’s brave. On a Thanksgiving broadcast from Hendersonville, we mix tradition and heart: sharing how our team gives away hundreds of apple and pumpkin pies to clients, then zooming out to what gratitude really asks of us when life is uncertain. We also deliver a clear-eyed snapshot of the local real estate market: more homes sold year-over-year, slight price dips held in check...

Real change shows up where stress goes down and support shows up. We open with a grounded look at Henderson County’s steady real estate market—why a calmer pace gives buyers and sellers breathing room, how pre-inspections and strong pre-approvals prevent last-minute chaos, and what full-service guidance looks like when an agency handles more than forms. Then we pivot to a different kind of structu...

The market finally took a breath, and that pause is powerful. We break down what a steadier pace means for buyers and sellers in Henderson County and across Western North Carolina: balanced pricing, longer days on market, and room to make clear, confident decisions. Then we move from numbers to know-how, sharing why pre-listing inspections create transparency, reduce surprises, and often lead to s...

Headlines promise quick fixes, but real estate rewards clear thinking and good data. We open the door on Henderson County’s market with a grounded look at what’s actually moving: listings are up, days on market are longer, and prices are holding steady thanks to strong demand in the $350k–$600k range. That context matters when you hear big ideas like a 50-year mortgage. We run the numbers on payme...

What does it look like to turn heartbreak into a habit of help? We sit down with Barbara and Joey Brown, the couple behind Crosses for Hope, whose storm-side response grew from chainsaws and cedar into months of heavy equipment, rebuilt driveways, and hope restored in Bat Cave, North Carolina. Their story starts with a simple pattern they heard at every door—“I’m fine, can you check on my neighbor...

Hidden problems kill deals and drain savings long after closing, but they don’t have to. We sat down with Jim Rawlings of Quality Home Consultants to unpack the clearest path to safer purchases, smoother sales, and fewer 3 a.m. homeowner regrets—starting with inspections that actually inform decisions. We open with a quick market pulse for Henderson County: prices holding, days on market rising, a...

A ten-year milestone on WHKP sets the stage for a conversation that hits straight at the heart of service, community, and what it means to keep showing up when the cameras leave. We sit down with Hometown Hero Wes Hardin, a retired farmer and operator who woke up one September morning with a clear conviction: pack the trucks, load the gear, and go wherever help is needed. From East Tennessee to We...

The frenzy is gone—and that’s good news. We break down how Henderson County’s housing market has settled into a healthier balance where smart pricing, thoughtful timing, and real conversations lead to better outcomes for buyers and sellers. With median list prices around $525K, sold prices in the mid-$400s, and 70–100 days on market, there’s finally room to breathe, inspect, and negotiate with con...

Two economies are unfolding side by side—one buoyed by assets and equity, the other stretched by rates and rising costs—and real estate sits right in the middle. We walk through how that K-shaped reality shows up in Western North Carolina, from stable home sales and a five-month supply to a subtle softening in prices and a meaningful rise in cash transactions. Then we get practical: why roughly 15...

A hot meal handed off on the shoulder of a broken road can change the shape of a long day. We sit down with two neighbors from Batcave. Suzette Dupuis and Sherry Murphy turned Hurricane Helene’s devastation into a weekly lifeline, cooking and delivering trays of baked spaghetti, sandwiches, and soon chili to road crews, linemen, and families still digging out. Their story carries the weight of sev...
