Silver Creek Real Estate Group Broker Ray Trine knows a thing or two about the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. For over 40 years, he has been shaping the future of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, representing many of the area's defining club communities, including Trillium, Summerhill, and Bridge Creek. More importantly, he's helped hundreds of families find their mountain home.

To anyone he meets, Ray is the quintessential "guide to the Plateau," offering personal experience, fascinating local narratives, and endless knowledge of the mountain lifestyle. Not only that, but his enthusiasm for this special place is nothing short of infectious.

Ray's journey began in Florida, where he graduated from the University of North Florida in 1971 and rose to CFO of American Federal Savings and Loan. "I was a great accountant, but I didn't like sitting inside," he recalls. Seeking a quieter life for his family, he moved to the Plateau in 1981. He purchased a farm in Glenville that became home to seven daughters and an ever-growing collection of farm animals. Ray obtained his North Carolina license and joined V.C. Smith Real Estate in 1982. Two years later, he bought the firm and made it the number one real estate company in Cashiers.

After retiring in 2006, Ray missed the work. When he returned in 2011, he chose Silver Creek for its cutting-edge marketing and because Annetta Mull, his trusted office manager of 20 years, had joined their team. Now, Ray's business runs almost entirely on referrals. "We have never worked with a more superior agent," shared clients Martha and Michael Novak. "Ray really listened to our needs and found us a dream home."

Beyond real estate, Ray helped start the first Chamber of Commerce and helped found Friends of Lake Glenville. He still lives on his Glenville farm, where his 14 grandchildren now experience the same farm life their mothers enjoyed.
