What clients are saying
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:

When we began to look to buy a home in the Cashiers area, a friend suggested we talk to Jochen. What an awesome suggestion! We have bought and sold many homes over the years and never had such a great experience. His market knowledge and contacts to make our desired changes to the house were second only to his how well he listened to what we were looking for. He is honest, patient and professional and we could not recommend him more highly.
Robert and Carol Hill

We were somewhat apprehensive about changing the listing of our home to a different Realtor but after considerable time with a competitor we decided to give Silver Creek a try. From the outset Jochen and his team acted in a very professional manner putting together a first class presentation. One aspect we really appreciated was the feedback after a showing. We could always count on a call letting us know we could return home and how the showing went. Bottom line is they brought us a buyer in a relatively short period of time and the sale was completed to our satisfaction.
Ray and Mitzie Ward

We were very happy with the way in which Jochen responded so quickly to marketing our home, Reflections. He brought a professional photographer who took wonderful pictures and he also used a drone to photograph our 42 acre property. He did a great job of placing beautiful ads in publications relating to our horse farm. He was incredibly prompt to respond to any of our questions and made sure the property was ready to show when he had a client. We recommend Jochen and Silver Creek Real Estate Group whole heartedly.
Darwin and Linda James

After our house had been on the market for a while, we asked Jochen to list it for us. He obviously got everything right because it sold almost immediately! We were very happy but also a little apprehensive. Where were we to go? Within a few months, but more than a few houses later, he showed us a house that was perfect for us. We made an offer that day and purchased the home. We hope to be there for a long time! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Silver Creek and with Jochen!
Sue Ann and Mike Glenn

Working with Jochen was a pleasure.We were frustrated with another company and switched to Jochen who guided us with his experience to eventually sell our house. He is a true professional.
Jim and Sandy Lee

Jochen is a total professional. From listing our home in November to our closing date was a quick five months. We attribute the ease and pleasure of this process to Jochen's attention to detail and incredibly excellent communication skills. Any issues that arose were handled with confidence on Jochen's part and with little or no action necessary from us. Advertising of the property was perfect. We highly recommend Jochen and the Silver Creek Real Estate Group.
Debbie and Steve Buskirk

We have been visiting, and renting in the Sapphire Valley, Cashiers, Highlands area for years. We worked with numerous realtors but when we decided to purchase, Jochen and his organization found us the perfect property for the price we were prepared to pay. Five years later we decided to sell. Expecting the process to take a year or more, Jochen sold our property in 30 days! His knowledge of the area, the market, and of all services available, proved to be invaluable. He’s the best! We highly recommend him and his team at Silver Creek Real Estate Group.
Marc and Myriam Ashton

Truly successful business leaders know how to listen to the needs and wants of their customer, and then execute in a timely manner. Jochen is that kind of leader. His knowledge and understanding of the western NC real estate market is second to none. He led us through the purchase of a home that we have thoroughly enjoyed!
Steve Bryant

Jochen and the entire Silver Creek Team are exceptional. Jochen spent time getting to know our family and understanding the type of property we wanted. His advice was superb, and I could see he always acted in our best interest. We have purchased two properties, sold one, and rented one with Jochen and his team. Every transaction has exceeded our expectations!!
Rich Penkoski

It is a pleasure for my wife and me to give the highest recommendation to Silver Creek Real Estate Group and Jochen. Jochen is the consummate professional. When we decided to sell our mountain home we met with Jochen to discuss the myriad of details such as price, needed repairs etc. Jochen made the process easy. Jochen knows the real estate business "in the valley". The sale was surprisingly quick. We whole heartedly recommend Jochen and The Silver Creek Real Estate Group.
