A little about me

With small town charm, vast amounts of protected forest land, and a low cost of living, Bryson City beckoned Braden to these mountains. She was eager to learn kayaking and experience a work/life balance which sounded too good to be true! Between work demands, she spent days enjoying the river, a hiking or biking trail, or beautiful Fontana Lake. It didn’t take long for this soulful lifestyle to capture her heart and it has now held it for over 25 years. Real estate has awarded her the opportunity to share her good life with others and watch in delight, as they too, experience the magic of the mountains.  

Understanding real estate can often feel overwhelming and challenging and Braden is committed to lessening this worry by educating and guiding her clients. She has a keen eye for seeing the possible potential and drawbacks of raw land and the hidden issues (and gems!) in homes. She won't let your dream home be overlooked by a simple floor plan alteration or addition, but will be with you every step of the way to ensure a smooth and successful outcome. She's proud of this community, the homes & land we offer, and the integrity of Good Life Real Estate. She's found her good life-now let her help you find yours!
