Bobbie McMAHAN

Born and raised in Tennessee. I love the views, the water, and all four seasons. I landed in this career almost by accident and found a love for it. At the end of 2017, I earned my NC RE license and immediately started the journey. Through the years, I have only grown in my desire to stay in the business—and not only stay but be rock solid with my only movement being growth. “Client first” will always be my mentality. If you are happy, I am happy. My strong points are communication, attention to detail, and being client-centered. I have worked in different facets of real estate, including the vacation rental industry, which was my gateway to becoming a Realtor. I recently decided to become dual licensed and this way I get to serve in the best of both worlds. I look forward to working with you TN.
