Kimberly Tyson Hyatt

Having lived in large cities most of my life, I wanted to experience a mix of natural beauty and an enriched rural lifestyle, so I left a successful career in Advertising & Design and became a Real Estate Broker in Banner Elk. Changing careers takes a lot of thought, and I wanted to match my lifestyle priorities to my career interests, accomplishments & skill sets. Living in "air-conditioned" & beautiful surroundings with changing seasons, huge mountains and valleys were a top priority. Having an active lifestyle was important too: bicycling, hiking, barbecuing and even walking the dog. I then matched my creative, communications and "people" skills from advertising and television promotion to my lifestyle and aesthetic priorities. "Every day when I drive or walk around I say to myself -I can't believe I live here -it's just beautiful, and then add helping people find their dream, investment or retirement homes -well, life is GOOD!"
