Your Trusted Partner in Real Estate
INOVATIVE IDEAS FOR YOUR STYLE
Born and raised in Western North Carolina, I bring deep local roots and a diverse professional background to every real estate transaction. After beginning my career in my family’s HVAC business and spending 25 years as VP of Operations with NASCAR, I returned home to Avery County to pursue my passion for real estate. I’m licensed in both North Carolina and Tennessee.
With extensive experience in business operations, logistics, and law enforcement, I offer a strong work ethic, clear communication, and a client-first approach. Whether you’re searching for a mountain home, land to build on, or an investment property in Western NC or Eastern TN, I’m here to guide you through every step.
My support doesn’t end at closing—I’m committed to long-term client satisfaction and being your trusted resource well beyond the transaction.
I look forward to helping you find your place in the mountains.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
John Witherspoon
First class service from Chris and Erin. Being a bit away from the area, they have been a Huge help with my transactions, and I will continue to value their expertise and guidance.
Cindy Koon
We came in after a cross-country RV trip from Utah, where we had sold, and had been recommended a realtor from our Carolina lender. Something must have happened to him, but we quickly received a recommendation from the owner out at Plumtree Campground and Retreat. Chris Cornett became our realtor in literally a couple of hours and was ready to show us homes in the Linville/Newland/Banner Elk area the same day! He is just a miracle worker! Living out of an RV, we were eager to relocate as quickly as possible and having arrived here August 15 or so, we are already living in our new home, having closed earlier than scheduled. We couldn’t recommend a more helpful, knowledgeable, efficient realtor than Chris! And he happens to be a super nice, moral good guy who looks after your interest and works well with the other realtors and your lender/closing attorney. He is just fabulous! We are extremely grateful to have had Chris handle our move “home” to the High Country of NC.
Jamie & Coty
Chris with Elevate Land & Realty was so good to us!! As first-time home buyers, he was there for every question or concern. He went above and beyond, even meeting with us after a full day of work. Chris is a great guy and is now considered a great friend!
