The Lady of the Lake

The Lady of the Lake

Polly Leadbetter at Lake James Real Estate

The Lady of The Lake was a mysterious female credited with giving King Arthur the legendary sword Excalibur and the mystic scabbard which protected the wearer from dying. She was also credited with abducting Lancelot to her underwater dwelling to be her ward, training him to be the greatest of all knights.

No, Polly is not the actual Lady of the Lake from King Arthur days.  She is not the keeper of the sword, Excalibur and does not live under the lake in another realm (trust me, she avoids the deep end of a POOL!).  However, it could be argued that she shares some of the Lady's  powers, including an immunity to the effects of aging and conventional disease, but I attribute that to her hobby of running marathons. 

What I meant by the title was that if you're looking for a home or land on or around Lake James, Polly Leadbetter is the resident expert, THE Lady of the Lake.  Owner of Lake James Real Estate since 2003, she's built her business upon expert knowledge and customer service.  Whether showing a couple from Florida around the lake for the first time or assessing a waterfront home's potential selling price,  Polly is a fountain of knowledge.  Call it the power of "Mystic Guidance", if you will.

She and her husband, Steve Leadbetter, formed Lake James Real Estate in 2003.  There were only a few communities on Lake James and there was no real estate office anywhere around the lake. They built up the company, expanded by leaps and bounds during the "boom period" of 2004-2006 and have maintained steady stream of sales in the challenging  years since.  From 2005  to present, Lake James Real Estate has sold almost 35% of all homes and lots around Lake James.  No other Real Estate firm even comes close (the two closest firms tie for 2nd place at barely 15% each).

Whether a permit (dock or septic) or property taxes,  covenants or closing costs, she'll have the answer to your question.

If you are in the market for a home or land at Lake James, have confidence that all of the agents at Lake James Real Estate are backed by Polly's expertise!  She is The Lady of the Lake.
