Congratulations, Mountain HomeMiinders of Franklin, NC, on your second-year accreditation!
Loretta and Larry Newton
Mountain HomeMinders of Franklin, North Carolina, has earned accreditation for their Home Watch services from the NHWA for the second year.
Owner Loretta Newton has a rich history in home management. In 1997, she founded Florida Estate Management Services, a full-service home management firm in Palm Beach County, Florida. Alongside her husband, Larry, they catered to seasonal homeowners with specialized Home Watch programs and á la carte services and offered comprehensive, pre-scheduled maintenance for more exclusive clients in Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. This endeavor was a labor of love characterized by hard work and dedication.
After a decade of success, Loretta and Larry decided to transition to their forever home in Franklin, North Carolina. They purchased 40 acres west of Franklin, where Larry created the beautiful community of Santeetlah Ridge, an enclave of 20 homesites. Having recently passed his general contractor exam, Larry took a hands-on approach to the development. He became a certified erosion control grading and land-clearing contractor in Macon County, constructing a 3/4-mile road, installing underground power, phone, and water lines, and overseeing the installation of two community wells. Today, Santeetlah Ridge boasts several beautiful homes and a close-knit community of families.
Loretta and Larry are excited to offer Home Watch services once again with Mountain HomeMinders, working together as a couple to serve their community. Loretta’s love for the mountains has always been a guiding force in her life. Growing up in South Carolina, while her friends headed to the beach, Loretta preferred the mountains of western North Carolina. Her idea of heaven includes hiking, canoeing, rafting, fishing, or simply strolling under the lush canopy of the Appalachian Mountains.
Since 2020, Mountain HomeMinders has served Franklin, Highlands, Cashiers, Lake Glenville, and Lake Nantahala. You can reach them at (828) 421-4744 or MountainHomeMinders@gmail.com. Learn more from their website, https://mountainhomeminders.com.
Congratulations, Loretta and Larry!
As always, I wish you
Much success,
Jack Luber Executive Director
