Robin is a Carolina girl, born and raised in the South. She attended USC where she was a cheerleader and majored in Broadcast Journalism. She hosted radio and television shows in Orangeburg, S.C., Columbia, S.C, Pittsburgh, Pa, Hartford, Ct. and Charlotte, N.C. for 27 years. She changed her life's plan in 2004 and headed back to school to learn to do what she loves...Real Estate. Her professional communication skills are now used to interview her clients and learn what they truly want, then guide them through the process of obtaining it. She still has the passion and enthusiasm from her cheerleading days, but now she cheers for her clients. When they’re up, she’s up, when they’re down, she lifts them up, when they’re tired, she carries them across the finish line to the closing table. She loves houses! She bought her first piece of land and built her first house at the age of 21. She loves Historic homes, too, and specializes in them as well as resales. She adores the land. Robin learned the value of the dirt from her father, Dick King, with our 248 acre farm he loved so much. He taught her that your home is your most cherished treasure. He built ours with his own hands and fenced in the entire 248 acre farm with a post hole digger, she still has that digger. We lost the cattle farm we loved so much when the cattle market crashed. She can still feel the sting of that disappointment. It gives her empathy for those who have to sell their properties when they don’t want to, in circumstances they cannot control. It also taught her compassion for those less fortunate. She has a passion for supporting the charitable organizations in her communities. She is on the board of directors for The Haven Men’s Shelter in Rock Hill, SC and Robin King & Co. supports numerous charities including Habitat for Humanity, Lake Wylie Children’s Charity, Rideability, The Special Olympics and more. We Offer fee marketing and advertising support for local fundraising events. If you have one coming up, let her know and we will promote it for you! She has represented buyers and sellers in the Charlotte market, including Mecklenburg, York, Lancaster, Chester, Gastonia, Union, and Cherokee Counties for 16 years and is excited to announce the opening of the newest Robin King & Co. location in Boone/Blowing Rock NC! She fell in love with the NC mountains when her son attended Appalachian State University. Robin purchased a home in Banner Elk in 2015 to be close to her son, his wife and her adorable grandson who calls her ’Birdie’. Some say it’s because of the ’bird’s nest’ of hair she usually has on the top of her head! She is beyond excited to expand our services to the High Country, including Blowing Rock, Boone, Banner Elk, and surrounding areas. She loves what she does, listening to people's stories, finding where they want to be in their lives, helping them sell their homes and buy the homes and land of their dreams. Each person she works with is a gift to her. She loves seeing the smiles on their faces when they walk into their first home, the joy of watching their families grow and move up to bigger homes, the relief of those downsizing in their later years, the delight of stomping through the hardwoods on a snowy day, watching children run through the fields of Carolina wildflowers on their new piece of land, picking the perfect house site, picking the perfect builder, having them tell her their stories. She, along with her partner, Ashley Spurrier, want to hear YOUR story so we can help you write the next chapter!
