Three Great Tax Reasons to Retire and Live in North Carolina
“Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”
-Benjamin Franklin
Old Ben certain had it right, and it’s refreshing to know North Carolina’s new tax reform will help those who live and retire to North Carolina. There are three great benefits in the new tax code scheduled to take place in 2014. They are:
- Social Security income is exempt from state income tax.
- Income tax rates reduced to a flat rate of 5.8% in 2014 and 5.75% in 2015. The old code called for a rate as high as 7.75%
- Estate Tax is now abolished and is even retroactive to January 1, 2013. Not shabby at all!
It’s wonderful to live in the Smoky Mountains – it’s such a gorgeous area of the United States! Now, not only do you have beauty to look forward to, you have some great tax incentives too.
Thanks Forbes for information on the updated tax code.

Murphy NC Real Estate Closings – NC is an Attorney State, Sorry Title Companies!
Real estate closings are always a lot of fun and an exciting time in Murphy NC! It means a buyer, and a seller, have come together to meet a common goal. Part of the closing is have the title work done on the property’s title to ensure it is free of liens, encumbrances, and other issues that could negatively affect the new owner. In North Carolina, that’s where attorneys, not title companies, come in.
With so many folks buying land and homes here in Murphy NC that aren’t from here, they aren’t used to this. Many other states in the US operate their closings with a title company and no independent attorney is involved. However in North Carolina, this is not the case. North Carolina has a law that all real estate closings must take place with a North Carolina licensed attorney.
Cost
Many folks hear they have to use an attorney and automatically assume that means a huge bill at closing. That’s not the case! Because using an attorney is the norm in NC, attorneys are reasonably priced because they all ultimately compete for the business. That makes it extremely affordable, and in my opinion, better. You have a trained eye with years of experience and even more years of education on your side to make certain the seller conveys clear title and the buyer receives it. Not only that, from folks I have spoken with who use title insurance companies for closings, the cost is almost identical.
Title Companies are STILL Involved
Even though North Carolina is an attorney state, the title company plays a pivotal role in the closing. The attorney submits the title work to the title company so the property can receive title insurance. The title company then AGAIN reviews the title to make sure there are no major issues that jump out at them and then issue the title insurance policy protecting the buyer’s interests in the property.

From Murphy to Manteo in North Carolina
Ever heard the phrase from Murphy to Manteo? We hear it quite a bit! North Carolina is a BIG state and its a phrase that represents the sheer size – the westernmost and easternmost town in the state of NC.
It’s amazing to me! There are so many people that ride their bicycle, walk, and run the 545 mile trip from Murphy to Manteo. Every year, there are organizations and fundraisers that have races from one end to the other to raise funds for a cause. That’s dedication! I was reading several folks that did it in 7-9 days – that’s quick! Now to make the drive, it takes a solid 9 hours to complete the drive – and you never leave the state!
North Carolina is a gorgeous state and if you love the mountains of North Carolina, Murphy is the place for you to call home. In my very biased opinion, there’s no prettier or better place to live in the entire world than Murphy 🙂 So while you’re here in the mountains, be sure to check out the area and buy some real estate! We’re always looking for good neighbors!

Murphy’s Best Kept Secret – Lake Hiwassee
Whether you live in an area, are moving to an area, vacationing, or are planning to buy a vacation home somewhere, an important question to ask is, “What is there to do?” While we have many great resources and places to go here in Murphy, North Carolina, there’s one major asset that deserves attention – especially this time of year.
Lake Hiwassee. Yes, many areas of the entire United States have lakes, and beautiful ones at that. So why would Hiwassee be any different or better than another? Why should it influence a decision to move to Murphy or spend your days here in Western North Carolina?
Fisherman, skiers, boaters, swimmers, and all those who spend time on the water – have you ever been on a lake where the boats are so thick in the water you can’t get a truly relaxing moment? What about a place where the water is so choppy it beats you to death when you’re moving or skiing? What about a lake with so many homes and people along the shoreline that you can’t “get away?” That describes many of the lakes in the United States. They’re incredibly commercialized to the point you can’t enjoy the water in the way you hoped and intended.
That’s what makes Lake Hiwassee different. It’s surrounded by US Forest Service on 93% of Lake Frontage, so you can enjoy the lake as God and nature intended it. When you consider the lake itself, it is roughly 6,280 acres – that’s a lot of natural lake! To top this off, the fact the mountains of Western North Carolina surround the shoreline of Hiwassee and act as a barrier to holding back winds. This creates glasslike water and the perfect environment for water skiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding – you name it. Smooth water is sought after and found regularly on Hiwassee.
For fishermen, Hiwassee provides many great opportunities. Swimming within the waters, you’ll find Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Pike, Brim, Bluegills, and many more varieties of fish. With so many coves branching off the main channel, you’ll find lots of great fishing spots to spend your day with friends, family, or just a peaceful evening to yourself.
Four marinas bless the banks of Lake Hiwassee. If you would like to rent a boat or if you need gas and/or supplies, you’ll find them there. Duke’s Hideaway Marina, Shook’s Marina, Mountain View Marina, and Harbor Cove Marina are the four you’ll find. They’re all excellent places to start your day on the lake and you should certainly get going while the water is high and the temperature is perfect!
