About Shy

Shy Fecteau has been a dedicated Realtor and proud resident of the High Country for almost 10 years. She has been with Appalachian Properties since January of 2017 and built an impressive book of business before the market picked up in 2019. In 2018 she was elected Secretary of the High Country MLS, and became the MLS President in 2021. Shy has extensive background dealing with both buyer and seller transactions of all types including residential, land, new construction and developer sales. Shy has recently focused her efforts on developer product and strategy such as in the premier communities of Chappell Farms and Blackberry Homestead. Her peers also hold Shy in the highest regard, voting her as Realtor of the Year, officially the youngest ROY the High Country Association has ever elected. Shy has served on many local committees, while volunteering her time across State and National platforms. Shy can speak to the ins and outs of rental investment properties, being an Airbnb Superhost herself. Shy also has personal experience with construction and is a great resource for her land and developer clients. In addition, Shy’s background in the arts provides a creative and personalized approach to each of her client’s individual needs, bringing new ideas and innovative marketing strategies to the table. While being fortunate enough to enjoy diverse and cultural travel, and being drawn to beautiful places worldwide, Shy still chooses to call the high elevation town of Banner Elk her home. She has two golden retrievers, a season pass to the ski mountains, and a partner of 12 years that is more than she could have ever hoped for. Her own backyard boasts hiking trails, long range views, hot tub, barrel sauna, and fairy gardens. She believes that her own living experience will ultimately transfer to her client’s success in finding the right investment that best fits their own lifestyle goals. Shy continues to be a top producer and is always a light to her clients, helping them along whatever journey they choose to embark on.
