Emmy Boucher Joins Golden Realty & Management as Realtor/ Broker Associate

Golden Realty & Management proudly welcomes Emmy Boucher to its expert team of brokers and Realtors®.

Emmy holds a degree in Computer Science, but discovered a passion for real estate in 2004. She truly enjoys meeting people and helping them navigate the ins and outs of buying and selling houses. Her generous and giving nature is extended to the community—she donates and shares 10% of her real estate earnings amongst several local charities, including a homeless shelter for teens.

Emmy spent her childhood as an Army brat, traveling the United States and Europe with her family. She had no firm ties to any location until they landed in Cary in 1985. “I knew this was the place I could call home,” she states. Since then, she has raised two children in Cary, and has grandchildren growing up in the town as well.

According to Mike Golden, owner of Golden Realty & Management, “Emmy’s personal background in real estate, combined with almost ten years of professional experience, will be a great resource for our clients. We’re especially excited to have a Cary specialist on our team.”

Raleigh 18th Best City in America

Bloomberg/Businessweek has just released its 2012 list of America's 50 best cities in which to live, and Raleigh comes in at number 18.

Points were scored for the number of leisure opportunities, quality and number of educational institutions, a positive work economy, low crime stats, and even a good breathing environment.

As the "City of Oaks," it's no surprise that Raleigh fits the last bill for good air. We also do pretty well in the other areas: We have hundreds of unique (non-chain) restaurants and bars, several world-class museums, the best public schools in America, and we're home to several major sports teams such as the Carolina Hurricanes. Furthermore, we're growing by leaps and bounds, thanks to consistent high rankings on "best of" lists. You can see all of Raleigh's recognitions on the City's website.
