WADESBORO — Building a business from nothing, Don Scarborough looks around after forty years and reflects that he could not be prouder of the hometown realty firm he created, Realtors at Plank Road Realty.
Choosing to reward 40 years of hard work, dedication and a still growing list of pleased clients in style, Scarborough celebrated with a neighborhood bash at the big white house his real estate company calls home at 209 E. Wade St.
“I started the business in 1984, and we are in seven counties now. The business started in Anson and will always stay in Anson,” Scarborough said.
Over the years, Scarborough has met a lot of people and knows that he has really been blessed to have been given the set of clients he has.
“I appreciate all my customers, buyers and sellers, I have worked with a lot of wonderful people,” Scarborough said.
An Anson County native, Scarborough named his real estate company after the old plank road system that kept communities connected during the mid-1800’s.A staunch believer in the golden rule when it comes to how he conducts business, Scarborough says no matter how many changes he sees come to his profession, he knows his way of doing business will never change for his customers because he will always adhere to his core principle of treating the customer as he would like to be treated.
“Everything comes from that.” Scarborough said.
Other members of the Plank Road Realty team include Russell Sikes, Johnny Cox, Caty Edwards and Jeremy Taylor.
