This week's Monday Member Spotlight is Keller Williams Realty Elite - Blue Ridge!
Keller Williams Realty Elite – Blue Ridge first opened its doors in August 2019, founded by Dennis and Wanda Deal. Built on a foundation of strong relationships and a commitment to service, the firm has grown to over $150 million in sales.
Today, the team includes Dennis and Wanda Deal, Lesia and Mark Cockerham, Jim Halsey, and William Jones—each bringing valuable experience and a shared commitment to serving the High Country. Our local insight allows us not only to help clients find the right property, but also to help them truly feel at home.
In September 2025, Jay Woodruff stepped into the role of Owner and Broker, continuing that legacy here in Sparta. Deeply rooted in the High Country, Jay understands what makes this area special—from its natural beauty to its close-knit communities.
A lifelong part of the Alleghany County community, Jay has deep family roots in the High Country. After spending many years away building his career, he returned home to Sparta, where he lives and works today. That perspective—both local and shaped by experience beyond the area—allows him to guide clients with a broader understanding of what draws people here and what makes them stay.
Beyond real estate, Jay is also deeply committed to supporting families navigating one of life’s most challenging journeys. Through his coaching work, he provides guidance, education, and support for individuals and caregivers of those living with dementia. As a certified dementia consultant and coach, he helps families build practical skills and compassionate approaches to care—empowering them to move forward with greater confidence and connection.
The team at Keller Williams Realty Elite – Blue Ridge continues to build connections, foster relationships, and lead in the local market. Whether you’re looking to list, buy, or invest in Alleghany County or the surrounding High Country, we’re here to help with your next move.
