Satina,
Clay County NC is a great area to buy property-especially now. Having a realtor makes things much easier for you in the long run. In Clay County, the property you are interested in purchasing may need to be surveyed and/or tested for proper soil to accomodate a septic or well-among other things. A good realtor will know the correct procedures for this and can arrange for this quickly. It could take more time and money if you are not familiar with the correct procedures for land, property, or homes/buildings, etc...
Mike Faggard (my husband) at RE/MAX Oak Forest Realty in Hayesville can be of great assistance to you. He can even help with development, if that is in any plans. Visiting his website can give you more insight.
Hope this helps you.
