First, I'm a member of the Coldwell Banker High Country Realty team, the market leader in Fannin County and one of the top companies for listings and sales in the entire North Georgia Mountains area. Our brokers employ only full-time agents who are committed to excellence in customer service. Our collective experience and expertise is considerable, and our reputation for integrity is unquestioned. Simply put, we’re the most productive and most knowledgeable real estate team in the mountains, and we consult with each other daily to find the best properties for our customers.
I also have seventeen years of experience in the North Georgia mountains, first as a second-home owner based in Atlanta and later as a year-round resident. I go back further and have a greater depth of local knowledge than many agents working in our area, having seen many of the changes in our market firsthand. I understand what our buyers are looking for, and I provide the level of professionalism and customer service that they have a right to expect.
My philosophy is to show the customers what they want to see and let the property speak for itself. I’m not in the business of arm-twisting or hard selling. If people genuinely want mountain property, they will know it when they see it. I’m out in the field every day, showing cabins and previewing our inventory, and I have an insider’s knowledge of the local real estate market. Almost any property can be made to sound good on the Internet, and it usually takes a little experience in reading between the lines to separate the chaff from the wheat. I can usually save my clients quite a bit of time and trouble by showing them properties that really meet their criteria and really are a good value. Often times, I can suggest properties from personal knowledge which have special features or which represent a particularly good value.
Whether you choose me or another agent, I strongly recommend that you pick someone with real experience in the North Georgia mountains. Things are done a little differently here, and Atlanta agents simply don’t have the necessary on-the-ground expertise to properly advise buyers on issues like fair market value, septic systems, community wells, and road maintenance - important issues when choosing to invest in real estate in the Blue Ridge area.
