Your Mountain Home Specialist in the north Georgia mountains. Whether buying or selling, I know that the most important transaction is YOURS. I am committed to excellence, one transaction at a time. Let me help you find your “perfect spot”.

It is a necessity to find the right real estate agent. The state of Georgia has over 100,000 real estate agents. Out of those, only about 34,000 are Realtors. I am a professional Realtor® and I hold myself to a higher standard than simply a real estate agent. I am: “Committed to excellence, one transaction at a time.” I realize that the most important transaction is YOURS.

I am a proud member of the Ansley Mountain and Lake Office in Blue Ridge. I love the office and the people that make up the office. A terrific space for me in more ways than one! Check me out on the Ansley website to see how properties are marketed to qualified Buyers.

It is my goal to correctly price a property. We want the property to sell for the most amount of money in the least amount of time. That means doing competitive market analysis work for you before I meet with you. You need to know how your property stacks up among the others. I want your property to be the best it can be, so I will suggest areas that might help you increase your price point.

Once a price is agreed upon, then marketing begins. I have one of the best photographers in the business to shoot your property. I include virtual tour for every listing I market, no matter the price point. It is the first impression with the price that pulls the Buyer to a property. I am active on Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. I am a member of the Northeast Georgia Board of Realtors, the Georgia Multiple Listing Service, and The First Multiple Listing Service. use social media and email marketing to all Northeast GA Realty Board agents, and Atlanta agents, and other agents with whom I have working relationships. I also implement Facebook and Instagram to promote your property.

What I offer is a direct line of communication. If you call me, I WILL answer the phone and discuss your concerns and/or answer your questions. I am your negotiator and your voice. To be effective, we must talk to one another and be on the same page. You can be assured that I am constantly working on your behalf.
