 “Yankee by birth – southern by the grace of God” - I first heard that saying shortly after moving south to Atlanta thirty-four years ago from New Jersey and it didn’t take long to appreciate it. Moving down reluctantly on the 2nd of January and then enduring three weeks of cold, rain and homesickness, I woke up the morning of the fourth week to beautiful sun and a straight week of 70 degree weather and thought – hmmm, maybe living in the south might not be so bad after all! I’ve loved living here since then and still appreciate the wonderful weather with so much green around you, even in the dead of winter. Finding myself a single mom 19 years ago, I decided to go into real estate to have more freedom to raise my sons, Matt and Josh, now 24 and 27. I had no idea I had found my calling and that it would blossom into such successful and rewarding career. It’s a great thing to be able to work with so many different people in one of the most important choices in their lives. I now have the added pleasure of watching my beautiful granddaughter, Haylee, grow up in such a wonderful city! Needless to say, I’ve watched Atlanta and the suburbs grow by leaps and bounds and it’s been an exciting journey. I’ve become an avid baseball fan with the start of the Atlanta Braves astounding climb in 1991 from last to first and continue to enjoy watching them beat the odds each year. I hope you’ll enjoy your move here and want to help you find fulfillment and joy in your next home!

First Time Buyers >The Perfect Home
When we help prospective buyers locate a new home we listen carefully to their goals. What are their criteria for selecting a neighborhood, what style of house do they prefer, what price range and floor plan meet their needs? Will any special considerations go into making the homebuying decision? When we have a good picture of what the buyer wants, we will go to work to find the best property on the market that will accommodate those needs.
Our real estate agents succeed when they can make the buyers' goals their goals. Finding the perfect home is a collaborative effort. The buyers communicate what they want, why they want it, and where compromise might be possible, and the agent listens carefully and selects the homes that come as close as possible to meeting the needs expressed. When there is trust and communication between the buyers and the real estate agent, miracles can happen! Creating these miracles for buyers and sellers is "Job #1" for us.
