Welcome!

I am an Atlanta native and made the decision in 2007 to leave my job as an architect/urban planner to get my real estate license. This was a difficult decision but has been great since my very first day in my new career and I am really enjoying it! It is so rewarding helping people find that perfect home, and it allows me to continue to satiate my love of good architecture and great neighborhoods!

I attended Georgia Tech (GO JACKETS!!!!) which is where I met my husband. For almost a decade we lived in one of Atlanta's fabulous in-town neighborhoods in a great 1920's Craftsman bungalow with our two dogs and two cats. Following the birth of our first child, we bought a foreclosure in the west Buckhead area and fully renovated it using an FHA 203k loan, which was a fun and sometimes daunting process. And just prior to the birth of our second child, we purchased and renovated a home in downtown Historic Roswell, completing our personal tour of some of Atlanta's best neighborhoods to live in!

I decided to create this blog in order to share useful information and resources about the real estate market and home buying process, as well as hopefully bring some humor and levity to what is often a complex and intimidating process. Enjoy!!!

Game of Thrones is back! (certainly that deserves a blog post)

Game of Thrones is my all-time favorite series of books (PLEASE finish the books, George!) and HBO has done an amazing job bringing them to life. In honor of the newest season kicking off tonight, I offer you this amazing article!

Game of Thrones returns on Sunday, and we’re sure you watch it for the same reason we do. No, not the shockingly colorful violence. No, not the inescapable nudity and salacious sex scenes. Yes, like us, you love it because it’s all about real estate. After all, isn’t the whole show just one big bidding war for the castle by the sea in King’s Landing? Can’t have closing costs if everyone’s dead, amirite?
Who knows? Maybe Arya Stark is actually headed to Braavos to get her broker’s license. Maybe the White Walkers just want a sunken living room and gourmet kitchen like the rest of us. Guess we’ll have to watch all of Season 5 to find out.
In the meantime, here are some Westeros-style castles (in America!) fit for any Lannister, Stark, Bolton, Greyjoy, Targaryen … good lord, this gets confusing. And for those days when you want to give the dragons a break, we’ve included the Walk Score—the White Walk Score, that is. (Click here to view the Castles)
