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!!!

AROUND Atlanta indeed!

People often ask me if I focus in a specific area of town, to which I always reply "Nope, I'll go anywhere!" and point out that my company is RE/MAX Around Atlanta.  The only thing I specialize in is making lasting relationships and helping people realize their real estate dreams! So while I have never consciously focused in one part of town, I was curious to see if there was any sort of pattern to my business. I decided to pull up a map of all my sales to get a quick visual, and as you can see, I truly do work AROUND Atlanta! 


My furthest sale didn't even make it onto this map - it is one I have under contract right now in Byron, GA (south of Macon)!  I don't normally travel that far, but this is a longtime friend of the family that wanted my help navigating her first home purchase and I was more than happy to oblige. As you can see, most of my sales are in the Metro area and on the northern side of town. 

Out of the 130 homes I have sold in the past 8 years, 75 of them have been ITP and 55 of them have been OTP, so a fairly even split.  They have ranged in price from under $10,000 (yes, you read that right - 2009 was a really rough year for housing values in Atlanta and a lot of my investors took advantage!) to over $1M, and have been every type from an authentic loft conversion in the heart of the city to a working horse farm out in the country. I truly will go anywhere for my clients, because my goal is always to find them their dream home, wherever it may be!

If you are thinking about buying or selling, contact me - I'm happy to come to you, wherever that may be!
