Marketing.
It’s what people care about when selling a home: knowing the market, knowing the compelling features of their personal home and knowing how to talk about these features persuasively.

You see, marketing is in my DNA. I grew up with it. My father owned a well-respected marketing research and consulting firm in Atlanta and provided advise to companies like Exxon, Texas Instruments, Georgia Power, Ritz Carlton, and McKee Baking (makers of Little Debbie). I negotiated eating a lot of Nutty Buddy bars.

Voted Best Real Estate Agent in Athens Banner-Herald’s Reader Polls for 2015, 2016 & 2017 and as co-owner of both bob (SALON) and Republic Salon, I have more than twenty-five years of business experience in client services, quality assurance, and project management.

Calling all equestrians: unbelievable opportunity to own your dream horse farm in award winning and highly coveted North Oconee school district. This gorgeous 9.9 acre tract gently rolls down to a pond, where you can watch the sun rise on the other side. Three pastures with high end fencing, weatherproofed spigots, two outdoor wash stalls, and a professionally graded regulation sized arena with clay foundation, will make keeping the horses happy a breeze. The two main fenced pastures have a wide clearing between them, perfect for a new driveway to a potential home site overlooking the pond and near the bored well. The current driveway winds you carefully around the perimeter of the property to an adorable 1 bedroom, 1 bath cottage set near shade trees and facing the stocked pond and its gazebo, ideal for fishing. You could easily move right in while building your forever home or barndominium and later use the cottage as guest, office space, or an in-law suite. (For buyers with their own architectural plans, builders are able to fit you in this year!) There are also two sheds on the property—one is open for larger farm equipment and the other has electric and a roll door for use as a workshop or extra storage. Only a mile to North Oconee High School and Rocky Branch Elementary, three miles to Lane Creek Golf, and seven miles to both Epps Bridge Center and downtown Watkinsville, there is currently nothing on the market this unique.
