"When we decided to make the move from Florida to North Georgia, we were referred to Thomas by our Compass realtor in Florida. From our very first communication, we knew we were in good hands. Thomas listened to our needs and wants and shared his depth of knowledge of the area to help us narrow in on where we should focus our search. We were months away from visiting the area, but he began right away sending us listings to educate us on what different communities had to offer within our parameters. We eventually met Thomas in Blue Ridge and toured homes he and his team had curated for us. In 3 days we found the house we knew would be our home. Thomas and his team - most notably his right hand person, Blythe - made the contract and closing process a breeze. Their professionalism, great communications, network of resources and overall kindness made our home purchase an amazing experience. Whatever our future real estate needs may be in North Georgia, Thomas will be our realtor of choice. -Malcolm & Vicki Barit"

"When we set out to buy a home in the Blue Ridge area during COVID, we knew we needed the perfect realtor. Not only was our travel impacted, but the market was moving so fast we had to have a realtor we could trust to identify and preview properties and who was also super-responsive and able to move fast. Laura could not have been more perfect. She helped us land the ideal home for us and also introduced us to many local people, contractors and businesses to help get us settled in. We would not be here in this amazing place without Laura’s efforts and connections. She is truly the best!"

"We came to Blue Ridge from outside of town and only had 1 day to look at homes. Laura did a great job lining up several listings for us to view that all met the requirements we were looking for. She then helped us put together a competitive offer and purchase our top choice from the homes we viewed. After inspections, we had several items we needed addressing and Laura was able to negotiate for sellers to meet all of our requests. Will definitely be using Laura in the future as well."

"Selling my property with Thomas as my realtor was painless! Thomas is a consummate professional, delightful person and wonderful to work with. What sets Thomas apart from other realtors that I have worked with is his ability to understand and respond to the needs of the client – through the process I always felt that Thomas kept me totally abreast of everything going on and in addition to selling my property, he was working in my best interests. I would recommend and have recommended Thomas to friends and family. -Lorraine Wilby"
