What Our Clients Have To Say . . .
For years, Jamey and I have been talking about a second home in the mountains, but never found an area we absolutely loved until we stayed in your cabin near Blue Ridge in January. It just felt right… one week later we were looking at property. Of all the MLS listings that you provided us with, you knew exactly which property we would fall in love with. The cabin was perfect for us… we couldn’t wait to get back to your office and make an offer. In three short weeks we were closing. Preparing for a closing is always a stressful thing, but you did everything you could to make it as painless as possible (even trudging through the snow for the final walk-through when nobody else could make it up the mountain). It’s like a mini-vacation every week. There are so many things we love about it, the proximity to Blue Ridge, Ellijay, Lake Blue Ridge and the Toccoa River… and the convenient location near Atlanta (only 1.5.. hours). Thanks for helping us realize our dream.” - Robert Grayson and Jamey Laughery
“Scott and Mark were awesome to work with from our initial email inquiry through the sale of our cabin. We were nervous about selling our cabin since we lived in Florida and had to handle everything remotely. Scott and Mark were professional, pleasant, thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and very responsive. We have bought and sold several properties but never had such a great experience as this sale. We would highly recommend Scott and mark whether you are buying or selling. They always have your best interest in mind. Thanks for everything!” – Alex and Lydia Runnels – Florida
“We want to thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into making our dream cabin become a reality for us. Our first meeting felt like a fun outing with friends even though we had just met the two of you. You both did a great job with keeping us informed and were totally forthcoming in all aspects of the buying process. We are so glad not only to have found the best real estate team in town, but also to have made great new friends. I’m sure we’ll do business with you guys again in the future and would recommend you to all of our family and friends.” - Jason and Kari Smith
“Scott and Mark were both a pleasure to work with. We wanted a retreat in North Georgia and they patiently worked with us for several months as we got a better understanding of the area and what we really wanted and needed. They were incredibly gracious and never put pressure on us. They went far beyond a normal real estate team in helping us get situated in our new home and community. Most importantly, Scott and Mark became true friends during the process and we have grown to truly appreciate their professionalism and their friendship. They are a great team! - Steve McDaniel and David Purcell
“Scott and Mark were both assets in our search for a second home in the Blue Ridge area. Living and working in Atlanta made it difficult to view properties but Scott and Mark were always there to email information to us, and when we did make it to the mountains to view properties they provided excellent input during the drive. We could not have done it without their help and we will highly recommend anyone searching for a home in the area to use Scott and Mark!” - Brad Galland – Atlanta, GA
“My wife and I made the initial contact with Scott via email about 8 months before we bought. Looking and buying from a long way away could not have been easier because of Scott’s help. We looked at lots and asked for more. He was super efficient and professional. We made several trips to the area and took up a lot of his time. Once we decided to purchase he became the “answer man.” We asked about lots of minutia and he always came back with an answer. I have purchased a lot of real estate over the years but have never worked with a more competent Realtor. You will not be disappointed working with Scott. Thanks for everything Scott.” - Bob Galland – St. Simons Island, GA
“Thanks to Scott and Mark we found the perfect mountain retreat. They found a house that had all the features we wanted and then some. The area is perfect for our family with many activities to keep the kids busy, but also a quiet retreat for us. Buying a house when you are not in the area can be stressful, but Scott and Mark made it simple and stress free. Thanks again for your help and we will say a toast to you as we float down the river!” - Chrissy and Brian Walther – Alpharetta, GA
“You both were quite helpful in discovering facts about the area as well as the homes we were viewing. Making a decision was much easier with the wealth of information provided.” – Tom and Laura Wix – Alpharetta, GA
“Working with Scott on the purchase of a second home was the easiest home purchase I have ever made. I felt that Scott had my best interest at heart, rather than just trying to make a sale. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted in a second home other than mountains and water. Scott showed many, many properties helping me to narrow down more specifically what I wanted. Then over the next year, he would email me periodically, without being pushy, to let me know when something new came on the market that might be of interest to me. Once I decided on the perfect place, Scott stayed on top of everything the entire way through so there were no surprises and last minute scrambling to get things done. His patience in handling may many, many phone calls and requests was incredible. Even after the sale, Scott has continued to check in and make sure we are happy with our purchase. It was a pleasure working with someone whose honesty, integrity, and commitment made such a complicated process easy and fun.” - Anna and Louis Bousarkis – Atlanta, GA
“My experience working with Scott and Mark was so very positive! As we worked together it became very obvious that they had listened to me and knew what I was hoping to find in Blue Ridge real estate. Their professionalism was exhibited from the first day we met until we closed on my mountain retreat.” - Chris Lamphere – Milledgeville, GA
“We must tell you what a great job Scott and Mark did for us. They stayed with us patiently to help us find exactly what we were looking for in a vacation home. We came to trust them during a long distance purchase. They put us in touch with other local professionals that we can to count on as well. Each time their response to us was timely, professional and filled with good advice. Over several months of work we began to realize that they were our friends. We could not have been more pleased.”
- Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Tucker – Little Rock, AR
“Scott and Mark made a tremendous multi-faceted effort to market and sell our home. We had an aggressive timetable in which we wanted to sell, and through their activities we were presented with two interested and qualified buyers within three months. We are very pleased with the outcome and would certainly recommend Scott and Mark as Realtors. They exhibit a commitment to customer service and they follow through with a high energy level.” - John and Lori Ehrlich – Atlanta, GA
“Speaking from a fellow Realtor’s point of view, I could not have asked for a more competent team to help my husband and I find a home of our dreams! Each time we met with Scott and Mark we knew we could relax because we were confident that they had done their homework! Knowing the market and being prepared to show clients what they came to see is the key and so the end result for us was a home that we never could have found on our own. Now, every time we come to our mountain river getaway we thank God for the blessings of his beautiful creation. We couldn’t have done it without you Scott and Mark… many thanks and warm wishes for your continued success!” - Jim and Susan Cone – Gainesville, GA
“I have purchased and developed several North Georgia mountain properties during the last several years and my recent purchase through Scott and Mark could not have gone smoother. Scott and Mark proved to be in tune with my needs and always one step ahead in coming up with potential properties to show and they were always observant of all the positives and negatives given to particular piece of property. Appointments and schedules were always on time and well structured for maximum time usage. I have used Scott as a resource and sounding board on many occasions and he is highly knowledgeable of the do’s and don’ts when it comes to buying mountain property. Thanks Scott and Mark, I will be using your services again in the near future. You know what I’m interested in so keep an eye out for another special property.” - George Deems – Marietta, GA
“Working with Scott and Mark was a real treat! They are a great team with an obvious passion for what they do. Not only were they exceptionally patient, patient, patient… they are also very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to what we wanted in order to help us find the ideal home. Our experience with Scott and Mark was better than we could have imagined and we highly recommend working with this team.” - Laura Prough – Pine Lake, GA
“The Scott and Mark team made buying investment property in the Blue Ridge area easy and enjoyable. They really listened to my criteria and helped me find the perfect spot. They are very knowledgeable about the area and were able to answer all my questions. They are true professionals and really go the extra mile to make sure everything goes smoothly. I highly recommend Scott and Mark and look forward to working with them again.” - Jeff Lents – Atlanta, GA
“John and I want to express our feelings about the adventure in finding our perfect cabin. We were lucky enough to draw you as our realtor when we first walked into High Country Realty. That turned out to be just the best thing going! Both of you were hard working, tuned in to our needs quickly and didn’t waste our time with properties not within our parameters. You both made the process fast and painless. Who would have thought it could all be done in two visits? Wow, what a team!!! Thanks again for making our dream come true. Friends forever!” - John Sellers and Kristen Jones – Marietta, GA
“This was the 10th house John and I have bought in our 30 years of marriage and I want to tell you, you guys are the best! You were professional, knowledgeable, personable and you keyed in on our wants and needs immediately. From the houses we were shown, we were able to choose the one we thought fit us perfectly. We would happily recommend you to anyone looking for a home in this area, confident no one could do a better job. Thanks so much!” - Carolyn Boone – Marietta, GA
“We first contacted Scott and Mark by email and described our criteria for a mountain cabin get-a-way. Right away, Scott provided a number of listings for us to view online. He listened to what we were looking for in a cabin and when we met the next weekend, they had the day mapped out to view numerous cabins. They definitely knew what we were looking for because by the end of the day we had narrowed it down to 3 cabins and signed a contract a few days later! Scott and Mark were so helpful in all aspects of our buying experience. They have gone above and beyond, even after the sale. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the North Georgia Mountain area.” - Pam and Andrew Woodward – Woodstock, GA
“Working with Scott and Mark to find the perfect mountain home was a great experience. Being a first time home buyer they made sure that I was well informed and understood the entire process. I’m required to travel with my job and being across the country during the entire home buying process could have been stressful but they made it seem easy. They were also there to answer my questions and their prompt responses to emails was refreshing. I would not hesitate to send anyone that is looking for their own mountain retreat to Scott and Mark. Thanks for everything!” - Daniel Bryan – Mineral Bluff, GA
“A good Real Estate Professional should never sell their own property. I am a Semi-Retired Real Estate Broker, so I enlisted Scott’s help to sell a property for me. I had co-oped sales with him in the past and was impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail. I also observed his persistence in marketing his listings. The results were a satisfactory sale, an easy closing, and all details handled. Mark Reeves was available as well, making follow-up calls and keeping me informed every step of the way. I was able to be out of town attending to other business while leaving this sale completely in their hands. I can highly recommend the Scott & Mark team if you have a property to sell or purchase. You will appreciate their attention to detail that allows no errors and their always pleasant demeanor. Thanks to you both and my wishes for your continued success.” - Helen McVicker – Blue Ridge, GA
“Mark and Scott were so easy to work with and there was no pressure at all. The cabin they called us to look at, that they thought was what we were looking for, was substantially lower in price than we could go but ended up being perfect for us. They didn’t come with a cabin right at our max money we wanted to spend or a little over. That gave me a strong feeling of trust that will give them repeat business from us.” - Rick and Sandra Persic – Gainesville, GA
“Recently, with the help of Scott and Mark, we purchased a second home in the North Georgia mountains. We have worked with several real estate agents in our lifetimes, but none have been such a delight to work with as have these two gentlemen. What impressed us most from the very beginning was that they had spent the time to preview almost all the houses we visited prior to our first meeting. During and after the the negotiations were complete, they continued to take an advocacy position on our behalf with the Seller and his Agent. We always felt as though they were leveling with us and that we could trust them. We highly recommend Mark and Scott to anyone looking for agents.” - Bob and Karen Bear – Marietta, GA
Find out why our newsletter is the "talk of the town." It is fun, engaging and full of newsy notes that you won't read in the local newspaper. More importantly it lets you know (before anyone else) about properties that have just come on the market... KIND OF like hearing about it from a neighbor.
