Thank you for visiting our website.  
I am a native of the North Georgia mountains.  I am not your typical Realtor.  Please don't expect a Barbie Doll.  I'll be in my blue jeans and hiking boots, not a dress & heels.  I love to walk & show property and will be right with you til we find that missing corner on the top of a mountain.  I enjoy finding that perfect home for my customers, welcoming them to their new slower & easier lifestyle of mountain life and helping them fit in, in their new surroundings.

I love to ride my Harley, but, don't worry, I won't come to pick you up and expect you to ride behind, unless you ask.  I'm just a blessed person who loves life & believes that putting on a front is not part of my job description.  What you see is what you get.  I'm a person who will treat you kindly and honestly, in any situation. 

I opened Appalachian Realty in 1986 because I wanted to help people find their dreams in these mountains, just as I had found mine several years before.  I have a passion for real estate and I am driven by it.  I enjoy meeting people, making friends and helping others.

My husband, Bruce, and I moved to Gilmer County in 1981.  We have seen the growth and change here, but much of our county has maintained it's peacefulness and beauty, in part, because of the large area of Chattahoochee National Forest that surrounds us.  The beauty and abundant wildlife have drawn nature lovers from all over the country and make living here a wonderful privilege and blessing.

I am a Leave No Trace Master Educator, Stock Use, which means I teach people how to take care of our mountains and forests (specializing in horse/trail riders/campers) and, generally, how to lower their impact on their surroundings & leave their environment better than they found it.  I teach LNT Awareness Workshops & Trainer's Courses.  If you are interested in participating in an Awareness Workshop or would like to become a trainer, please contact me

I am a Life Member of the NE GA Board of Realtors Million Dollar Club, an
accredited buyers agent and an e-pro internet professional.  I specialize in locating  just the right property for my clients.  I go above and beyond what you expect of an agent.  That is what has made my business and career successful.  I hold my agents to the same standards I adhere to.   I know that you will be pleased with their knowledge, professionalism and willingness to insure that clients and customers are pleased  with the service they receive.  This keeps our customers and clients returning when the time to purchase or sell real estate arises again.  
    
    
 
God has blessed me, and my family, and I thank him immensely for His Grace.  
I grew up riding horses in the North Georgia mountains and I know our mountains are one of his finest works.  I am proud that he has made me a steward of the land.

                  God Bless You All and thank you for visiting our website!  We would be honored to assist you in your search for that "perfect mountain property."

worlds finest trail horses!
 


         
I love my horses, but I love to ride my bike, too!  If you ride either, you'll be in heaven in our beautiful area.  We have the Chattahoochee National Forest surrounding us and currently we can ride cross country and on miles of old trails and forest roads.
The Tail of the Dragon, the Hellbender, the Cherohala Skyway, NC 28, GA's Richard Russell Scenic Hwy, Hwy 60 South, Hwy 19/129 and Hwy 180 are just a few of the fantastic, twisty & scenic roads that we bikers love!  
Above Left--you see me on my first street bike, a sweet little 750 Honda Ace on Beartooth Hwy. in Montana. In the other two pictures I'm on my 55th birthday present to myself, a Pacific Blue Pearl & Black, 2008 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic.  The center picture was taken in the Black Hills of South Dakota and the one on the right was on the "Tail of the Dragon," at Deal's Gap in NC & TN.  I'm happy!
Contact me
and I'll be glad to find you the perfect full time, vacation home or investment property with easy access for you & your bikes or horses.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL &
RIDE SAFE!
