Celebrated our anniversary in San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, and it did not disappoint — salsa dancing on the beach and at La Factoria, dinner at the beautiful Fairmont, finding new favorite spots (El Mas Alla), and long lazy days on the beach. 🏝️💃☀️

Even attempted to convert Chad to the beet side 🫜 … let’s just say the “creamy, lemony” beet soup wasn’t the magic bullet 😂.

So grateful for the memories (and the partner to make them with). ♥️♥️

Pausing today to reflect on how our freedom is not free. Thank you to all who’ve served, especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸

✨ SOLD in Clairmont Heights with Multple Offers Before Listing! ✨

The new owners of 685 N. Superior Avenue are about to fall in love with this lifestyle—walking to Sarah Donuts, ChocoLaté, and Po’ Boy Shop, quick runs to Emory Commons, minutes to Emory/CDC and Downtown Decatur. Not to mention mornings on their private patio, cooking in that stunning renovated kitchen with the original brick fireplace and Thermador appliances, and unwinding in the Zellige-tiled spa bathroom.

This fully-renovated 3BR/2BA classic had everything: champagne hardware, marble subway tile, two-car carport, dry basement storage, coveted Fernbank Elementary and Druid Hills HS—and no City of Decatur taxes.

It was lovely working with buyer’s agent Catherine Beadles (), coincidentally a month after partnering with her mom on a home buy/sell (real estate runs in the family!). And smooth closing as always thanks to Becht Neel of .

We’re wrapping up our Decatur neighborhood data series with one of the city’s most quietly beloved communities: Parkwood. 🏡

Nestled between Ponce, Scott Boulevard, and East Lake Drive, Parkwood is the kind of neighborhood people move into and simply stay for decades (or never leave!) — pedestrian-friendly streets, spacious yards, historic homes, and a community so tight-knit that former residents come back as adults to raise their own families here.

That loyalty shows up in the data too: Parkwood recorded zero home sales in 2025. Not a sign of weakness — just a reflection of how rarely people choose to leave.

We have seen some early activity in 2026, so stay tuned. When a Parkwood home does come to market, it’s worth paying attention.

This wraps our 2022–2025 neighborhood series — but this is far from the last you’ll hear from us on Decatur market data. We’ll be sharing updates regularly throughout the year, neighborhood by neighborhood, as the market moves. 📊

And of course if you’re thinking of buying or selling or looking for advice on ROI of renovations, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d be happy to help!

Next up in our Decatur neighborhood series: the MAK Historic District. 🏡

The McDonough-Adams-Kings Highway District — known to locals as “MAK” — is one of Decatur’s most coveted pockets, with many historic homes dating back to 1907 and all the charm that comes with them. Walkable, character-filled, and genuinely hard to leave once you’re in.

Here’s a look at how the neighborhood performed from 2022–2025:

🔹2025 saw 4 sales in the MAK District
🔹Average sale price held essentially flat at $1,310,250 (down just 0.08% from $1,311,250 in 2024)
🔹Price per square foot jumped 21.6% — from $374 to $455

Note: with only four transactions in 2025, this data is best read as a snapshot rather than a definitive trend. What it does tell us is that MAK homes continue to command serious prices — and serious interest.

Curious what your MAK home is worth, or what it takes to get into this neighborhood? We’d love to talk.

🛑Do your weekend plans include searching the MLS for City of Decatur listings or driving to see properties before you officially start your search? Before you do anything else, read this post. 🛑

After a tough 2025 where Decatur home values declined ~$60,000*, the 2026 market has warmed up. Buyer activity is back, inventory is moving (often before officially hitting the market), and homes are getting multiple offers. In competitive markets like ours, your Realtor® choice determines your outcome—not just whether you get the home, but whether you overpay for it … and lest not forget avoiding buying a lemon.

Experience isn’t just helpful—it’s how you avoid costly mistakes and position yourself for long-term equity growth.

Swipe through for the strategic advantages experienced representation provides.

Ready to start your search the smart way? Let’s talk.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mom-like mentors out there! 🌺

This Mother’s Day weekend I had the pleasure of being pampered by the talented professional/executive chef who thankfully was on a short break from catering F1 race suites and consulting on opening new restaurants. 🤩 The menu: spring gazpacho with avocado mousse (who knew I liked cold soup?), lemon confit chicken with roasted fingerling potatoes, and orange zeppoli with Grand Marnier cream. 🤤

SOLD! 🎉 2555 McCurdy Way | 4 BR/3BA | Medlock Park

There’s something extra special about a sale that keeps it in the family — and this one delivered just that. We’re so happy to have played a small part in helping this buyer find her place in North Decatur, steps from Medlock Park and all the neighborhood goodness that makes this pocket of Atlanta so hard to leave once you find it.

She was guided every step of the way by her aunt, Chris Aiken of the — that kind of trust means everything, and Chris brought exactly the care and expertise her niece deserved.

Shoutout to Campbell and Brannon Intown for another smooth closing. 🏡

📊 CITY OF DECATUR NEIGHBORHOOD DATA: GLENWOOD ESTATES

We've nearly wrapped up our neighborhood series. Next up: Glenwood Estates—recognized for its stately larger homes, beautifully manicured properties, and proximity to Decatur's top parks, schools, and restaurants.

2025 DATA*:

- 4 home sales (down from 19 in 2024)
- Average price: $1,247,500 (up 22.71%)
- Price per sq ft: $367.54 (up 1.38%)

What it means: The sharp decline in transaction volume made year-over-year comparisons less reliable. With only 4 sales, these figures likely reflect property mix rather than a definitive shift in neighborhood value trends.

Considering a move in Glenwood Estates or nearby? We've already secured multiple pre-market sales in 2026. Strong networks and deep market knowledge create opportunities—let's talk about yours.
