You know you’re from Hall County when your directions include:

“Turn at the Round House.”

No street name.
No intersection.
No GPS pin.

Just the Round House.

And the best part? The person you’re talking to knows exactly where you mean if there from “around here” 😂

We have a whole collection of these in Hall County—places that have been used as landmarks for so long that they’ve basically become part of the map.

What’s another Hall County landmark you still use when giving directions?

I swear September in North Georgia is such a tease.

You walk outside in the morning and think, “Ohhh, fall is finally here.” 🍂

Then 3:00 rolls around and Georgia says, “Absolutely not.” 😂

I’m ready for porch weather, open windows and that first day when you can actually wear a sweater without regretting every decision you’ve ever made.

Who else is completely over summer?

I’m sorry that I am a little late posting this one, but there was absolutely no way I was going to let this closing go by without celebrating this precious family. ❤️

We have known Cydney since the day she was born, and we were honored to watch her grow into the wonderful wife and mom that she is today. A few years ago, we met Felipe and instantly realized what a great (very funny) guy he is and that they are a perfect match!

We had the privilege of helping them buy their starter home. This year, we got to help them sell that same home and then had the joy being part of them designing, building and closing on the home they’ve been dreaming about.

It is truly a blessing getting to walk alongside people through different seasons of their lives, and this is one of those closings that means a little more.

We are so proud of them! We couldn’t be happier for them and everything that’s ahead in their gorgeous new home. This one definitely makes our hearts happy. ❤️

STOP SCROLLING. START STAR GAZING. NEW LISTING ✨

Because every once in a while, the stars align — and the right house shows up at just the right time.

If one-level living has been on your wish list, you can check that box. Dreaming of a backyard where the dogs can run, the kids can play, or you can simply enjoy a little space of your own? The fenced backyard has you covered — and so does the extended covered patio, literally.

A corner lot gives you a little extra breathing room, while fresh interior paint means you can spend your first weekend settling in instead of tackling a project.

And then there’s Sterling on the Lake. Pools, tennis, fitness center, trails, playgrounds, lake access and gathering spaces give you a whole lot more to love beyond your own front door.
