    • Teresa and Mackenzie helped us sell our family home on Lake Lanier, a house our parents built and handed down to us. It was very personal and they handled our process with a wonderful combination of grace and professionalism. The house carried a price point lower than most of their listings but I never had the sense that they worked any less on our behalf. From beginning to end, they were proactive, communicative, and responsive; in short, they worked hard! Their specialization (and rootedness) on Lake Lanier is also extremely helpful. We appreciated their counsel on all aspects of the sale. Finally, we had to address questions about the foundation and structural integrity of the house. Teresa brought in trusted contractors she's used before to answer our questions well. Teresa and Mackenzie are really good people, we enjoyed working with them, and we'd hire them again! (And we'd recommend them to family and friends.

    • Mackenzie, Teresa and team are absolutely phenomenal and we've now purchased 2 homes, sold one, and referred several friends to these wonderful ladies. They are beyond knowledgeable about Lake Lanier and have a real expertise surrounding lake life and the variables that go well beyond the home purchase itself. So much of lake life is about the water you're on and the location on the lake, and Teresa's team has taught us SO much about about what to look for in the perfect home. Smart, savvy, responsive, professional, and as it turns out, like a part of our family now, too-just wonderful. This is who you want if you're looking for a home anywhere near Lake Lanier.

    • Michele was absolutely fantastic in helping us find our weekend getaway lake house. We toured multiple properties and she was very helpful in leading us down the right track when we werent even sure what we really wanted. She is crazy knowledgeable and made the buying process as smooth as can be. She has lots of contacts and helped lineup multiple inspections to ensure that what we were buying was of good quality and the value. She truly had our best interest in mind throughout the entire process. There were some difficult decisions to be made and she helped us through all of them. I would definitely recommend Michele to anyone thats looking to purchase home on Lake Lanier.

    • Teresa sold our house for more than we thought we would get. She did this not only with her top notch professional social media resources but with fantastic negotiating skills. She has a calmness demeanor with true expertise on lake Lanier. We interviewed several realtors and cannot be more satisfied with choosing Teresa Smith!

    • We can not say enough good things about Teresa Smith and her team. Having lived in our home over 30yrs, she went above and beyond to help us prepare our home look its best. She worked with us extensively using her many resources and contacts to make this happen. She made us feel like we were her only client always just a phone call away any time we needed her. She is so easy to work with always listening and accommodating to our needs. We owe her a lot for helping us keep our sanity through what was a very stressful time for us. We highly, highly recommend her!

    • Working with Teresa Smith and Mackenzie Scott to sell our lake home was a most pleasurable experience! Their experience and expertise, coupled with their positivity, turned a potentially stressful experience into one that kept everyone moving forward comfortably. The end result was a sale with both the buyer and us thrilled. Teresa and Mackenzie have earned our highest recommendation!

    • Pack the boxes before you call Teresa and Michelle. They had a contract on our beloved lake house within 24 hours of the open house. They were everything we could ask for in real estate agents. They are kind, compassionate, efficient, professional, etc, etc. The video and the photos were absolutely amazing. In a world where everything sells on the internet first, great photos and videos matter. The video was original and attention grabbing. The photos told the story of our beautiful lake home and the property.Bill & Vicki | Seller

    • When we were moving back to Atlanta to be close to family we thought it would be nice to live on Lake Lanier, but we had no idea how to even get started. A friend who already lived on the lake highly recommended Mackenzie and Teresa. We feel unbelievably fortunate to have found them. From our initial contact by phone, to meeting them in person, to looking at houses together, they have been extraordinarily friendly and competent. We knew absolutely nothing about lake living, but they are experts! They helped us learn what we needed to know, and provided very useful insight about each property we looked at. They never pressured us in any way, and we always felt like all they really wanted was for us to find the property that was right for us. We were fortunate to find our property relatively soon, but they would have gladly kept showing us more properties until we found the right one. Once we made an offer, they expertly guided us through the negotiations. We had a tight time frame for inspection contingencies, but they quickly lined us up with competent contractors and everything went smoothly. And even after closing they continued to be a great resource with recommendations for things like landscapers, electricians, dock movers and other necessary contractors. We have been fortunate to have good realtors over the years, but none even come close to Teresa and Mackenzie. They make an amazing team, with one of them usually responding to any of our inquiries within a short timeframe. Its been more than half a year since we bought our lake house and we still reach out to them on all aspects of property maintenance and care. They have been a phenomenal resource. We are overwhelmingly satisfied with our home buying experience with these ladies, and we wholeheartedly recommend them as highly as possible. So thanks a million, Teresa and Mackenzie, we couldnt have done so well without you two, you have made the journey so much easier and more joyful. We appreciate you!
