With over 30 years in real estate, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless clients navigate one of life’s biggest decisions, and it’s something I never take for granted. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling your current one, or investing in something new, my goal is to make the process feel clear, supported, and even a little enjoyable along the way.
As a Broker and team leader, I’m proud to work alongside an incredible group of Realtors who are just as committed to serving our clients well. Our team has been recognized in the top half of 1% of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agents worldwide with the Chairman’s Circle Diamond Award, but what means the most to me is the relationships we build and the trust we earn.
Over the years, I’ve worked across nearly every side of real estate: residential, land, commercial, foreclosures, short sales, and rentals. My background as an appraiser gives me an added layer of insight when it comes to pricing and helping clients make confident, informed decisions.
I’ve also had the opportunity to give back to the industry through leadership roles with both the Cobb and Cherokee Associations of Realtors, including serving as President of the Cherokee Association and being honored as Realtor of the Year in 2015.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, I’m here to be a steady, knowledgeable resource you can count on from start to finish.
Real estate, to me, is about people first. It’s about understanding what matters most to you and helping you get there with confidence.
As a licensed real estate broker and team lead, I work across both residential and commercial properties, bringing a strong understanding of the market and a hands-on approach to every transaction. I’m known for my attention to detail, clear communication, and making sure my clients feel supported from start to finish.
Before real estate, I spent years in nonprofit fundraising, which really shaped how I approach this business- service-driven, relationship-focused, and rooted in my community. I stay actively involved locally, including serving on the planning and zoning commission for the City of Jasper.
At home, life is busy and full with my husband and our three boys. He’s a Pickens County native, and I’ve proudly called Jasper home for many years. You’ll usually find me at a ball field, a community event, or at Jasper First Baptist Church.
Helping people navigate big life moves is something I don’t take lightly, and I’m here to guide you through it every step of the way.

A local of Smyrna, I bring a personalized & attentive approach to real estate, with a focus on making the buying and selling process feel seamless, enjoyable, and far less overwhelming than expected. Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, and having attended Auburn University, I quickly found my place in Georgia and am proud to call it home! I owe much of my expertise to the opportunity early in my career to work closely alongside a top-producing, seasoned agent. Through that experience, I gained invaluable, hands-on exposure to every stage of the transaction, from showings and contracts to negotiations and complex problem-solving. That foundation allows me to confidently navigate even the most complex situations while keeping my clients informed and supported every step of the way. I take a thoughtful, relationship-driven approach, prioritizing not only the outcome, but how my clients feel throughout the entire process. I believe every client deserves to feel heard, understood, and fully supported, and I’m intentional about listening, communicating clearly, and guiding each step with care and attention.
As part of the Providence Partners team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties—ranked among the top teams in Georgia—I’m able to offer my clients not only personalized service, but the backing of a highly experienced and results-driven network.
When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Tyler, and our Bernese Mountain Dog, Bonnie. Whether I’m hosting friends or working on a new project around the house, I love creating spaces that feel warm and welcoming- something I carry into every client experience as I help turn not just houses, but everyday moments, into something that truly feels like home!
With extensive experience guiding first-time buyers, move-up clients, and second-home purchasers, I bring a well-rounded and personalized approach to every real estate journey. My background goes beyond traditional sales—I’ve developed property and built homes myself, giving me a strong understanding of construction and the ability to help clients identify potential issues and opportunities within a home.
Having represented both buyers and sellers for many years, I offer a balanced perspective and strategic insight that benefits every client I work with. I have deep knowledge of the Cherokee and Cobb County markets, with a strong focus on Towne Lake, Woodstock, Canton, and Acworth.
Over the course of my career, I’ve successfully listed and sold hundreds of homes in these communities. That experience isn’t just a number—it’s the foundation of the trusted guidance, market expertise, and results I provide to each client.

A Georgia resident for over 40 years, she brings unmatched local insight and a genuine passion for the communities she serves, with a proven specialty in the North Atlanta metro market.
Gail has lived in Georgia 40 years, watching the North Atlanta region evolve from quiet suburbs into one of the Southeast’s most desirable and fastest-growing corridors.
