Real Estate Experience: I was licensed as a Georgia real estate agent in 1986. For many years I did not actively practice real estate. In 1999, at the conclusion of full time work, I began my active career with Jan Trammel Realty, Fayetteville, GA. After a couple years, I went back into a full time career where I practice real estate part time with Realmerica. When Realmerica merged with another real estate agency, I joined the brokerage of ERAJo-Par Reatly. Jo-Par sold to ERA Sunrise where I continued until May, 2009. Sunrise subsequently closed it's local office, and I joined the Prudential Georgia Realty, Fayetteville office. I'm glad to work with a firm that has a deep reach into the technology world and a broad outreach into the real estate market. You can reach me easily at 678-517-7283. Our office is located at 834 S. Glynn Street, Suite 200, Fayetteville, GA 30214. Travel south of Fayetteville on GA. 85 to the Summit Point business complex. Our office number is 770-719-9400, and my fax number is 770-692-0258.
