Teresa Smith

Teresa has been a resident of Lake Lanier since 2004. She started her business in real estate on Lake Lanier when her family moved to Flowery Branch in 2000. Her cousins had rental cabins on Lake Lanier and together they started a boat rental business.
 
She fell in love with Lake Lanier and decided that selling property and changing people’s lives on the lake was her true passion. Throughout the years, Teresa and her team have changed countless family’s lives on the lake. Her team has a great working relationship with the Army Corp of Engineers who control dock permits and the entire shoreline around the 692 miles of the lake. She considers herself very blessed to live on the lake and has always said that living on Lake Lanier is like being on vacation every day. Teresa grew up in Dallas, TX, and attended the University of Arkansas where she graduated with a degree in Marketing and Fashion Merchandising.
 
In addition to her family and career, she enjoys boating, cooking, traveling, and volunteering with the Lake Lanier Association.

"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 it’s 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!"

"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."

"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. It’s 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 couldn’t have done so well without you two, you have made the journey so much easier and more joyful. We appreciate you more than words can say!"

"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."
