I love the high quality of service and knowledge Teresa and her team provided. She understood exactly what we needed when looking for a lake home and showed us the right homes in the right price range.

Teresa, Mackenzie and team are THE experts on Lake Lanier real estate. We've now purchased 2 homes, sold 1, and referred several friends to them--the attention to detail, local knowledge and deep understanding of lake real estate (which go far beyond just the house) is just fantastic. 10/10, would recommend--you're going to miss something if you buy a house without them.

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!

Teresa Smith accepted my listing on a lake property that really wasn’t in marketable condition. I was selling the property as part of an estate and I live in a different state. Teresa was extremely patient and helpful in lining up contractors as required over several months to improve the property and present it in the best possible light possible.I can’t imagine anyone more professional, patient, courteous, and professional than Teresa. When we were able to get an acceptable offer she served as my power of attorney at closing gratis so I wouldn’t have to travel to Gainesville.From start to finish over a number of months Teresa persisted and assisted. I can’t recommend her and her team more highly.

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!!

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!

Mackenzie and Teresa were a joy to work with! They were able to sell our home within just 5 days of it hitting the market and at full asking price! They’ve got a great team as well who really knows how to professionally photograph and market the home. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for an agent to help buy/sell a home!

Teresa was absolutely phenomenal to partner in the process of selling our home in a lake community. She understood the market for lake homes and communities. Teresa spent time coaching us from staging to preparing our home to be on the market and it sold quickly due to her experience in home sales. She kept us informed on any showings communicating with us regularly. When we received multiple offers she was on top of all the negotiations for us. If you are looking for a realtor either to buy or sell a home, Teresa Smith is your go to realtor.

I am a BIG Teresa Smith advocate and I highly recommend her as your Real Estate Agent if you are looking for a home on/near Lake Lanier. Not only is she intimately knowledgeable of the lake and neighborhoods, but she also has a reliable network of professionals to help make an informed decision (Contractors, Architects, Core Rangers, etc). Teresa helped us find our new home in Flowery Branch after an exhaustive search in a very difficult pandemic market. She then turn around and sold our existing home at our asking price before it was even listed. Always patient, no pressure, and extremely thorough and responsive.

Teresa and her team were absolute professionals and absolutely "in our corner" as sellers. Teresa and her team were great about protecting our time and energy throughout the processes of selling our home - from scheduling the pictures, throughout the showings, and then when negotiating with the buyers. Even though I'm sure Teresa and her team had multiple clients while she worked with us, she made us feel as though we were her only concern - she was responsive to our calls, questions, and concerns - always providing timely and thoughtful responses. Truthfully, I'm glad she was on our "side" because she's a, tenacious, formidable agent that made us feel as though she would've gone into "battle" on our behalf. It's rare to experience this type of customer care any more these days...as such it was a please to work with Teresa and her team.

My fiance and I were first time home buyers in the craziest market in history, and we couldn't have bought that first home without Mackenzie there to navigate us through the process. She was a joy to work with, as professional as they come, and one of the hardest working people we've ever met. We highly recommend working with Mackenzie if you are looking to buy or sell! You really will feel like a priority throughout the entire process. I am happy to say my fiance and I closed on a home in July, and we have Mackenzie and KW team to thank for that!

Mackenzie was the absolute best - from initial conversations through to closing I could not have asked for a better realtor! She understood what I was looking for in my first home, sought options that matched my desires / needs, and was so flexible and encouraging throughout the whole process. She was professional and great at what she does - within a few weeks of us looking, she was able to find a home that fit all of my criteria, before it even went on the market!! I was able to put an offer in at listing price, with such a smooth due diligence / closing process. She was knowledge in negotiations, question and conversations throughout the buying / closing process. I would recommend Mackenzie to any and everyone - I am so grateful for her partnership and look forward to working with her again in the future!

My husband and I recently sold our home with Michele who did an absolutely amazing job! ALL the details she put into my listing were top notch, from the suggestions to get my home ready, to the pictures that were taken and even the personal attention she gave us. Anytime I needed ANYTHING she was there for my family. There’s no other realtor I will ever use. Michele is not only my realtor but will be a friend for life!
