Engel & Völkers Expands Services into the North Georgia Mountains
Thursday, March 2nd, 2023
Engel & Völkers announced today its expansion into North Georgia with its new brokerage, Engel & Völkers North Georgia Mountains. Under the helm of Atlanta’s leading luxury broker and CEO of Engel & Völkers Atlanta, Christa Huffstickler, alongside North Georgia’s top producing advisors, Heather Foreman and Linda Baker, as the firm’s managing brokers, the new brokerage will now offer Engel & Völkers’ residential real estate services in the mountain-based region.
“Over the last few years, we have seen a migration to the North Georgia market because of its serene mountain environment and proximity to metro Atlanta,” said Huffstickler. “With the addition of this shop—associated with our brand of international real estate powerhouses—we are thrilled to continue to push the envelope with a team of experts who will elevate our suite of offerings in Atlanta and new, surrounding markets. As part of a global company, we are ready to double down on dominating the residential real estate market locally and beyond.
“Christa is a remarkable professional and greatly respected within our global Engel & Völkers network and the industry as a whole,” said Anthony Hitt, president and CEO, Engel & Völkers Americas. “Her ability to attract exceptional talent who provide the utmost service and strategy to clients continues to propel her and her business as one of the industry’s top performers.”
With over 20 years of combined experience in the luxury residential real estate industry in North Georgia, Foresman and Baker will lead the team of advisors under Engel & Völkers. Having closed over $163M in North Georgia-based sales volume, the real estate shop will leverage its access to the Engel & Völkers global network and next-generation marketing tools to provide in-depth market expertise for areas including Blue Ridge, Blairsville and Ellijay.
“As a long time resident of Blue Ridge, I understand the intricacies of its market and the need to preserve the serene, quaint lifestyle the region is known for,” said Baker. “I’m thrilled to provide our clients with the boutique service they have come to expect, now complemented by Engel & Völkers’ sophisticated sales and marketing platform, to help them find the right solution for their home buying and selling needs.”
