Do you need a real estate agent in the North Georgia Mountain area? Call me today, I would love to work with you! 706-897-0956
I am a Realtor with Cozy Cove Realty and Marina on Lake Nottely in the mountains of North Georgia. We are small real estate company with a family atmosphere. Our location right on the water is fantastic!
. Here is some information about me, professionally and personally:
My office is located on Lake Nottely in Blairsville, GA. I am licensed in Georgia and North Carolina and deal with properties in the Blairsville, Blue Ridge, Hiawassee, GA areas and Murphy, Hayesville, NC. I specialize in mountain homes and waterfront properties.
I discovered Karyn Smith with Cozy Cove Realty when looking at North Georgia mountain properties on Realtor.com. She was the listing agent for one of the properties I liked, and since we didn't have a realtor yet, I gave her a call. I'm so glad I did.
When we drove up to Blairsville to meet with Karyn, she had already previewed some of the properties and had organized an entire packet of the desirable ones that I wanted to visit. She had also added a few more that fit the criteria of what we were looking for. She spent the entire day with us, driving us to each location and telling us the pros and cons of each property without pushing any of them on us. She has a great personality and a professional manner that made us very comfortable in dealing with her. We actually ended up driving around with her another entire day before making any decisions.
After we narrowed our choices down to a couple of sites, Karyn walked us through the entire process from researching the details, to making an offer, and all the way through closing. She was very detail oriented and thought of things that had not even occurred to us to check into. Her office at Cozy Cove was also very helpful in keeping us in contact with her when we needed her for anything.
My husband and I would highly recommend Karyn and Cozy Cove Realty to anyone who is looking for a home or land in North Georgia. -Laura Schrader
Karyn, thank you for all of your help. We really liked the service we
received will contact you in the future should we pursue any other
properties up there. We may put the septic in and put the lot back on the
market, we will let you know. Thank you again, it was a pleasurable
experience.

Karyn,
I would like to let you know how happy Pat and I were with the professionalism and enthusiasm you displayed during our search for a place on the lake. We had contacted more than one realtor in our quest. You however, stood above the others by going the extra mile. Congratulations and thanks.

Cozy Cove realty did a great job for us recently with our real estate purchase. Our agent, Karyn Smith, was extremely knowledgeable about all potential properties, was very patient & helpful & found the property we wanted & helped us through entire process. Our experience was enjoyable & we will always use Cozy Cove for future real estate needs. Chris & Ella Means Take care, Chris
Karyn Smith, from Cozy Cove Realty gave us such a wonderful experience in
looking for and buying the lake home of our dreams. She was amazingly
patient to deal with our perfectionistic requests, and made it feel that we
were her only client. We not only had the best real estate agent we could
have hoped for, we made a friend in the process.
Lyndon and Laura Sidelinger

Thanks for your note, Karyn. You were very professional in your dealings with me on what was a delicate matter that required a subtle and patient touch. All the best, Karyn. I can tell you will go far in your business and in all things. Mac
It was a pleasure working with Karyn and everyone at Cozy Cove Realtors. They made the process of selling our much loved lake house easy. Karyn handled everything and helped us sell it in less than 6 weeks. Everything was so smooth. Now, we are looking forward to renting a vacation spot through Cozy Cove for next summer! Sheila Hall
We met Karyn the old-fashioned way, we saw her name on a For Sale sign in front of a house that we were interested in, and called her. While that meeting was purely by chance it proved to be fortuitous for us as we worked with Karyn over the next 2 years, culminating in our purchase of a vacation home. From our very first meeting with her we were impressed with Karyn's knowledge of the market and her warm, engaging style. Never high pressure, Karyn worked with us to understand our priorities in a home, and the updates she provided us on the market were timely and very much appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience working with Karyn and if you are looking for an agent, we highly recommend her. Steve & Jamie
