Georgia Mountain Real Estate

Rick

Following graduation from Florida State University College of Law, I practiced law in central Florida for over a decade. Although the practice of law was financially rewarding, it was never personally fulfilling.  So in 2004, I left my home state of Florida and the practice of law and moved to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains to start a career in real estate. I LOVE IT. Real estate is my passion. There is no greater professional pleasure than successfully negotiating a deal for a client.
