Meet Susan Powers

Susan Powers of Coldwell Banker High Country Realty has been working as a real estate agent for 9 years and attended Valdosta State College in Valdosta, GA and University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL.  Susan received the 2008 Circle of Excellence Award for Sales Achievement from The NE Georgia Board of Realtors.  She enjoys working with people and has a strong investment background in real estate.  According to Susan, this comes in handy when working with client who wants to purchase property for rental purposes or resale with built-in equity.  Working with Buyers by helping them navigate the local MLS or providing them with automatic emails of new and updated listings that match their own specific search parameters is Susan’s favorite part of the real estate business.  She works primarily in secondary home markets, as well as estates and golf communities and previews homes for clients prior to showings, giving them the best choice of listings that meet their needs.  Susan is newly and happily married to Gary Powers who specializes in golf.

The most challenging aspect of being in the real estate business for Susan Powers is knowing when to make a purchase since the homes with instant equity are quickly scooped up by savvy buyers.  She suggests that the first-time homebuyer do research on the area, schools, various first time home buyer mortgage programs and select an agent who can show them a variety of locations that will suit their needs.  Susan tells us, “Ellijay and Blue Ridge have not taken then severe price beating that most markets suffered in the past few years. Our prices did level off and foreclosures certainly play a part in our listing inventory, but thankfully the market is now moving again and buyers are back!”  For Susan, the most rewarding part of being a real estate agent is helping someone find a home that they will be happy to live in, but most importantly would be able to sell for at least what they paid, or more, if their situation changed and they needed to move.  A good agent, in Susan’s eyes, is someone who is able to listen to the needs of a client so that they do not waste their time when searching for a home and having a good, fun personality making the buying experience a positive experience.

Susan relocated from north east Florida to Ellijay about 4 years ago to take advantage of the gorgeous weather, slower paced lifestyle and fresh air.  Susan tells us, “I answer my cell phone 99% of the time when a client calls me.  I work about 10 hours a day right now previewing new listings, showing property and learning all areas of Blue Ridge and Ellijay.  I owned an ad agency for over 20 years and see the true value in advertising and website presence, which gives me a tremendous edge over my competition.”
