THROWBACK THURSDAY | A LITTLE ELLIJAY HISTORY

Did you know that one of Ellijay’s former courthouses actually started out as a hotel?

Built in 1898, the Hyatt Hotel once welcomed travelers visiting our little mountain town. In 1934, the building was converted into the Gilmer County Courthouse, where it served our community for decades before being demolished in 2008.

From a place for travelers to rest to a place where important county decisions were made, this building was part of Ellijay’s story for more than a century!

It's pretty amazing to look back at these old photographs and see just how much our little mountain town has changed over the years.

We love sharing the history that makes North Georgia such a special place to call home!

WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY | GILMER COUNTY MARKET UPDATE

Fall is here in the North Georgia mountains, and we're taking a look at what's happening in our local real estate market!

With 629 active listings, a median asking price of $529,900, and homes spending a median of 105 days on the market, buyers are finding more options while sellers are navigating a more competitive market.

With 42% of listings seeing price reductions, one thing is clear: pricing your home right from the beginning matters more than ever!

For buyers, this could mean more opportunities and negotiating power. For sellers, it's all about standing out with the right pricing, presentation, and marketing strategy.

Whether you're looking to make the mountains your home or thinking about selling, our Escape to the Mountains Team is here to help you make your next move with confidence!

There's no better compliment than knowing our clients would choose us all over again!

Behind every successful team is a group of people who show up, work hard, and support one another along the way.

At Escape to the Mountains, we believe that success isn't just measured by the homes we sell, but by the relationships we build, the people we help, and the goals we accomplish together.

Different strengths. One shared vision. A team that's always working toward something bigger.

SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY | Meet Greg Baldwin

This Saturday, we’re shining the spotlight on another great member of our Escape to the Mountains Crew, Greg Baldwin!

For Greg, real estate is about so much more than buying and selling property. It’s about being part of the journey and helping turn someone’s dream into reality. Whether buying their first home, finding the perfect mountain getaway, or making their next big move, Greg loves being the person who helps make it happen!

One of his favorite things about being part of our crew? The incredible diversity of knowledge and experience each team member brings to the table. We all have different strengths, and that’s what makes us a team!

A couple of fun facts about Greg:
• He’s been published both regionally and nationally!
• He’s a HUGE audiobook fan and can never get enough of a good listen!

We’re lucky to have Greg as part of the Escape to the Mountains Crew!

Throwback Thursday • Blue Ridge, Georgia

A little Main Street nostalgia from the Escape to the Mountains crew!

Did you know the old Rexall counter served sandwiches, cold drinks, and ice cream that came all the way from Atlanta by train? We would’ve happily stopped in for an ice cream float!

This look at downtown in 1961 brings back a different time. Do you remember shopping downtown or visiting the Rexall counter? We’d love to hear your stories!

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY | MARK CONGDON

Finding the right home isn’t always about checking boxes — sometimes it takes patience, persistence, and an agent who truly listens.

Mark helped this family navigate the search for a unique multi-generational property, and they couldn’t have said it better: his communication, honesty, patience, and commitment made all the difference.

“Mark proved himself over and over as a top-rate agent… he truly is the Mark of Excellence!”

We love seeing our agents take care of their clients from the first showing all the way to finding the place that finally feels like home.

Thinking about buying or selling in North Georgia? Let the Escape to the Mountains Crew help you make your move.
