Get to Know Lori Hamilton

Well, like most people in Atlanta, I can't say that I'm originally from this rapidly growing city.

My Story: A Yankee Moves to the South

Ok, that was 21 years ago (1987), but moving from Long Island, New York to Atlanta at the time was a big adjustment.  Don't get me wrong there are some similarities between the 2 'burbs (yes, Long Island is considered the suburbs in NY), but gosh, I'd never heard of "Okra" before and every soft drink was called "Coke" not "soda".

Fast forward 21 years and believe it or not I know what "Okra" is, and Coca-Cola is my soft drink of choice.  Oh, and by the way, I found a man (my awesome husband) who was actually born and raised in Atlanta, and now I can say so is our son.

Looks like Atlanta is our home for a long time.  We currently enjoy living in Sugar Hill, GA, our home for the last 6 years.

Why Real Estate?

I've always been fascinated with Real Estate.  I was exposed early on with my grandfather who was a home builder on Long Island.  He would take me with him every now and again to home sites.  I would always be in awe of the process and how the finished product became the centerpiece of one's life and family.  When it was time to figure out how to make a living - a.k.a. when you grow up - I got into sales.  I did pretty well in that field but corporate america aometimes throws you some lemons - company files bankruptcy - so I decided that now was a better time than ever to purse my passion in Real Estate.

It has been pretty awesome!  I have met so many wonderful and interesting people that I have learned so much from.  And the best part is that I really feel like I have helped them.  Atlanta Real Estate has been a gift to me!

Certifications

For the past 6 years, I have extensive expertise with First Time Home Buyers.  I have held classes for First Time Home Buyers and helped them make the leap into homeownership with knowledge and confidence. 

I am an Accredited Relocation Specialist within my company and have helped many people make the move to Atlanta.  Anyone thinking about relocating to Atlanta, GA ask me all about it!

I also work with home sellers to get their home valued, marketed, staged and sold so they can move on to their next home.  I tend to call this group "Move Up Buyers" because this group is generally moving from one phase of their life to another.  This can be a balancing act - selling a house and moving to another - and I know how to juggle the Real Estate side of things so that it is one less thing you have to worry about.
