Here's who's actually writing this
I’m Rick Abbott. My family made this exact move six years ago — four years in Ellijay, then Big Canoe, where you’ll find me on the Trails Committee or somewhere with a fly rod.
Before real estate I spent ten years as an IT executive, which mostly means I ask a lot of questions and check the numbers twice. I built this site because when we were the ones deciding, nobody could answer the questions we actually had.
Thinking about the move? Let's talk it through.
Fifteen minutes, no pitch. Tell me what you’re picturing — the community, the budget, the timeline — and I’ll tell you straight whether it’s realistic and where you should be looking. I’ve made this move myself, twice.
