Trent has lived and worked in North Georgia -- specifically, Jasper in Pickens County, GA -- for more than twenty years and has a strong knowledge of the area.   His real estate experience lies in both the sales and administrative sides, including working with buyers and sellers of homes, investment properties, residential lots and land tracts, mainly in Pickens County, but in some limited surrounding areas such as Gilmer, Cherokee, Dawson and Forsyth Counties as well.

Trent understands the importance of ongoing education and market insight to further the interests of his clients, and in his more than six years as a Georgia real estate licensee has worked to constantly stay abreast of developments in the real estate industry, real estate law, and local markets.

In line with this effort to stay current and be a source of information, aside from personal real estate websites, www.NorthGeorgiaResidential.com and www.PickensGeorgiaRealEstate.com, Trent also posts regularly to his Georgia and real estate related blogs: http://PickensBlog.BlogSpot.com and www.GeorgiaLotandLand.com, and of course, http://activerain.com/blogs/dunsandal

Trent believes real estate is evolving into a more complex, yet efficient, process, in which technology will play an increasingly significant role.  His focus is on adapting these new technologies and innovations, and moving away from many of the traditional methods and philosophies of real estate, embracing a new way of interacting with consumers and transacting business . . . even if that means going against the grain.

 Trent's primary specialty is geographic.  His knowledge of Pickens County makes it a natural focus for his business, along with some closely adjoining areas that he works on a more limited basis, such as North Cherokee County, West Dawson County, and North Forsyth County.

Cities covered in Trent's area of specialization include: Jasper, Tate, Talking Rock, Nelson, Ranger, Ludville, Marblehill, Ball Ground, and North Canton.

Neighborhoods include: Bent Tree, The Preserve at Sharp Mountain, Jordan's Crossing, Wild Timber, Hunter's Ridge, Arbor Hills, Madison Ridge, The Village at Oak Creek, Dogwood Trace, Grandview Cove, Hickory Cove, Bethany Moorings, Henderson Woods, Saddle Ridge, Winchester Oaks, Little Creek Farms, The Outback, The Meadowlands, Greystone, Georgian Highlands, Stoneledge, Salacoa Highlands, Mount Sequoyah, Monument Falls, Big Canoe, and more . . .

Within this geographic specialty, Trent has a range of experience in the purchase and sale of many types of property including: residential, investment, foreclosure (REO), developed lots, undeveloped land, and real estate auctions (both live and online), having successfully engaged in transactions of each sort, and continuing his education to that end.  Part of this ongoing education includes completing the course work for the "Commercial Real Estate Professional" designation with the intent of strengthening his business in this arena to incorporate more commercial and development land transactions.
