Description
Your source for farm and investment land properties in Georgia's Lake Country, featuring Lake Oconee and Historic Madison - just an hour east of Atlanta

The best "Rural Lifestyle Consultant" you can find!

I specialize in land and rural properties in Georgia's Lake Country - located about an hour east of metro Atlanta.  With historic Madison and 19,000 acre Lake Oconee - Georgia's Lake Country offers a superb quality of life for people attracted to outdoor sports, cultural activities, and easy rural living.

You'll find a vibrant and diverse horse community here, with about 1 in 10 Georgia horses living in Madison and the surrounding area.  Whether you have show horses, breed, or just ride trails, you'll be among friends if you choose this area for your next farm.

Another emerging trend in Georgia's Lake Country is the growth of sustainable farming - we now enjoy slow-pasteurized milk, hand crafted cheese, pastured chicken, beef, pork, and lamb, plus an ever changing assortment of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. Many of the farms sell to Atlanta's finest restaurants - both there's usually enough to share with locals. If you're thinking that farm life is for you - why not join our active community of small sustainable farms?

I retired to the Lake Country in 2005 - after 25 years travelling the globe as a home furnishings executive I was ready to unwind.  Now I spend time working to support my local community, and helping other folks make the switch - some call me a "rural lifestyle consultant".

If you are thinking about making a change - why not see if Georgia's Lake Country has what you're looking for?  Give me a call, and I'll help you discover if this beautiful area should be your next home.

I use internet marketing to reach a national audience, and have hosted buyers from many states, including California, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Florida. Visit http://www.horseandhome.com/ today.

Results matter in our business.  In just 3 years, I cracked the top 5% of Prudential agents worldwide in productivity. My client-driven focus produces raving fans for both my buyers and sellers. 

I have specialized training in Resort and Second Home markets, 1031 Exchanges, and E-Marketing.

I'm proud to be affiliated with the Coldwell Banker Lake Country Madison office.  The Coldwell Banker brand represents integrity, reliability and the highest degree of professional standards.

My partner and I live on a 75 acre lakefront farm near Buckhead with several cats, dogs, and about a dozen horses.  My daughter, Johanna, was an international three day eventer, and is currently breeding and training thoroughbreds on her farm in Kentucky.

Why you might hire me...

I sell dirt! 

The focus of my practice is farm and investment land properties - and I have closed deals ranging from 600 lakefront acres to a first-time buyer's mobile home on five acres. 

I've settled six horsey families on Plantation Road alone - its a wonderful feeling to "create" a new neighborhood.  I've also helped some families find the right land for sustainable agriculture farms.

I also sell Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair properties - with miles of lakefront, you need expert advice to find the right neighborhood for you.

And I love historic Madison - my office is on Main Street in the heart of our vibrant downtown. There are opportunities to live within walking distance of our shops, restaurants, and Cultural Center - I can help you select the best home for your family. 

 

What my clients have to say...

"Just wanted to say thank you again for sticking with us during our search for property in Madison. We could not have fallen into greater hands and it’s without saying that you are the best agent we’ve ever had. We are very thankful that you held our hands during this journey.+

Jacqueline and Brian, Decatur

 

 

"We do so appreciate the new information, your preparation time before our meeting and the time you gave to us on Wednesday. You should train realtors on how to act: professional yet empowering potential buyers to make wise choices. Again, we thank you for answering our 1000's of questions and showing us what we wanted to see.  You were truly professional in every respect; we are grateful for your assistance."

Patsy and Ben G, South Carolina

"When you ask a question of Jeanne she will either know the precise answer at the moment, and, if not, will get back soon with an accurate answer. Bottom line: Jeanne is a joy to work with, sees her clients as personal friends, is gracious, tenacious, and produces desired results... no matter how long it takes." - Joe C.

"Jeanne was a great help in our search for a home on Lake Oconee. Her energy was endless. She was so patient getting to know just what we wanted in a home. It took us many months and five or six trips down to get it done but she really came through for us. She is not only a great real estate broker but our first good friend in the area." - Bill and Jan F

"In retrospect, after the conclusion of the sale of our Morgan County property in a tough real estate market, possibly Jeanne's most important attribute was calmness in the midst of a chaotic market. Selling a property is a process, she says, and she remained unruffled during difficult negotiations and was able to keep buyer and seller focused on the goal of making it to closing. In short, we'd hire her again." - Brad and Jan B

"Jeanne Dufort sold our home in 2010.  She gave our listing extraordinary exposure with an on-line virtual tour.  Jeanne brought qualified buyers from across the country and outside of the U.S.  She gave us immediate feedback after showings and gave weekly updates on on-line viewing activity of our home.  The Glass family highly recommeds this highly competent and knowledgable agent, Jeanne Dufort, to get the job done." - Brandy and Matt G.

"Thanks so much for helping us find our dream property. You were really tuned into what we wanted. We have looked at so many properties over the years and as soon as we were on that tract I knew that was it! We still can't believe the great deal we got. Everyone we come across who might be interested in property, we're steering  them to you!" - Pam and Rob S.

"The best thing about working with Jeanne was that every call, every visit, every transaction, she had this focused, incredibly calm demeanor that made us feel like we were her one and only clients." - Meg F.

"The way I met Jeanne was thru a referral from another client impressed with her skills. Everyone tells me how lucky I was to sell at this time. It helps to know the right people." - Nancy C.

"Unlike many realtors we have worked with in the past, Jeanne showed us what truly fit our criteria and not just what was on her sales list.  She is very patient; non-judgmental, willing to listen and willing to offer advice or feedback that helped us find exactly what we needed." - Walt & Nicole M
