Cara is an Athens native who loves how special our local community is and everything it has to offer. After college, Cara spent 7 years in healthcare and worked on the vascular team at Athens Regional. Having grown up in a family that was involved in real estate, house design and construction, it was a natural fit for her to pursue a career in real estate. Cara made the full time leap into real estate in 2014 and discovered her passion for working to protect and guide each of her clients.
Over the years Cara has worked closely with both homeowners and investors and is appreciative of the very different needs of each group. She began her career as a buyer’s agent with Keller Williams and the Woodall Realty group, where she was able to assist over 100 buyers with their home purchases. In 2017 she moved to a boutique Athens brokerage, where she transitioned into a role of assisting sellers and buyers with all of their real estate needs. Cara has worked hard to build relationships with investors who continue to trust her with their current and future real estate ventures. She has been able to assist them with finding income producing properties that are smart fits for their portfolios. Cara is a skilled negotiator, and is knowledgeable of returns, 1031 Tax Free Exchanges and cap rates. Cara has an astute understanding of the importance of communication and how vital it is in all stages of the home buying and selling process. Whether you are a first time home buyer, retiree or investor she will provide exceptional support and guidance.
Cara and her husband, Marc, live in the Athens area with their four children, Emma, Marcus, Aiden & Charlotte. When not working Cara loves to travel, enjoys cooking, reading and exercising outdoors.
