SHARI SIMPSON
LUXURY IS AN EXPERIENCE, NOT A PRICE POINT.
Meet Shari
After earning a bachelor’s degree in special education and teaching from the University of South Florida, Shari Simpson taught children in the first and second grades for nearly 10 years in Florida and Georgia combined, and the empathetic sensibility that made her teaching career so rewarding is the same social intelligence that she brings to each real estate negotiation. She feels that the organized chaos of a classroom parallels living through all the moving parts of a transaction, and she is practiced at making the experience manageable for people by being the one thing that remains steady and centered.
Seeing her role as multi-faceted, Shari enjoys taking care of clients, doing whatever she can to reduce their stress and help them thrive and grow in the midst of transition. From taking care of small details to walking clients through the emotional parts of buying, selling and moving, her goal is to help buyers and sellers be excited about what happens in their next chapter, not only in terms of their house but also in their community. She has assisted in multiple relocations to Georgia, and as a former teacher, she has been known to introduce future friends as well as pick up on voids that children feel during moving, suggesting the perfect resources for hobbies and activities that help them flourish in a new place. For Shari, the most rewarding part of the job is getting ecstatic notes and texts from former clients who love their new home and community.
A resident of Cumming, Georgia, Shari resides with her husband. She has three grown children, one in high school and two fur babies. Shari is an active member of her community, volunteering in local schools, athletic booster clubs and various service groups. When she’s not working, you will most likely find her attending her children’s sports events, working out, reading or relaxing at the beach.

Testimonials
"My husband and I decided it was time to downsize and sell our beautiful home of 18 years. Shari is such a natural at her job - she made us feel so good about our decision, is an amazing communicator and is on top of things. She is always positive, professional and works extremely well with buyers. The staging company she uses made our house look amazing to sell and we sold in the range we wanted. She has also helped us with the purchase of a new construction home which has gone seamlessly. Her kindness and warm relationships with everyone she works with has earned her so much respect in the industry which goes a long way when you are finalizing details of both a home sale and a home buy. She has gone above and beyond our expectations and I am beyond grateful for having her by our side during this very monumental change in our lives. I'm amazed at how easy she made this on us and I couldn't be happier that she was our REALTOR®. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone I know."
"Shari and Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby's International Realty was about as close to the perfect experience that you could hope for in selling a home. We met with three other REALTORS® and agencies but we clicked with Shari. She was patient, listened to our wants, needs and goals and worked with us through the process. Ultimately, we got exactly what we wanted when selling our home. Shari was helpful and did everything she could to help us maximize our home’s value while being realistic with the market and area. If you are selling a home, do yourself a favor, call Shari. Sell it fast and meet your goals. She is also very nice so that’s a plus."
"Shari both sold our house and helped us find our perfect next home. Shari understands the market, is very process-oriented and is on top of every aspect of the selling and buying process. She's an excellent communicator and she quickly finds solutions to any issue that may come up. She was very trustworthy and always felt she had our best interests in mind. I highly recommend Shari to be your next real estate agent!"
"Shari did an awesome job for us! Making the move from Florida to Georgia was made so much easier by Shari always being available for our calls and visits. She would contact us every day that a home met our needs and wants to make the move; she was very busy as it was a hot market up in northwest Georgia with homes going on the market and selling the same day with multiple offers. She just kept plugging away for us until we found the perfect home for us! We cannot say enough about how great she was always optimistic, happy and energetic. When the day comes for our next move, you can bet she will be part of it. Thank you!"
