NATALIE BLALOCK

Meet Natalie

With more than $100 million in sales since her real estate career began in 2016, Natalie Blalock is a 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 Top Producer with the Atlanta REALTORS® Association. Additionally, she ranks in the Top 5% of agents within the association. Natalie embodies the true character of a driven real estate professional, as she believes communication and goal-setting are top priorities in this industry.

Prior to real estate, Natalie pursued an eight-year profession in the fashion industry, where she was the No. 1 seller in Georgia and top 10 in the southern region for Nordstrom. With her extensive experience in management and personal styling, Natalie prides herself on listening to her clients’ needs first and foremost and acting on those needs promptly and effectively. In both fashion and real estate, Natalie has a reputation for treating her clients like family and delivering results beyond expectations.

Natalie realized her passion for real estate when she and her husband purchased their first home in Brookhaven. She knew then that it was time to take a leap of faith and follow her dreams. As an Atlanta native and a University of Georgia graduate, Natalie possesses invaluable knowledge about Metro Atlanta and can provide her clients with an unparalleled experience. She loves witnessing her clients realize they have found “the one” and watching them bring a renovation vision to life!

Natalie and her husband, Chad, live in beloved Ashford Park while they complete construction on their new Johns Creek home. Joining Natalie and Chad are their daughter, Berkeley, son, Pace, and their Goldendoodle, Bailey. In her limited spare time, Natalie stays active, as she loves playing tennis weekly with her ACC ladies, attending her early morning workouts with FitHAVEN in Brookhaven and cheering on the Dawgs at UGA football games. She enjoys trying new Atlanta restaurants and all things 30A. However, her greatest passion in life is being a mom and spending time with her family!

Client Testimonials

“Natalie is top in her business for a reason. She always has her clients’ interests at the top of her list. Her responsiveness is incredible, and she is always there when you need her. She has incredible connections in the Atlanta area and found my dream home before it went on the market. She’s with you every step of the way through the buying and selling process. She helped me find a great buyer for my home too. Natalie will be there for you and will support your dreams. Thanks, Natalie, for all you did for me.”

Allyson Young | Smyrna

“Natalie represented us on the buyer’s side and seller’s side, and we could not have been happier with both outcomes. She is an absolute force to be reckoned with at the negotiating table! She helped us purchase and sell our starter home and has now helped us land our dream home to raise our expanding family in. Natalie is thorough, always on the ball and most importantly, trustworthy. She excels in all aspects of the real estate transaction process, and we could not recommend her more highly. You want her on your team!”

David Ebinger | Dunwoody

“Working with Natalie to buy and sell was a wonderful decision! Natalie was super knowledgeable about the area we wanted to buy in, and she constantly had feelers out for us to find great options in an uber-competitive market. When we chose to terminate a contract due to inspection reasons, Natalie was extremely patient, understanding and guided us through the process. There was never any pressure to continue with something we weren’t comfortable with. She ended up helping us secure our dream home AND sold our home before it ever hit the market. I would recommend contacting Natalie for buying or selling!”

Matt and Brittany Curl | Brookhaven

“We were looking for a second home in the Atlanta area. Natalie was excellent. She understood what we were looking for and knew which areas to look in and to avoid. She found us a condo in downtown Alpharetta since she knew we wanted walkability. She negotiated our contract, handled all of the closing conditions and even helped us line up some remodeling. We highly recommend her.”

James Moore | Alpharetta

“Working with Natalie was an absolute dream! I had several offers on my home, and Natalie helped me assess and analyze each offer and how they compared using her spreadsheet – this made the process so easy. Natalie does her research and covers all of the bases so thoroughly during the sale of a home. This made the selling of our home of 45 years a smooth process.”

Pamela Tomaszewski | Brookhaven

“We have done many real estate transactions over the past years, and Natalie Blalock was by far the most responsive and diligent agent we have ever had. Natalie helped us sell our Brookhaven townhome. She did a comprehensive market assessment to guide us in setting the sales price and consistently provided us timely feedback after each showing. She does her homework and knows the market well. We cannot recommend her highly enough and would definitely use Natalie again if we had an opportunity to do so. She’s the best!”

Bill and Debbie Moore | Brookhaven

“We had Natalie as our agent selling our home. Her knowledge of the market was top notch! Her kind and calming nature was a blessing in the ever-changing Atlanta market. She helped us walk through some simple updates to the home in order to assist in selling. Natalie checked in with us frequently and kept us updated. We got a full-price offer. Natalie was a blessing, love her!”

Stephen Sotak | Atlanta

Virtual Staging

Virtual staging is the transformation of a single photo into a uniquely virtually staged scene to make listings that are not furnished or in need of a refresh look more appealing. Virtually staged photos can be used for online marketing exposure on sothebysrealty.com, Apple TV, SIR Mobile, and will also be sent to the brand’s syndication channel partners. Any property can be transformed using virtual staging technology.

Buyer Representation

MARKET EXPERTISE

As a REALTOR®, I have access to a wealth of information about the local real estate market. I give my clients insights into neighborhood trends, property values and market conditions, helping them make informed decisions.

ACCESS TO LISTINGS

I have access to FMLS and GeorgiaMLS databases, which contain a comprehensive list of properties for sale, allowing me to find homes that meet your criteria and preferences quickly.

NEGOTIATION SKILLS

As a skilled negotiator, I navigate my clients through the negotiation process, ensuring they get the best possible deal on the property. When multiple offers are in play, experience matters.

GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PROCESS

Buying a home involves a series of complex steps, from making an offer to closing the deal. I guide my clients through each step, ensuring they meet all deadlines, complete the necessary paperwork and understand the transaction terms.

NETWORK OF PROFESSIONALS

My network of professionals includes mortgage brokers, inspectors, real estate attorneys and more. I recommend trusted individuals and coordinate with these experts to streamline the buying process.

LEGAL PROTECTION

Real estate transactions involve a significant amount of legal paperwork. I help navigate my buyers through contracts, disclosures and other documents, reducing the risk of legal issues down the line.

OBJECTIVE ADVICE

Emotions often run high when buying a home. I provide my buyers with objective advice, helping them make decisions based on facts rather than emotions.

SAVE TIME AND EFFORT

Searching for a home can be time-consuming and overwhelming. I streamline the process by identifying properties that match your criteria, scheduling showings, and handling many logistical aspects of the homebuying process.

CONTINUED SUPPORT

Even after the sale is complete, I provide ongoing support and assistance. Whether you have questions about homeownership, need recommendations for local services or plan to sell in the future, I am here for you!
