The first time I discovered Lake Chatuge, locally known as The Lake Chatuge Valley, was in 1974. My family camped a long weekend on the shores of the lake. Little did I know that within two weeks, we would be moving to Hiawassee and enjoying this beautiful valley as a place we would call home.
Looking back now over the six decades I have been blessed to live in this special valley, I realize how fortunate I am. The Real Estate career I chose has been very rewarding, enabling me to help many people from all over the country find their special slice of heaven in the mountains. At present count, I have served over 1,000 clients.
Based upon almost 40 years of Realtor experience, I believe there are Five Key Elements to the successful sale of your home or property in The Lake Chatuge Valley. This book will reveal those Five Keys in great detail. I am available to meet you anytime to discuss how applying these Five Keys, along with my experience and expertise, will lead you to a successful and profitable Real Estate experience.

TRUE LOCAL EXPERTISE
I am a local resident, having lived over 45 years in The Lake Chatuge Valley since the 1970s. Looking back over my life one of the things I feel most blessed about is the opportunity to raise my children around the same lake I grew up on. The fact that The Lake Chatuge Valley offers unsurpassed beauty, a multitude of outdoor opportunities, a small school system where you get to know everyone, and an easy pace of life makes the mountain/lake valley the perfect location to live a quality life!
I was fortunate enough to have hobbies like hunting, fishing, skiing, and backpacking that put me on the lake and deep into the mountains. Between those activities and almost four decades as a Realtor, I have covered just about every mile of Towns and Clay Counties, becoming an expert on the area.
As a teenager, I woke every morning to the view over Lake Chatuge, to a masterpiece of God’s handiwork. I was continually amazed at the changing shades of blue majesty of the Tusquittee Range towering over Lake Chatuge. As a Realtor, I have discovered that I am a relational seller, preferring to build rapport with my clients through shared experiences. A big part of my heart is stamped with the mountain and lake lifestyle that I have lived. It is easy and enjoyable to sell something I love because I am not really selling, I am sharing!

THE OBJECTIVE
Our mutual objective is to sell your home:
FOR THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME WITH THE MOST FAVORABLE TERMS
Prior to implementing any marketing strategies, it is critical to go through a process of discovery - determining the fair market value, understanding the barometer of current market conditions, and reviewing the variety of factors that will help us prepare your home for sale.
ASKING PRICE VS. SELLING PRICE
Strategically pricing your home is vital to getting it sold for the most money in the least amount of time.
Buyer’s
• Price your home too high and you lose buyers.
• Price your home too low and you lose value.
MARKETING FOR MAXIMUM EXPOSURE
Selling your home can be a very exciting experience, but it can also be an emotional one. As a REALTOR®, I have found the best way to sell a home is through partnership and teamwork — combining the understanding of your requirements and goals with my knowledge, expertise, effective marketing strategies, and extensive brokerage resources.
While selling your home can be an emotional process, Todd’s job is to view it also as a business transaction. In fact, he views you as the owner of the business side of your home and Himself as the CEO of the business of selling your home. Todd employs all his skills learned since 1986 to get you the Price you want or More, all the while making this the smoothest Real Estate transaction you have ever experienced.

Your home must become a highly prized item, launched on the market with maximum impact, to create the right exposure and reach the right buyers.

THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
The “Window of Opportunity” is the period in which your home will receive its maximum exposure — typically when your home is new on the market.
In order to capitalize on this window, it is crucially important that your home is ready for sale: priced at Fair Market Value, prepared to showcase its features and attributes, and a marketing strategy is implemented to further increase its exposure. TIME ON MARKET (Weeks)
MAKING THE MOST OF INITIAL INTEREST
MARKETING YOUR LOCATION
According to real estate convention, the three most important criteria to consider when buying a property are: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In fact, buyers are often attracted to a general location, a neighborhood, or even a certain street well before settling on a specific home.
Understanding your location’s positives and negatives are important when determining price, and very significant in the marketing of your home. Misconceptions, preconceptions, and knowing the nuances of your home can make a significant difference in how a home is marketed, when it’s shown, and how it is positioned — one person’s displeasure can be another’s delight!
No one understands the Mountain and Lake Lifestyle better than Todd Turner. He understands the innate desire that moves buyers to pursue the Mountain Lifestyle. Personal and professional experience is what differentiates Todd from the other 100+ Realtors in the Lake Chatuge Valley. Todd has lived the Mountain Lifestyle here since the 1970s. Todd finds it easy to sell what he loves. Todd chose to move back to the Lake Chatuge Valley and sell the Mountain Lifestyle.
PREPARING YOUR HOME
With buyers, first impressions count. A small investment in time and money will give your home an edge over other listings in the area when the time comes to show it to a prospective buyer.
Here are some suggestions that will help you to get top market value:
GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION
• Clean and tidy entrance
• Functional doorbell
• Polished door hardware
CLEAN ATMOSPHERE
• Be absent during showings
• Turn on all lights and music
• Light fireplace and/or candles
• Keep pets contained
CURB APPEAL
• Trim shrubs and lawn
• Touch up exterior paint
THE SPACIOUS LOOK
• Clean stairs and halls
• Store excess furniture
• Neat and tidy closets
• Clear counters and stove
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• Repair leaky fixtures and toilets
• Replace any burned out light bulbs
• Clean windows
SPIC AND SPAN
• Shampoo carpets
• Clean fridge and stove
SHOWING THE HOME
Your home needs to be ‘show ready’ at all times — this can be difficult to balance if you are still living in the home. However, we must ensure preparations are done up front — unnecessary items removed, space has been created, and a plan implemented for the best times to show the home, then the final prep and inviting touches are easy for me to add around your busy schedule.
During the showing, a fully guided tour will be provided to ensure that the features and nuances are showcased and explained to maximize the perception of value.
PROFESSIONAL & STRATEGIC MARKETING
NETWORKING AND REFERRALS
Real estate agents have a large database at their disposal, particularly their networks with other agents. Referrals are especially important in the luxury market, as you will want to work with a wellrespected agent with an extensive network of contacts.
CLHMS DESIGNATION AND MEMBERSHIP
Working with an agent who is fully certified in luxury marketing is critical as you look to maximize the exposure of your home. My knowledge, expertise, and access to a unique and targeted network are second to none.
YARD SIGNS AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE
The trusted yard sign is the #1 way to show your home is for sale. It is fast, effective, and easy to spot. Directional signs help guide people to the home.
LUXURY ADVERTISING
For luxury homes, local advertising is not su fficient - these unique homes need exposure to the elite and discerning. I will showcase your home to these affluent buyers through websites and publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Unique Homes, DuPont Registry, Ocean Homes, The RE/MAX Collection Magazine, and the James Edition.
WEB EXPOSURE
95% of buyers look at homes online as their first step in the home buying process. This trend will continue to increase over time. Placing your home online allows the home’s exposure to be seen locally, nationally, and internationally, whether it is on a computer, tablet, or cell phone.
VIRTUAL TOURS / ONLINE VIDEO MARKETING
Creating a digital experience and footprint is an integral part of advertising in the 21st century.
PROFESSIONAL PRINTING AND DIRECT MAIL
The power of showcasing your home and its unique features through professional photography and sophisticated marketing materials is crucial to setting your home apart from the competition. Professional promotional materials that feature your home and are mailed to your neighbors, buyers, and other REALTORS® are some of the most powerful ways to spread the message that your home is for sale.
Your neighbors will be first to tell their friends and family about your home — they already love their community so they are your biggest advocates!
A PLATFORM FOR 24/7 WEB EXPOSURE
With nearly 95% of home buyers beginning their search on the Internet, we will want to ensure that your home will receive maximum online exposure. As part of my marketing plan, your home will receive unparalleled exposure to consumers and REALTORS® across the globe through my extensive online partnerships.
OVERWHELMING INTERNET PRESENCE
Overwhelming web exposure includes hundreds of real estate sites, social media messaging, and Multiple Listing Service syndiactions.
NETWORKING AND RELATIONSHIP MARKETING
Todd incorporates relationships nurtured over six decades living in the Lake Chatuge Valley to consistently help sellers and buyers. In addition, Todd has over 2,000 Realtors in his database and Realtor Sphere of influence that he markets and communicates with on a regular basis. These relationships built over almost 40 years in the Real Estate profession are invaluable.

5-STAR REVIEWS FROM TODD’S CLIENTS
“Working with Todd was a pleasure. The process of selling our home went very smoothly, and much faster than we expected. He not only told us what to expect, and what he was going to do, HE DID IT! He knew the area, the market, and the process to get the job done. I would highly recommend him for your buying and selling needs.”
- Gary & Shelly, Alabama
“Todd sold our Lake Chatuge house when the market was dead! He never gave up and worked extremely hard for us.”
- Jim & Donis, Atlanta
“Todd’s knowledge of Lake Chatuge was invaluable! He found us the perfect lake home.”
- David & Leah, Atlanta
“Todd is an excellent Realtor. Our property was aged and had not been updated. There were multiple lots involved. He knew the marketplace and brought a very creative approach to selling the house and 3 lots. We received an offer within a few days and closed quickly.”
- Doug, Blairsville, GA
“Todd helped us twice. We bought a home in Hiawassee, and he was able to line up all the pieces needed to make the transaction smooth. The normal items like home inspection, termite, and lot lines. We closed on our house in August. We wanted to purchase the lot next door, and even though it was a smaller sale, he approached it with the same intensity and thoroughness as the house. He grew up there and knows the relevant people needed to take care of the transaction. If you are looking in the Hiawassee area, Todd is the one to work with.”
- Martin & Anna, Atlanta, GA
“The true measure when reviewing anyone who provides a service is, ‘Would I use this person again?’ In the case of Mr. Todd Turner, I would emphatically answer YES! Todd came highly recommended for the sale of my home by a couple close friends and he didn’t disappoint. He offered very solid guidance throughout the entire selling process. He really paid attention to detail, communicated in a timely and effective manner, and executed the final sale perfectly. I counted on Todd and you can too. I recommend him to you whether buying or selling!”
- Pete, Murphy, NC

5-STAR REVIEWS FROM TODD’S CLIENTS
“Todd was recommended to us by a friend for the purchase of our river house. He was great to work with during the negotiations and made the closing process very painless. We are now renovating, and Todd has provided good contacts for local contractors. Highly Recommend!”
- David, Atlanta, GA
“After contacting four Realtors online, Todd was very responsive to our needs and followed up with every question timely. After meeting Todd, he came prepared with multiple options in our price range and was extremely patient with us as we looked at all of the properties. He took our calls at all hours interfering with his personal time when we fully expected to get his voicemail.”
- P.D., South Florida
“Todd persevered through a long, unsuccessful attempt with our first contract that did not make it through the loan process. His expertise kept us informed and our sanity intact. The second contract was successful, and again, Todd’s expertise was a guiding factor throughout the process. I highly recommend Todd to anyone interested in the Northeast Georgia area.”
- Jay, South Georgia
“I really appreciate all the extra little things you did for my dad selling his home. I wish you great success and would be more than happy to be a reference for you with any potential clients.”
- L.R., Newnan, GA
“Todd has handled many transactions for me. He is very professional and knowledgable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for Real Estate in the Lake Chatuge area.”
- Brad, Atlanta, GA
“Todd did an outstanding job in handling the sale of our 2 lake homes in Hiawassee, Georgia. He was very responsive, and his knowledge of the area and the market are excellent. We would highly recommend Todd to handle the sale or purchase of real estate in the Hiawassee area. His recommendations during the pricing negotiations helped us get a fair price and his follow up was timely.”
- Jim & Sheryl, Atlanta

5-STAR REVIEWS FROM TODD’S CLIENTS
“We had lost faith in real estate agents until we met Todd. He brought an unmeasurable amount of value to our real estate transaction. He was thorough throughout the ENTIRE process and never let any of our questions go unanswered. We had several anomalies come up during negotiations that Todd helped us overcome. We consider ourselves lucky to have to met Todd and cannot imagine where we would have ended up without his local expertise on Lake Chatuge.”
- Aaron and Bayli, Athens, GA
“Several years ago Todd had helped my husband and I find our perfect home in the mountains, so when my parents decided to sell their home on Lake Chatuge, we absolutely knew that he was the agent to call. Todd’s experience and knowledge of the lake, dock permitting, surveys, local contractors, and how to work with the TVA is invaluable. My parents had a lot of things and Todd put us in touch with a wonderful estate sale company which made things so much easier for us. Todd has an amazing ability to patiently work through challenging issues with a smile and to find creative solutions. Thank you Todd for your diligence and willingness to go the extra mile to bring our sale to a successful conclusion!”
- Curtis and Lindy, Blairsville, GA
“Todd knows Lake Chatuge. He helped us maximize the potential of our lake lot by suggesting we clear some of the property and get a survey, but most importantly, he guided us through working with the TVA for a dock permit. Not every realtor understands the history of the lake and the importance of knowing the impact of water levels and TVA rights. This is something you don’t want to get wrong. Long before we put this lot on the market, Todd met with us and looked at our property and our home. He researched the market and presented us with several options. We did nothing, but when we contacted him again, he was ready to help us. We needed someone we could trust, someone who would do the work for us. Todd left no stone unturned. Thank you Todd for your diligence, your patience, and your kindness. Thank you for caring about us.”
- Jim and Carol Ina, Hiawassee, GA

“We contracted with Todd Turner to sell our lake home. Todd had exceptional knowledge of the area. He worked well with us. He listened to us and coached us well through the process. The pictures he had taken of our home were wonderful. He advertises well and has a excellent strategy to help you get the most money for your home. He was available. He went above and beyond in helping us sell our lake home. We are very grateful we chose Todd. We would highly recommend Todd if you are buying or selling. He will work for you!”
- Allen & Dana, Atlanta
“Todd did a fantastic job helping us prepare and sell our mom’s house in a month. Everything was smooth as silk despite the fact that we live in Los Angeles and had to travel several times throughout the process. Todd did a super job helping mom and us remotely sign her contracts and gave us timely progress updates. We highly recommend you work with Todd Turner if you get a chance.”
- Don, Los Angeles, California
“Todd was our agent for selling our lake home, and he was fantastic throughout the entire process! I don’t normally write reviews, and I have generally high standards with regard to services I receive but I was motivated to write this review because Todd really excels at his profession! He was expertly familiar with the market, and he used comprehensive statistics as well as experience to guide us regarding proper pricing, expectations, timing and what we could do to maximize marketability. Todd went above and beyond throughout the process, including advertising our home, checking on it for us, coordinating with buyer agents, keeping us well-informed and advising us on decisions. He stayed on top of everything after we had a contract, right up through closing, including follow-up afterward as well. On top of everything else, Todd is a really great person too. We couldn’t have been happier!”
