Q&A

A: There has been a significant increase in relocations within the film industry and international businesses. I am currently working with film producers and a boutique entertainment law firm based in Atlanta, serving high-profile clients worldwide - VividIP. We are constantly searching for properties all over Georgia, from scenic mountains and lakes to farmland and elegant estates that can replicate locations like Tuscany. I’m always seeking homeowners interested in allowing film production on their properties. Additionally, since 2020, several international businesses have added Georgia to their portfolio, investing in industrial properties, offices, warehouses, and homes for their employees. Atlanta is being praised as a logistical solution between Europe and Asia. One company, after investing in offices in metro Atlanta and commercial properties in Augusta, experienced a 25% growth last year. They’ve already expressed their interest in further real estate investments in the coming years.

Q: Are there any emerging trends or opportunities in land development that you have noticed?

A: I am witnessing a rise in land demand as developers search all over Georgia. Atlanta, with ample expansion opportunities, attracts businesses worldwide, leading to job creation. Custom home builders like Paces Builder Group in Atlanta are in high demand for constructing homes on private lots. I have sellers offering land in North Georgia and prime lakefront lots for custom builders, with buyers interested in timberland and mitigation land. Development activity is increasing, but may not meet the demand soon. Patience is needed while waiting for increased inventory. Seize available opportunities in the meantime.
