MICHAEL MCGAUGHEY
As the father of 6 sons, experience and patience have taught me how to solve problems! As a result, I have enjoyed matching the needs of buyers and sellers. For 25 years I used that talent in the furniture business. After moving from my roots in Atlanta to Rabun County in 2001, I transitioned to the world of real estate. My fondness for these lakes stems from my grandfather, who was one of the original home owners on Lake Rabun in the early 1920’s. Over the last 12 years, I have been fortunate to have risen to be one of the top specialists in the lake market. A few years ago, I felt it was important to start building a real estate Team. At the present, our team has exceeded a sales volume $225 million. My #1 priority is to achieve the highest client satisfaction whether one needs assistance selling or finding the perfect lake home.

CRAIG KETTLES
I love using both sides of my brain and a career in real estate allows me to do just that. After working in Information Technology for both Delta Airlines and IBM, I moved to Rabun County full time in 2001 to shift gears and escape the stress of living in Atlanta. To satisfy my creative strengths, I have worked on countless design projects, with a specialty in kitchen and bath design. My work has been featured in over 30 publications and can be seen in several homes on our lakes. Working as a REALTOR®, I am able to assist Lake Team clients by sharing my vision of a home’s potential. I also excel at data analysis and maintain our proprietary data base of lake sales, enabling me to perform critical quantitative analysis for both our buyers and sellers. With my design background and analytical mind, I can assist you with purchasing a home that will become your dream getaway at the appropriate price point! I pride myself in being direct in an effort to prevent our clients from making costly mistakes. I would be grateful for the opportunity to work with you.

SARAH GILLESPIE
As a Rabun County native, I spent practically every weekend over the summers in my youth boating and playing with friends on our area lakes. Since that time, I have witnessed the lake community transition from simple fishing cabins to multi-million dollar estates. After graduating from Rabun County High School, I moved away from home to attend college. While working my way through school at a technology company, I quickly realized the potential of the Internet. For 17+ years, I enjoyed a successful career in Information Technology. I worked as a consultant with fortune 500 and 100 companies such as Chevron, Information Builders, and the CDC helping them develop and implement internet-based solutions. In my technology career, I negotiated complex contracts, managed large scale projects and solved unique problems. I moved back to Rabun County full time in 2011. After living in many other places including New York City, San Francisco and Houston, I have determined that there truly is no place like home! Our lakes and local community are where generations of families have gathered. Mine has lived in the area for a contiguous 200 years! Whether you are buying or selling, I would be delighted to utilize my varied skills and area knowledge to assist you.
