We have been in business since 2001 and have many happy clients. Don’t just believe us – Read what our clients have to say about us: My wife and I loved working with Jennifer Anderson with the Sheila Davis Group! Our journey was NOT simple but throughout the process of selling AND buying, Jennifer Anderson and Sheila Davis herself never rested. The attention to detail, the communication and valuable insight has truly been a blessing for us. I highly recommend this team. I would give 10 stars if I could. We highly recommend Jennifer as your next Realtor. We looked at selling our house 10 years ago and used a different company and didn’t have any success over several months and this year we chose Jennifer and the Sheila Davis Group, and they got it sold before it officially went on the market. She gave us great advice on prepping our house for sale and it really paid off. We got above the asking price and a fantastic family bought our home. Jennifer did a great job of constantly communicating with us, and helping us all the way through the process. Michelle Sparks is a guardian angel. No, I really mean it. She watches over you, and she knows what you need even before you know you need it. As a single woman, buying my first home, I can tell you that she made what could have been a stressful financial situation full of joy and peace. Michelle puts relationships first and is successful because of it. She guides and assists before, during, and after the transaction and is well connected to a network of professionals that help new homeowners because she is so relational. I have never met anyone who combines knowledge and confidence with sweet southern charm in a way that makes everyone want to resolve any issue during a transaction. I can also share that she swooped in and sold a friend of mine’s house in mere days after another agent failed to do so in six months. Go with Michelle! you won’t regret it! I had a truly fantastic experience with Jennifer and the Sheila Davis team when they sold our lake house. They worked diligently and efficiently, resulting in a remarkably quick sale. Throughout the process, their professionalism and courteousness were truly commendable. What impressed me the most was their unwavering commitment to follow through on every aspect of the transaction. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Jennifer and the Sheila Davis team when it comes time to sell your lake property. They are simply the best in the business! Michelle Sparks helped my husband and I buy a new home in Gainesville. Michelle was always professional, knows the area very well, and never made us feel rushed. We are relocating from another state and could not have worked with a better agent. Michelle had the answers to all of our questions and went above and beyond. She helped with resources for painting, cleaning and assisted with schedules since we were not local. I would highly recommend Michelle to help you with your next home or land purchase. Michelle Sparks was my selling agent for my home in Gainesville GA. She is now a friend and my Forever Realtor. Mrs. Sparks is an amazing woman and a spectacular agent. She communicated with me throughout the process, gently guided me with choices that resulted in a full price offer on our home within weeks. Michelle staged and virtually staged my home, had amazing photographs presented to show the property at its best and she networked to find the right buyers. There is no reason to ever buy a property without an agent but Michelle Sparks at Sheila Davis Group renewed my faith in just how hassle free the RIGHT Seller’s Agent can make this. She has ALL the connections and well.. She’s just Amazing. I’m a friend, a fan, and a customer for life. We can’t thank Sheila enough for her time, professionalism, and hard work! She is the best for selling lake homes! Five stars are not enough! Thanks again, Sheila! The Petrides Family We want to thank Michelle Sparks for working with us these past months. She is the epitome of professionalism and knowledge. She went beyond to help us on our journey to finding a home base. Thank you Michelle, we are forever grateful! The Perez Family Michelle Sparks of the Norton Agency was very helpful in the sale of my home in Cumming and the purchase of my new home in Gainesville. I would highly recommend her. Michelle was very good at communicating with me and helping me through the process of negotiating sale and purchase prices, the home inspection process, and answering any questions I had, etc. My wife and I recently closed on a property and Michelle Sparks was our realtor and we were incredibly pleased with the professional service provided. She was always responsive. If not available will return our phone call promptly with answers of all of our questions. Michelle is polite, professional, and very dedicated to her job, understands in detail sales / purchasing process and documentations with an eye on important details. We will work with her on our next purchase or sale. In addition, she will be a great asset for every client in the real estate market. We recently purchased a home on Lake Lanier with the help of Jennifer Anderson from the Sheila Davis Group. Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable about the Lanier market and was able to find exactly what we were looking for. She was professional, organized, and always responsive with excellent communication throughout the process. She has great contacts in the area that were able to provide all the services needed. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a Lanier home. I can’t speak highly enough of Stephanie Gillespie as our real estate agent. Her professionalism, honesty, and hard work made our whole process run as smoothly as possible. We have used her as our agent many times and will definitely use her again. Her knowledge of the North Hall community and surrounding areas as well as Lake Lanier helped us find exactly what we were looking for each time. I can’t recommend Nicole enough, and I fully credit her for finding our dream lake home. Still be looking at Zillow without her. From sourcing the property, to guidance along the way, we closed in record time. Top shelf service. If you’re looking for a lake home on or around Lanier – look no further. Nicole is such a wonderful agent! She is so passionate about her work and is very knowledgeable about the about the market. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an agent in the Lake Lanier area! Nicole is a very sharp young lady. We had a short time frame to find a house and the first realtor we tried could not keep up with our pace. Nicole exceeded our pace, really listened to our needs, found us the perfect house, and did all of this in our short time frame. She made sure we had a smooth closing and to this day keeps in touch. We would definitely recommend her to anybody looking to buy or sell their house! Nicole is the only agent I would trust with my business in the Lake Lanier area. With her attention to detail, strong knowledge of the area, and impressive negotiation skills, she will always go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of during, and after your purchase. With her large presence in the community, she has a wealth of resources and knowledge available to anyone who needs her assistance. I could not recommend her more! The Sheila Davis Group and Linda Thompson are just the best. The most thorough and professional relators that we have ever had the pleasure of working with. They go above and beyond for their clients. Our home had 2 contracts in 10 days. Finding a new home with Linda was a smooth and enjoyable process. We highly recommend the Sheila Davis Group and Linda Thompson for all of your real estate needs! Dear prospective homeowners, It is our pleasure to recommend Linda Thompson as your realtor. We worked with Linda and found the perfect home for our family. She went above and beyond to make sure that the search was easy and thorough for our family with a young toddler. Linda communicated with us through every step of the process, and made sure that we were getting what we needed and wanted. We had a large wish list, and our new home exceeds any expectations we had. Linda always represented our best interest, and we could not be happier with the relationship we have with her and the outcome of this process. While looking for my new home I had the pleasure of working with my agent, Linda Thompson. Her expertise, authenticity, and patience made all the difference. She worked diligently researching, keeping me informed, following through on every commitment, supporting and encouraging me throughout the process. Looking for the last two years with no success until we contacted Jennifer Anderson. She worked hard, did an excellent job of communication and giving us the latest updates to find us our new perfect house on Lake Lanier. It is so demanding to sell a house and then buy another one, Jennifer was there though out the whole process, providing advice and guidance. Jennifer helped tremendously with keeping us on track. We have bought and sold several homes and we can say Jennifer is the best realtor we have worked with. And through this whole process we are glad to say we gained a friend. If/when we need a realtor again, we will definitely call Jennifer. Thank you, Jennifer! We highly recommend Sheila Davis with The Norton Agency in Gainesville,Ga. She listed and quickly sold our Lake Lanier lake house we had owned for 40 years. The process from the beginning, when we 1st met, until the closing ran very smoothly. She exhibited the utmost care, concern and knowledge. With her lake experience and online presence Sheila is a real pro! Sheila Davis Group of the Norton Agency, and, in particular, Realtor Michelle Sparks, provided exceptional service and guidance throughout the entire process of selling our home on Lake Lanier in 2022. Sheila and Michelle spent significant time with us even before we listed our home with them. They offered practical advice about how to position our home for sale, which we took and was very effective (and inexpensive). Michelle was our primary contact, organized our open houses and dealt with all of the interaction with the buyer’s side of the transaction. She was responsive, courteous, professional, thoughtful, kind, realistic, honest and fair. She was a good listener and offered sound advice. We are so grateful to Michelle and Sheila for helping us sell on home. From beginning to end, it was a great experience. We highly recommend Michelle and Sheila Davis Group. SERVICE EXTRAORDINAIRE! We came into town for only a day or so to look around at lake houses on Lake Lanier. We were also going to check out other lakes in other states. We called the Sheila Davis Group of the Norton Agency and Jennifer Anderson met with us within the hour! She spent all weekend with us! She was very knowledgeable and exceptionally friendly. After working with Jennifer, we decided to stop looking at other lake areas. She found us the perfect home and we found, in her, a new friend! We strongly recommend Jennifer Anderson if you are thinking of selling and/or buying your home. We will most definitely use her again! Thank you Jennifer! Jennifer Anderson was the agent my husband and I chose to help us find a lake home. She was very knowledgeable about the particulars of Lake Lanier properties, dock permits and Corp of Engineers regulations. Jennifer was very strategic with the offers that we made on homes through our process, and she worked diligently with the selling agent and our lender to make sure all the bases were covered. She helped us “win” the perfect fit and we are very happy with the results. My husband and I highly recommend Jennifer Anderson! Jennifer Anderson was my realtor when I purchased my home on Lake Lanier, GA. I am moving from Virginia to be closer to my daughter and also live on one of the most beautiful lakes in the Southeast. Jennifer made my transition to living on Lake Lanier a joy! Her consistent positive attitude and professional competence is unmatched. I am a retired U.S. Air Force officer and Georgia is the fourth state in which I have purchased a home. Jennifer Anderson is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with! When Jennifer says she is going to do something, it happens, and always in a timely manner. I consider Jennifer and her husband John my first new friends in Georgia, and when I need a realtor in the future, Jennifer is the first person I will call. Very sincerely, We interviewed several realtors when we decided to sell our lake house in Gainesville, GA. Sheila was the last one we interviewed, and she was so knowledgeable and helpful answering all our questions, we immediately felt comfortable and hired her to be our agent. She did everything she told us she was going to do, plus more. She made the process of selling our home so easy. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We trusted her with the home we had lived in for 32 years, and she delivered first class service and sold our home quickly. Thanks Sheila for a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely use you again if we have any real estate needs My wife and I chose Sheila Davis of The Norton Agency to list our Lake Lanier home. After speaking with her within the first 5 minutes we knew there was no one else we wanted to represent us as a listing agent. Sheila is eons ahead of her competitors when it comes to her knowledge, professionalism, and marketing skills. Her online presence is also matched by no one in the Lake Lanier market. If you are selling a home in & around the Lake Lanier area you would be remiss not to hire The Sheila Davis Group Of The Norton Agency. Stephanie was awesome! She helped us through a complicated transaction of selling two homes and buying a new home. I felt like she got us a more than fair price on the two houses we sold and helped us get a great deal on the house we bought. She handled it all so easily. Stephanie Gillespie continues to go above and beyond what is expected to help me, as a buyer, find the perfect home. She is pleasant to deal with and takes the time to listen to what her client’s needs are so that she can direct them to the right home that would be a fit.

We’ll definitely use you again if we have any real estate needs. When it was time for us to sell our home on Lake Lanier we didn’t know who we should use as our Realtor, so we interviewed several Real Estate groups. We hired Sheila Davis and Linda Thompson from The Norton Group because they were so professional and understanding during the interview process. They did a great job of evaluating our home and setting the selling price. They were very helpful in staging our home for sale that we sold in about 10 days, and closed a month later. Linda Thompson was amazing thru the entire process and my wife and I feel as though we made a new friend in Linda. If you are looking at selling your home, I would strongly suggest talking to The Sheila Davis Group and Linda Thompson. Nicole is a rare gem. She’s super smart and savvy aligned with world-class charm. Nicole only saw the value and opportunity with our property vs. any gaps and flaws. A lake house without a dock was a negative with most Realtor’s, but not Nicole. She created a positive strategy for our niche buyer and it paid off. Unlike others, she didn’t recommend a low ball sale price for that quick transaction. She listens and brings much to the table! Thank you Nicole! We are thrilled with the outcome. Will call on you again! My wife and I have purchased 9 homes in numerous states through the years. We have dealt with an abundance of realtors considering two realtors are involved with each purchase not to mention all the realtors we encountered in our numerous house searching. We can say without any doubt Linda Thompson, with the Sheila Davis Group of Norton Agency, is at the top of the list as an outstanding realtor! We recently used Linda to purchase a house in Georgia while we resided in Pennsylvania. Linda showed houses by video and we purchased a house without ever seeing the house. We put our faith in Linda and she helped us search for over a year during the Covid pandemic. She wanted to help us find the perfect house but not to overpay for a property. She made sure during the diligence period that everything stayed on track and we were protected. Linda’s service does not end with the signing of a contract or the closing of a property. Buying a house from Pennsylvania during a pandemic took a lot of work on Linda’s part or else we could not have succeeded. And Linda continues to help even today with things which are needed while we transition to Georgia. Linda is an absolute pleasure to work with. Michelle Sparks is a very professional realtor and we highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home. She went above and beyond to help us purchase our home. We will definitely call her again in the future for our real estate needs. Professional, personable, and someone who gets the job done! Our parents’ home sold quickly and Michelle Sparks made the process easy for our family. We listed our house for sale and bought a new one. Jennifer was our agent for both. During the process she did an excellent job of communication and giving us the latest updates. With all of the staging, packing, getting ready for showings, offers, contracting and all of the other stuff, Jennifer was there to provide advice and guidance. Despite some bumps in the road and some unforeseen challenges she provided us guidance and was proactive in communicating with us and was also a reassuring voice. We have bought and sold several homes and we can say without a doubt Jennifer is the best realtor we have ever worked with. And through this whole process we are glad to say we gained a friend. If/when we need a realtor again, we will definitely call Jennifer. Thank you Jennifer. Michelle Sparks did an amazing job working with us from start to finish! I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted or where I wanted to be on the lake, and she was so patient and understanding. We looked at a lot of lots and homes over a couple of months. Michelle was incredibly proactive in sending listings our way and responsive in getting showings scheduled very quickly in this very hot seller’s market. We closed on our lake home yesterday and are very happy. Michelle was by our side the entire time and it was a pleasure doing business with her. We highly recommend Michelle and this agency for any residential real estate needs! From the first call to the closing we could not have been happier! We put our home on the market and then left to go out of town for 2 weeks. Michelle Sparks was so kind and helpful through out the entire process and willing to help with anything we needed. Our realtor, Jen Anderson, did an amazing job! It’s a tough market with multiple competitive offers on almost every house, but she was able to sell our offer and make us stand out above everyone else. As first time home-owners, they were also great with helping us understand everything and walking us through the process. Positive: Quality, Responsiveness Jennifer worked very hard finding us the perfect home and when we found it, she really went to bat selling us to the previous owners of the home. It was a pleasure working with her and we would absolutely recommend any other first-time home buyers to work with her. We were starting the process of placing our home on the market and the 1st realtors we met with was Sheila Davis & Linda Thompson of The Norton Group. They asked us a series of questions and then told us about themselves and The Norton Group. They were very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about Lake Lanier homes and the US Army CORPS regulations. They brought various comps and we went through them all. There was no time frame. They were not rushed to get to another appointment. We felt very comfortable. We did the walk through and explained different parts of the home. Linda was taking thorough notes as we did the walk through. We went back to the table as we were interested in what they felt was a good market value for our home. We agreed with their assessment as it was higher than what we had anticipated. We had planned to interview other realtors; however, after spending the time with Sheila & Linda we knew that was not needed. One of the conditions of giving them our listing is we did not want a sign in front of the home as well as a lock box. They agreed and we signed the papers on the same day. The pictures and the videos were top notch and provided a great overview of our home. Linda was extremely communicative. She always provided 24 hours’ notice before a showing. She arrived early to the appointments. She was responsive to every question. She checked in often. She provided feedback after each showing whether it was positive or negative. We never had to worry. And all of this was during COVID. I would highly recommend utilizing Linda Thompson and The Norton Agency for selling your home. Working with Michelle Sparks was such a pleasant experience. We had many questions throughout the process and Michelle was always quick to respond. Her calm demeanor made me feel less stressed and more comfortable. Her knowledge of the area and professionalism simplified our home purchase and experience. I would highly recommend Michelle Sparks.

Linda is one of the most intelligent persons I have ever worked with. On several occasions when there would be an issue that needed immediate attention, by the time I called her back, the problem had been addressed. She is always kind and attentive. She also finds ways to keep her client from feeling overwhelmed. Were we still in the Gainesville area, I would use Linda Thompson and the Sheila Davis Group. These women are sharp as the ole proverbial tack and get the job done. Smart, beautiful and effective: who could want more than that from their realtor? Thank you Michelle for all your hard work! Highly recommend contacting Michelle for all your real estate needs – responsive, fair, professional, quick results, quick closing, great negotiating skills! Michelle Sparks was amazing to work with, from beginning to end. She is such a hard worker and incredibly knowledgeable of the area. She is a fantastic listener, very detail oriented, extremely patient and so kind. She has a way of making you feel like you are her only client. She handled all of the stressful moments in such a calm way, it helped us to stay calm. She is very good at what she does and I would highly recommend using her as your realtor. I am so thankful that we did!! Agent, Michelle Sparks provided Awesome service as very honest and professional! I highly recommend and greatly appreciate Sheila Davis. She and her entire team are very knowledgeable, caring, hard working, and did an incredible job selling our home on Lake Lanier. Thank you very much Sheila. Tommy T Sheila Davis is the most professional and effective person I have worked with in several fields. Within 60 days of describing my objectives to her she had contracts in place to accomplish them all. And it was done with no fanfare or delay. I was out of the lake house and into my preferred alternative community on schedule. My interactions with her team were all pleasant and effective. This Group is an outstanding credit to The Norton Agency, It has been a pleasure, my friend. Thank you and God Bless! J. Price We worked with Michelle Sparks at Sheila Davis Group to buy our home and it was a great experience! We are from out of state and had limited time and a lot of ground to cover. Michelle was prepared, informative, flexible and on top of it every step of the way. She understood what we were looking for and offered great advice. She took care of many details and was very helpful meeting contractors and inspectors at the property. She took ownership of the process and made it easy for us. We highly recommend Michelle and Sheila Davis Group when you are purchasing a home. K. Gomez Jennifer Anderson, Realtor with the Sheila Davis Group, has a great personality and is very professional. She kept me informed every step of the way. She made the experience of selling my home very easy. My home was sold the day after putting it on the market! Jeanne A. Sheila Davis did a great job selling our home on the lake. She was prompt in keeping us current on showings and gave us valuable feedback on what prospective purchasers thought about the home. Given her experience on the lake front properties, her patience with the whole family during the process, I would use her again and highly recommend her services. Charles R. Sheila was excellent in every way. We had a very complex property and she was very proactive in helping us get to a closing. I can not express my appreciation for her work ethic and professional manner enough. I highly recommend her and her team for anyone looking to sell or buy on Lake Lanier. Reid K. Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Sheila Davis was great. She helped us sell our home in a short time. She went out of her way to make us comfortable with the process and help to make the sale go through. We highly recommend her, especially for Lake property. S. DeBrincat. Michelle Sparks, my Realtor at the Norton Agency was great! She was very helpful and patient with all my first-home-buying questions! Insightful and professional – I never had to worry! Would definitely recommend! J. Miller Sheila was very professional and handled everything from presenting my home, answering questions from buyers about life on the lake, and making sure I understood everything at closing! Shelia Davis was amazing to work our from start to finish! She is very knowledgeable about Lake Lanier and was always quickly available to answer any questions. We also had to delay closing two times because of our lender, and she made sure the seller understood why and always made it a smooth transition. We will use Shelia in the future to sell or buy a home and highly recommend her and her very qualified staff. A.T. Sheila and her team were great to work with, and it very easy to list and sell my home. She was very prepared with comps, and brought a great deal of professionalism to the process. Best yet, my home sold in a few days for a price we were very happy with! I’d recommend Sheila’s services without hesitation! Tim H. Sheila is truly the best in the business. You won’t find anyone else that has the experience and hard work that Sheila brings to the table. Sheila represented the seller when I was buying a large home on Lake Lanier, in the future I will be using Sheila. She is always available, she can take a stressful situation and make it calm, and she is very transparent. A class act through and though! James N. Michelle and Sheila were very thorough and kept us informed from list to closing! I would highly recommend them! Janet T. Are you looking for someone honest? Someone who will bend over backwards to find you the house of your dreams? Someone who will never judge your crazy because, let’s be honest…house buying is quite possibly the most crazy thing any of us will ever do and it will bring out a side of you even YOU won’t recognize? Then look no further than Michelle Sparks w/the Sheila Davis Group! My husband and I happened to be out for a Saturday scouting trip, thinking in the next few years we’d like to move “towards the lake”. Fast forward 3 short months…a random phone call on a Saturday morning linking us to Michelle…and we found ourselves signing our names on the dotted line of an absolutely fabulous home! We had a LOT of issues after the settlement process. Lots of drama with the sellers…but the silver lining and the bright part of ALL of it…was Michelle. She went and even STILL goes above and beyond to make sure life in our new home is amazing, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her. A LOT of realtors (sorry!) can be “wolves in sheep’s clothing” in my mind. We’ve met a lot of them. But Michelle…she is someone you can trust, someone who will become a part of your family, and someone who will give everything she has to make your dreams come true. If I haven’t convinced you yet, I almost want to post my personal information to talk to you about her in person. She is the best of the best…hands. Down. R Po Thank you! You guys were an absolute pleasure to work with! Vincent & Markie Michelle Sparks was a joy to work with! She gave us information about each house we visited and began to get a sense of our style after the first two houses. What makes Michelle stand out is that she offered her opinion when we asked for it but never tried to sell us on a house we did not like. We will be calling Michelle for all of our home buying needs in the future. Thanks Michelle, you are awesome! Nick H Sheila Davis and the Sheila Davis Group just sold our lake Lanier home! We have never experienced a more professional, hands-on, attention to detail, Group of Realtors! From the initial listing meeting, all the way through to our close, Sheila was there to make suggestions, incorporate our ideas, ensure our home was show-ready, and field our numerous questions about the whole process. We could not be happier with the results! There’s a reason they are the number one sales group for Lake Lanier homes! Look no further, you will be in good hands! Chuck & Mary G. Sheila provided excellent customer service and guided me through all the details to help me sell my home. I really appreciate that she didn’t try to under price my home just to make a quick sale! Even so, it sold in two days! I am a happy customer! Thank you Sheila! Jane D. Michelle Sparks enthusiasm was evident from the first time we met. Her patience and willingness to answer so many questions helped us throughout the selling process. She took care of so many details and stayed actively engaged until the sale was finalized. Several times she met inspectors or contractors at the property when we were not able to be present. Thank you Michelle! Gene B. As a first time home buyer working with Nicole Columbo exceeded all my expectations. Buying a home can be a stressful experience but she made it straightforward and enjoyable. She is knowledgeable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with her time (including mornings, evenings, and weekends over the course of several months). She answered every question, explained every form and part of the process clearly and thoroughly. We highly recommend her! Our Realtor, Nicole Columbo was awesome in listing and selling our Lake Lanier home. Her photographers were wonderful. We were under contract in 48 hours! Highly recommend Nicole and the Sheila Davis Group team. Looking forward to working with Nicole again! Cindy H. Thank you Sheila Davis and Cindy Ballard! We have been looking at lake properties for over a year and half and finally found the perfect little “diamond in the rough”. It was a crazy busy time scheduling-wise with other things going on in our lives and Sheila and Cindy were solid as a rock for us with the real estate deal – meeting inspectors and contractors, answering questions, negotiating, and helping us keep the whole deal on track. And the entire time, they both kept smiling. We would absolutely use the Sheila Davis group again and we would recommend them to anyone. Joanna C. We were fortunate enough to work with Realtor, Stephanie Gillespie to try to find our dream home on the lake. She listened to what we were looking for, found it, guided us through the process and walked us through the close. The experience went so well that we asked her to help us sell the existing home we were in and she did so 24 hrs after it was listed. Highly knowledgeable and professional and a great person. I would recommend her to any and all. Dave S. Professional, polite, knowledgeable – Shelia Davis!! From our first meeting until closing (55 days!), Shelia handled our listing flawlessly. It was a pleasure working with her! olemiss90 Cindy Ballard was so wonderful to work with… She communicated very well and was always available to answer any question we had. She was so professional and kept us up to date with everything regarding the purchase of our new lake house. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to lake properties! Thank you for everything you did with the house! We appreciate your professionalism and your understanding of our situation. John B. Thank you so much, Cindy, for your guidance, professionalism and most of all, your patience working with Bob and I. I’m very excited about my new house and know there will be many, many happy memories shared within its walls, both inside and outside. This could be a record, see the house, decide it’s the one, put in a contract, original offer accepted all within a little over 4 hours! Thank you so much for staying on top of houses for me, and more so, for taking the time to make sure that I got what was “right” for me! Things happen for reasons, this was truly one that the Lord blessed me with! Stay in touch, and thanks for everything! So appreciated. Susie ❤ Polite and professional, Sheila and I became acquainted when she successfully sold a neighboring lake home several times. She was always very willing to discuss market value of my home even knowing I wasn’t necessarily planning to list. When the time came to sell my Lake Lanier home she didn’t disappoint even when we experienced some craziness from a potential buyer. She also has a strong team behind her. Will M. We’ve known Sheila for a long time. She has advised us and our clients throughout the years and I have sent her several referrals in past years. More recently, Sheila provided our family with an exceptional experience. She possesses remarkable local market knowledge. She advised us on the trade-off between improvements on our house versus the value of purchasing in another neighborhood. Her advice led us to explore the local market which led to the purchase of an exceptional property. She negotiated on our behalf, helped making sure appraisal values reflected the local market, helped with property inspection and negotiating the price thereafter, once again, leading to a great purchase value. She did a great job in understanding the emotional estate of seller and buyer and worked to make the transaction take place in an amenable and graceful manner – nicely done! We would not hesitate to recommend Sheila. Carlos D. Sheila Davis? Superstar in every regard! Just 58 days from listing to closing. Sheila provided a level of service and professional attention to detail we’ve never experienced before in a real estate transaction. Simple, smooth, start to finish. If you want it done right on Lake Lanier – Sheila Davis Group is the only way to go! J. Gardner Nicole did an amazing job helping me to both sell and buy a home! She works very hard and does a great job! She made the whole process very easy, I was never worried about missing a step because she helped me along the whole way and made sure I knew what to expect the whole time for both the selling and buying process. I would highly recommend using her! M. Bertolino Nicole Columbo was a pleasure to work with in the sale of our lake house. She was always willing to go the extra mile to make showings a breeze for all involved. She was available for questions and concerns that came up, and always looked out for our best interests as her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the market for a great real estate agent. M. Moorehead Sheila was very patient with us. She knew exactly what we were looking for and kept her eyes and ears open and helped us find the perfect home. We did pay a fair price because of her negotiations. This is our third deal with Sheila as our Realtor and she continues to go above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend her to all of our friends. B. Brooke My Realtor, Stephanie Gillespie helped me out a great deal. She was aggressive and helped me locate a property and contact a seller who was very busy and hard to reach. She kept in touch, kept me tuned in to all important aspects of the transaction, and took care of all the details and made the buying experience so much easier than it otherwise would have been. M. Farmer After an unsuccessful attempt to sell our home through another agency, we listed our home with Sheila Davis. She is very knowledgeable about Lake Lanier and its residential neighborhoods. She is an active member of the Lake Lanier Association which shows her dedication to lake living. Sheila, honestly and knowledgeably, answered our questions about selling price and other issues, not just giving answers she thought we wanted to hear. She was aggressive in helping us stage our house (we had already moved and taken most of the furnishings with us) and advertised extensively. She and her team were very comfortable with the special features of our house (pool, waterfall, etc) and one of them was always on site to turn features on/off and to answer questions, but not to interfere with a potential buyer’s visit. Sheila was very patient and helpful as we nervously went through to contract and closing processes. We enjoyed working with the Sheila Davis Group and recommend them to others hoping to sell a home on or near Lake Lanier. P. Gracey Shelia Davis was a pleasure to work with. She was always in contact with us and the status of the sale and closing. She helped take some of the stress out of selling our home. Thank you Joseph C. Sheila and her team were great. They provided an honest opinion regarding the value of the home with well researched support. Throughout the process they provided sound advice and were very responsive to any request. T. Wesley Our experience with the Shelia Davis Group was wonderful! We had looked online and selected 8 homes that we wanted to look at. We contacted Shelia and she immediately got a date and times to for us to look at the homes. We found the lake home we wanted. Sheila was very helpful in making the purchasing process simple and enjoyable. Dave & Dan Sheila and her team are awesome. She sold both of my Lake Lanier properties very quickly. And the process was very easy. I would recommend Sheila to all my friends. Top notch marketing and listing services and just a really really nice person to work with. We could not have been happier! James R. We contacted Sheila Davis because of her knowledge and experience of Lake homes. She did not disappoint! Without starting any renovations or even having any idea of what new home we wanted, we were able to find a new house, negotiate a crazy long contingency period, do major renovations on our house, list it and close on both in the time frame that we were shooting for. With the renovations, long contract length, and then quick closing, there were some bumps in the road that Sheila and her team handled and navigated us through even right up to closing. We are in our new home in time for school and couldn’t be happier! Matt & Kelly D. We had a great experience working with Shelia Davis when we purchased a lake cottage on Lake Lanier! She was very professional and responsive to all our questions. She did a lot of due diligence on the property so it made it much easier for us to make a quick decision to make an offer on the property. There was another offer right behind ours and I have to credit Shelia for advising us to make a quick decision. Shelia did a great job on listing and marketing the property. We really liked the video with the aerial view that we could share with our friends. We would highly recommend Shelia to sell any property! We could not be happier with our purchase or the process of making the purchase! David & Dixie D. Sheila was a joy to work with and was right on top of everything in our new home purchase. A real professional and very hard worker. She’s NOT a part timer. Great job Sheila! F. Windsor We met with Stephanie Gillespie to show us some homes and I was so impressed with her. She was right on time with which started us off on the right foot. She made it a point to get the most out of our day. I’m sure it took many phone calls and careful planning to get us from point A to B to C, etc. Not one glitch in her logistics which was nice because we were unfamiliar with the area. She also had a packet with just enough information to give me a rundown of each property which was quite informative without being overwhelming. I felt that Stephanie listened to our wants and needs and truly had our best interest in mind. I would recommend her and will absolutely refer her to my friends. Thank you, Stephanie! Wendy F. When we first met with Sheila Davis, she conveyed to us an important message of confidence in selling our home on Lake Lanier. Sheila’s professionalism, coupled with her knowledge and experience in the Lake area real estate market let us know that we had selected the right person to help us through this process. From our perspective, listing our home for sale was more than simply marketing our home. It served as a launching pad for our next step in our life journey. Sheila made a commitment to market our home to a targeted group of prospective home buyers. For us, this meant that each showing was to pre-qualified clients who were interested in finding a home on Lake Lanier. It was, in fact, a pleasure to partner with Sheila and her team. Throughout the process, she and the members of her team provided professional counsel, were caring, and remained committed to working tirelessly to ensure the success of all aspects of the process from listing to closing. We highly recommend Sheila, not because of our success, but because we see her providing the same professional guidance to others. Bruce & Deb L. We just wanted to pass on some words of appreciation for our Realtor, Sheila Davis, and her real estate team at the Norton Agency in Gainesville, GA. We were completely satisfied throughout our entire selling process. Sheila and her team were professional, conscientious, and motivated. Her professionalism, hard work, motivation and frequent communication with us really made the selling process go smoothly. We do and will continue to recommend Sheila Davis as a great real estate agent. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding Lake Lanier properties. She sold our lake home very quickly. We recommended her to a friend and their Lake Lanier property was sold very quickly, as well. Thanks again, Sheila and continued success! Fred and Marty G. Best and most helpful realtor I’ve ever used! Sheila Davis will get you the best house for your investment. Sheila not only shows homes but advises and guides you through the entire process. I highly recommend her. You can not go wrong with Sheila! Derek A. Sheila, thanks for helping to make the sale happen with all the requirements placed on us. You did a great job keeping all of us in line! Walter J. Sheila and her team were a pleasure to work with as we bought our new home and sold our old one. From previous experiences, We knew that this could be a very arduous task, but the team at Sheila Davis and Company made it a very seamless process. In the future we will absolutely use Sheila and more importantly we will recommend her to our friends and family as we know she is truly one of the best agents in this area. We are grateful for her expertise and her professionalism throughout both sides of our real estate transactions! Larry & Kay T. Very professional and great people person. I would use Shelia again and recommend her to my friends. Great job done by this team. Sheila knows her craft well and gives you the best service in the business. This team takes time to answer questions, stage your house and take professional pictures. P. Wilder Sheila is a real pro. She’s among the small group of realtors from the area who lead sales on Lake Lanier and have done so year after year over a long period of time. She has a great demeanor for dealing with potential conflict situations between buyer and seller. Also, her team was especially helpful throughout the process of buying our new home. The Norton Agency’s Home Works program is great and was very helpful in getting due diligence items (from the seller’s cash settlement) completed soon after closing. Larry F. It was my good fortune to have Sheila Davis list and sell my home on Lake Lanier. Like most sellers of high-end homes, I was occasionally frustrated with the time it took to sell; however throughout the process Sheila was always patient and confident in her approach and recommendations. She knows the market, does her homework, and is always professional and thorough. She is also respectful that you are the client. She will stand her ground and make the case for her approach….but, it’s not ” my way or the highway “….we had productive and open discussions on strategy. Sheila was really a star in navigating us through the sales agreement negotiation and a complex set of hurdles placed before us by our buyer to reach closure and ultimately closing. She was ” hands on ” and collaborative with us as well as the buyer’s agent, came up with creative solutions, and kept us optimistic, calm, and focused on the final result. Pat and Janie G. Having been a real estate closing attorney for many years, I was extremely impressed with Sheila’s professionalism. From listing to closing, she was always there for me. Even when we hit some bumps along the way, she was calm, clear, helpful, supportive, and firm when needed. Sheila is a consummate professional. Joan M. I hired Sheila to sell my home on Lake Lanier prior to moving to Alpharetta. She sold the property in two weeks to a cash buyer. She helped me work through the negotiations on the house so I was able to close at a price I was comfortable with. She did such a wonderful job for me I hired Sheila to represent me on my home purchase in Alpharetta. She is professional, extremely knowledgeable of the lake and the players in the area, (which is very important when selling lake property). Realtors know her and she has a good reputation with them. If you want to sell your house, you need to interview Sheila for the job. I have bought and sold eight houses in my lifetime and Sheila is a standout when it comes to realtors. Lana E. Sheila Davis is very professional and was a joy to work with on selling my Lake Lanier house. I would recommend her highly! Joy S. Sheila Davis is a great Realtor! She listed our home on Lake Lanier and had a contract on it within 35 days at 95% of our asking price! During the due diligence period, she assisted us every step of the way until closing was completed. I would recommend her very highly. Clay and Lori S. It was great to work with Sheila on the purchase of our new home on Lake Lanier. Sheila understood our needs and managed the relationship with buyer and seller to success. David & Peggy G.

770-235-6907I was looking for a home on Lake Lanier. Cindy was very helpful and readily available to answer my questions and concerns throughout the whole process. As a former real estate agent in another state I was very impressed with Cindy Ballard in comparison with the many realtors I’ve worked with and we landed a great deal on the house I bought! Darrin
I would highly recommend Sheila Davis. Sheila will go the extra mile to make sure your home sells and is the kind of agent whom you can trust and believe in. The Norton agency is an example of integrity. I would not hesitate to use them again. Jack Allen
