The Wheeler Group, Inc.

Summer has arrived (this weekend) and it really FEELS like summer!  Good thing being in the mountains makes a difference,  often ten degrees or more from downtown Atlanta and many people have discovered that very fact by locating to the  North Georgia Mountains.  Since this is my first blog, let me give you a brief history of myself and The Wheeler Group, Inc.  I started The Wheeler Group, in 1984 in Atlanta (I can’t believe it’s been 25 years!)  It was a very humble beginning  with myself and two others in a small office in the Cumberland Mall area of Atlanta.  Prior to starting my own company, I was the Vice President of Southeast Realty and prior to that an associate with The Oxford Group.  Both of these companies specialized in commercial real estate and in particular shopping centers and land development.  I entered, the illusive arena of commerical real estate with a background and degree in fashion merchandising and marketing.  A single mom, with a small child, I wanted to do something creative that would use my merchandising background and not limit my earning potential.   I learned very quickly to lease shopping centers and sell land!  I was lucky to have not one, but two of the best mentors in the business, Dan Dupree and Tom McAuley. (Dan Dupree/President of Cousins Properties and TomMcAuley/IRT Properties.  I learned a great deal from both mentors and within a short time was up and running with my own company that specialized in shopping centers and consulting.  Named one of the Top women Entrepreneurs in Atlanta and in “my element”  I truly enjoyed my real estate work and those that I trained and worked with!  Fast forward to 1998 and I had made a major move to North Georgia to live and continue in the real estate business.  I had built a very successful commercial real estate company and management company however, decided I wanted to live something and do something related, but different.  Following my intuition, which is a major part of who I am,  I started working with luxury properties, including land, residential, commercial and whatever made sense.  My lifestyle change, living on a farm, and working whereever my calling was….worked for me and for my clients.  I sold a retreat center, a bed and breakfast, numerous parcels of large land tracts, river properties, leased a fabulous property in downtown Atlanta and worked with wonderful people that were looking for lifestyle  properties all over North Georgia and Atlanta   My clients were looking for a professional real estate person to either sell their property or find that unique property that they were looking for.  Something that inspires and connects to more than “just a home”.  We all know that “HOME” means something very different from a house.  We all have dreams and envision a lifestyle we want to live, that touches who we are as a person and adds value to our life and is a “smart” investment in the long term!  I love real estate and I love the creative aspect of being in the process from beginning to end.  All of that said….I welcome you again, and stay tuned for more real estate news!  If you have something to sell or need real estate advice.  Call…
