Testimonials

Grant was instrumental in helping me acquire my very first home. He was responsive, accessible, approachable and extremely attentive in said process. A process that usually takes months or even years only took me 1 month with his help. Would recommend him to anyone.

    Aaron

    Buyer

    My daughter and I were very happy with the experience we had with Grant finding her a nice home in Roswell. The whole search and closing process went very smoothly. We would highly recommend Grant Waugh and Down Home Properties!!

      Gary Cole

      Buyer

      As my real estate agent, Grant helped get me through a very long closing process on new construction property. We got hit with every hurtle: construction delays, inaccurate appraisal, undisclosed HOA closing costs. He fought for me every step along the way and we finally ended up having a successful closing on the home I still own 3 years later.

        Erin Gwaltney

        Buyer

        As a first time home buyer, I was super overwhelmed. Grant was so helpful in answering all of my questions and guiding me through the process. Not to mention his dedication to driving all over metro Atlanta when I was still unsure about the location to buy in. I couldn’t recommend him more!

          Dorian

          Buyer

          Working with Grant was an absolute pleasure! His professionalism, expertise, and dedication made the buying and selling process seamless. From finding our dream home to negotiating the best deal, he was with us every step of the way. I highly recommend Grant for anyone looking for a top-notch real estate experience.

            Dale Drushella

            Buyer and seller

            Working with Grant was an absolute pleasure. His expertise and dedication made the process of buying my townhome seamless and stress-free. He listened attentively to my needs and found the perfect property for me. I highly recommend Grant Waugh to anyone in search of a knowledgeable and reliable real estate agent!

              Alison Flores

              Buyer

              Grant was very professional, diligent and a great communicator through the whole process. We worked together in the sell of two single family homes. I will highly recommend him for all your real estate needs. He is certainly our go to person for any of our family real estate needs.

                Guillermo Rivera

                Seller

                I highly recommend Grant, he is great to work with and knows how to get the job done!

                  Clay Roelle

                  Buyer and seller

                  Grant provided excellent advice when selling our home. It was our first time doing so and he walked us through everything step to make sure we knew everything we needed to know when selling. When he put the house on the market he ended up going above and beyond and called some buyers from our neighborhood and ended up finding us a buyer for above asking price! Would absolutely recommend using him for your buying or selling needs!!

                    Alex Carson

                    Seller

                    I cannot put into words what an asset Grant has been to me in my real estate journey. His communication is unmatched and his attention to detail is second to none. I highly recommend Grant as your realtor for buying and selling.

                      Chris Laye

                      Buyer

                      Grant was a pleasure to work with for the selling and buying of my homes. He was responsive, available, attentive, and displays an incredible attention to detail. I highly recommend using him as your real estate agent, regardless of the purpose!

                        Lindsey Scarborough

                        Buyer and seller

                        Grant helped me sell my condo in Midtown and purchase a new home in Roswell. I was really happy with the sale of my condo - it received multiple competitive bids and was under contract within 6 weeks. The Roswell home I purchased was also competitive - Grant was professional, fast to communicate and helped me negotiate a credit to cover some home repairs before I moved in. I will absolutely work with him again!

                          Frequently Asked Questions

                          To get an accurate home value, you need more than an online estimate. I run a personalized market analysis using local comps, current trends, and your home’s condition. Whether you're in Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, East Cobb, Canton, Cumming, Marietta, Woodstock—or anywhere else in Georgia—I can give you a clear picture of what your home is really worth.

                          It depends on your goals and the property, but many neighborhoods across Roswell, Alpharetta, East Cobb, Milton, and Cumming are still seeing strong buyer activity. If your home is priced and presented well, you can absolutely get traction. I’ll help you decide if now’s the right time based on the data—not hype.

                          If you're pre-approved and serious, buyers in areas like Dunwoody, Woodstock, Sandy Springs, and Canton often go under contract in a few weeks. In competitive pockets of Alpharetta or Milton, it might take a little longer to land the right fit. My job is to help you stay ready and move fast when the opportunity is right.

                          Alpharetta and Roswell are my home base—I was born in Roswell and grew up in Alpharetta, so I know these communities inside and out. But I serve the entire Metro Atlanta and North Georgia region. Not only do I cover those areas, I’ve successfully helped clients buy and sell in Milton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, East Cobb, Canton, Cumming, Marietta, Woodstock, Blue Ridge—and far beyond. If you’re buying, selling, or investing anywhere in Georgia, I’ve got you covered.

                          It varies, but homes in move-in-ready condition in places like Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Woodstock, and Dunwoody are still seeing strong activity. Strategy matters—pricing, timing, and presentation can make or break your outcome. I’ll help you stand out in whatever market you're in.

                          Each area has its own vibe. Alpharetta and Milton offer newer homes and master-planned communities, while Roswell and Marietta offer established neighborhoods with character. Woodstock and Canton have great growth potential, and areas like Sandy Springs and Dunwoody are ideal for those who want closer city access. I help buyers compare what's most important for their lifestyle, commute, and long-term plans.

                          You’ll want to be pre-approved, know your budget, and understand how fast the market moves in your specific price range. Whether you're looking in East Cobb, Cumming, or Woodstock, I’ll guide you through the process so you feel confident from day one.

                          Yes—I’m an investor myself, and I’ve helped clients with flips, long-term rentals, and short-term rentals across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. I also have a licensed general contractor in my family, so I’ve got the right connections—from rehab crews to property managers—to help you find and maximize the right deal.

                          Typical seller costs include commission, prorated taxes, attorney fees, and any agreed-upon repairs. I’ll walk you through your exact numbers upfront—no surprises.

                          Yes! I’ve helped many clients find their ideal home in the North Georgia mountains. From Blue Ridge to Lake BurtonCherry Log to McCaysvilleBlairsville to Dahlonega—I’ve got you covered. I own and have personally renovated properties in North Georgia, and I’ve helped clients purchase everything from second homes and investment cabins to forever homes, raw land, and vacation properties. If you're looking to buy or sell in the mountains, I can help you find the right spot and make a smart move.
