Ellijay, Georgia, Base camp for healthy living.
Most of our customers have achieved that place in life where they can choose where they live, but more importantly choose the lifestyle they wish to live. For some they chose Ellijay, Georgia. Here you will find an environment more to God”s creation than man’s. The trees are tall, the rivers clean and the air is fresh. These foothills quickly turn into mountains, often occupied with hikers, bikers, kayakers and just unadorned nature lovers. Gardens are often organic, orchards litter the hills, and trout continue to tease the fishermen and women who enjoy the quest. If you are a hunter, well then you will also be in heaven.
Regardless of your particular sport or hobby, what remains constant is the desire for healthy living. It seems common now that so many new citizens to Ellijay pursue a lifelong passion to create, to garden, to volunteer, to make wine, to paint, to woodwork, to walk, to fish, to run, to be at oneness with whatever you wish. So, for you I wish the same experience. Come to North Georgia and set up your own base camp for healthy living. I promise you will be in good company. If you need a road map to reach us, then just call 706 273-7140. We will be glad to help.
Michael Grant, living healthy in Ellijay.
Happy, happy, happy…

Over the past 30 years, we have built three houses. This experience with Caldwell Banker High Country Realty and Modern Rustic Homes, by far, has been the most pleasant and rewarding. From day one, our contact with Michael Grant has been a journey that any homeowner would relish. If we could script a perfect real estate experience, this would be it. Our intuition, after speaking with Michael for the first time, was…here is a trustworthy, meticulous and professional Realtor and builder. While Michael provided real estate, design and architectural expertise, his team also included a builder, Joe Dixon and a real estate partner, Joe Folsom. Without exception, at all levels, everyone we came in contact with (carpenters, plumber, cabinetmaker, painter, etc.) were professional, courteous and skilled and cared deeply about the quality of their work. To this day, five months after completion, we are still in contact with Michael and his team. They promptly return phone calls and follow up on any questions or requests that we have . I am proud to say that not only did we end up with a spectacular home, but we also ended up with true lifelong friends.

Better than expected
One of the rewards in my work is when the result of months and sometimes years of customer collaboration turns out even better than we imagined…such is this Craftsman inspired house we are building in Hiawassee, GA. The curb appeal is terrific and when you enter the house you are surprised to see how open and spacious it is. The sight lines pull your eye to the view of the robust stream behind the house. You also sense the progression of space, how the rooms have an order to them, some defined with walls, others with ceiling variations. The bedrooms each have a private porch to step onto and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Another feature is that the house outdoor living spaces are just as inviting and intimate as the interior. Not to big, not to small, it all works.
One more thing, the customer feels the same and has been a pleasure to team with.

Customer Service or Customer Care
This customer service verses customer care position may seem trivial, but I have noticed that my customers want to know that we care about them first, then the service that follows is elevated to a higher level. In a recent client conversation I realized this and was able to communicate my intention and commitment to caring about my clients concerns.
How is this any different than service. Well think of it this way, I go to my doctor for care, not for service. I want to know that she is looking after my best interest. In this case it is my health and well being. When I care for my client, I am looking out for their best interest. I want their home built correctly, with good craftsmanship and that my “house side manner” is comforting and reassuring.
If I take this doctor care comparison a little further, then think of your new home as designed for health, toxic free, filled with light and supportive of healthy living. It is what I would want, it is what I want for you.
