About Susan Shedd

I am Susan Shedd, Real Estate Broker, Accredited Buyer’s Agent at Appalachian Realty LLC and a native of the North Georgia mountains. I also have extensive experience in marketing and selling homes and land. Our marketing plan syndicates our listings to over 109 sites across the internet, as well as our own successful website www.appalachian-realty.com which has been up for over 20 years. This gives our clients amazing exposure and reaches potential buyers across the globe.

I am not your typical Realtor. I’m usually in my jeans and hiking boots, not a dress & heels. I love to walk & show homes and property and will be right with you until we find that missing corner. I enjoy finding the perfect home or property for my clients, welcoming them to the slower, peaceful lifestyle of mountain living and helping them fit in, in their new surroundings. I have been a land specialist for many years and selling homes and property in the mountains of North Georgia is my passion.

I also love to ride my Harley and my horse, float the rivers in my kayak & just be outside enjoying the mountains. I’m a blessed person who loves life & believes that putting on a front is not part of my job description. What you see is what you get. I’m a person who will treat you kindly and honestly, in any situation. The Golden Rule is one I live by. I have been very blessed and I try to bless others I come in contact with.

I opened Appalachian Realty in 1986 because I wanted to help people find their dreams in these mountains, just as I had found mine several years before. I am driven by my passion for real estate. I enjoy meeting people and making lasting friendships. It is not uncommon for clients to contact me to sell a home or property they purchased through me 20+ years ago.

My husband, Bruce, and I moved up to Doublehead Gap, in Gilmer County back in 1981. We have seen the growth and change here, but much of our county has maintained it’s peacefulness and beauty, in part, because of the large area of Chattahoochee National Forest that surrounds us. The serenity and abundant wildlife have drawn nature lovers from all over the country and the world and it makes living here a wonderful privilege and blessing.
