Two Decades of
North Metro Atlanta
Twenty years later, the way we do real estate is still the same: personal, rooted in this community, and accountable to every client we serve.
Our Story
The Carl Hawthorne Team was built on a simple idea: real estate should feel personal, honest, and grounded in real local knowledge. Over the past two decades, we've grown into one of North Metro Atlanta's most trusted teams — without losing the small-team feel that started it all.
From Carl's early years designing communities for John Wieland and Pulte Homes to today's work across Cherokee, Cobb, North Fulton, Forsyth, Bartow, Pickens, and Gilmer counties, we bring something most teams can't: a builder's understanding of how a home is constructed, paired with the local insight to know what it's actually worth.
Our Philosophy
How We Navigate Every Transaction
Clear planning before the first move.
Real answers, even the uncomfortable ones.
