ends at the closing, but if you work to change the lives of others, that high never ends. There is no greater good for your soul than to help another soul,” Teena said. When looking for a business location, Teena checked Woodstock, Acworth and Kennesaw. Losing her parents led her to become more entrenched in history, so her one must-have was a historic home. The search led her to a house in downtown Kennesaw, an area where she grew up. She met with Darryl Simmons, zoning administrator for the city of Kennesaw, and other city officials. They showed her what was coming to Kennesaw in the next five years, and she knew she had found her house. According to Teena, when she bought the Baldwin Home in foreclosure, it was a “hot mess.” But, she wanted to be in a city that was working with someone like Chad Howie, a real estate developer. “He was single-handedly bringing commerce to a city I loved, and I figured if he had chosen it, it must be a good thing. I’m so grateful, in spite of jumping through all the hoops of restoring and rebuilding a home this special, that I could see the city was willing to work with me to bring a historic building back to life,” Teena said. “Not a day has gone by that I regret where we are. In fact, it’s only gotten better. This building is full of joy in a city that is full of life.”

Testimonials “We loved working with Teena on selling our home. How can you not love her and Trish Levy? She had great advice on what we needed to do to get it ready to sell. Trish was so good to keep us up-to-date every step of the way. If we had any questions, they were quick to respond. We had a contract the first day it went on the market and closed a few weeks after that.” “From staging to closing, they were on top of everything and kept me informed. The expertise in the field enabled me to price the house appropriately for the area and resulted in a quick sale. I highly recommend the 22one team!” “In this day and time of considering texts and emails as the superior form of communication, Jason Smith (of 22one Realty) is someone that I knew I could always call, and he would answer the phone. No matter what my concerns or questions were, he knew the answer. He has a tremendous work ethic.”
