As a former CFO with an MBA in Finance and Management, Doug uses his extensive knowledge of the local market, strategic analytic skills and competitive spirit to achieve financial rewards for all his clients. Doug’s comprehension of contracts, local and national financial trends and successful negotiating give him a leg up in a constantly changing market. Doug consistently outpaces the average sold over list price by over two percent.
As a more than a 20-year resident in Alpharetta and Milton, you can count on Doug as your lifestyle expert and trusted advisor in everything from first-time home buying to equestrian estates to country club living and more in and around the area. Doug and his team coordinate seamless communications regarding your sale and purchase by incorporating ongoing research on local neighborhoods, zoning and building codes, always one step ahead in the buying and selling process.
Doug’s team comprises excellent communicators who are highly skilled in their areas of expertise. Getting you from the contract to the closing table with minimal hassle and maximum benefits is the goal of every member. In the sometimes fast-paced process of home buying and selling, a quick and concise response helps to make the journey less stressful. That is the main objective of the Harden Group.
As an added benefit, Doug is an active member of the community. He is a fun-loving, sports-minded, family-oriented, service-driven citizen, who can help guide you to the latest hot spots, local venues to exercise, play sports, volunteer, meet like-minded people and enjoy everything that the area has to offer. He and his family attend North Point Community Church and love to travel out of the world-acclaimed Atlanta Hartfield-Jackson International airport.
In his personal life, Doug enjoys family time with his wife, Danielle, and their three children, Jackson, Sydney and Davis. Coaching baseball and softball allows Doug to continue his passion from his days as a walk-on baseball player at the University of Florida. A round of golf is Doug’s go-to pastime when he isn’t focused on real estate and his family. You might find him on the links at a local course, especially at White Columns Country Club, where he is a member.
