Greetings from Georgia’s Lake Country! With our great climate, convenient location and “world-class” amenities, our area has become one of the hottest places to relocate to in the country. In my 20 years of real estate in the lake country, I have never seen more demand and escalating values in this market!
Today’s buyers are using technology heavily to purchase real estate. Typically they are doing a lot research and selection through the internet, but still have a need for guidance from a competent realtor. Many times, this includes virtual guidance as well as the traditional research and showings we are all familiar with. Handling a real estate transaction virtually can be even more stressful and more detailed than ever. From the initial questions, through the closing process, technology does not replace the need for a great realtor and in fact, may be even make having a realtor more important.
To accommodate the growing number of buyers on the market, the dynamic duo of Kim and Lin Logan and their team of 13 agents maintain two, 5-star, boutique offices for the convenience of their clients - one in Greensboro and one in Eatonton. While the Logan team of experts represents the best and brightest in the industry, they are also known for being among the most generous. The team donate portions of their paychecks to the Logan’s Brittney Cares nonprofit organization, with the brokerage matching donations. This results in Kim and Lin Logan Real Estate donating thousands each month to helping local residents pay for
medical expenses and financial strain often as a result of tragedy or medical hardship.
“In all my life, I have never been more proud of anything than I am of Brittney Cares,” says Kim. “It has helped so many people locally. There is an old saying we believe in, “when you give, you receive,” and we have received by giving.”
Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair have seen many changes over the years and no doubt will see many more in the future. I have been through them all and can assure you our team has evolved with the community and technology to make sure we remain the most skilled team in this market. We are ready to show you our Southern Hospitality and put our expertise to work for you by land, lake or air!

Mark Watkins
We have over 1000 5-star reviews. Why would you go with anyone else?
Don’t make a $100,000 mistake. Use Kim Logan to sell your home. Kim’s expert knowledge of the market is top notch. We interviewed other firms before we hired Kim. Kim’s estimation of what the offering price should be was $100,000 more than that which was recommended by the other firms. Once listed, we accepted an offer within 24 hours at the price Kim recommended. Huge win for us. I also can’t say enough about Kim’s personal and professional approach to selling the house. She was in constant communication throughout the entire process. It was obvious that she wanted the best for us. Kim and Lin Logan are the team to choose. — Mark Mallard
Kristin Seabolt was such a pleasure to work with when selling my house. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to make sure the entire process was a smooth one. Selling a house can be stressful, but Kristin made sure to keep that stress to a minimum. I would highly recommend her, and I will use her again in the future! — Casey Haynes
Maddie was fantastic to work with starting from day one. She understood our needs and what we were looking for in a house on the lake. And, although there has been limited inventory she stayed patient and continued to work until we found our home. This is our 5th home purchase in 3 different states and by far this was the best experience. — ruben flores8, Zillow.com
Amy and Angie Alford are super stars! I am a first time homebuyer -which comes with a million questions, concerns, and emotions - and they made me feel completely calm and confident in all of my next steps. We went through several offers on homes and they fought to protect what was best for me all while honoring my wishes on budgets, timelines, and non-negotiables. I knew I could count on their truth, support, and encouragement through every step. — Zillow User
Christy Barbee of the Kim and Lin Logan Team was amazing to work with. We initially requested a realtor through Zillow and within minutes, we got a call from Christy and she showed us the house we requestedand another she thought we would be interested in. We were very impressed with her knowledge of the area her responsiveness, we asked her to be our realtor to help us find our perfect lake house.
— Bruce Worre
After a year of sending us listings that helped us figure out what we wanted and could afford, Jennifer acted immediately when we finally found what we were looking for.

2024
Because market reports and trends are most accurate when calculated over a period of time, we’ll be updating this information EVERY 6 MONTHS. Look for a new report in July, 2025. Until then, we’ll keep this information here for those of you who haven’t yet checked it out.
LAKE OCONEE 2024 YEAR END REVIEW & Market Update
HAPPY 2025! We hope everyone had a wonderful and prosperous 2024! The Kim and Lin Logan Team was again blessed last year and concluded 2024 selling more real estate in sales volume than any other individual agent or team in our market. Our total credited sales from the MLS were over $149,000,000. It is no accident because our amazing team of agents work tirelessly to be the most knowledgeable sources of information in our market, and to provide the highest level of customer service out there. This is the 18th year in a row that we have been #1 in our market! We are very optimistic and looking forward to 2025 and we send our best wishes for your success in 2025 too!
As discussed in previous newsletters, our market continues
to benefit from people wanting to escape from other parts of the country and the world, live in warmer climates, and enjoy the wonderful lifestyle and amenities of the lake country. As a result, the number of buyers (demand) continues to be strong. While the inventory of existing homes is lower than demand, new construction and development have increased over the past year. Consequently, it is a very favorable market for both buyers and sellers. While the continued higher interest rates are still a challenge, we forecast that our market will continue to be strong and attractive in 2025.
You can see from the statistics below that the Lake Oconee market was very similar from 2024 to 2023 with modest increases in some sectors.
These are very exciting times in our market as it continues to expand in size and popularity. We would love to talk to you about our market in greater detail and hopefully make you part of our community if you are considering buying or help you relocate if you are moving. Contact us with any questions and we will put our knowledge and expertise to work for you.
