🏡 Open Houses + Derby Weekend Fun 🐎🎉
This weekend is shaping up to be one you won’t want to miss! We’re excited to debut two new listings, both open Saturday… one from 11–1 in Roswell and another from 2–4 in Dawsonville. If you’ve been waiting for the right home to pop up, this is your chance to step inside, ask questions, and get a feel for what’s new on the market.
Beyond the open houses, it’s a big weekend around town with Kentucky Derby parties in full swing… think festive hats, mint juleps, and plenty of southern charm. Add in rodeos, local festivals, and live music, and there’s truly something for everyone. Grab your people, make a plan, and enjoy a fun-filled weekend across North Atlanta!
