THE RABUN REALTY STORY

 

Rabun Realty was founded by Kristi Caudell in 2020 with a vision to provide boutique, white-glove service in the luxury real estate market of North Georgia. In 2017, Kristi moved to Rabun County full-time and began working alongside Lynda Hester, a highly respected real estate professional with deep-rooted expertise in the region. Over the next two years, Kristi immersed herself in the intricacies of lakefront, mountain, and high-end properties, gaining an in-depth understanding of the market, particularly Georgia Power lease lots and luxury estates.

 

With a shared vision for excellence, Kristi Caudell and Lynda Hester have built Rabun Realty into a distinguished boutique firm, specializing in Lake Burton, Lake Rabun, Seed Lake, and Waterfall at Lake Burton. Their partnership is rooted in a deep understanding of the luxury real estate market, combining Kristi’s entrepreneurial drive and marketing expertise with Lynda’s decades of experience and trusted relationships. Together, they curate a highly personalized and strategic experience for every client.

 

At Rabun Realty, we recognize that luxury is about more than just real estate—it’s about the right fit. We are highly selective in the buyers and sellers we work with, ensuring that our time and expertise are dedicated to those who align with our approach. Our focus is on providing unmatched market insight, precision in negotiation, and a discreet, concierge-level service that maximizes value for our clients.

 

By operating within a niche, high-net-worth space, we offer access to exclusive opportunities and an elite network that goes far beyond what traditional firms provide. Whether acquiring a legacy estate, private retreat, or investment property, or discreetly selling a premier home, our clients trust us to handle every aspect with strategic foresight, discretion, and exceptional execution.
