Lynda Hester

Rabun Realty was founded by Kristi Caudell with a vision to create a boutique firm dedicated to North Georgia’s most sought-after properties. That vision is now led by Associate Broker Lynda Hester, a respected force in luxury real estate with more than 45 years of experience.

Lynda’s career has been defined by her remarkable accomplishments and her ability to consistently deliver results. Over the decades, she has been a top-producing agent year after year, closing hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate across Lake Burton, Lake Rabun, Seed Lake, and the exclusive Waterfall at Lake Burton community. Her expertise has shaped the market itself, with her name attached to some of the most significant and record-setting transactions in the region.

As one of the most recognized and respected advisors in North Georgia real estate, Lynda has cultivated relationships that extend far beyond a single transaction. She has represented families across multiple generations, often guiding clients from their very first property purchase to legacy estates that remain in their families for decades. Her ability to navigate shifting markets and her unmatched knowledge of every nuance of lake and mountain property ownership make her the go-to expert for discerning buyers and sellers.

Beyond her sales achievements, Lynda has built a reputation as a mentor and leader in the industry. She has trained and influenced many of today’s successful agents, shaping their careers with her wisdom and dedication to integrity. Known for her professionalism, discretion, and steady guidance, she is widely trusted by clients and peers alike.

Now leading Rabun Realty, Lynda continues to elevate the firm with her proven record of success and her enduring commitment to excellence. Her career stands as a testament to what can be achieved through dedication, market expertise, and a genuine passion for serving clients.
