Brad Dunaway
Born in Washington DC, raised in Virginia, and having worked from New York to LA, Brad has probably visited or worked someplace close to your hometown! Ultimately, Brad settled with his wife Debbie, in Sarasota, Florida where she grew up. They wanted to raise their two daughters close to family.
In his 30+ years in Sarasota, Brad worked hard to build his own business and a very successful relationship with the Real Estate industry! He is driven to succeed, and when it comes to finding the perfect property for you, he will never give up!
His work ethics of dedication and discipline were developed early on during his 15-year career in the professional theatre, film, and television industry culminating in his Broadway debut in Fiddler on the Roof in 1981. It was in that production that he and Debbie met.
During those same years, they fell in love with the beauty of the Smoky and Appalachian Mountains. They knew that one day they would settle here, and that dream became their reality 8 years ago when they chose the lakes and mountains in beautiful Hiawassee!
So, whether you are searching for a home in these amazing North Georgia Mountains, a place to build or develop, or on a mission to sell, with Brad's help, your experience will not be tedious or humdrum!
Brad is eager to meet you and cannot wait to make your dream a reality too. As is often said: “The mountains are calling… don’t let it go to voicemail”! Contact Brad and make it happen!

Jan Simony
I grew up in a little town in Pennsylvania called Pleasant Hills. The scenery with rolling hills and beautiful change of seasons in north Georgia reminds me very much of my hometown. I lived in the Daytona Beach / New Smyrna Beach area for almost 20 years before moving to our little cabin in Blairsville full time in 1997. I sold Real Estate in Florida before I had my two daughters and still have an inactive Florida Real Estate License. I have been selling Real Estate in Georgia now and I love it when I can help people reach their real estate goals!
I have a very strong background in Construction and Building Codes and have intensive knowledge of building & Custom Homes and can help my clients out with any or all of the building process from home site selection, plans or financing.
Some friends and I have started a Feral Cat Trap/Spay/Neuter/Return Program here in Union County called the Whiskers Project. We have helped cat caretakers with trapping, spay or neutering strays, vaccinating them and then returning them to their caretakers or relocating them to a farm. We have prevented hundreds of stray, wild and unwanted cats. We have put a serious dent in our unwanted cat population here in Blairsville and are always looking for new volunteers to join our cause CONTACT THE WHISKERS PROJECT.
My passion is recreational boat safety and I was with our local US Coast Guard Flotilla for 6 years. If you have any lake or boating questions, I’m your agent.
I want to personally welcome anyone and everyone to visit this beautiful mountain area and to make it their full time residence or part time home!
Let me help you find your perfect property here in the Beautiful North GA Mountains!

Tiffany Hooper
I have lived in the Hiawassee area all of my life. I have never felt the need to move away from these gorgeous mountains, rivers, lakes, and the small town feel. What a perfect place to live!!! That is why I would like to help people find just the perfect home to live in and enjoy all of these amazing things! Waking up to a rushing river, or out by the lake, or tucked back in the quiet mountains!! How perfect is that! I love to work with people who also would like to sell their home or property. My sellers have had nothing but good things to say when I have listed their home for them. Contact me about selling and you will have that same experience with me that my previous sellers have had with me!
My background and work ethic has taught me to strive to do my best for people, be compassionate of others, listen, trusting,hard working, and many other qualities.
I have been married to my husband Stacy for since 1998 now and we have a son that is growing up way too fast on us! We are blessed to have been able to raise him where we are close to all of our family.
