At  Jayne Hanlon Realty we take pride in the superior service we provide to buyers of Dahlonega area real estate (Dahlonega, Dawsonville, North side of Lake Sidney Lanier).   

Our Mission:

To represent real estate buyers in a confidential, ethical, and professional manner negotiating on behalf of the buyer for the best terms and conditions with no conflicts of interest.  What the listing agent is to the seller, we are to the buyer.

Jayne Hanlon Realty is dedicated to representing and protecting the interests of buyers 100% of the time and is a member of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (NAEBA).   An exclusive buyer agent is a real estate that never takes listings.  This gives you, the buyer, 100% representation.

Dahlonega is located in the scenic foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  The area offers  picturesque settings, diverse terrain, mountain air, serenity, and beauty.  The historic town is the site of the first U.S. gold rush and home to North Georgia College and State University.  Dahlonega is only 65 miles north of downtown Atlanta and 42 miles north of Alpharetta, GA.  So if you want to be closer to work, closer to nature, or somewhere in between, we can help.  

Georgia real estate law mandates that you are a buyer customer unless you enter into a written Buyer Broker Agreement.  As a customer, the real estate sales associate is required only to treat you with honesty and reasonable care.  There is no one to represent your best interests.  If you go to a listing agent to purchase a house/land, the agent is actually legally bound to represent the interests of the seller.  At Jayne Hanlon Realty, we do not list property which allows us to have Exclusive Buyer Agents and to specialize in Buyer Agency, which is the strongest form of buyer representation.   We believe that if sellers and  their agents were required to read Real Estate Buyer Miranda Rights to you, a call to an Exclusive Buyer Agent would be first on your mind.

Since Jayne Hanlon Realty does not work with sellers as clients, we will never work with buyers and sellers as clients in the same transaction.  This eliminates agency conflicts (Dual or Designated Agency) that can dilute your representation.  With Dual Agency an agent is trying not to give the seller or buyer an advantage so neither client gets the benefit of pure representation.  When  Designated Agency is being practiced, confidentiality and allegiance can be accidentally  breached by agents working in the confines of the same office. For more information on real estate agency, see the “ABC’s of Agency” at http://www.garealtor.com/Portals/0/GOVABCofAgency.pdf on the Georgia Association of REALTORS^® site.

Georgia state law prohibits a Broker from representing a Buyer as a client without first entering into a written agreement with the Buyer (O.C.G.A. § 10-6A-1 et. seq.).  Jayne Hanlon Realty uses the standard Georgia Association of REALTORS®' Exclusive Buyer Brokerage Agreement.  

Who pays?

The majority of the properties we will show you will be listed under a cooperative brokerage arrangement in a Multiple Listing Service  (MLS).  This means the commission will be paid from the seller’s proceeds.  Here at Jayne Hanlon Realty, we will also show you “For Sale By Owner” properties and new construction.   In some cases, we may also show properties that are candidates for sale but are not listed.  In cases where a cooperative brokerage arrangement is not available, we will try to negotiate the commission with the seller.  We will discuss any properties where seller is not willing to pay the commission prior to the property being shown.  In the event the Seller or Listing Broker does not pay our commission, and you agree in writing that you still wish to consider the property, then you pay Jayne Hanlon Realty at closing a pre-negotiated commission based upon a percentage of the purchase price.   

Please take some time to review the rest of this web site.   Be sure to view area listings provided by the First Multiple Listing Service.

Let’s get started today with our straight forward consultative approach:

1. Come in for an appointment or conference by phone to get acquainted.  Should we mutually agree to establish an Agency, you will be asked to sign our Exclusive Buyer Brokerage Agreement. 

2.  Let’s tailor a property search strategy to meet your needs.

3. Select from a list of lenders (or your own lender) and get pre-qualified and pre-approved for financing.  This improves your negotiating power.

4. View properties, Research, Prepare Offer, Negotiate, Close, Follow Up.
