Bio
Elaine is the owner of a wonderful company that happens to help customers find their dream home or sell one to find another. In 1997, Elaine, like many others, decided to take a long weekend trip to the charming city of Savannah. She decided to drive around to see Savannah’s wonderful homes, instead of its many spectacular tourist attractions and fell in love with a house. Not just any house, a beautiful white brick Greek revival on a tree-lined street. Most of her life had been spent in Atlanta raising Ryan and Shannan and selling real estate.
So here Elaine, was in a city where she did not know anyone, and no one knows her. Elaine was fortunate to run out of gas and stop into a locally owned gas station on Drayton Street. Larry Smith, the owner, helped her and noticed that Elaine was a bit perplexed. He gave her some advice, which Elaine is glad to take. He said that if you stay long enough, Savannah will absorb you and IT DID! She was lucky to re-establish the owner's real estate career in a new city. She opened the Christie’s Great Estates office for the developers of The Ford Plantation.
It was in a charming building owned by Lee Smith of Southern Antiques and Interiors. This is important to remember! A few years later Elaine became President and COO of another real estate company in the Historic District. At age 55, she decided to take the leap and open her own real estate company. At the same time, she was asked to affiliate her company with a well-known Atlanta company, Harry Norman Realtors, which had just been purchased by Warren Buffet’s real estate entity, HomeServices of America. In July of 2006, Elaine along with several believers, she likes to call them, opened the doors to Seabolt Brokers, LLC at the same location that she was in when Elaine first opened the doors to the Christie’s office.
It seems that 28 Abercorn Street, absorbed her as well. Since opening the company has also had the opportunity to add to the family. The Coastal Real Estate Group joined as did several members of another well-established firm in the area. This merger strengthened the company and increased the size of the family. So, Elaine would like to invite you to call, email or visit them.
