Where Chip’s Featured Real Estate Listings Are

Chip’s listings sit in the places he knows best. These are the markets behind the featured real estate listings on this page, and where to see everything else for sale in each one.

Sky Valley, GA

Sky Valley is Georgia’s highest and northernmost city, at about 3,500 feet on the slopes of Rabun Bald in Rabun County. Summer afternoons are often 10 to 15 degrees cooler than Atlanta, and the city centers on Sky Valley Country Club, the highest golf course in Georgia. Chip has been Sky Valley’s #1 agent every year since 2016, so most of his featured real estate listings are here. See all Sky Valley GA homes for sale, or visit the City of Sky Valley website.

Dillard, Clayton and Rabun County, GA

Below Sky Valley, the US 441 valley runs through Dillard, Rabun Gap and Clayton, the county seat, with Lake Burton, Lake Rabun and Black Rock Mountain State Park close by. It is the heart of the North Georgia mountains and about two hours from Atlanta’s airport. Browse Rabun County GA homes for sale, Clayton GA homes for sale and Rabun Gap real estate.

Western North Carolina

Across the state line, Chip’s featured real estate listings reach Scaly Mountain, the Highlands Plateau and now Jackson County, where a 30-acre farm with four homes sits a mile from Dillsboro and four miles from Sylva, near the Great Smoky Mountains (see Discover Jackson County NC). See Highlands NC homes for sale and land, farms and acreage for sale.

Weeki Wachee, Florida

On Florida’s Nature Coast, Chip lists in Glen Lakes Golf & Country Club, a guard-gated golf community in Weeki Wachee, Hernando County, where the featured home backs to the 18th fairway. The spring-fed river at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is a few minutes away.

Lake Oconee, GA

Chip lived on and around Lake Oconee for 13 years, and Durpo Realty Associates serves Lake Oconee’s golf and lakefront communities in Greene and Putnam counties. Lake Oconee homes will join these featured real estate listings as they come on the market; until then, see Lake Oconee real estate or call Chip’s Lake Oconee line at (706) 749-7700.

Buying One of Chip’s Featured Real Estate Listings

Every one of Chip’s featured real estate listings comes with the listing broker on the phone. Here is how buying one works, and what to look at before you make an offer.

See it in person or by video

Call (706) 746-2900 or use the Schedule a Showing button on any listing. Chip shows his own listings himself, and if you live out of state he can walk you through a home on a live video call, so you only make the drive for the ones you love.

What to check on a mountain home

  • Road and driveway: how steep they are, who maintains them, and what winter access looks like.
  • Septic and water: most mountain homes use a septic system and many use a well; ask for permits, age and service records.
  • Internet and cell service: it varies from ridge to ridge, so check the exact address if you work from home.
  • Rules and dues: covenants, association dues, club memberships and short-term rental rules all differ by community.

Land, farms and homesites

For land and farms among the featured real estate listings, ask for the survey or plat, a soil evaluation for septic, where power and water reach the property, and any restrictions. Chip spent years as a builder and developer before real estate, so he looks at a homesite the way a builder does: the slope, the build site, the views and the road in.

Second homes and financing

Many buyers of Chip’s featured real estate listings are buying a second home or a future retirement home. Talk with a lender who knows second homes, log homes and land early, since loan programs differ from a primary residence in the city. Chip can recommend local lenders, inspectors and closing attorneys he has worked with for years.

How a Home Becomes a Featured Listing

Every property on this page started as a conversation with the broker. When Chip takes a listing, it gets professional photography, a video tour where it fits, a written description that answers buyers’ real questions, and its own page on durpo.com built to rank in Google, so buyers searching from Atlanta, Florida and beyond find it first. It then joins these featured real estate listings and goes out to the major real estate websites.

Chip has sold real estate since 1981 and handles all of his featured real estate listings personally, from pricing to closing. Request a free home value estimate to see what your home or land could sell for, and how it would look on this page.
