Joe Folsom grew up in Central Florida and always knew he wanted to be in sales.  As a young child, he would sell oranges from his red wagon door to door.  His first real sales job was selling office furniture and equipment.  Having an analytical mind he went on to pursue a carrier in information technology.  Working his way up the corporate ladder as a Regional Sales Manager and later to a national level as a Product Manager he was responsible for working with, training, and assisting with the close of multi-million-dollar projects.  With over 350 salespeople and 54 offices in three countries, he was on the road (or in the air) every week.  

 

 

In 2006 Joe decided to make a career change that would require less travel so he could spend more time at home with his wife and son.  He settled in Chattanooga and partnered with a log home manufacturer to market and sell log homes and Modern Rustic Homes.

SERVICES

Modern Rustic Living at Coldwell Banker High Country Realty provides a wide variety of services to accommodate the needs of sophisticated buyers to first time home owners.  We tailor these services to meet the varying needs of each client by first understanding your desires and objectives.  To do this, we have developed a questionnaire we call the “Green Sheet”.  The information gathered on the Green Sheet helps us to focus on those things most important to you.  

Once we have completed the Green Sheet, your journey with us will include a discussion of your objectives along with a review of those services we offer.  Some examples of our service offering include:

Buyers Broker  –  When we represent you as a Buyers Broker, we work hard to find the property that just right for you.  This includes gathering listing data and presenting you with options from which to choose.  We never provide Dual Agency which means we only represent one side of the transaction.  

Listing Broker  –  When we represent you as a Listing Broker, we work hard to find you a buyer.  We market your property on multiple Real Estate & MLS sites.  We syndicate these listings so they get spread across the internet and presented to the greatest number of buyers looking for property just like yours.  

Design/Build Services  –  For those clients wanting to build a new home, we offer complete Architectural Design Services from the concept drawings to the finished floorplans ready for construction.  We will then match you with a licensed and insured General Contractor that has the experience to build your new home.  

Legacy Homes & Family Compounds  –  We have a great place to live here in the North Georgia Mountains and into the Tennessee Valley.  Many decide to settle here and make this their last home purchase and as such want a home that will accommodate family during holidays and special occasions or a home or homes that can accommodate multiple families with a family compound.  We are experienced in accommodating these clients and will search wide and far to find that perfect land, home or homes anywhere in Georgia or Tennessee.  

 

Farm & Ranch  –  If the wide-open outdoors is your objective, we can help you there too.  From productive farms to a gentleman’s farm, we have inventory for crop production, cattle grazing and scenic pastoral views all across GA & TN.  

 

Concierge Services  –  Most of our clients are busy people and simply need some help finding exactly what they want.  We offer a greatly enhanced level of service for these clients who have little time to waste and simply want to get down to business by focusing on only those properties that meet their objectives.  Go to this link to learn more about our Personal Concierge Services

REVIEWS

Home Buyer

I was shopping around for an agent for our 2nd home & stumbled upon Joe Folsom. From the start, Joe was extremely friendly, & helpful. He asked the right questions,Joe was very patient and provided me with all the information I needed to make a great purchase. He was not pushy or aggressive like other agents. He was extremely flexible and was willing to show me places whenever I was available. He made the purchase process of a 2nd home smooth and provided me with the right contacts and 3rd parties to make the transaction a pleasant experience.

Home Seller

When my husband & I made the decision to sell our beloved 12 year old cabin, we met with Joe Folsom at Modern Rustic Living to discuss options. Joe was honest in that he explained the market situation and comparable homes in our price range. He supported our decision to sell, timeline, and selling price. Joe advertised our cabin using a broad spectrum of online and traditional selling resources. The customers he showed the cabin to were viable and qualified to purchase our cabin. As much as we hated to sell our cabin, Joe worked with both of us to help us through the selling process. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase a home.

Home Buyer

 My parents, husband, and I worked with Joe Folsom in early 2018 to buy a home in Ellijay. He was a consummate professional! He was extremely responsive to our questions and inquiries and provided impressive knowledge of the Ellijay and surrounding markets. His construction knowledge/experience was an added bonus as we assessed the quality of home prospects. Joe was incredibly patient navigating the sometimes-competing tastes/desires of four buyers as well! When we found "the one," we had a competing buyer, and Joe helped us plan a strategic offer that won us our beautiful family retreat. Joe's network of local professionals is also vast, and we have used his contacts for several projects since our closing. We would highly recommend Joe and his services! 

Home Buyer

We had a fantastic experience with Joe Folsom. Joe is a Realtor and a builder. Joe's expertise as a builder was very helpful when we looked at properties. Joe was able to look at each property with eyes of a builder. Joe is very patient, thorough, and very quick to respond to our inquiries. We would use Joe again and we would also recommend Joe to our friends. Thank you Joe!
