Get to Know Me

My name is Kim Knutzen and I thoroughly enjoy the lifestyle in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. Having moved here from Buford, Georgia, with my husband and two sons in 2003, I fell in love with the slower pace, peaceful mornings, diverse cultures, and overall quality of life the lifestyle affords here.

My 35+ years of real estate experience have been focused on bringing buyers and sellers of high-end waterfront homes, mountain-view cabins, land acreage tracts, investment properties, and commercial buildings together to consummate an honest deal. My attention to detail coupled with honest and punctual communication has enabled me to build a strong referral business that continues to grow year upon year. A satisfied client is a friend for life, and, over the years, I have had the pleasure of becoming friends with some incredible people. I also enjoy giving back to the community that has given me so very much.

My past clients have come to me via a strong referral network. I have served clients from Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, New York, Germany, Belgium, South Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio, Canada, and other locations that have figured out a way to connect to life here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia.

I am honored to be a founding member of Ansley Atlanta’s new Mountain & Lake office in Blue Ridge. I have earned many accreditations throughout my career and continue to consistently achieve goals here in my local office as well as company-wide. My Service Guarantee is to each of my clients, sellers, and buyers, can count on me to represent their interests throughout every stage of the real estate transaction. Whether it’s a reasonably-priced cabin, an authorized short sale, or a significantly-priced waterfront estate, all clients receive the same level of service.
