Helping you feel at home before you buy
ABOUT ME
Nancy Thorpe
Nancy Thorpe is a trusted real estate advisor serving Rabun County, Georgia and Macon County, North Carolina, specializing in mountain homes, lakefront properties, legacy estates, farms, acreage, luxury retreats, and distinctive “jewelbox” properties throughout the North Georgia Mountains and Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. With a background in both real estate and mortgage lending, Nancy brings a uniquely well-rounded understanding of the buying and selling process, paired with a deep knowledge of the region’s land, lifestyle, and mountain communities.
Known for her thoughtful guidance, strong marketing approach, and genuine connection to the area, Nancy works with buyers relocating to the mountains, families searching for lake and mountain retreats, and sellers entrusted with legacy properties held for generations. Her passion for real estate is rooted not only in the properties themselves, but in the belief that home can profoundly shape the way people live, gather, and experience life.
Nancy’s own journey to finding a place that truly felt like home reshaped her life, and that experience continues to inform the care and empathy she brings to every client relationship. Whether navigating the purchase of a mountain getaway, a working farm, a tract of land, or a full-time residence, she approaches every transaction with deep respect and a strong sense of responsibility.
A proud mom to her young son, Boone, Nancy embraces the outdoor lifestyle that defines this region. When she’s not working with buyers and sellers across Clayton, Lake Burton, Seed Lake, Lake Rabun, Highlands, Otto, Scaly Mountain, and the surrounding communities, she can often be found at her farm, exploring hidden swimming holes and river spots, teaching Boone to garden, going fast on something fun, or enjoying the simple rhythms of mountain life. Living the lifestyle she helps others discover gives Nancy firsthand insight into what makes these mountain communities such special places to call home.

Client Reviews
“I have worked with Nancy several times over the years and she is professional in every sense of the word. She knows the market and works hard for her clients. I have recommended her to many of my clients and they have all been thrilled as well I recommended her to a neighbor who wanted to sell and even though it was a particularly hard sell Nancy didn’t give up. She dug in and spent countless hours working until it sold. Highly recommend!”
“Nancy has sold two homes for me in the past few years and each time was absolutely amazing. She makes a stressful process as effortless as possible and I appreciate everything she did so much. Nancy really knows how to go above and beyond in everything that she does and her work ethic and positivity is so refreshing. I highly recommend anyone working with Nancy!”

They went above and beyond to educate us on the lake and surrounding areas, as well as made sure to work within our budget and ultimately find the house of our dreams. Her expertise in off market listings makes this team highly unique and is a big advantage when partnering with her. I cannot say enough amazing things and would highly recommend working with her.”
