Episode 1: It’s About More Than What Your Home Is Worth

Live North Georgia: Real Estate · Real Life · Real Talk
Published: June 24, 2025

Welcome to the first episode of Live North Georgia. I’m Shannon Sanborn, and I want to thank you for being here. I don’t take your time lightly — and I don’t take this mic lightly either.

This podcast was born out of something simple — but deeply personal:
👉 The belief that real estate is more than just business.

It’s about people.
It’s about life transitions.
It’s about making decisions with purpose — not pressure.

A Little About Me

I’ve been around homes for over 20 years — not just showing them, but building them, remodeling them, and walking families through some of their biggest transitions.

I was born and raised in North Georgia. These mountains, these backroads, these neighborhoods — they’re part of who I am. And the longer I’ve done this work, the more I’ve realized what people really need isn’t someone to just run comps or list a house.

They need someone who listens.
Someone who tells the truth.
Someone who helps them move forward with confidence.

It’s About More Than What Your Home Is Worth

Just this morning, I was running a few home valuations for local families here in Hall County. And while the numbers matter — they’re never the full story.

Behind every price tag is a person.
A life season.
A big decision.

That’s why I always say:

It’s not just about what your home is worth — it’s about what your life is worth in this moment.

Real estate is emotional. It’s tied to memories, identity, faith, family — and sometimes survival.
It’s not just about spreadsheets. It’s about your story.

And you deserve someone who sees that.

🎧 What This Show Is (and Isn’t)

This podcast isn’t just a highlight reel.
It’s not about chasing trends or pushing sales.

It’s about real estate, real life, and real talk.

We’ll cover things like:

• What really impacts your home’s value — not just what Zillow says

• How to prep for a sale without going broke

• What to expect from buyers in today’s market

• Whether to sell as-is or make repairs

• What it means to buy with purpose, not pressure

We’ll also talk about life here in North Georgia — from trails and coffee shops to what’s changing in Flowery Branch, Clermont, Lula, and West Hall.

Because your life isn’t lived in a spreadsheet.
It’s lived in the in-between moments.
And I want to speak to those too.

Built on Grit. Fueled by Faith. Committed to Home.

You’ll hear me say this often:
Built on grit. Fueled by faith. Committed to home.

That’s not a tagline — that’s my truth.

I’ve been through enough to know that grit matters.
That faith carries us.
And that home — however you define it — is worth protecting.

So whether you’re tuning in because you’re thinking about selling…
…or just wondering if Gainesville is still a good place to live…

I hope this show gives you clarity, encouragement, and a deeper sense of direction.
