Welcome to my corner of the real estate world. I’m Maralee Ray with RE/MAX Classic, and I’m your not so average North Georgia real estate agent. I’ve been helping families buy and sell homes for over 23 years. Real estate is more than just a career for me, it’s a calling. 

I love guiding clients through each step of the process, making sure it feels less overwhelming and more exciting, whether it’s their very first home or their forever home. I want them to feel like this is more than another transaction. 

I’ve lived everywhere from Japan to NOLA, Boston and more, but North Georgia has been home to me for the last 40+ years. I’m passionate about sharing what makes this community so special. 

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me grilling out with my husband, cheering on Georgia football, hosting poolside get-togethers, or spoiling my sweet dog GiGi.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your real estate goals. Let's embark on this journey together and turn your real estate dreams into reality.

Prompt and Responsive

I understand the urgency that comes with real estate transactions. That's why I make it a priority to respond quickly to all inquiries and ensure that my clients are always in the loop. 

Local Expertise

With years of experience in the North Georgia real estate market, I have a deep understanding of the local trends, neighborhoods, and market dynamics. This expertise allows me to provide valuable insights and guidance to my clients.

Tech-Savvy Solutions

In today's digital age, technology plays a crucial role in real estate. I leverage social media and local MLS solutions as a means to streamline the buying and selling process, making it more efficient and effective for my clients.
