Before helping folks buy and sell real estate in the Georgia and North Carolina mountains, I practiced law in my home state of Florida for over a decade.
My area of practice was civil litigation. Although financially rewarding, the practice of law was not a passion for me. While still a practicing attorney, I began to invest in real estate in the beautiful mountains of Northeast Georgia and Western North Carolina.
Ultimately, I followed my passion and moved to the mountains. I love it here!

"Rick Andrews is a straight shooter with first class knowledge and experience, and a top shelf staff - I could not have hoped for a better selling experience."
