A 5th-Generation Atlantan with Deep Local Roots

Born and raised in Atlanta, M.G. Farris is a 5th-generation Atlantan who grew up in the prestigious Brookwood Hills and Brookhaven neighborhoods, attending Trinity School before moving to North Fulton.  He now resides in Sandy Springs, giving him firsthand, lived knowledge of Atlanta’s premier in-town luxury neighborhoods.  His family has also maintained a second home on Lake Burton for four generations, providing rare insider insight into Georgia’s most exclusive lake community.  This generational perspective is a powerful asset for buyers and sellers seeking expert guidance in Buckhead, Brookwood Hills, Vinings, Ashford Park, Sandy Springs, and Lake Burton real estate.

A Legacy in Atlanta Real Estate

Real estate runs in the family. As the son, grandson, and direct family of politicians and some of Atlanta’s most influential commercial real estate entrepreneurs, M.G. has been immersed in the industry his entire life.  This heritage—paired with his own career as a licensed Associate Broker and Partner at The Stowe Group—gives clients access to a depth of network, market intelligence, and negotiating expertise that is virtually unmatched in the Atlanta luxury real estate market.
