Welcome John Watkins to the Cobb Office
Genuinely interested in the people around him, John Watkins is a graduate of Kennesaw State University who combines a native knowledge of the Atlanta area with his training in marketing and natural creativity to help clients navigate the buying and selling process.
Born and raised in Marietta, John’s fascination with real estate partially derived from watching his grandfather flip homes and manage rental properties and partially stems from a creative eye intrigued by layout and design. A natural entrepreneur and problem-solver who enjoys the fact that his work takes him all over the city and gives him the opportunity to meet a variety of people, he truly loves what he does. He enjoys the uniqueness and personality of each property and is well acquainted with all aspects of Georgia real estate, serving clients at all price points with a variety of needs throughout the Atlanta market.
A skilled communicator, he specializes in real connections and personal relationships with clients, making it his mission to get to know them on a personal level and help them find the home that fits them. Recognizing the significance of the investment in a home, both financially and emotionally, he is dedicated to facilitating the best possible outcome for his clients.
Appreciative of Atlanta’s culture and community atmosphere, along with its proximity to the beach and mountains, John enjoys immersing himself in the life of the city and pouring himself into his friends. Always up for an adventure, when he’s not working with clients, he is likely working out, indulging his passion for photography, writing music, long-boarding, hiking or trying out new food.

Welcome Ken Lutz to the Cobb Office
Well-seasoned in many facets of the real estate industry, Ken Lutz combines an incredible capacity for detail and decades of market knowledge with a high level of care to help clients navigate the buying and selling process, identify opportunities that fit their lifestyle and make sound market selections with long-term benefits.
A graduate of The University of Oklahoma with a degree in accounting, Ken very quickly discovered that he was better suited to dealing with people than sitting behind a desk. After five years working as a public accountant, he obtained a petroleum land management position researching mineral rights and negotiating oil and gas leases, a role that allowed him to interact with people from a variety of backgrounds and introduced him to real estate. After relocating to Atlanta and earning both a real estate and appraiser license, Ken ran his own appraisal company, Lutz Appraisal, for 14 years, becoming more involved in the residential side of the industry.
A born entrepreneur and family man who enjoys the freedom that real estate provides, Ken enjoys the opportunity to collaborate with his daughter, Leah Martin (also an agent at Atlanta Fine Homes). Those who work with him know that he is not driven by the paycheck, and his goal is to see them succeed. A champion of the underdog, his aversion to seeing anyone being taken advantage of ensures that, regardless of price point, his client’s interests are protected at every step and everyone is treated fairly. Ken enjoys assisting buyers and sellers not only with selecting a place to call home but also with making sound real estate investment decisions, whether for rental or flipping purposes.
A Vinings resident whose family has lived in the Atlanta area for nearly 50 years, Ken enjoys the area for the distinct four seasons as well as the sports teams. He and his wife have three children who live in Atlanta, Austin, Texas and Italy, and when he’s not working with clients, he is likely following college football, playing golf, traveling or spending time with his family.
