A dynamic member of the Clay Henderson Group specializing in the stunning Lake Burton market and the surrounding Mountain Lakes region, MJ Nicholson leverages over 12 years of experience in the industry to help her clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Her vision, resources and deep connection to the area give her clients unprecedented access to the mountain air, picturesque surroundings and quiet lifestyle found in Rabun County.
Born and raised in Buckhead, MJ attended The Lovett School before pursuing her degree at Princeton. The South beckoned her home after college, and she returned to Georgia, where she put her literary talents to work chronicling her family’s history with The Coca-Cola Company into a memoir (a firsthand account of Coca-Cola’s evolution into an international brand told from her grandfather’s perspective), becoming a published author in her 20s. In addition, she obtained her real estate license and began her career in Atlanta before deciding to make Lake Burton, her home away from home since birth, her primary residence.
Innovative, approachable and level-headed, MJ’s personality effortlessly blends creativity with a detailed, organized manner. She excels in staging and photography and caters her service to suit her clients’ unique needs and natures. Whether they are first-time homebuyers or busy CEOs, MJ believes in building long-term relationships and knows how to make every client feel valued and cared for throughout the process. Her clients appreciate her analytical mind and efficient work ethic, as well as her ability to handle a variety of circumstances with ease and understanding. While her passion lies in the luxury property sector, she is well-versed in all aspects of Georgia real estate and assists with a variety of needs, from land/acreage to local boutique commercial spaces.
Known for her resilient spirit and quick wit, MJ is committed to connecting with and lifting those in her sphere of influence higher. Outside of her real estate career, she has established a thriving Instagram presence focusing on fitness and lifestyle. When she’s not working, she cherishes her community, finding relaxation in music, running, strength training, water sports, clean cooking and recipe creation, and spending time with her godchildren and friends.
