Selling your home in Auburn, GA
Auburn is a small town that's growing fast, right between Dacula and Winder. Here's what buyers look for here, how I price and market Auburn homes, and how to find out what yours is worth.
Why buyers want Auburn
Auburn is mostly in Barrow County, with a small part in Gwinnett County. It's about 42 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta and 27 miles west of Athens. Its motto is "Come grow with us," and it's doing just that, growing from about 7,500 people in 2020 to an estimated 10,100 in 2025.
Small-town feel
Auburn was incorporated in 1892, soon after the railroad came through, and it still feels like a small town.
Little Mulberry Park next door
Little Mulberry Park has an entrance on Fence Road in Auburn, with lakes and about 15 miles of trails.
Two counties, two school districts
Most Auburn homes are in Barrow County schools, and the Gwinnett side is zoned for Dacula schools.
Growth all around
With Dacula and Winder growing on both sides, and Rowen being built nearby, Auburn is right in the middle of it.

How I sell homes in Auburn
- I spell out your county. Buyers want to know which county and school district they're buying into. I put it front and center.
- I price against new construction. Buyers comparing your home to a new build need to see the value of a finished home: established yard, no wait to move in, and extras like blinds and fencing already done.
- I sell the location. Being between Dacula and Winder, close to Little Mulberry Park, is a real plus. I make sure buyers see it.
- I keep you in the loop. You get a written check-in from me every week or two, plus feedback after private showings.

“In the end, my home sold quickly (much faster than I anticipated) and at the listing price.”
