GREENSBORO, Ga. – The No. 1 Real Estate Company in the Lake Oconee area, Coldwell Banker Lake Oconee Realty/Lake Country, continues to add elite talent with the addition of Bill Weghorst to its roster of more than 65 Realtors. He will join forces with his wife and current top-selling Coldwell Banker Lake Oconee agent, Joan Weghorst, to produce a sales team focused on selling luxury residential property in Georgia’s Lake Country.

Bill comes to Coldwell Banker after an illustrious career in commercial real estate spanning 30 years. Beginning as Director of Marketing, Bill’s keen negotiating skills, business acumen, and client-focused approach helped him quickly rise through the ranks to become the President of two elite commercial real estate firms in Atlanta. As a resident of Reynolds since 2007, Bill now wants to focus on helping others discover the “good life” of Lake Oconee by teaming up with his wife and fellow agent, Joan Weghorst. 

Since joining Coldwell Banker Lake Oconee six years ago, Joan has risen to become a consistent top producing agent and lifetime member of the million-dollar producing club. As a certified Global Luxury Specialist and a resident of Reynolds for 15 years, Joan’s depth of knowledge of the local area and luxury market has led her to repeatedly be nominated for local Realtor of Year. To date, Joan and Bill have collectively negotiated the sales of over $1 billion of real estate.

When asked about joining Coldwell Banker Lake Oconee, Bill stated that “the opportunity to bring my passion for real estate home to Lake Oconee is a dream come true. At the end of the day, this business is about people, and what motivates me day in and day out is the opportunity to help others achieve their real estate goals. At this stage in my career, I cannot wait to help people discover what I have known for years: that Lake Oconee is a special community to call home. Add the fact that I have the privilege of working with my tremendously successful wife on this new venture, and I really could not ask for more.”

“I am thrilled to team up with Bill on this new venture” added Joan. “We fell in love with the beauty, hospitality, and relaxed lifestyle of Reynolds and the Lake Oconee area 15 years ago, and we have both dreamed of teaming up one day to show others what this area has to offer. I believe our extensive experience navigating all aspects of real estate sales and management make us not only an excellent and complimentary team but a tremendous resource to luxury buyers and sellers alike.”  

“We are very excited to welcome Bill to the family,” added Coldwell Banker Lake Oconee Realty/Lake Country President and COO, Jim Willis. “His unmatched experience in negotiating complex real estate transactions and delivering elite service to clients coupled with Joan’s understanding of local residential market and attention to detail make this team a force to be reckoned with in the coming years. In the high-stakes world of luxury real-estate sales, I can safely say that the sky is the limit for the new Weghorst team.”
