Meet Your Agent
Passion, Expertise, Results
I'm a lifelong Bartow County resident dedicated to helping families in Cartersville and the surrounding communities buy and sell with confidence — real local knowledge, honest advice, and results you can count on.
My Story
A Local Expert Who Knows Bartow County
I'm Makenzie Giddens, a REALTOR® with Peach Realty Inc. I specialize in helping landlords get their rentals leased to good tenants, quickly and without the headache.
I work with property owners across Bartow and Cherokee County — Cartersville, Canton, Woodstock, Ball Ground, and the communities in between. Whether you own one rental or a handful, or you're a long-distance owner who can't be here to show the property, I handle the parts that eat up your time: pricing the rent right, marketing the listing, showings, screening applicants, and getting the lease signed. Tenant placement is one flat fee — no surprises.
I also help buyers and sellers. Whether you're buying your first home, picking up an investment property, or ready to sell — including a rental you're done managing — I'll walk you through every step and give you an honest look at your options. Call or text me anytime; I'm always happy to talk.

My Philosophy
How I Work for You
I Listen First
Before we talk price or paperwork, I want to understand what you actually need — the non-negotiables and the nice-to-haves.
I Advise with Honesty
You'll get my real opinion, even when it's not what you want to hear. That's how we avoid costly mistakes together.
I Advocate Relentlessly
Once you're my client, your interests come first — in every negotiation, every inspection, every closing detail.
I Stay Connected
Real estate doesn't end at closing. I'm a resource for referrals, market questions, and everything home-related for years after.
