 Kathy Seger and Ben Staten

Kathy Seger found working with the Active Adult market a natural progression in her 30+ year real estate career.  As her clients aged and started looking for smaller homes and a carefree lifestyle, Kathy  started to focus on learning about the Active Adult communities.  She believes clients deserve an expert when looking for their Active Adult/55+ home.  Now she shares that experience and knowledge with people from all over the globe.

Kathy raised her family in Cobb County and now resides in an Active Adult community in Woodstock near her two sons, their families, and her sister.  She knows first-hand how great the Active Adult lifestyle is.

Ben Staten started his real estate career in Hilton Head, helping retirees and 2nd home buyers in the 80s. He moved back to GA in ‘93 to be closer to family and worked with a broker specializing in new construction homes. There he learned about the building process to assist buyers in customizing their homes. This experience helps Ben provide superior service to clients.

Ben is a Georgia native and his family resides in an Active Adult community in Cumming. He earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech & MBA from Georgia State.
