LH Group founders Linda Baker and Heather Foresman acquired a majority interest in Engel & Völkers‘ north Georgia mountains office in Blue Ridge.

Christa Huffstickler, founder and CEO of Engel & Völkers Atlanta & North Georgia Mountains, will retain a minority stake in the location in what the brokerage called a “strategic shareholder transition.”

“This transition reflects our firm’s continued growth and strategic alignment across our entire Engel & Völkers network,” Huffstickler said. “Together with the team at LH Group, this newly formed leadership structure will strengthen our regional presence and reinforce our shared mission of delivering exceptional service and maintaining the high standards of excellence synonymous with Engel & Völkers.”

Founded by Linda Baker and Heather Foresman in 2022, the LH Group specializes in mountain homes, lakefront property and developments. With a combined 22 years of real estate experience, the team has ranked as the No. 8 Top Producing Team worldwide within Engel & Völkers, according to a press release.

“Our goal is to strengthen the foothold of the now independently owned Engel & Völkers North Georgia Mountains shop by creating a more community-oriented culture,” said Baker. “We want to expand brand visibility through local engagement while continuing to support our advisors with hands-on leadership and strategic growth initiatives.”
