With every transaction, Michelle Ballard leads with her client’s best interests in mind and always strives to exceed expectations. Ballard, a real estate professional with HomeSmart, is among the brokerage’s top 5% of agents, a 2023/2024 inductee into the HomeSmart Elite Group and, since 2019, a recipient of the prestigious Circle of Excellence award. All of these rankings reflect her consistent performance and ability to navigate the dynamic real estate market effectively.

Ballard prides herself on being honest, available and responsive with all the buyers, sellers, relocation companies and renters she assists in Alpharetta, Cumming, Duluth, Johns Creek, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Suwanee and the surrounding areas. “My clients love the personal service I give them,” she says. “I treat everyone as I would want to be treated.”

An Atlanta native now living in Johns Creek, Ballard has been in the industry for 14 years. With a degree in marketing, she initially obtained her real estate license to invest in real estate and market her own properties. However, she was soon receiving numerous requests from friends and family to assist them with the buying and selling of their own properties, and she’s been a full-time agent ever since. She will always be grateful to her dad for suggesting real estate as a career choice.

Ballard is known for making clients feel genuinely cared for and supported throughout the process. Coupled with her vast knowledge of the industry, this personalized approach to service has been a key driver of her success. Active in her community, as well as the industry, she is a member of the Young Men’s Service League, Georgia Multiple Listing Service and First Multiple Listing Service. She also serves on the boards of National Charity League and Patriot Parents for Mount Pisgah Christian School.
