Mavis Lane Realty
Inspired by her love of home, family life, and annual trips to home shows with her husband, Mavis Lane Anderson began her career in real estate nearly 30 years ago in West Cobb.
“I love helping people find the right house that fits their lifestyle, needs, and taste,” Mavis says. “It just fits my personality. I always try to take everybody's needs personally and help them find just the right thing.”
After 10 years in the business, Mavis envisioned a small, personal brokerage where she could do business her own way. She opened her boutique real estate brokerage, Mavis Lane Realty, in 2014, just one block from the Avenues of West Cobb. Having lived and raised her children in the area for years, Mavis is proud to call West Cobb home.
Today, Mavis is regarded as one of West Cobb’s most trusted real estate professionals, known for her integrity and steady guidance.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling in West Cobb, now is the time. “Now is a great time to buy a home, and we expect a busy spring market,” Mavis says. “West Cobb is still a seller's market, even though we're seeing more balance with increased inventory. Buyers have more inventory than in recent years and lower mortgage rates, giving them more choice and more buying power.”

Sam Wenger
After a career in construction, Sam Wenger knew he wanted a change. Originally licensed as a contractor in Oregon, Wenger moved to Atlanta last year in search of a new challenge. Real estate offered the perfect next step.
“Construction gave me a strong foundation,” Sam says. “But I wanted to try something new in a new state.” Now licensed in real estate and with a background in contracting, he brings a practical, hands-on understanding of homes that many agents simply don’t have.
For Wenger, the most rewarding part of the job is the people he serves. He recently closed on a home on Atlanta’s north side for a couple whose closing date fell on the wife’s birthday. “They were very happy,” he says. “I’m just happy they’re happy.”
With Atlanta preparing to host global events like the upcoming World Cup and continued infrastructure growth across the city, Sam believes now is a strong time to invest. He works with several investors who are actively looking to secure properties ahead of anticipated growth. “A lot of people are happy with where things are compared to even a few months ago,” he notes. “It’s rapidly changing.”
Outside of work, Wenger stays connected to the community through sports and staying active, whether playing basketball at the local YMCA or spending time outdoors.
Sam comes from a large family of builders, and he hopes to eventually merge his real estate expertise with his family’s background. He envisions helping them move beyond building homes to investing in them, creating additional income streams and opportunities.
For now, Sam is focused on building his presence in Atlanta, combining construction knowledge, market insight, and a client-first mindset to help buyers and investors make confident decisions.

Lynn O'Brien
For more than a decade, friends and colleagues told Lynn O’Brien she would be a natural in real estate. But as a single mother raising four children, including one with special needs, timing mattered. With three children involved in travel baseball and a commitment to high personal standards, she knew she couldn’t fully serve clients the way she wanted to.
Two years ago, that window finally opened. “I drove right in,” she says.
Now established in the business, Lynn approaches real estate with one guiding principle: treating every client like family. “Integrity is key,” she explains. “I treat everybody with the highest regard as I do my own family.”
That mindset shapes every part of her process. Real estate transactions can be stressful, but she believes confidence comes from authenticity and clear, upfront communication. As a self-described problem solver, she manages the details behind the scenes so her clients don’t have to carry the burden.
“I don’t bother them with the little things,” she says. “My service is attentive and exceptional.” From preparing for showings to navigating contracts, she walks clients through each step with thorough explanations and factual guidance. Her goal is to create a seamless experience in which clients feel informed, supported, and protected.
Lynn has deep roots in the community. Having grown up locally and raised her children in the surrounding areas, she provides perspective on neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle. “It’s a sense of home for me,” she says.
In today’s market, Lynn sees steady movement. Inventory is increasing, interest rates are stabilizing in the six percent range, and buyers and sellers alike are negotiating more carefully. In a hot market, she advises her clients to price strategically.
“Price the house right, or wait longer to sell,” she notes.
Grounded in integrity, driven by experience, and deeply connected to her community, she brings both heart and strategy to every transaction, helping families navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with confidence.
