Lorie Ramey-Thompson began her real estate career at a very young age. Very, very, early! As a child, Lorie collected quartz rocks from around her home and sold them to her bevy of uncles for spending money. Her family jokes and says Lorie was selling Rabun County dirt before she finished elementary school! It was a short jump from selling local rocks to selling real estate. Originally licensed January 03, 1984, Lorie has seen many changes in the real estate industry. Lorie says she loves selling real estate because no two days are ever the same. There is always something new to learn. She has spent the last 42+ years educating herself to better serve her clients.
Beyond real estate, Lorie is known as a good cook. She writes The Family Table, a monthly column in Georgia Mountain Laurel magazine, and offers tempting recipes for home cooks. She loves to share her recipes and favorite meals with new friends. Lorie is married to a local contractor, Anthony Thompson. They live on the old Thompson Farm in Northwest Rabun and love living along Popcorn Creek.
Anthony and Lorie have two grown children, Joe and Kendall. Joe and his wife, Charli, and their son live in Clayton, and Joe is working with Lorie as a Realtor. Locally known as the Thompson Team, Joe brings energy, and Lorie brings experience. Together they make a dynamic duo!
Kendall and her husband, Bj, live in Clayton. Chef BJ and Kendall are offering local catering and providing some of the best food in the area. Both of Lorie's children knew they wanted to live and raise their own family in Rabun County!
Anthony and Lorie are known for entertaining at their home. They host an annual "Cooking Over Coals Contest," where each entry is to be cooked over wood or charcoal — Dutch oven cooking in the extreme! The best job around is to be a "secret" judge for this competition! Lorie and Anthony also love to spend time outdoors. They have a large vegetable garden, and Lorie loves to can and preserve the home-grown bounty. Anthony is an avid deer hunter and fisherman, and Lorie loves camping and cooking outdoors. They make a great team! Their story is not complete without mention of Jazz, their mountain cur dog. Jazz isthe real boss of the Thompson home.
