Why Home Is More Than a Place — It’s Where Family Happens

David Pruett  |  November 12, 2025

When people think about buying or selling a home, they often focus on the practical details — square footage, school districts, commute times, property values. And yes, those things matter. But after a decade of serving Atlanta families, one truth continues to guide everything I do in real estate: home is so much more than a place — it’s where life happens.

Ansley Real Estate recently celebrated 10 years of helping Atlanta families find their place in the world, and the message woven through their anniversary stories resonated a lot with me. A home isn’t just an address — it’s the backdrop for the moments that shape us. It’s where holidays are celebrated, milestones cherished, and everyday memories formed around the dinner table, the kitchen island, or the backyard on a summer night.

From the first night you sleep in a new space to the last box you unpack, a home becomes a reflection of who you are and who you’re becoming. I’ve watched families welcome babies, host graduation parties, build traditions, and find community in the neighborhoods they choose to call home.

In Atlanta, we’re lucky — our neighborhoods aren’t just collections of houses, they’re communities. Whether it’s the charm of Virginia Highlands, the energy of Brookhaven, the front-porch culture of Oakhurst, or the timeless streets of Druid Hills, each community offers a unique rhythm and sense of belonging. The right home elevates your lifestyle, but the right neighborhood surrounds your family with connection.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Ansley’s milestone celebration, it’s that home has the power to influence our lives for the better. The home you choose next should inspire you, support your family, and align with the life you’re creating. Whether it’s a first home, a new home to grow into, or a home that brings you closer to what matters most — it should feel like the start of a beautiful new chapter.

It’s a privilege to walk alongside families during these meaningful transitions. To witness the excitement, the nervousness, the joy, and the relief when the keys finally change hands… it never gets old.

As your Atlanta Realtor, my goal is to help you find more than a house. I’m here to help you find the place where family happens, where memories are built, and where life feels truly lived.
