fROM OUR BUYERS
Patti (and Rezide Properties) is the epitome of everything you could want in a home seller; she is knowledgeable, patient, and professional. As first time home buyers, we feel extremely blessed to have worked closely with Patti during our purchase. Although we were not looking to make a home purchase at the time, after one tour of the home and many lengthy conversations with Patti, we were filled with all of the confidence needed to make our first home purchase.
"Our house is very special to us because Tony, Chris and the team worked closely with us to make our house just what we wanted. The doors, hardware, painted brick, great tile work, grey cabinetry etc. and more, made our home a real gem! As an interior designer, I brought some new ideas to the table and Chris and Tony were always willing to try to accommodate. They always returned my e-mails and calls immediately. The team made the process of building a home exciting and pleasurable rather than stressful because I always knew that they had my best interests in mind."
“We had so much fun working with the Rezide team! This is our second home and we were a bit nervous in thinking about the whole process. The agents were so wonderful and the Builder was extra easy to work with. They all made the experience so STRESS FREE! Honestly, it was the design of the home that initially SOLD us! The floorplans available were all so unique, we had a hard time deciding on which one to choose. We had shopped A LOT OF communities/Builders and are delighted with our choice!”
“WE WOULD RECOMMEND REZIDE PROPERTIES, (TONY PERRY, CHRIS LAFAIVE AND THE TEAM) TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME.” Says Renita. “Initially, we chose them to build our home because of the courtyard floorplan being UNLIKE ANY OTHER PRODUCT in the market and the plan fit our downsizing needs perfectly! The courtyard plan provided us with the privacy and entertaining space we were seeking while minimizing exterior maintenance and yard work. From the morning bar to the luxurious master bath and closet space, we have a home that is easy and fun to live in. We had a great time working with them as well.”
“The Rezide team built our dream home in Woodstock. Our plan was built around a wonderful courtyard that is an extension of the living quarters. We open the courtyard to our family room via a 20’ stackable sliding glass door. Tony Perry was integral in the design planned to fit our downsizing lifestyle. The open communication during every phase of construction yielded the exact product we wanted. WOW, is the first comment from most of our friends as they tour our home for the first time and see the attention to detail and quality of construction. We highly recommend that anyone considering building a new home, take a good look at this team of professional homebuilders to create your dream home!”

Chris LaFaive, VP of Production
Chris got his first builders license in Michigan when he was just 19 years old. After three years of building houses there, he pursued his college degree in Chattanooga while running a full-time construction company that specialized in roofing, siding, and deck construction. After a number of years building homes in Tennessee, Chris moved to Atlanta and began building houses with Tony in 2014 – and Rezide Properties was born!
Chris oversees the day to day operations at rezide. He brings an extensive expertise in each part of the homebuilding process to rezide. If you ask chris though, he will be sure to tell anyone that will listen that it is a team effort and nothing could be accomplished without the dedicated, hardworking team that he leads.
When he’s not working, Chris likes to play basketball and travel when he can. He’s a snowboarder and heads out West to Colorado, Utah or anywhere he can find fresh snow.
