Dream. Design. Build.

Built by neighbors

Rezide Properties · Woodstock, Lake Arrowhead & Big Canoe

We exist to create home and work environments where people can thrive. That sentence hangs over everything we do — every lot we walk, every plan we draw, every family we hand keys to.

Our Story

Two builders, one standard

Tony Perry has been building homes since 1978. He founded his first homebuilding company in 1989 and went on to build more than 1,200 homes in Woodstock’s Towne Lake community alone — along with office spaces and commercial work across greater Atlanta.

Chris LaFaive earned his builder’s license at nineteen in Michigan and spent his first years framing houses in northern winters. The two met during the housing downturn, far from a job site — and when the market came back, Tony asked Chris to build with him. Rezide Properties was born, and Chris has run the day-to-day of every build since.

Today the Rezide team builds move-in ready homes and custom estates across North Georgia — Woodstock, Lake Arrowhead, and Big Canoe — with the same rule on every lot: build it like a neighbor is watching. Because one usually is.

March 2007 · Waleska, Georgia

The week 5,000 neighbors built a house

In 2007, ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition came to Waleska, Georgia to build a home for the Tipton-Smith family. Tony Perry led the volunteer build — thousands of volunteers, one week, one deserving family. The episode aired March 11, 2007.

Waleska is home to Lake Arrowhead — the same community where Rezide builds today. We didn’t come here for a market. We came back to a place we’d already built for.

Our Team

The people behind every home

From the first lot walk to the final walkthrough, these are the people who design, buy for, build, and stand behind every Rezide home.

Katie Hebel, Vice President of Production

Katie Hebel

Vice President of Production

Katie has been with Rezide for 10 years and has worn quite a few hats along the way. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Public Policy and a minor in Communications. She started as an Administrative Assistant, helped with bookkeeping, then moved into the Controller role, followed by Purchasing, and now serves as Vice President of Production.

She truly loves her job and the team. Rezide has continually given her opportunities to learn, grow, and take on new challenges, which has helped shape her into the leader she is today.

Outside of work, Katie is married to Aaron, and they have a 3½-year-old son and a goldendoodle named Nahla. She loves spending time with her family, hot yoga, reading, traveling, and finding new projects to take on — because apparently, she does not know how to sit still at work or at home!

Aaron joined the Rezide team in 2019 after he and his wife Katie had the opportunity to build their dream home through Rezide. During the building process, Aaron learned that his diverse background in business management, logistics, and the arts had prepared him for the challenge of building a custom home. At completion, he felt he had finally found the creative outlet he spent the first 15 years of his work life looking for.

Aaron loves working with clients to craft their dream into reality. His clients appreciate his eye for design, his passion for building, and his attention to detail. Building a custom home comes with challenges, but he can often be heard saying that the process should be fun and as pain-free as possible for the clients we work with!

Outside of work, you can find Aaron enjoying life with his wife Katie and their 3-year-old son in Downtown Woodstock. He loves hanging with friends around town and going to concerts regularly — and if you catch him on their golf cart, you can’t miss the giant smile on his face.
