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.

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.

Leadership

The builders

Tony Perry

Co-Owner · Land & Development

Building since 1978. A Certified Professional Homebuilder with the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, named a Greater Atlanta Builder of the Year, and the creative mind behind Rezide’s floor plans.

His communities have earned industry recognition including a Gold OBIE Award for The Village at Towne Lake — and his volunteer build for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition put a Georgia family in a new home in front of the whole country.

Chris LaFaive

Co-Founder · Construction

Licensed builder at nineteen, Chris runs Rezide’s building operations end to end — purchasing, estimating, scheduling, and the weekly rhythm that keeps every job honest.

A downtown Woodstock investor and community advocate, he’s shared the stage at design panels on the future of hometown living — and walks our jobs the way he always has: daily.
