In 1996 Lynn purchased the real estate firm of Highlands Falls Realty and renamed the company “Signature Properties of Highlands”, working together with the same team plus additional agents. Signature Properties blossomed over the years to become the largest selling real estate firm in the Highlands-Cashiers area. In 2011, Signature Properties joined Meadows Mountain Realty. The original team of Judy Michaud, Johnny White and Lynn Kimball remain together today with a total of 15 full time Realtors, combining the best of both firms under the name of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty. Lynn and her husband Kerry reside on Satulah Mountain in Highlands, along with their six dogs and a cat. They have two daughters and eight grandchildren who live locally. Lynn’s quote, “When we moved to Highlands, I never looked back. It’s fun to visit other areas of the country, but I have never been tempted to live anywhere else. There’s no place like home.”

Although she has enjoyed much success in her real estate dealings, she considers herself not the typical fast-paced, high-pressure Realtor, but more of a partner and ally in helping people discover and live their dreams. She enjoys writing and songwriting, hiking and travel. Betty is a graduate of the Leadership Highlands program and has served on the boards of Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Highlands Historical Society.
