Local Woodstock REALTOR® Shares What It Means to Be Rooted in Georgia in Statewide Campaign

[Woodstock, GA] — For Mike Pennington, being a REALTOR® isn't just about helping people find properties — it's about helping them find home and community. That's why Georgia REALTORS® (GAR) chose Mike, a commercial director with Path & Post Real Estate, and member of the Cherokee Association of REALTORS® and Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS®, as a featured ambassador for "Rooted in Georgia,” a statewide campaign celebrating the REALTORS® who are woven into the very fabric of their communities.

“Rooted in Georgia” highlights the deep community connections REALTORS® foster across the state, showcasing their professional excellence and commitment to the people and places they serve. Through personal storytelling and local spotlights, the campaign underscores how REALTORS® help Georgians put down roots and thrive in their communities.

“Hard work ‘ain’t so bad’ when you choose to be a part of an entrepreneur’s dreams,” said Mike. “Many of our clients take a big leap of faith at some point in starting or expanding their business in our community. I find that inspiring.”

Every day, Mike supports local businesses, drives the same roads, and invests in the same community as the people and families he helps settle in the Woodstock and outlying areas. It's this deep connection to place and people that makes REALTORS® like Mike more than professionals — they're neighbors, volunteers, community advocates, and friends.

Mike began his commercial real estate career in 2007, building a business rooted in trust, service, and a genuine commitment to the people and places that make Woodstock special. Over the years, he has become known not only for his expertise in commercial real estate, but also for his passion for helping local businesses find the right space to grow and thrive. Whether it’s guiding a new entrepreneur in the local community to their first storefront or assisting an established company in expanding its reach, Mike approaches every opportunity with the same dedication and care he brings to his community work.

Outside of real estate, Mike wears many hats — from guitar picker to long-time advocate and champion of Habitat for Humanity in North Central Georgia. His involvement with Habitat reflects his belief that everyone deserves a place to call home, and his volunteerism continues to make a tangible impact on the lives of others. With his deep roots in Woodstock, Mike embodies what it means to be “Rooted in Georgia” – building connections, fostering opportunity, and helping his community grow stronger every day.

The “Rooted in Georgia” campaign will run through the end of 2026, featuring REALTORS® from across the state who embody GAR’s mission of service and professionalism.

Georgia REALTORS® (also referred to as “Georgia Association of REALTORS®”) is a voluntary professional association of approximately 49,000 licensed real estate brokers and salespersons engaged in all aspects of the real estate business throughout Georgia. GAR is the leading advocate for the real estate industry in Georgia, committed to protecting private property rights and free enterprise, maintaining ethical and professional standards, and enhancing the public’s awareness and confidence in REALTORS®.
