Meet Our Team
Jerry R. Smith
Managing Broker
Originally from Texas, I met my wife, Lee Anne, while attending TCU, and we married when I was just 20 years old. Music has always been part of our lives—I grew up playing trumpet, and Lee Anne plays flute. We raised our daughter, Lauren, and moved to Colorado in 2003 before eventually relocating to Atlanta in 2025. My 30 year career in IT equipped me with valuable management and leadership skills that now serve as a strong foundation for running a successful real estate business.
As co-owner and managing broker of True Joy Realty, I’m committed to integrity, professionalism, and service. Building this business with Lauren allows us to combine our experience, shared faith, and passion for helping others. I believe real estate is about more than transactions; it’s about building relationships, guiding people through important decisions, and helping families find a place to call home.
Lauren Dennis
Realtor
I’m a licensed REALTOR® with five years of experience and co-owner of True Joy Realty alongside my dad. Guided by my faith and passion for helping others, I’m committed to providing personalized service, honest guidance, and a positive real estate experience. I believe buying or selling a home is about more than a transaction; it’s about helping people navigate life’s transitions and find a place to call home.
Originally from Texas, I grew up in Colorado before feeling called to Georgia in 2020. My husband, Carson, and I made the move with our two cats and two dogs. Outside of real estate, I enjoy singing and writing music. In 2025, I won the Audience Choice Award at the Cobb Idol competition at the historic Marietta Strand Theatre. My faith, family, and love for people guide everything I do.
