Our Story

CENTURY 21 Lindsey & Pauley

Deeply Rooted in North Georgia

Century 21 Lindsey & Pauley is a family owned and operated Real Estate company located in Jasper, GA. Their business was started by the current owner’s grandfather, J.L. White, in 1972. J.L., who grew up in Tate & served in the U.S. Navy during WWII, was a pharmacist and opened the Tate Drug Store with Arthur Allred. J.L then decided to open the Allred-White Rexall pharmacy on North Main Street in Jasper which featured the beloved soda fountain which was a favorite gathering place for so many in the community. After he retired as a pharmacist, he decided that he wanted to continue helping people and introducing them to the beautiful area of North Georgia which he loved so he decided to open up a real estate firm. His two son-in-laws, Tom Lindsey & Larry Pauley, eventually went to work with him and Tom & Larry affiliated with the national franchise, Century 21, in 1990 after J.L. retired.

At the beginning of 2007, J.L.’s granddaughter, Joanna Pauley Kearns, took over the family business and continues to run it today. In 2014, she decided to move their office from the log cabin on the corner of Hwy 515 to their current location at 25 N. Main Street in downtown Jasper. She was excited to help occupy a vacant space and help bring business back to downtown during a time when many buildings were vacant and it was a great fit to be centered in the town that they work in and love. Century 21 Lindsey & Pauley is a third generation, full-service Real Estate Brokerage which is locally owned and deep rooted in the Jasper Community. They have welcomed many people to the North Georgia area over the years and will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2022. They pride themselves on serving their clients with excellent service & with the same values of honesty & integrity that their founder, J.L. White, thought were so important. They consider themselves a boutique real estate firm with a team of 25 real estate professionals who love serving Jasper & the surrounding areas.
