Rayshell Scott
Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers Peachtree City office · 1218 N Peachtree Pkwy, Peachtree City, GA 30269
Rayshell Scott is an Associate Broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers, working out of the firm’s Peachtree City office on North Peachtree Parkway. An associate broker in Georgia holds a full broker’s licence — the level above a salesperson — and practises under a supervising broker rather than running their own firm.
She sells homes across Fayette, Coweta, Clayton, Fulton, Rockdale and Henry counties, from first houses in the low $200,000s to estates over $1 million. Her listings and closings over the last three years run from $250,000 to $1.9 million, and most of them are four- and five-bedroom houses for families moving within the south metro.

Residential resale, both sides of the table
Houses — not commercial property, and not a new-build sales office. In practice that is four things.
Listing and selling homes
Pricing, preparing the house, photography and marketing, showings, offers, negotiation, and managing the contract through to closing.
Representing buyers
Searching, touring, advising on value and condition, writing and negotiating offers, and steering the inspection, appraisal and financing deadlines.
Getting a house ready to sell
She keeps a list of tradespeople — landscapers, painters, flooring, cleaners, dumpster rental — and coordinates the work herself rather than handing a seller a list of numbers to call. It is the thing her reviews mention most often.
Out-of-state and investor buyers
A share of her closings are buyers purchasing in metro Atlanta from elsewhere, who need someone on the ground to view properties and run the transaction.
Nine towns, south and east of Atlanta
Her business is concentrated in Fayette County and the towns around it. Every house below is one she sold. Each town has a full guide.
Peachtree City
Her office town. One active listing and three sales.

She also closes business outside these nine towns — Atlanta itself, and towns like Lawrenceville, Acworth and Locust Grove — usually for clients she has worked with before or who were referred to her. If the house you are interested in is not in one of the towns above, ask her anyway.
First-time buyers, and people moving up
Those are the two groups, and they need different things. What does not change is the order.
A conversation first
What you can spend, where you need to be, what you are willing to trade. She would rather talk before you start touring than after you have seen fifteen houses.
A written agreement before the first showing
Since 17 August 2024, any agent working through an MLS must have a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home. Hers sets out what she does for you and how she is paid, and the terms are negotiable.
Searching
You will get listings matched to what you said in step one, not everything on the market. You can also search the MLS yourself and save what you like.
Touring and advising
What the house is worth, what is wrong with it, and what it will cost to put right.
The offer
Price, terms, what to ask the seller to pay, and how hard to push. Negotiation is what her reviews single out most.
Contract to closing
Inspection, repairs, appraisal, lender deadlines. She keeps in touch through the whole thing — the second most common thing her reviews mention is that she tells people what is happening.
More on buying with Rayshell, or read the buyer guide.
She runs the prep, not just the listing
The trades, the schedule and the oversight are hers. Sellers in her reviews describe her organising landscapers, painters, flooring, cleaners and dumpsters, and checking the work before paying for it.
A walk-through and a price
She looks at the house, then at what has actually sold nearby and what it sold for, and gives you a number with the reasoning behind it. If the house needs work to reach that number, she will say so.
Getting it ready
This is the part she does differently. She brings in the trades, schedules them and oversees the work, so you are not project-managing your own house sale.
Marketing
Photography, the MLS, syndication to the major portals, her own site, and her database of past clients and buyers.
Showings and offers
She handles the scheduling and the feedback, and brings you every offer with an honest read on it — not just the highest number, but which buyer is most likely to close.
Contract to closing
Inspection negotiation, appraisal, and the lender's timeline.

The six that come up most
Which towns does Rayshell Scott cover?
Peachtree City, Fayetteville and Tyrone in Fayette County; Newnan in Coweta; Fairburn in south Fulton; Jonesboro in Clayton; Stockbridge and Hampton in Henry; and Conyers in Rockdale. She also takes business elsewhere in metro Atlanta, usually by referral.
What brokerage is she with, and what licence does she hold?
She is an Associate Broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers, based in the firm’s Peachtree City office at 1218 N Peachtree Parkway, Peachtree City, GA 30269. An associate broker holds a Georgia broker’s licence — a level above a salesperson’s licence — and practises under a supervising broker. The brokerage office number is (404) 843-2500; Rayshell’s direct number is (678) 761-0949.
Does she work with first-time buyers?
Yes, and a large share of her reviews are from them. First-time buyers take more explaining and more hand-holding through inspection and financing, which is the part of the job her reviews say she does well.
Do I have to sign something before she can show me a house?
Yes. Since 17 August 2024, an agent working through an MLS has to have a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home, in person or on a live video tour. The agreement has to state plainly what the agent will be paid and how. The terms are negotiable, and Rayshell will go through it with you before you see anything.
How does she decide what my house should list for?
From what comparable houses near you have actually closed at recently, adjusted for condition, and from what is currently competing with you on the market. She gives you the number and the evidence behind it. Where the house needs work to reach a higher number, she will tell you what the work is and what it is likely to cost before you commit to it.
What is the quickest way to reach her?
Call or text (678) 761-0949, or use the contact form on this site. She is also reachable at the Peachtree City office on (404) 843-2500.
