Elliott Davenport, Jr
Land Broker
There is always something that sets great companies apart from good companies. It’s understanding that what you’re selling—in our case, land—is more than just a product. It’s greater than the sum of its parts. It’s an experience, a lifestyle, a place for making memories.
In a world where relationships have gone digital, our clients will tell you that we are accessible and authentic. We know that the natural world that surrounds us is something to be revered and taken care of. If there is one achievement we’re most proud of as a company, it’s pairing land with people who desire to leave a legacy of good stewardship.
It’s been our privilege to represent some of the most rare and outstanding properties across the southeast.

Will Goldin is an affiliate broker with The Wings Group. For as long as he can remember, he has had a passion for the exciting and diverse natural habitats of the southeast; a landscape that has guided him in his career.
Nearly two hundred years ago, Will’s family moved to Northwest Georgia, and they have been in the area ever since. He had the opportunity to grow up on his family farm near the Georgia-Alabama line, where he gained insight into efficient and effective land management practices, especially for growing timber, farming, and recreation—skills that his clients depend on when searching for and marketing their own properties. It was on that North Georgia farm where he experienced the depth of the impact that land can have on a person and a family.
Will is passionate about being a sound advisor to the past and future stewards of the places that he represents. He graduated from Auburn University where he studied Wildlife Management and Finance. Will lives in Chattanooga. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting and flyfishing with friends and family. Will is licensed in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee.

Erica brings experience from a twenty-year career specialized in marketing real estate. She is a graduate of James Madison University in Virginia and has a master’s from Florida State University. She was one of the early members of Arvida’s Capital Region marketing team representing St. Joe (NYSE: JOE), then was recruited to head the marketing program of one of the first conservation communities in North Florida. She has founded two marketing companies – directing the marketing services for land brokers of unique properties which have correlated to shorter absorption periods and greater values.
A New Englander by birth and a southerner through marriage and love for the lifestyle, Erica is passionate about the traditions and history of the places she markets, often uncovering ties between the people who have come from familiar places of her childhood to these special lands in the south. Memories of riding with her grandfather on Sunday evenings on their family farm in Connecticut to scouting the deer in the back field instilled a fondness in her for land and the lifestyle and legacy it provides. When she and her husband, Harper, a forestry consultant, and their young son are not at home on their land in the Red Hills region in Monticello, Florida, they usually get away to their family cottage at St. Teresa beach to cast a line in the Gulf. They love Labrador retrievers and hikes in the mountains. Erica serves on the board and leadership team of The Jesus Alliance, on the board of Experience Monticello, is a member of the Jefferson County Founder’s Circle Garden Club, and is a supporting member of Tall Timbers.
