SHOALS TEAM
Matt Golley, Founder
Broker | Realtor®
256.577.8863
After graduating from the University of Texas in Austin, my love of helping people began with a career in non-profit development taking me to many different cities, including a few years in the Caribbean. About ten years ago I made the move to the Shoals area, where I found myself renovating historic homes in Downtown Florence. As I was buying homes to renovate, it was a natural step to become a Realtor and help others in my close community who had questions about the buying or selling process. As the years have gone by, I became one of the top Realtors in the Shoals area, and surrounded myself with a team of other real estate professionals to better serve our area.
When not working with buyers and sellers, or personally working on one of my own renovation projects, you’ll find me out and about in downtown Florence, enjoying local music, working at Kodachrome Community Garden, the non-profit I co-founded, or out with friends at one of my favorite locally owned places.
So if you see me, stop and say hi! I’m excited to meet you.
Sami Lamb, Broker | Realtor®

Hi, I’m Sami Lamb, and I’m so excited to help you find your place here in the Shoals. I am the Broker of the Florence office of Fernhill, and I love what I get to do! Whether I am your agent, or assisting another member on our team through your transaction with them - I am so grateful to be a part of your journey.
I fell in love with this beautiful area while attending the University of North Alabama, and now, it’s home—my favorite place to live, work, and explore. Before stepping into the world of real estate, I spent time as a paralegal, where I developed a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of legal processes. Those skills have shaped the way I approach real estate: with precision, care, and a focus on what truly matters to my clients. Whether you're buying your first home or relocating, I’m here to guide you every step of the way with a strong work ethic and a servant’s heart.
Outside of work, my husband Parker, our daughter Gracie, and I live in Florence (just a few doors down from Matt!). We love spending time with family and friends, exploring the stunning natural beauty of the Shoals—whether on land or by water. You may catch me around town in an Empowered class, running in to grab a coffee, or taking a walk at McFarland Park.
Let’s connect! I’m here to help you make the Shoals feel like home.
Sami has NAR certifications in the following specialties:
Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR), Military Relocation Professional (MRP)

She quickly immersed herself in the community, finding new ways to connect and contribute.

Caitlin and her husband, Gus, love life in Florence with their daughter Cai and their two playful pups, Aspen and Denver.

Residential and Investment Properties
256.412.1640
For more than 20 years, I’ve proudly called Florence home — raising my family here and investing in the Shoals community I love. With over a decade as a licensed real estate professional, most of that focused in property management, I have experience in the full lifecycle of real estate: from acquisition and renovations to tenant relations and asset performance.
I’m a graduate of the University of North Alabama with a degree in Public Relations and Marketing. My career has included serving as Executive Director for Shoals Habitat for Humanity, where I helped local families achieve housing stability — a mission that continues to inspire the work I do today. As managing partner of River Cross Properties, I oversee operations for a growing portfolio and understand firsthand what makes a sound investment. My husband and I have personally renovated and invested in more than 10 homes, giving me practical insight into what buyers want and what makes a property stand out.
As part of the Fernhill Realty team, I genuinely enjoy guiding clients through buying, selling, and investing — with confidence, clarity, and a strategy tailored to their goals. Outside of work, you’ll find me spending time with my husband and four children, camping in the mountains, cooking something new, or exploring all the unique places that make the Shoals a unique and amazing community.
Colby Harmening | Real Estate Agent
I am a recent graduate of the University of North Alabama, where I began my journey in real estate as an intern with Fernhill Realty. That experience confirmed my passion for the industry, and I’m proud to now serve as a full-time agent with the Fernhill team.
Growing up in Huntsville, Alabama, I always knew my future would be in sales. While I initially explored a different path within sales, I ultimately chose to pursue a career that allows me to help people during the process.
Now based in Florence, I’m excited to guide clients through every step of their real estate journey. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling a property, or exploring investment opportunities, I would love the opportunity to work with you and help you achieve your real estate goals.

Parker Lamb | Real Estate Agent
Land Specialist & Investment Properties
256.436.5331
A graduate of the University of North Alabama, with a B.S in Engineering Technology and an M.S in Applied Manufacturing Engineering. While I work full-time at TVA, my passion has always been for the outdoors. Prior to launching into my careers, I spent most days on a farm in equestrian care.
While I am originally from Franklin, Tennessee, my family has a deep history in the Shoals, and we all relocated back to Florence in 2014. Since then, I met my wife Sami (also the Broker of the Florence office), and we live in Florence with our daughter Gracie. When I am not working with clients, you may find me jeeping on land with friends or firing up my smoker for a new recipe.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect piece of land, a spot to build on, or exploring investment opportunities, I would love to be your advocate.
Maggie-Grace Vaccaro | Realtor
256.367.8012
Born and raised in North Alabama, I have truly fallen in love with every part of what I proudly call home. I am attending the University of North Alabama and obtaining a degree in Professional Marketing. Throughout my life, one of my greatest strengths has been my ability to connect with people and build meaningful relationships wherever I go.
I have a genuine passion for helping others, guiding them, supporting them, and treating every person the way I would want to be treated. One of my biggest motivations for becoming a realtor is being someone people can trust to guide them through one of the biggest decisions they may ever make: finding a place to call home. Honesty, integrity, and diligence are the foundation of my work, and I pride myself on making others feel loved, heard, and confident every step of the way.
When I’m not working in real estate, you’ll most likely find me enjoying a good cup of coffee, getting lost in a great book, hiking, serving my community, or being involved at my local church, Christ Chapel. I also cherish spending time with my husband, Drew, and walking our dog, Junior. So if you see us walking through the downtown area, feel free to introduce yourself and say hello! We love meeting new faces and making meaningful connections.
