REALTOR®

Lake Martin has been part of my life for 46 years, and for the past 23 years, I’ve been blessed to call it home full-time. I don’t just help people buy and sell Lake Martin real estate—I live here, love it here, and know the communities, coves, neighborhoods, and lifestyle that make this lake so special.

As a REALTOR with Aronov Realty Lake Martin, I work with both buyers and sellers, including clients from across the country. Many of my buyers are searching—and even making offers—from out of state, so they rely on me to be their eyes and ears here at Lake Martin. That means going beyond pictures and videos to gather the details, answer the questions, and provide the local insight they need to make informed decisions with confidence.

Whether you’re searching for your dream lake home, a weekend getaway, a waterfront investment, or you’re ready to sell your current property, I’m here to guide you through the process from beginning to end. When it comes to Lake Martin real estate, local knowledge is priceless—and there’s simply no substitute for the knowledge that comes from decades of actually living the Lake Martin life.

46 years of Lake Martin living. 23 years calling it home. Lake Sweet Lake. ❤️

I’m Gary G. Warren, but all my friends call me “GW.” I grew up in Montgomery and served in the U.S.Navy after graduation from Lee High School. I raised my two children in Montgomery while working for CSX Railroad and later in insurance sales. In 1998, I moved to the Lake Martin area working in sales and have worked there as a Realtor with Aronov Lake Martin since 2007. I’m proud to be an active part of the Lake Martin community and serve with the Lake Martin Area Chamber of Commerce and as a Union volunteer firefighter.

I enjoy working with Buyers and Sellers to discover the Lake Martin home that suits their interests. My in-depth experience working in the Lake Martin market and a sales career filled with success in matching the interests of Buyers and Sellers has served my clients.
