If you’ve been thinking, “This might be the year I finally invest,” then let me point you in the right direction.
Patty Burns and Trip Wilhoit of Fickling & Company are the people I recommend when it comes to commercial real estate in Milledgeville, Gray, and Macon. Between Patty’s 20+ years of experience and Trip’s sharp eye for opportunity and negotiation, they know how to spot properties that make sense — not just on paper, but for real, long-term growth.
What I love most about working with Patty and Trip is how intentional they are. They take the time to understand your goals, walk you through your options, and help you feel confident in every decision. Whether you’re looking to invest, expand your business, or explore what’s possible this year, you’ll be in good hands.
If commercial real estate has been on your mind at all, start with Patty and Trip.

Morning Grind is one of those places that quietly becomes part of your routine before you even realize it. A quick stop turns into a favorite order, which turns into familiar faces behind the counter and a sense of belonging.
Owned by Bridgette and Jared Smith, Morning Grind serves thoughtfully crafted coffee, creative specialty drinks, and just the right baked treat to go with it. Beyond the menu, what really stands out is their heart for the community, including their partnership with the Life Enrichment Center, creating meaningful job opportunities through their coffee truck.
It’s a reminder that good coffee tastes even better when it’s rooted in purpose.
