We granted Tyrone Creamer’s application for interlocutory review of the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence that was discovered during a search of his home. In two separate enumerations of error, Creamer argues that there was insufficient probable cause to support the issuance of the warrant to search his home. For the reasons set forth infra, we affirm.

Viewed in the light most favorable to the trial court’s ruling,1 the evidence shows that on March 11, 2015, an investigator with the Atlanta Police Department’s narcotics unit received an anonymous tip that a man was selling marijuana from a residence located at 3248 Ward Drive the Ward Drive residence. Later that same day, a confidential informant CI, who was very reliable and who had helped the City of Atlanta’s narcotics unit on numerous occasions resulting in numerous successful narcotics related search warrants and arrests, went to the Ward Drive residence to attempt to purchase marijuana.2 Upon her arrival, the CI walked up to the door of the residence and asked the man who answered the door later identified as Dred for $40 worth of marijuana. Dred advised the CI that he had left the marijuana in his car, and he then walked across the street to a silver vehicle that was parked directly in front of the residence to retrieve it. When he returned from the car, the man sold the CI approximately .272 grams of marijuana for $40.
