The Athens Real Estate Company

Whether you're looking to buy or rent your next home I recommend The Athens Real Estate Company. Their helpful and courteous staff take the time to listen to your wants and needs whole heartedly. They recommend and lead...they don't push! They make you #1 in the journey-from beginning to end. The realtors and property management are friendly and caring! Don't believe me? Call and talk to Blake or Amy today. I'm a believer and you will be too.

I lived in an apartment on Franklin Avenue for a year and had a great experience. The apartment wasn’t perfect (minor things like scuffs/ scratches) but the rent was more than fair for the location, utilities were cheap, and management was always responsive. Our emails were answered within 48 hours, if not sooner, and anyone we spoke to on the phone was always professional and helpful. Lydia was always kind, helpful, and professional, which made renting much more enjoyable. Maintenance was also great! Any requests we had were completed very quickly (sometimes within the hour) and maintenance was always kind and respectful when entering the apartment (always wearing masks during COVID, taking their shoes off, etc). The only downside was street parking, which was free and not management’s fault, it was just difficult to find a parking space in front of the apartment sometimes. However, it’s much better than paying for parking. I always recommend Athens Real Estate Company to anyone looking for affordable housing!

Two years ago I was looking for a place to rent. Two years later, I am moving out of the area and grateful for the amazing experience I have had with this company. I came across AREC and they were extremely helpful in the process! Once the place was signed and I was moved in, they were easy to reach with any questions or concerns I had. Also, maintenance was INCREDIBLE! They were quick to respond to my requests and respectful and considerate of my space. I highly recommend AREC to anyone looking to rent in Athens!

I bought my first house last year through Becky Mount at The Athens Real Estate Company and she was awesome! She worked with me to understand what I was really looking for, my price range, and things that I would like to have but was willing to compromise on. She always answered or responded to my phone calls quickly and never hesitated to visit homes with me on short notice, even when we knew they maybe weren't going to be a good fit. There was never any pressure to make an offer and she was committed to continuing to look for a place until we found what I wanted. I was on a very low budget but my realtor always treated me like I was buying a million-dollar home, focused on ensuring that I would be happy with my purchase. I could not have asked for an easier or more pleasant experience in buying my first home!

Our experience with Brooke as first time buyers was completely flawless. She was endlessly patient and helpful, and several times went above-and-beyond to help us. More than that, she's just an all round great person. We cannot say enough good things. Recommended +++.

Absolutely love Athens Real Estate n Amanda is a sweetheart. She's been my agent twice. Now she is part of the family. Love ya Amanda...

Russell was very patient and helpful in selling my home, helped me get a fair market price. Felt Athens Real Estate Company did all they could to help sell my home in a timely efficient manner.

Russ & his team managed my Unit at University Commons. We purchased it while our kids went to OU & kept it for 6+ years after our kids had finished with OU because it was a great investment where we averaged over 7% return on our money (AFTER all expenses paid!!) Real estate is a great way to keep your investments diversified. The Athens real estate management team allowed this all to go well for us since we lived too far away to participate. Lydia always acquired great OU students as tenants and managed any concerns that occurred quickly, effectively & kept us in the know. When we finally decided to sell because prices were where we wanted them to be, Russ completely helped the sale to go smoothly without issue. Thank you so much. Eric & Terri Becker

Our experience with The Athens Real Estate Company was essentially flawless. Our agent, Amanda Sharrai, was very informed, hard-working and professional. The support staff, internet outreach, advertising and advice we received made the sale of our home far less stressful and the process was actually enjoyable. They made the positive aspects more apparent to us and had great information that helped maximize our sale. Thank you AREC. We would gladly use you in the future.

Russell was very patient and did his research for us when we were looking to buy. Very knowledgeable about the area and the pros and cons of living in most neighborhoods. A true professional. As a whole, the team at AREC made buying our first house very easy.

Gloria is a LIFE SAVER!!

My family of 6 is renting from a leading competitor, our experience with them has been a NIGHTMARE. We are having to move in an emergency situation due to black mold poisoning. I called around to handfuls of people with no luck, but Gloria jumped in right away to help our family find a new, safe, and well taken care of rental! She is the calm to our chaos!

I worked with the Liz Maule/Ally Rapp team to sell my previous home and purchase a new home about a year ago. Liz, Alex and Ally worked as a team to make sure the experience was a positive one. Liz paid attention to my specific needs and was proactive in suggesring I look at the house I eventually bought. Alex went out of his way to make the selling process go smoothly and Ally filled in as needed. I highly recommend them!

Good rental company! Do their job responsibly, fix any issues with the apartment quickly. The online payment system is also very convenient, not a lot of companies have that. Recommend!

Recently relocated to Athens and had the pleasure to work with Carole Schloss and Amanda Sharrai at Athens Real Estate Company. They helped find a unique property that fit our needs and suited our lifestyle. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Athens area.

We have worked with Russell for over a decade. He is dedicated, creative, and an outstanding human. I highly recommend him and his agency, the Athens Real Estate Company.

Thank you Athens Real Estate for making my experience living in Athens a great one! Top notch management and I'll definitely refer any friends to rent/buy here in the future.

Russell was amazing. He helped us find a great house, tremendous knowledge of houses,
Rural properties and Athens!

Russell really knows the territory. He found us an ideal home and when the time came, he got it sold for us. I highly recommend him.

Liz was absolutely the best to work with especially considering I was making a purchase during a pandemic. She was in constant contact and I could not have made a better choice

Had a very good experience buying a house with them. Realtors are very patient and helpful and they are easy to work with.
