"A well loved home," is how Dean Bright described my brother's home that I was tasked with selling after his passing. The home is in Bogart, Georgia; I live in South Carolina. Dean was in almost daily communication to let me know what was happening and what needed to be done. If I didn't have the name of a contractor my brother used, Dean was ready with a great team to help in any way they could. S… Read Moreince I couldn't be at the house, Dean would meet movers and let people in who needed to get work done. Dean went the extra mile to walk me through the steps of signing, scanning and emailing documents using my phone! Dean took beautiful pictures to show off the home's best qualities and wrote a great description for the online AD. I received an offer the first weekend and just recently closed on the sale of the house. Dean is a trustworthy, knowledgeable and caring Realtor. He's the BEST!" Read Less
"Dean worked with us for over a year to help us find the perfect home, and my wife and I can't say enough good things about the experience. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the greater Watkinsville/Athens area, he truly knows the ins and outs of every corner and you can tell how much he loves living here. We can't emphasize enough how helpful it was having a realtor that knew the area like the b… Read Moreack of his hand, we learned so much throughout the process and can't thank him enough for everything he shared!
Dean never once grew impatient with how long our search lasted, and was always there to encourage us that we would eventually find "the one" despite a tough environment. The thing we appreciated the most about Dean is that he's the furthest thing from pushy as a realtor can get, he always pointed out all his concerns (things the average buyer would never notice) with each home we viewed to make sure we were as educated in our decision process as possible. Never once did we feel pressured to make a decision, if anything he would convince us not to settle when he could tell we weren't fully sold on a home.
He's incredibly responsive, will always take a phone call, and genuinely puts in the extra effort to make sure you walk away a satisfied customer. We couldn't be happier with the house we finally found, and can't thank Dean enough for everything he did for us to make it happen. We don't plan on moving for a very, very long time, but if that time ever comes, there will be no hesitation in who we call.
Thanks again Dean! Jared & Katie" Read Less
