Dean is impeccably polite, immensely ethical, and highly knowledgeable. He responded to absolutely every text, call, or email in a very timely fashion. He is directive and gives excellent advice when you need him to; but he also backs off to give you plenty of space for independent decision-making, without any kind of pressure at all.

If you need a realtor in the Athens area, it's gotta be Dean, full stop. He executed everything we asked for in good faith, even though he didn't personally stand to gain much from his work. He treated the sale how a lesser realtor would reserve only for very valuable houses. He double timed getting to market, priced perfectly, and we had an offer that we accepted within 24 hours of listing.

Dean did an outstanding job in helping my parents sell their home! From our initial interview with him, we were impressed with his professionalism, integrity, and genuine concern for others. Throughout the process, he kept us well informed of the market and offered sound advice in helping us to make various decisions related to the sale. I would highly recommend Dean because of his knowledge, trustworthiness, and sincere desire to provide the best service for his clients.
