Ratings & Reviews

Mary Welsh

Dean Bright was an outstanding agent in every respect in helping us find and purchase our home. He was extremely knowledgeable and straightforward in helping us navigate the negotiation and inspection process. He listened carefully to what we were looking for and he has a great, no-nonsense style. He guided us as far as the right questions to ask and what to expect. We were very pleased with his efforts, communications, reliability and professionalism. I am very glad we chose to work with Dean. He was an excellent buyer's agent for us. I would highly recommend that you speak with Dean if you need a real estate agent in the Athens, GA area.

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. This was very important to me since I live out of state and was trying to assist my parents with the sale of their home. Dean consistently kept all of us aware of the progress of the sale through emails, phone calls, and visits to my parents. If you are a seller or buyer, I would highly recommend Dean because of his knowledge, trustworthiness, and sincere desire to provide the best service for his clients.

Dean Bright was highly recommended by my new employer when I moved to Georgia so I naturally called him when my family was ready to buy a home and property. My husband and I usually have opposite taste in people we meet and, previous to our association with Dean Bright, we unfortunately did not have a stellar history with real estate agents. After meeting and talking with Dean, however, we both liked him right away and as we got to know him better and he helped us find, negotiate and purchase our dream home/property, our respect and admiration for him have only increased. Dean is intelligent, well educated, likeable, respectful, and an excellent professional. We were so impressed that he took the time to find us exactly what we were looking for and he really "went to bat" for us in the process of purchasing our home and beyond. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I would certainly call him if I ever (heaven forbid) consider selling or buying property again!

Dean Bright worked with me for 2 days 10 years ago when I bought my house in Athens. He was very knowledgeable about the properties we saw. He found the perfect place for me. In the years since, I called on him several times for names of contractors to help me at my home. When it came time to sell, Dean was there. My house sold in one day. I have recommended Dean to others over the years and they, too, we’re very happy with his service. I couldn’t have found a better realtor. Everything was seamless - buying and selling. Dean is honest, well informed and a great person to work with.
