About Me

Member of the Athens Area Association of REALTORS®, Georgia Association of REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS®. I was a REALTOR® with 1st Choice Realty Seneca, Seneca SC, from 2005 through the beginning of 2008 when I decided to stay closer to home, family, and all the traditions of Athens. I grew up in Athens and graduated from UGA with a BBA from the Terry College. In 2005 Qualified for Top Producer with sales in excess of $2 million. In 2006 Qualified for Top Producer with sales in excess of $4 million. Primary duties were the pricing of property, marketing, and advertising through the printed media and the internet. Recently became the Real Estate Columnist for The Oconee Leader.

A home isn't a dream home because of its room dimensions. It's about how you feel when you walk through the front door. And the way you can instantly envision your life unfolding there. This is about more than real estate. It's about your life and your dreams. Let me help you realize those dreams. The Keller Williams Difference: Knowledge: Powerful curriculum through Keller Williams University keeps our associates ahead of trends, tools and advancements in the real estate industry. Teamwork: Unlike other real estate companies, Keller Williams Realty was designed to reward agents for working together, to serve our clients better. Reliability: Keller Williams Realty was founded on the principles of trust and honesty, emphasizing the importance of having the integrity to do the right thing and always putting our client's needs first. Speed: Leading-edge technology solutions accelerate our associates' efficiency and productivity.

Areas of Expertise

An Associate-Broker with Prudential Georgia Realty, I have experience dealing with all sorts of buyers from traditional Primary Residential needs to second home buyers and investors. I also have good experience in pricing property for my listing clients to maximize dollar value for my clients. As someone who has lived in every part of the Athens/Oconee County area I am very aware of what goes on in this market place. My other focus is Lake Hartwell lakefront property. As a Realtor who cut his teeth on lakefront property, nothing gives me so much joy in my business than to help my clients find that perfect lake home or lake lot to build their dream home on in the future!

I have found that Hank is very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. Hank has always been responsive and detail oriented. I have always been impressed that Hank stayed abreast of market trends not only for himself but for his real estate clients as well. He is a very hard working and self motivated individual." Cynthia Swafford

“I cannot adequately express my deep appreciation and gratitude for all that you did to help me through this grueling home-buying process. Your high level of expertise, knowledge and professionalism were why I wanted to work with you, but I was also continually grateful for your warmth and heartfelt friendliness. I am firmly convinced that I got the best representation from contract to due diligence, and all the way to final closing because I was working with you. Thank you so very much for all the guidance and many little extras that you provided. “ Thanks again.Donna H.; Seneca Homeowner Waterford Pointe - 2006

“No one will work harder for you than Hank. Hank is outgoing and is a natural at reaching out to people. I am impressed with Hank's ingenuity and persistence regarding the development of both his personal and professional networks. Hank and I will soon become charter members of a local chapter of a well-regarded civic organization, Civitan International. Through our involvement there, it is clear that Hank is a man of principles and has a strength of character that is also readily apparent. I recommend without reservation that you seek opportunities to have Hank serve you as your real estate representative.” July 14, 2008. K Martin, Oconee County

"We just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the support and knowledge you provided us with throughout the home buying process. Being first time home buyers was intimidating in the beginning, but throughout the process we felt very comfortable knowing you were representing us. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into being our Realtor, and for getting us such a great deal! We will recommend you to any of our friends or family looking to buy or sell a home in the Athens area!" Josh and Erica Sweat from the purchase of 485 Springdale Street, written 3/10/09

"We couldn't have asked for a more top-notch real estate agent than Hank! From our first meeting, it was clear to Dan and me that we had an ally who could lead, assist, and support us. Although we were relocated out of town, we felt confident in Hank's ability to properly advertise and market our home. Hank listened to our concerns and put us at ease by laying out a professional framework including, but not limited to, market analysis, weekly emails and calls, brochures and flyers placed in our home, and marketing our house using every venue possible. He even visited our home weekly to make sure it looked and showed well, even down to changing out a light bulb! We have been through the process of buying and selling property a few times now and Hank is so far ahead of the competition in resources, service, technology, and class that there is no comparison. But most importantly to us, Hank possesses a unique gift of being such a personable realtor. He truly makes you feel as if you are his only client! It was a pleasure to have had you, Hank, working on our behalf. We wish you continued success and we would recommend you above anyone else in residential real estate!" Dan and Emily Leverett from the sale of their home at 74 Shepherds Court, written 4/10/09
