Areas of Expertise

Paul & Jerri have lived in the Athens area for 15 years and are very involved with the community. They are members of the Chamber of Commerce and have been involved in volunteer activities supporting the Oconee County Commissioners, Athens Academy, and both have completed the Leadership Oconee program offered through the Chamber of Commerce.

They attend realtor functions frequently and actively work to stay up to date on new developments in the area. Paul currently serves on the MLS Board of Directors for the Athens Area Association of Realtors. Paul has the following designations: ePRO, GRI, Life Member Million Dollar Club- AAAR, and Jerri is an Associate Broker, ePRO, GRI, Life Member Million Dollar Club- AAAR and CDPE.

Jerri as recently obtained the CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) designation. This was an intensive 2 day class that showed the process of successfully closing short sales. There are so many agents handling short sales with no training to help them get through the process. This course provided a detailed reference guide, checklists, disclosure forms and much more.

We have been involved with short sales but now have the systems in place to make the process move more quickly. We can explain the various options available to homeowners facing foreclosure -- loan modification, forebearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu or foreclosure -- and the affects of each on the credit report.

Thank you for all you did to get me settled in my new home. You've been more than a real estate agent, you've been supportive, trusted friends. Thank you for everything you've done.

I've been communicating with Jerri via Internet for a year or more and, for all she knew, I could have just been a fictional character wasting her time. But, NO, she kept answering all my questions, responding to every E-mail with courtesy and patience. Well, it's all coming together now. I'll be on my way to see y'all soon! Thanks, Jerri (and Paul, too!). Susan Lemerande

I wanted to tell you how delighted we are with our new house. It was a joy working with you -- wish that the rest of my life ran that smoothly. Thank You!! Mary Osterbrock

I'm a little prejudiced when it comes to Jerri and Paul. They were my realtors first, and it wasn't long before they became good friends, as well. Jerri was my primary realtor, but Paul was able to help me when Jerri wasn't available. They support each other and make a great team. I had another realtor in mind to work with when I called Jerri one evening two years ago and asked her to show me a home which was listed on their "MovingtoAthens" website. After I met and talked with her that evening, though, I quickly changed my mind and told her I'd like for her to be my realtor. I seldom make important decisions such as this so quickly, but Jerri has a calm, kind, intelligent presence, and I immediately liked and trusted her. My instinct was right. In these past two years, Jerri and Paul have helped me sell two houses and buy another. The best thing of all, though, is that I have gained two wonderful friends who also happen to be the best realtors I know. Lynn Farrell, Athens, Georgia

Thank you so very much, I will gladly refer you to anyone looking to buy or sell in Athens. Without the ability to be there during the whole process, you really went above and beyond. Many Thanks, D.
