Real Estate Agents. They can be fiercely competitive, even within individual agencies. But it really doesn’t have to be that way. What if the individual agent that you hired was backed up by an entire team, all collaborating for you – instead of competing with each other? Wouldn’t that give you more confidence in their performance? And what if that same agent was also friendly, honest, effective and real? That’s the 3tree Realty philosophy, in a nutshell.
We're more than just your agents - we're your neighbors and trusted advisors. We can't wait to help you write your next chapter!
Experience a fresh perspective in real estate – welcome to our team.
3tree sprouted in 2010 when Ceci Churchwell realized, after 5 years in real estate, that her career really wasn’t benefitting from working within the confines of a traditional agency setting. So she went home, and she planted the seed for a new firm that has since grown and blossomed into one of the most unique, respected and successful real estate agencies in the greater Athens, Georgia area.
In those early days, Ceci recognized that what many home buyers, renters, and sellers alike crave most of all is a more human experience. Many of them are making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives, and they just want to feel at ease throughout the process. They wish to work with someone approachable, someone honest, someone real. As Ceci continued to cultivate this ideology, her favorable reputation in the market grew.
By 2013 Ceci was confident in her methods and was finding real success in her approach. But she was also feeling a bit lonely. So she brought on a second agent, then another and another, and the firm grew steadily, eventually consisting of more than ten agents.
Under Ceci’s wisdom and guidance, 3tree Realty has organically spawned a culture deeply rooted in collaboration. Our veteran agents naturally take on a mentoring role when new agents come on board. The results are a strong and well-rounded team that assists and supports one another, and has a whole lot of fun together in the process. We just know that our client-centered collaborative approach ultimately yields agents that are more trusted and more effective.
We don’t shy away from our reputation of being a little bit quirky and a lot of fun. But despite our more comfortable and casual image and approach, we take our work very seriously. We pride ourselves on being fully engaged and prepared when it matters most. We adapt to the changes that come our way. We fight to get the very best deal for our clients, and we do not sacrifice our integrity in the process.
Our agents are all goal-driven, in their own unique ways. But we aren’t focused on touting or attaining awards and recognition. Instead, we just focus on our work, and clients keep coming back and keep sending their friends and family our way. For us, those are the best kinds of rewards.
Our city. The surrounding area. This region. It’s our world. Some of us were born and raised here in the Athens area, while others found our way here and made it our home. But we all agree that this community is unique and special, and we love being a part of it. To do our share, we pledge to give a portion of our profits in support of several area nonprofit organizations. That’s just a small way that we can give back to this community that’s given us so much in return.
We’ve established a network of honest, hardworking craftsmen and service providers in the area who cover a range of property maintenance and enhancement needs. And we’re in tune with the best area resources whenever our clients ask for suggestions. Our hope is that when one of our clients inevitably need a referral for anything, they won’t hesitate to reach out. If we can be thought of down the road as a trusted resource for our clients, we believe we’ve done our job.
