When I entered into Real Estate, I vowed to be more than just another Realtor. Since then I've built my career by building relationships with my clients and community. My clients have left me some very heartfelt and honest reviews, and I encourage you to read them. I think you will see that I am a Realtor that maintains the highest integrity in all my relationships, business and personal.I am a continual presence in Athens Area Association of Realtors Top Rankings. In 2017 I started my own brokerage, Nabo Realty, providing my signature high-touch, individualized service under my own brand as a more than full-time Realtor while also mentoring other agents to practice the same. It's hard work maintaining the service necessary to be "more than a realtor" but I love doing it, and my clients love the results. I have been top agent for many years, earning the Circle of Excellence status for ten years of being in the top 1% of realtors in the region. I selected by the Athens Area Association of Realtors to receive the Good Neighbor Award for my efforts in the community. In years past, I have also awarded "The Best of Athens" by the Athens-Banner Herald along with being a featured favorite in Flagpole, Athens' local independent newspaper. But more than all this, my past clients refer their friends and family to me, and that vote of confidence tells my real story.I know this general market area and the micro-markets within it like no one else. Analytical and data-driven, I also see real estate as a home and an investment. There is an old saying in real estate that buyers make their money at the purchase of their home; if you buy smart then half the battle is won. When it comes time to sell, I change hats to market and negotiate like a bulldog. At every turn, I leave my ego out of the equation, providing the best outcomes for my clients. I aggressively represent my buyers and sellers with ethical and honest hustle, and I deliver the smoothest possible transaction you could ask for.Need an analysis of your current home's position in the marketplace? Wondering if it is time to buy or liquidate investment properties? Looking for your 1st or 5th home? Looking for a 1031 Exchange? Call me today and I can discuss numbers and what I do to get my listings sold and get my buyers into homes that are solid investments! Exploring the Athens area for the first time? My tours & market knowledge have become legendary among past clients, especially incoming UGA faculty and retirees, who end the tour feeling like Athens locals.Read my reviews, and then please contact me to find out how I can be "More than a Realtor…" for you.Thanks-Joe Polaneczky (a.k.a.
