ZillowVERIFIEDDean is impeccably polite, immensely ethical, and highly knowledgeable. He responded to absolutely every text, call, or email in a very timely fashion. He is directive and gives excellent advice when you need him to; but he also backs off to give you plenty of "space" for independent decision-making, without any kind of pressure at all. A joy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean is an honest real estate agent who helped us get our house inspected and ready for sale. We were able to sell our house for the asking price with little hassle following Deans advice. I often recommend Dean to anyone buying or selling a house in the area.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean Bright is an excellent real estate professional. He is very knowledgeable about the local real estate market and is well respected by lending institutions, other real estate professionals, and all who you are likely to come into contact with when buying or selling a home. Dean stays ahead of the process, advising clients regarding what to expect moving through the process and he does so in a timely way, responding immediately when needs arise or things change. His direct communication is always on target and his advice solid. I would not hesitate to recommend Dean to anyone anticipating buying or selling a home--he's a consummate professional.

Review for Member: Dean Bright
ZillowVERIFIEDIf you need a realtor in the Athens area, it's gotta be Dean, full stop. My wife and I bought a modest house that Dean was representing for the sellers. He executed everything we asked for in good faith, even though he didn't personally stand to gain much from his work. He treated the sale how a lesser realtor would reserve only for very valuable houses. We knew at that point he would be our guy as long as we lived in the area. Five years later, we decided to move to another state, and when it was time to sell, there was only one call that needed to be made: Dean Bright. In the five years that we owned the house, the home values in our neighborhood had changed dramatically, and Dean explained perfectly exactly what that meant for us. He orchestrated getting our house ready with a little help from me, and as time was of the essence, he double timed getting to market, priced perfectly, and we had an offer that we accepted within 24 hours of listing. We were able to sell and move with alacrity, and it is all thanks to Dean Bright. He's a good man who simply wants to do right by everyone he works for. Look no further.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I are thankful to have had Dean help us find our home. Very personable, easy to talk to and had no problem speaking his mind in offering honest answers to our questions. His patience in working with us (8 months!) was awesome. He gave us excellent advice with the structure, landscape, and local development for every home we looked at. He knows how a home should be built and identified flaws and potential weaknesses. I was impressed by how much he knows about planned future development surrounding most of the homes we looked at. Thanks, Dean! - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

ZillowVERIFIEDDean helped us sell and buy our homes, and was excellent from beginning to end. His knowledge, detail and expertise shined through the entire process. He made it as less stressful as possible, and we're so happy we chose him as our realtor! We would recommend him to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean did a great job from start to finish with the sale of our home. His advice about market value was accurate. He assisted us by preparing a punch list of items that needed attention before listing and was attentive throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dean to assist you in your next real estate transaction.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur house was under contract within a month!!!Dean is personable, kind, honest and professional. He is the ultimate team player/leader. We were fortunate to have had him representing us.I've bought and sold a number of homes over the years and can honestly report that the process of selling my home and closing the deal with Dean was seamless, timely, and easy (yes it's true).Dean made realistic suggestions for improvements, contacted his own professionals when prospective buyers wanted estimates, was immediately responsive to any and all questions. He was gracious when we neglected to contact him when we inadvertently updated an electrical panel after the buyers inspection. He was thoughtful when answering our questions, patient with our difficulty leaving our much-loved home, and understanding and compassionate of our unique circumstances (two family members who were both critically ill at the same time that we were selling our home).The closing was efficient, accurate and timely. Our final transfer of things such as keys, garage door openers etc. was handled by Dean as we had already moved from the area and did not attend the closing.If we move again, I will consider it a miracle to find a realtor who can match the service that we had from Dean Bright!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a home that we needed to sell. We called Dean because of his high ratings which at the time seemed a little hard to believe. After meeting him and seeing him in action, we completely understand. Throughout the process Dean was professional, extremely helpful and got the job done. Not only did he sell our home and fast but gave us some great tips and ideas for our new home that we had already purchased. Dean became our agent but also our friend. We couldn't have been more pleased. If you need assistance selling your home, don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Dean is the real deal!

ZillowVERIFIEDDean was highly recommended and proved to be all that was expected. Most impressive was how quickly Dean responded to all of my questions and needs. He moved the process along very quickly, working well with the seller's agent as different issues came up. Also, Dean did a great job of not only recommending various tasks we might consider completing, but also giving me the names and contact info for the contractors - and all of the recommendations were excellent. Through the entire venture Dean made the right calls! It is great to have such a highly respected and trusted agent in the Athens area.

Review for Member: Dean Bright
ZillowVERIFIEDDean Bright showed us houses in the Athens area for a full year before we finally found the right place for us. He was extremely patient and helpful through the entire process and never pressured us into a decision. In fact, he always kept our interests and needs in mind and was very helpful in pointing out potential concerns. As first-time home buyers with kids, we really appreciated his practical and straightforward advice on construction, repairs, drainage issues, school districts, etc. Dean was always willing to meet with us, was consistently good about being on time, and was always professional and friendly. He even helped us keep track of our kids when we brought them along! When we finally went under contract, we were especially impressed by how considerate Dean also was of the sellers situation and wishes. Incredibly, he went so far as to waive his commission fee despite the large amount of time he had invested in us over the past year. This was due to special circumstances on the sellers side and he simply said he was happy he could help the seller in this way. Even after we purchased our house, Dean continued helping us get in touch with reputable businesses, etc. and we were happy with all of his suggestions. Dean is truly a realtor you can trust and we recommend him without hesitation. You will not be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter helping us sell our home in just three weeks, Dean helped us to quickly find a new home! Although we were in a bit of a pinch, due to Dean selling our home so fast, Dean never pressured us to put an offer on a house. He was always relaxed and ALWAYS had our best interest in mind. He never tried to "sell" a house but would rather help us to make non-emotional decisions based on the full picture (location, quality of construction, neighborhood, cost, etc, etc). I've never met a "salesman" that was so relaxed, forthcoming and patient. When we did decide to put an offer on a new build, he walked us through the entire process with great knowledge. When we got fearful and had doubts, he never pressured us but was truly concerned that we make the right decision for us. He was always more concerned for our well-being than closing a deal. If moving wasn't such a pain, I would have Dean help me sell and buy a home every year! ;)

Review for Member: Dean Bright
ZillowVERIFIEDOn and off for several years before listing our home, my husband would contact Dean with questions about the local market. Dean knew we weren't ready to list our house, but he always provided quick and helpful feedback while never pushing us to list. He always seemed to have our best interest in mind. When we did list our home in the Spring of 2015, Dean had it sold in three weeks! We weren't desperate to sale and weren't willing to accept anything but a solid offer. We were pleasantly surprised when we got a great offer after just a few weeks of showing our home. Dean also helped us purchase a new build after selling our home, but I'll write about that in another 5 Star review.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time homebuyers, Dean was the perfect agent. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable at every step of the buying process, and he took great care to educate us on all the little nuances of real estate that we could never have learned on our own. We always felt that Dean had our best interests at heart, and this was reinforced constantly throughout the entire process.As an example, we had a property that we were ready to make an offer on. We looked at the house on a Friday afternoon and emailed Dean in the early evening telling him that we wanted to make an offer. By early Saturday morning, he had a full report and negotiating strategy, and he had found out from the seller's agent about some serious water damage that the seller was apparently unwilling to fix. We were willing to deal with this for the right price, but there was another buyer coming in with a higher offer. Even though it would've gotten him a higher commission (and weeks sooner), Dean advised us against increasing our offer because the likely cost to repair the cause of the water damage plus the purchase price would've meant that we were paying more than the home was worth (and thus we would be unlikely to recoup the total cost).We took his advice, and we are very glad we did! Even though it took a few more weeks, we ended up finding a home we loved even more. Dean is the consummate real estate professional, and he would be the first person I would recommend for anyone looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean 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.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I are still working with Dean Bright. He is very knowledgeable of the real-estate market in Athens and the surrounding areas. He has been quick to respond to all of our questions. He is thorough in his research and provides detailed feedback to us. Since we are not knowledgeable of the Athens area and its real estate market Dean Bright has been a valuable asset to us in our continued search for that home that will fit our needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have been in the banking industry for over 30 years. During this time I have worked with many real estate agents. I wish every agent that I have worked with over these years would have been as professional, knowledgeable, responsive , honest and upfront as Dean has been. There were 3 houses in our top five that Dean steered us away from because of location or area. In other words, he was not just trying to sell us a house. He would have made more money had we bought one of the 3. He wanted us to be happy for the long haul. I have really enjoyed working with him and he made the buying experience much nicer. We were out of town buyers and in the middle of vacation when all this happened. He was awesome. The house closed over a week ago and he is still helping us.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean filled in for our realtor during a walk through while our realtor was on vacation. The walk through was a couple weeks before closing and we were making a punch list for the builder. As we were pointing out places that needed to be touched up with paint, Dean decided that it was his place to tell the builder that these requests were unnecessary. He said that we were already getting a good deal on the house. The builder had no problems with our requests, but Dean obviously did. After this meeting, I sent a message to our realtor requesting that Dean not accompany us for he final walk through. We actually did the walk through with the builders realtor who was much more helpful than Dean.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean Bright was the 1st to call back, (same day), after leaving a message with several agents. He came out & viewed my house, that I wanted to sell. He said it probably wouldn't sell for what it's worth, right now; & suggested I could possibly get more rent for it, than I currently was. I am now receiving $300. more a month for it... $1000. I will call on him again, when I need an agent in the future. :)P.S. I could not submit this review, without selecting a service below. The closest I could choose was, "None. We connected, but it didn't work out". > However, it 'worked out, (quite well), for me'!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were first time home buyers, with a scary and intimidating process ahead of us. Dean eased us with his wealth of knowledge and confidence. As first timers we were worried mostly about the money aspect and the numbers that we were up against, but Dean was up front with us from the beginning and walked us through the process step by step. Within a week Dean had helped us find an amazing home! After the search was over Dean continued to impress us with his proficient knowledge of the negotiating process. He was so easy to get in touch with was diligent with getting back to us with every piece of information that we needed to proceed. We would recommend Dean to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom the moment we met Dean, he put us at ease. He first made us aware of how we might improve upon our house to make it show ready. He was professional in all aspects of marketing our house and we began to immediately get showings. Dean has a thorough knowledge of the whole process of selling and buying a house. Dean made every attempt to make himself available in showing us products as well as communicating with different agents who showed our house. He responded immediately to all our concerns and handled all issues quickly to our satisfaction. Dean was always honest about the buying market and houses that may not be in our best interest. He respected our budget and did not push houses that were not within our means. Dean has numerous contacts and was always able to recommend honest businesses with skilled professionals to assist with home repair. We put our complete trust and reliance on him to sell our home as well as buy a new one. He exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean is very professional when it comes to listing and showing the house. His insightful suggestions are of great value to home owners. He is also willing to go extra miles to make sure the house is in good shape after some severe weather. This is really great when the owners are not in town. When it comes to deliver an offer, he will work with the other agent and the buyers to make the offering price presentable to sellers, which would cut a lot of hassles and make the negotiation process less stressful.

ZillowVERIFIEDIt doesnt surprise me that Dean is rated with 5 out of 5 stars. After working with him to sell our home, it was apparent that choosing him was the best decision that we could have ever made. His educated and passionate approach to selling real estate left my wife and I feeling remarkably informed and cared for. Not to be boastful, but we sold our house in a month and a half! While most people will often associate a fast purchase to luck and/or good timing, we honestly know that the only lucky part was getting to know Dean. I encourage you to call him if youre looking to sell your house. You will not regret it!

ZillowVERIFIEDDean listed our home and he sold in two months. We had already moved out of town and Dean checked on our house which immensely eased our minds. When he and other realtors showed it he reported back to us on details. He was not only a great, honest realtor, but a friend to us throughout our experience. We still talk to him today even though we have left Athens. We wish we had hired Dean when we listed the home initially!! Dean is awesome!! Caroline

ZillowVERIFIEDMr. Bright really knows the market and knows what's needed to sell a house. He is conscientious, responsive, trustworthy, and highly professional. In today's slumped economy, he sold my house quickly. There are other houses in my area that have been on the market over one year, so I was pleasantly surprised when my house sold after just 3 months. I highly recommend that you have Mr. Bright represent you whether you are buying or selling.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean is a fantastic agent. He made excellent recommendations on how to get the house "sell-ready" that undoubtedly helped us sell within 90 days of listing. He made sure we were prepared and ready from the time we went to market, through negotiations, and through closing. I would highly recommend Dean to take care of your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDDuring a "down-time" in the market, Dean worked tirelessly and meticulously to sell our house... leaving no stone unturned. When we could not find a buyer, Dean was able to help us through the rental process. He was always looking out for what was best for us. When it came time to sell again, Dean did not just put our house on the market, but helped us come up with a great strategy for unveiling it at just the right time, at just the right price, with just the right added touches to the house. It paid off, and we were under contract in 10 days with an offer almost at asking price! You will find that Dean knows his stuff, he is nice to work with, and he also knows how deal with those in the real estate business. He will make sure that you don't get taken advantage of. By far... the best realtor in the Athens area!

ZillowVERIFIEDDean came recommended to us by our local Realtor in Lake Tahoe, CA. When we contacted him we also interviewed several other real estate dealers in town. We decided on Dean because of his knowledge of the local area. He is a homey who attended UGA and knows the area very well. Because we were out of towners we needed the help of a local with expertise and knowledge of the local area. Dean was warm, bright and very knowledgeable about local areas and practices. Dean showed us homes (as our buying rep) for many months. He walked and talked us through the purchase of the new home. Dean has lots of knowledge and experience regarding local trades people. My experience with Dean has been 100% satisfactory. I would recommend him without reservation. Meet him and talk with him yourself and you will see..

ZillowVERIFIEDDean deserves all the 5 star reviews! I contacted him based upon on line reviews, and Dean lived up to to them.Knowledgeable and responsive without being pushy. As a single person only somewhat familiar with Athens area, I appreciated his input given without judgement. I like older homes with character so I wasn't put off by having to update things, but Dean could put time, money, and uncertainty of renovations for a particular home in perspective.This is my 7th transaction of buying/selling. In buying 4 houses, I've dealt with agents more intent on closing their deal rather than making sure I get in the house and neighborhood right for me. Dean intuited the type of house and community I needed and steered me in the right direction. Dean ranks at the top of my list for a smooth, easy real estate transaction. Moreover, the closing agent Dean recommended kept me informed, got everything done on time with no surprises. I am moved in and happy in my new home! The smoothest real estate transaction I have had.

ZillowVERIFIEDDean 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!

ZillowVERIFIEDOriginally living in another state, we needed to purchase a home in Athens, and did not know a sole in the area. We called Dean based on his reviews, and we were not disappointed. From our initial contact through the home purchase, and well after (with recommendations for local service providers), Dean excelled in professionalism, knowledge of the market, and a genuine desire to not only be an agent, but a friend. He made himself available to fit our tight schedule, and closely monitored the purchasing process to make the close as smooth as possible. We would recommend Dean to everyone, and will definitely use him again should the need arise.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy brother and I listed our parents' home with Dean after it had sat on the market for almost a year. Since we both live out of state, there were times when we had to call on him to go above and beyond in taking care of things we couldn't, and he never disappointed. He is professional, personable, and hard working, and within 6 months we had a contract. We then had flood zone designation issues and Dean arranged for a new site elevation survey that proved that the house was well above flood level. What I appreciated most was that he was proactive in keeping us informed. It was a comfort to know we had a realtor that we could depend on there in Athens and I would definitely recommend him.

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.

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.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of having Dean Bright help us sell our existing home and purchase our new home. Dean was right on the money in determining the best times to hold open houses, how to market the home, items that needed to be taken care of to move it quickly - and it did. Very quickly. He was on top of the sale process and made sure that the buyer's agent did everything she was supposed to do. Dean is a stickler for details and that's the kind of person you want on your side. When the apparaisal didn't come out as well as we'd hoped, he provided excellent guidance and essentially walked the sale through to completion.When it came to purchase of our new home, Dean was extremely patient and persevering, walking many land tracts with us and visiting many, many homes. His knowledge of house systems, utilities, land, environment and market conditions was extremely useful and beneficial - making him a great advisor. Dean did an excellent job helping us through the purchasing process when faced with a challenging seller - his advice both in negotiations and in contract stipulations was key to the success of the purchase. Following the closing, the seller's realtor pulled me aside and complimented me on being a really tough negotiator; I appreciated the compliment, but truth be told, we followed Dean's advice on the matter very closely - he is the one who deserved the compliment. Dean demonstrated professionalism in every way, being highly organized, reliable, prepared at each meeting, knowledgeable about each market area in which we looked, and a delight to work with. His straightforward and honest communication provided us with exactly what we needed to make the best decisions for our budget and our interests. We couldn't be happier.

ZillowVERIFIEDLast fall, an opportunity arose for us to move to the Athens area and join the University of Georgia, and we took it. However, being from Pennsylvania, we had some trepidation about finding an agent who could help us both find a suitable home and get settled into the area.We contacted Dean after reading testimonials about his service on Zillow and comparing them to those of other potential agents. We are very pleased with the result. He is a terrific buyers agent, and we were extremely happy with his knowledge and support throughout the home buying process. He helped us purchase a wonderful home in an excellent neighborhood. During the search and purchase stages, Dean was not afraid to challenge our assumptions, provide relevant market information, and offer advice. Furthermore, Dean has been a terrific post-purchase ally in helping us to get established in the Athens area. His restaurant and service recommendations have uniformly been great ones. We highly recommend Dean.

ZillowVERIFIEDUPDATE BELOW:Dean worked with me for over 2 years waiting for my house in Eatonton to sell. He never gave up on me and would periodically check in to see what my status was. When I did have to opportunity to buy in Athens he was on top of the market, knew what I liked and was able to identify and present me with the house that I bought. He also helped me get the paperwork and the process completed in under 30 days--an amazing feat.UPDATE 2016: I decided to sell my house in 2016 that Dean helped me buy in 2009. We had been in contact for those 7 years and he gave me great advice when I wanted to make major improvements to the house-especially when I redid my entire kitchen. When I decided to list the house Dean said that he had a unique way of marketing the home. We listed the house for exactly one day and invited a number of brokers to attend the open house. Dean had suggested an asking price that I thought was not possible but in less than 12 hours we had four offers over the asking price. I was floored and totally unprepared for selling my house in one day. I thought that it would take a couple of months. Because of his willingness to 'think outside the box' and approach the sale with a unique marketing technique I was on my way to my new home. Thank you so much for your help.

Dean always kept my best interest at hand and the concerns for my eleven year old son as well. My situation was even more complicated than the average client as well. I was and still am deployed with the United States Army, during the purchase of my home. Dean had to jump through even more extra hoops and red tape, for me. Even though our time difference is six hours apart, Dean every day kept in contact with me and made sure all my concerns and questions were addressed. I have heard plenty of horror stories about realtors just trying to push out home sells, without even caring about their clients overall well being. Dean was the exact opposite. Dean Bright is trust worthy, honest, and respectable. Dean helped me with the purchase of my first home, and the beginning of a major, monumental part of my life. Through thousands of miles over seas, Dean held my hand every step of the way. Dean made what could have been a stressful time and situation, an ease and a breeze! Thank God for Dean Bright!Sincerely,Regina Middlebrooks
