Real estate, with a builder's eye.
A licensed agent who reads inspection reports the way a contractor reads them — because he is one.
Brent is the agent. Drake
Realty is the broker.
Brent Davis is a Georgia Real Estate Agent in partnership with Drake Realty. Drake Realty is the brokerage; Brent is the agent of record on showings, negotiating, and closings. Jordan is a licensed Georgia Real Estate Agent and runs transaction management. The paperwork, scheduling, and follow-through that decide whether a deal closes cleanly.
Buyer or seller representation. Stand-alone, or paired with a Chart South build.
Brent and Jordan bring expertise most agents can’t match. Jordan is an Athens native with deep knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, and the local community. Brent adds construction know-how, helping clients read inspection reports, evaluate lots, and navigate zoning. Together, they cover ground most agents can’t
A second pair of eyes on the things
that matter.
An inspection read by a builder.
Most agents flag the inspection report and ask the seller for credits. We read it the way a GC reads it — what’s a real structural issue, what’s cosmetic, and what the actual repair cost looks like. That changes the negotiation.
Pricing tied to what your home actually is.
Athens-native local knowledge plus construction expertise. We look at comps the way a buyer’s GC would — what’s repairable, what’s a value-add, and where you’re under-priced because the agent doesn’t know what the bones are worth.
Looking for a lot to build on?
Lot acquisition is flexible. Run it as a standalone real estate engagement, or fold it into a Chart South build — either way, you get one team from the lot you bid on to the home you move into. Tell us the area you’re looking in and the kind of home you want; we’ll let you know what’s feasible on the listings worth touring.
Before you make an offer on a lot, it helps to know what to look for. Here is a landscape architect’s checklist for evaluating land before you buy.
Common questions.
Do you represent buyers, sellers, or both?
Both. Brent represents buyers and sellers across the Athens area, Oconee, Clarke, Jackson and surrounding counties through Drake Realty.
Do I have to build with Chart South to use Brent as my agent?
No. Real estate is a standalone service. Many clients work with us on real estate only, with no construction relationship. Brent also represents clients who are buying a lot to build on, with or without Chart South handling the build itself.
How does the brokerage relationship work?
Drake Realty is the broker. Brent operates as a Georgia Real Estate Agent under Drake Realty’s license. All listings, contracts, and closings are processed through Drake Realty.
What areas do you cover?
Primary service area is the Athens area, Oconee, Clarke, Jackson and surrounding counties. We can travel for the right project.
Can Brent help me find a tear-down or major renovation candidate?
Yes. This is one of the most useful overlaps between the real estate and build sides — a candidate’s true value is what it’ll cost to make right, and we can give you a real number before you offer.
