Scott was great to work with! He met with us once, and from the get go, we were impressed with his knowledge and the way in which he was able to answer our questions. We met him only once as we were getting ready to have our first baby and then COVID-19 happened. We asked for things to be done differently to keep our family safe and Scott was willing and able to meet our requests. He also had a baby during this process and he was still available if needed. Thanks to him, we were able to sell our house at above asking right in our time frame. We had a previous bad experience with a realtor when buying a house so having someone like Scott was refreshing. We would 100% recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Athens area. Thank you Scott!

Scott was recommended to me by a long time friend in the real estate business, and it was a pleasure to work with him. Scott was very knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful throughout the process. He went well above and beyond to provide me with information to assist me with making appropriate decisions. Scott seems to be very well-known and well-respected in the area, which also added to the ease of the process.

Scott is an excellent source for knowledge and strategy in the Athens market. He helped us maximize our return on investment by 10s of thousands of $! He knows the nuances of Athens and is very connected in the realtor community... that means great exposure! Absolutely recommended.

Scott actively marketed my property and quickly found a buyer for close to the asking price. Always quick to respond by phone, text or email. Very professional. The closing went quickly and he was able to guide me through a very confusing process since I live out of state and could not attend the closing in person. I would highly recommend him for his attention to detail and how quickly he would contact back.

Scott Talley and the whole 5Market team were instrumental in helping us find our dream house in a seller's market, and went the extra mile to offer some invaluable pro bono advice in selling our old house without an agent. They were incredibly accommodating and patient with our questions and multiple requests to get inside the house prior to close. It shows what kind of people they are and what kind of business they run. I would highly recommend the whole team, and particularly Scott, to anyone in the Athens/Oconee area. They know this place and it shows.

I have purchased a home using Scott as the realtor and I have sold a home using Scott. Bothe experiences were so smooth and in selling our house, he had a buyer within a week. I trusted him to negotiate with the buyer and we ended up getting the price we wanted. At every step of the process Scott and 5 Market Realty were very prompt to answer questions and solve any problems that arose. I will definitely be contacting Scott and 5 Market Realty if I have a need to buy a home in the Athens, GA area again.
