About Southern Advantage Realty Team

If you are considering buying or selling real-estate, the services of a professional real estate broker / REALTOR® can help you understand the market and maximize the value of one of your most important financial investments. First becoming involved in real-estate in the 1980’s, with (10) years of full time experience in the real estate industry, Barrett Powell brings a wealth of knowledge and advice to help you identify the alternatives, guide your decision making and facilitate a successful transaction.

Unlike his competitors, Barrett has developed skills in all facets of real estate development, construction, contract management, real estate finance, leasing, sales, and real-estate technology software and consulting for both residential and commercial markets. He has worked with his family’s business that designed and built dozens of custom homes and offers home buyers a valuable “builder’s perspective” when considering the many alternatives. Additionally, his technology experience provide you with an advantage others just cannot match, whether buying or selling real-estate.

As a prior Broker / Owner of a multi-office company, Barrett has negotiated and closed some of the largest and most successful transactions in land, office buildings and single-family properties. Barrett still holds the record for the single largest commercial transaction in the area, negotiating the sale of the largest commercial building in the County in less than 30 days. Barrett then proceeded to lease the empty building, fully leasing the building in 9 months. While these issues do not occur as frequently in residential transactions, having a broker on your team who understands these issues can prove valuable in the long-run.

Hiring Barrett Powell to assist you with marketing and selling your property or finding and purchasing a property will provide you with access to valuable market data and resources that you would otherwise not have access to on your own. Additionally, you will have an experienced real estate professional available to help guide you through the transaction process.
