Experience You Can Count On
Pathfinder Realty is a woman-owned, full-service real estate brokerage specializing in REO, bank-owned, investor-owned, and distressed properties throughout Metro Atlanta and beyond.
With nearly 2,300 closed transactions, including nearly 2,000 REO properties, our team understands the challenges that come with managing and selling corporate-owned real estate.
We understand that time is of the essence, communication matters, and every asset deserves attention from the initial occupancy check through closing.
Our philosophy is simple: treat others the way we want to be treated. We treat properties like homes and occupants like neighbors. No amount of money is worth losing sleep at night over.

We Market REO Properties Like Retail Listings
A bank-owned property should not receive second-class marketing simply because it is an REO. Our goal is to give each asset the exposure and presentation it deserves while keeping the client’s objectives and market conditions in mind.
Our Marketing Approach
Property Presentation
Professional photography, 3D 360-degree virtual tours, interactive floor plans, property websites, and virtual walkthroughs help buyers better understand each property.
We also use QR-coded sign riders to connect buyers directly to property information and tours.
Market-Driven Strategy
Our marketing plans are based on current comparable sales, active competition, property condition, buyer expectations, and local market trends.
We evaluate whether selling as-is or completing repairs provides the best outcome for the asset.
