Experience matters. So does how you do business.
A woman-owned Georgia brokerage built on decades of hands-on REO experience, straightforward communication, and a commitment to treating every property, client, and person with respect.
Rooted in real estate. Focused on REO.
Pathfinder Realty is led by Kelley Kesterson, Managing Broker and Owner, who serves as the primary point of contact for institutional REO clients.
Kelley began her real estate career in 2006 and developed extensive experience managing the details that make REO assignments different from traditional listings: occupancy, valuations, preservation, repairs, reporting, marketing, negotiation, and closing.
After previously owning RE/MAX Results in Newnan, Kelley established Pathfinder Realty in 2019. The independent brokerage carries forward the same hands-on service and accountability while serving institutional clients throughout Metro Atlanta and West Georgia.
What guides our work
We believe no transaction is worth compromising our integrity. That means candid valuations, realistic recommendations, prompt communication, and respectful treatment of occupants and neighbors.
Our philosophy is simple: treat properties like homes, people like neighbors, and clients the way we would want to be treated.
Kelley Kesterson | Managing Broker & Owner
For institutional asset managers, experience means knowing what needs to happen next, identifying issues early, and keeping every assignment moving.
With nearly two decades of REO specialization, Kelley personally leads Pathfinder Realty’s client relationships, broker price opinions, pricing and disposition strategies, and oversight of property preparation and sales. Her experience includes nearly 2,000 REO closings across a wide range of property conditions and market cycles.
