Alissa Carrier is a REALTOR® with 11 years of experience and deep Athens roots, having called the area home since 1996. With a background in creative writing and early career chapters in publishing and salon ownership, she brings a rare blend of strategy, intuition, and storytelling to her real estate practice.

Alissa is known for marketing homes with a strong sense of place—crafting listing descriptions that help buyers connect with a property’s feel, not just its features. She specializes in character properties and the in-town neighborhoods Athens is known for—Boulevard, Normaltown, Cobbham, Five Points—as well as sought-after Oconee County homes.

Over the past decade, Alissa has guided more than 150 families through buying and selling in the Athens area. Her style is calm, steady, and client-centered, with an emphasis on clarity, strong pricing strategy, and thoughtful communication. Whether someone is relocating, downsizing, buying their first home, or navigating a major life transition, she offers grounded expertise and genuinely personalized support.

Outside of real estate, Alissa enjoys good food, the arts, supporting local businesses, and writing. She also loves spending time with her wife, Lyric, their teenager, two doodles, and whatever sourdough project she has rising on the counter.
