What Atlas Real Estate Advisors does

Atlas Real Estate Advisors is a commercial real estate brokerage and property management firm headquartered in Athens, Georgia, founded in 2007 by Chris Blackmon and Matt Thomas. The firm operates across the Southeast United States, holding broker licenses in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and North Carolina, and offers commercial sales, leasing, and third-party property management services. Since inception, Atlas has closed more than 1,000 transactions with cumulative transaction volume exceeding $500 million and currently manages more than 100 properties, indicating a recurring management book on top of the transactional brokerage business.

The firm's client base spans government tenants (EPA, GSA), healthcare operators (Athens Area Urology), franchise businesses (Zaxby's, Woodspring Suites), private investors, and family-owned portfolios, with deal sizes ranging from small-shop leases to institutional-scale transactions such as the $22.7 million Preserve portfolio sale. Revenue is generated through commissions on sales and lease transactions and recurring management fees on the managed property portfolio; the firm has also layered on fee-based consulting supported by GIS mapping capabilities. The go-to-market is relationship-driven, supported by a referral network that includes partnerships with E&E Architecture, Grahl Construction, and Classic City Bank, and a sales force of approximately six professionals backed by CCIM and MRICS credentials.
