About

Chuma Hicks-Reese

Realtor & Business Broker · ABR® · PSA®

Chuma Hicks-Reese, CEO of The 80ChumaSpirit Real Estate Group, is a Georgia-based real estate agent who brings clients a rare combination of expertise — representing residential and commercial buyers and sellers, advising business owners through acquisitions and exits, and partnering on custom home builds from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

Known as The Real Estate Dreambuilder, Chuma draws on 30 years of experience across legal administration, sales, and technology, a background that bridges naturally into luxury real estate. He combines legal precision, corporate discipline, and creative design to deliver a refined, results-driven experience for buyers, sellers, and investors alike.

He represents residential and commercial clients across Metro Atlanta and the greater Georgia market as a Realtor with Keller Williams West Atlanta, serves as Associate Vice President Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors guiding owners through the sale or purchase of a business, and works as a Custom Home Concierge & Builder Matchmaker, giving clients access to trusted bespoke custom-home builders from lot selection through the final walkthrough.

His path to real estate includes years as a Legal Support Administrator in major law firms and as a Senior Advisor for Apple vendors, experience that sharpened his communication, problem-solving, and contract mastery — skills he brings to every transaction, turning each real estate journey into an intentional, artfully executed reflection of lifestyle and legacy. As a Certified Pricing Strategy Advisor through the National Association of REALTORS®, he leverages data-driven insights to guide accurate pricing, strong negotiations, and smart investment decisions; his complementary Accredited Buyer's Representative credential through the Atlanta REALTORS® Association sharpens that same data-driven approach specifically on behalf of buyers, so their interests are represented with precision from search through closing.

Chuma has also formed a strategic real estate partnership with agent and investor Dexter Phillip, combining complementary strengths to deliver a highly coordinated, elevated client experience. Together, they blend relationship-driven service, investment insight, market knowledge, sophisticated systems, and responsive execution to help clients move with greater clarity and confidence. Two professionals. Complementary strengths. One seamless real estate experience.

Whatever stage of ownership you're in — buying a home, selling a business, or building one from the ground up — Chuma brings the same approach: local market knowledge, straightforward communication, and a network of trusted partners to get the deal done right. Make your dream a reality by contacting him today.

Client Stories

What Clients Are Saying

“I can't say enough about how great Chuma was to work with. He took the time to listen to our desires for our home search from aesthetics to budget to location. Chuma did not hesitate to go to bat on our behalf when things went left in the home search. He stayed in constant communication and was always available to answer any questions that we had. He is passionate about what he does and dedicated to helping his clients secure the home of their dreams. If you are in the market for a home or are looking to sell your current home, I highly recommend Chuma. You won't be disappointed.”

Mailia Stokes

Buyer Client

“Working with Chuma has been one of the best experiences I've had during a very difficult time. From the very beginning, he used his knowledge, experience, and professional network to help me successfully sell my home. What stood out most was his exceptional communication — he was always responsive, patient, understanding, and took the time to answer every question I had. There were moments when I felt uncertain and overwhelmed, but Chuma never pressured me. Instead, he listened, understood where I was coming from, and helped me see the brighter side of my situation. His guidance gave me the confidence to make what I truly believe was the best decision. What started as a business relationship became much more — I genuinely consider Chuma a friend. He is a man of integrity who always strives to do the right thing, even when it doesn't necessarily benefit him financially, and that kind of character is rare and deserves to be recognized. If you're looking for someone who is professional, honest, compassionate, and truly puts his clients first, I cannot recommend Chuma highly enough. I am sincerely grateful for everything he has done for me.”

Vince Tucker

His professionalism, market knowledge, and prompt communication were exceptional. He was quick in his responses, always available to address questions, and worked tirelessly to bridge the gaps between buyer and seller. His attention to detail and proactive approach ensured every step of the closing process was handled smoothly and efficiently. I truly appreciate his dedication and highly recommend Chuma to anyone navigating the real estate market!”
