Resources, Guides, Ebooks and Video ContentThis site is a single home base for four connected real estate practices — residential, commercial, custom-home concierge and business brokerage — built so you can explore, learn and run your own numbers before you ever pick up the phone. Here's what you'll find, and how to use it.
Buyers and sellers, new and experienced investors, people relocating to Metro Atlanta, custom-home clients working with builders, and business owners buying or selling a company.
Four practice areas — Residential, Commercial, Custom Home Concierge & Builder Matchmaking, and Business Brokerage — plus dedicated tool pages for buyers, sellers and investors, current listings, service-area details and client stories.
So every conversation starts from real numbers instead of guesswork — whether that's an affordability estimate, a closing-cost figure or a first look at a builder match.
Run the interactive calculators with your own figures, download the guides and ebooks, watch the video content in the Resources hub, then reach out when you're ready to talk specifics.
Anytime — early research, mid-search, or right before you commit to a number. Nothing here is locked behind a consultation; it's available whenever you need it.

“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.”
“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.”

Recently, I listed my house for sale but needed to cancel my listing for personal reasons. Although I signed an exclusive seller brokerage agreement, I felt my agent was not working on my behalf because she was insistent that I sell it. When I shared with my agent that I would be homeless because my original plans fell through, she showed no interest in following through with my wishes. The buyers and the buyer's agent threatened to sue me continuously, and my agent appeared to be colluding on their behalf by pressuring me to sell. I felt alone as if I had no dog in this fight, and I could not rely on my agent for a possible solution. I reached out to Chuma for help, and he called around to find me any real estate attorneys and litigators who could help me. He also shared information from the Atlanta Realtors Association in connection with the code of ethics practices, which was helpful. That's when I discovered the meaning of breach of fiduciary duty. Without becoming involved in the matter, he showed compassion, support, and consistent care of positive reinforcement. He reviewed letters and emails I wrote before I sent them and helped me understand what being someone's fiduciary and representative is supposed to be about. When I would ask him what he would say in certain situations, he always provided a response that made me realize if he were my real estate agent, he would have fought for me and did his best to work on my behalf for a solution. He always remained professional and never put down my agent. Instead, he only provided what he would have done if he were representing me, and throughout remained an emotional source of support and guidance, and always shared resources and connections that could legally help me. In the end, with the advice of an attorney and Chuma's unwavering support, I was able to keep my house without being sued—nor did I suffer any damages. Chuma was not my fiduciary, yet he always made himself available for me. I know time is money, but it didn't matter to him. He always took my calls when I felt lost, alone, scared, and hopeless. Had it not been for his support, I would not have been victorious in this matter. All along, I wished he was my realtor. That said, I highly recommend him. He is not just a real estate agent; he is a friend who would have your back—regardless. Some people are all about the dollar. Chuma is all about love standing firm on his business. —M. Ham
This is my second home purchase and I was grateful to have Chuma. He made sure to stay ahead of everything and fought through thick and thin to make sure I was happy. He treated me as if I were his family (brother).
Mr. Chuma Hicks-Reese is an Exceptional Realtor. I got the opportunity to meet him because I was looking for a home to live in. He was very optimistic and he explained step by step the process of getting a home. He has great customer service skills, he's very experienced and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him because he's an icon and a source to count on to get the job done for you. I give him 5 stars. Thanks Mr. Chuma for your hard work.
When I had my first Zoom meeting with Chuma, I knew that I had found someone good. Not only had I found a good realtor, I had found a good, honest, genuine person. My plan was to move from California to Georgia. Chuma diligently sent listings of houses he thought I would like. With houses he really thought I would like, he always went the extra mile. One day, he even went out in a bad rainstorm and shot video for me! He consistently followed up with either text message or phone calls. Even with the three hour time difference, he would stay up late to make sure I was updated and that things were flowing smoothly. He was truly a breath of fresh air.
Although my plans changed and I decided to move somewhere other than Georgia, I am so glad I met Chuma. He set the bar really high. If you are buying your first home or your last home, I highly recommend using CHUMA as your realtor. One of his mottos is “Your success is my success”. He's one of the few people on the planet who really means that.
I cannot say enough great things about Chuma! He truly went above and beyond to help me secure my new home. From the beginning, he was responsive, patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in making sure everything came together.
What meant the most to me was that Chuma didn’t treat me like just another application. He took the time to understand my situation, communicated with me throughout the process, answered my questions, and advocated for me when it mattered. There were moments when the process could have easily felt overwhelming, but he continued to reassure me, work through the details, and make sure nothing fell through the cracks.
Because of his commitment and follow-through, my family and I are now settling into a beautiful new home, and I’m incredibly grateful. Chuma wasn’t simply an agent in this process. He was someone who genuinely cared about getting us to the finish line.
If you’re looking for someone who is professional, compassionate, responsive, and truly willing to go the extra mile for you, Chuma is your person. I would recommend him over and over again. Thank you, Chuma, for helping make this new chapter possible for my family!
Working with Chuma to lease out our ATL rental was a great decision. He did everything possible to make it a smooth process for us from multiple states away. Great communication and very detail oriented. Thanks for your help Chuma!
I want to take a moment to talk about Chuma Reese. He was invaluable in the renting of our house in Atlanta. While we are currently living in another state, there was never a moment where we did not notice the care, insight, and consideration he gave to the space and needs.
As a result, we have a new tenant that we know will care for the house and community!
