Gena Knox | Top-Producing Real Estate Agent in Athens, Georgia

 

Gena Knox is a top-producing real estate agent in Athens, Georgia, widely recognized for representing buyers and sellers of distinctive homes across Five Points, in-town Athens, the Westside, Oconee County, and Jackson County. As a leading single agent and co-founder of Dwell Real Estate, Gena is known for her strategic approach, deep local insight, and consistent sales performance in the Athens real estate market.

From a young age, Gena has been drawn to the art of turning a house into a home—through design, thoughtful details, and hospitality. After earning her degree from the University of Georgia’s School of Environmental Design in 2000, she began her career as a landscape architect at Sea Island Resorts. There, she developed a lasting appreciation for beautifully designed homes set within exceptional surroundings, a perspective that continues to inform her real estate work today.

An entrepreneur at heart, Gena co-founded the nationally distributed grilling products brand Fire & Flavor in 2004. Under her leadership, the company grew to be carried in more than 10,000 retail locations nationwide. This experience building and marketing a consumer brand shaped Gena’s ability to position homes effectively, negotiate strategically, and guide clients through complex, high-stakes decisions.

Gena’s leadership and professional achievements have been widely recognized. She was named one of Georgia Trend Magazine’s 40 Under 40 and is a graduate of Leadership Georgia, a selective statewide program focused on developing leaders who help shape Georgia’s future.

Today, Gena is especially sought after by sellers who value thoughtful pricing, elevated presentation, and creative marketing, as well as by buyers relocating to Athens who want a trusted local advisor with deep market knowledge. Known for her hands-on, client-focused approach, she works closely with each client to ensure real estate decisions align with both lifestyle and long-term goals.

Gena has lived in Athens for nearly two decades with her husband and four children. Her love of design, commitment to her community, and innovative mindset have fueled a successful, award-winning real estate career and established her as a trusted authority in the Athens, Georgia real estate market.
