Jacki Macker

REALTOR®, ABR®, SRS®, RENE

Jacki Macker arrived in Athens, GA, over 20 years ago from Michigan and was quickly captivated by the Classic City’s vibrant community spirit, dynamic arts scene, and eclectic blend of local restaurants and shops. After marrying a native Athenian and starting a family, she developed a deep appreciation for historic homes and the distinct charm of Athens neighborhoods. This enthusiasm evolved into a successful real estate career, helping others discover their own sense of belonging in the Athens community. 

As an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) and Seller’s Representative Specialist (SRS®), Jacki is committed to delivering a smooth and rewarding experience for her clients. Her expertise shines in highly-sought after areas like the Historic Boulevard District, Whitehall Mill Lofts, Normaltown, and Watkinsville. Jacki’s personalized guidance and keen eye for detail make her a trusted advocate to buyers, sellers and investors. 

Through her active involvement with the Women’s Council of REALTORS® (WCR), Jacki stays ahead of industry trends and best practices while giving back to her community. WCR has equipped her with leadership training, mentorship, and opportunities to make a meaningful impact –  aligning with Jacki’s deep-rooted passion for community service. 

Jacki’s dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Named the 2020 Good Neighbor of the Year by the Athens Area Association of REALTORS®, she continues to support local businesses and nonprofits currently serving on the Athens Area Diaper Bank Board and as an Athens Chamber of Commerce Ambassador. She is fluent in American Sign Language, enabling her to connect with a broader range of clients. Her academic background includes graduating magna cum laude from Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business, further showcasing her commitment to excellence.

Outside of work, Jacki finds joy in connecting with friends over coffee, getting lost in a great book, or playing games with her two kids. She also finds peace in gardening, hiking, and nurturing her growing collection of houseplants. 

Why does Jacki call Athens home? Located just 60 miles northeast of Atlanta, Athens is the perfect mix of small-town charm and big-city opportunity offering something for everyone to enjoy and grow.
