About Katie Throne

Katie Throne is Broker/Owner of Finch House Properties, a locally-owned, boutique brokerage specializing in residential sales, investments and property management. She has 19 years of experience working with buyers and sellers in the Athens, GA, area. She loves getting to know clients and working with them to find the best fit for them in Athens and its surrounding areas. She brings a vast knowledge of Athens and what makes its neighborhoods unique. Katie graduated from UGA in 1998 and has a background in journalism and marketing but returned in 2002 after living in other cities and deciding that she couldn't shake Athens.

"I love everything about Athens – the music scene, great restaurants and the local characters. It has a very unique and wonderful small-town feel but with a lot of culture that you sometimes only find in big cities. We have that here in Athens but with none of the headaches that come with living in a large city. That's why I am so passionate about protecting this great little place and seeing its neighborhoods flourish."

In addition to nearly two decades of traditional residential sales and marketing experience, Katie is also a Property Manager and currently manages more than 75 in-town rental properties. She has assisted many investors with purchasing rental properties and manages their investments for them. IG: @finchhouseproperties

I have local partners I highly recommend to offer additional services to our clients who are preparing to list their home for sale or buyers who want help once they've made their purchase:

Melanie started her floral business six years ago and is a wonderful source not only for flower arrangements, but she will come to your home and offer landscape planning or create beautiful containers to give your home curb appeal! Melanie helped me with my personal home landscaping and I get notes in my mailbox all the time asking who I used for landscaping!

Blaire Hart
Client
Katie is a wonderful property manager.  She expertly handles all aspects from identifying local market pricing to finding tenants to arranging for routine upkeep.  Katie also has extensive contacts in Athens which helps when major repairs or work is needed.  She is a one-step shop and makes owning a rental property an easy investment.  I’ve used her for years and recommend her to everyone I know with leasing investments.
Tara Stricko
Client
I’ve worked with Katie for about 15 years on a range of 5 – 12 rental properties at any one time. Prior to that I had a slew of property managers for a decade, none of whom were particularly noteworthy. Part of me is reluctant to share my honest opinions because I fear Katie will be subsequently inundated with work prospects. My morals, however, got the better of me. In a nutshell, and from my experience, Katie is simply the best property manager there is. I have complete (100%) confidence in her ability to make decisions that are in my best interest. She is responsive, reliable, and trustworthy; she offers respectful judgments and recommendations that reflect an extensive experience of working in the industry. Above all, she is kind and friendly. I cannot fault her in any way.
Michael Tarrant
Client
Katie has been an excellent real estate professional, making my move into a new rental home smooth and stress-free. She guided me through the lease process, explaining the details, and provided helpful advice on setting up my utilities when I had questions about electrical and gas providers. She is always responsive to inquiries, and when I had any maintenance issues with the house, she has promptly arranged for them to be resolved. Her professionalism, efficiency, and dedication make her easy to work with, and I highly recommend her!
Colleen Cherry
Tenant
We have worked with Katie Throne as our leasing agent for our rental property since 2011. Katie has leased our property repeatedly every year as students move in and out. She responds immediately to any questions I might have  and addresses any issues our renters might have. Katie has many professional resources to address repairs as they are needed in the rental property.  She has also assisted in replacing lighting fixtures and appliances. We would highly recommend Katie for real estate or real estate management positions.
Melinda Duncan
Client
Katie is a responsive and helpful property manager, a big reason why we have continued renting in the same house for many years. She is considerate of our space and gives us transparent information. The few times we've spoken to plumbers or other maintenance people around town, they all know her by name, which always feels reassuring
