Ashley W. Merritt
Born and raised in the Albany area, I'm a proud wife, mother of three, and grandmother to one precious grandson. Southwest Georgia isn't just where I work — it's where I've built my life, raised my family, and put down roots that run deep.
My love for real estate began in property management, where I discovered the genuine joy of helping people find the perfect place to call home. There was nothing more rewarding than matching a family with a space that truly fit their life.
After starting a family, my husband and I built a small maintenance business together — painting and performing upkeep on rentals and new construction homes while I ensured every property was spotless and move-in ready for its new tenant or owner. That hands-on experience gave me a deep appreciation for what makes a house truly feel like a home.
That love only continued to grow, and we took the next step — earning our real estate license. Today, I bring all of that experience, community knowledge, and genuine care to every buyer and seller I work with. When you work with me, you're not just getting an agent — you're getting a neighbor who truly cares about where you land.
What I Stand For
Born and raised here — I know every neighborhood, school district, and hidden gem in Southwest Georgia.
Every client is a neighbor. I take the time to truly understand what you need and what matters most to your family.
From property management to maintenance to sales — I understand homes from the inside out.
My family has called this community home for generations. I'm invested in seeing Southwest Georgia thrive.
Community First
Southwest Georgia is more than a market to me — it's the place where I grew up, where I'm raising my family, and where I want to see every neighbor find a place they truly love.
From the charming in-town streets of Albany and Leesburg to the quiet countryside roads that wind through Lee County, I know these communities personally. That local insight means I can help you find not just a house, but the right neighborhood for your life.
Whether you're relocating to the area or have lived here your whole life, I'm here to make sure your real estate experience feels personal, honest, and genuinely helpful — every step of the way.
