Gena Knox

Since Gena Knox was a child she has had a passion for all things involving turning a house into a home from cooking and decorating to design. After graduating from the University of Georgia's School of Environmental Design in 2000, she took her first job at Sea Island Resorts as a Landscape Architect.  It was there that Gena fell in love with beautiful homes surrounded by picture perfect scenery.

As a self starter and hard worker, Gena co-founded a grilling products company, Fire & Flavor, with her husband in 2004. The company quickly grew to sell products in over 10,000 stores nationwide. In 2008 she was named as one of Georgia's 40 under 40 by Georgia Trend Magazine and in 2009 graduated from Leadership Georgia, a leadership training program whose purpose is to prepare strong and effective leaders for the future development of the State of Georgia.

Gena has lived in Athens with her husband and four children for the past 17 years. Her love of beautiful homes and design paired with her background in marketing has lead Gena to the most fulfilling career in real estate. Whether it is helping her clients envision each home's potential or assisting them in getting their home market ready, Gena has found her true passion. 

As a resident of Five Points, she is an active member of Athens United Methodist Church and serves on the Board of Advisors for the Georgia State Botanical Gardens in Athens. Gena enjoys cooking and entertaining for friends and clients, running, quail hunting and riding horses at their family farm in South Georgia.
