About Bright Buys Houses

Helping Georgia Homeowners Move Forward

Hi, we’re Charissa and Dean Bright, the husband-and-wife team behind Bright Buys Houses. Our passion for helping others started over 20 years ago and continues to drive everything we do today. After years of serving families in ministry and leadership roles, we combined our skills to build a business that puts people before profits.
Charissa brings a heart for people and years of experience working closely with families. Dean holds a degree in Landscape Architecture and has a keen eye for property potential. Together, we’ve walked homeowners through every kind of situation—from foreclosure and probate to divorce, downsizing, and sudden life changes. We’re problem-solvers, and we’re committed to helping you find the best path forward, even if it means we don’t buy your house.
When we’re not helping clients, you can find us cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs (Go Dawgs!), enjoying the outdoors, or serving in our local church and community alongside our two sons.
At Bright Buys Houses, we do more than buy houses—we serve people. Whether you’re going through a difficult time or simply ready for a new chapter, we’re here to offer a dependable, no-pressure solution that puts your needs first. Based in Watkinsville, Georgia, we work with homeowners in Athens and throughout Northeast Georgia to help them sell their homes fast, with compassion, honesty, and ease.
Charissa and Dean Bright
Our mission is simple: to leave every homeowner we meet in a better situation than before we met—whether we buy their house or not. We believe that real estate is about people, not just properties. That’s why we approach every conversation with care, every solution with honesty, and every home with purpose. Our goal isn’t just to make a cash offer—it’s to provide clarity, support, and peace of mind during what can often be a stressful season of life.
Our business is built on four core values: Dependability, Honesty, Impact, and Empathy. We show up when we say we will, follow through on our word, and always give you truthful answers—because trust matters. We want every seller we work with to feel relief, not pressure. We know that selling a home often comes during life’s hardest moments, and we’re here to walk beside you with understanding and compassion.
