Beacon Expands Into Athens

Beacon Management Services continues its strategic growth across Georgia with a presence in the Athens area —marking the integration of Compass Association Management into the Beacon portfolio.

Compass has built a strong reputation in the Athens market, supporting community associations, mixed-use developments, and master-planned neighborhoods with consistency and expertise. Their deep local roots and established client relationships bring immediate strength and credibility to Beacon’s expanded footprint.

Under the leadership of brokers Angie Durham and Kellie Scott—each bringing more than 20 years of real estate experience—Compass has developed a reputation defined by reliability, responsiveness, and a strong understanding of the communities they serve. That leadership—and the team behind it—will remain a vital part of the operation moving forward.

This expansion comes at a pivotal time. The Highway 316 corridor, stretching from northeast Atlanta to Athens, is rapidly transforming into one of the state’s most dynamic growth engines. Fueled by new residential communities, expanding commercial development, and a surge of new residents, the corridor is redefining the connection between two of Georgia’s most vibrant markets.

Angie Durham

Broker and Co-Founder

Angie Durham began her career in association and leasing management in 2002, building a strong foundation in property operations, client relations, and community management. She spent nearly two decades with a respected Athens-based firm, where she developed extensive industry expertise and long-standing relationships within the community.

An entrepreneurial leader, Angie launched her own leasing company in 2014, successfully growing the business over seven years before selling it in 2021. That same year marked another major milestone in her career—acquiring her former employer’s association management business which she and business partner, Kellie Scott, continued to grow throughout the last 5 years.

Angie’s professional credentials reflect her depth of knowledge and commitment to excellence. She became a licensed real estate agent in 2001 and earned her broker’s license in 2010. Today, she brings more than 25 years of experience, strategic insight, and a client-focused approach to every aspect of association management.
