The story behind Athena Estate Sales Athens, GA
Welcome to the heart of Athena Estate Sales, where a passion for unique household goods, deep local history, and a commitment to compassionate service come together. This is Monica and Chris, the dedicated husband-and-wife team and sole operators behind Athens, GA’s longest-running, woman-owned and operated estate liquidation firm.
A passion cultivated over generations
The journey into estate liquidation is deeply personal and extends back generations.
About Our Team
Chris’s fascination with unique treasures began as a toddler, attending auctions with family who owned the beloved “Crabapple General Store” in Roswell, GA. This early passion stayed with him as he came to Athens to pursue education at the University of Georgia, where he earned two degrees. His love for the Classic City and its history proved strong, and after graduating, he never left, returning to a lifelong appreciation for antiques and beautiful household goods.
Monica brings a rich international perspective and an eye for design to the team. Originally from Nicaragua, she arrived in the United States in 1986. After a career in interior design, Monica’s natural affinity for aesthetics and unique pieces led her to own a vintage and antiquities store, further enhancing expertise in evaluating and curating valuable collections.
Together, combined experience and shared dedication form the foundation of Athena Estate Sales.

As a frequent estate sale shopper, I know that sales from Athena will be well-organized, easy to shop, and have pricing that encourages moving well-loved treasures on to new homes. When deciding which sales I'm going to spend my time going to Athena tops the list. I am happy to recommend Athena to friends who need to have an estate sale and other treasure hunters who want to shop antique or vintage. They take good care.Posted on Jeff BartenfeldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My parents had been in their home for 60 years. Every available space was filled with the various things they collected over the decades. They stunned me with how amazing the whole place looked when they were finished! I never saw the house like that since I came home from the hospital. The amount of work that they put in is astonishing. My whole family is as impressed as we are grateful for their work!Posted on Dennis LossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We always enjoy their sales, and highly recommend them! ...Dennis and Jorma Loss.Posted on N DudarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with this company has been exceptional. This company treats the estate, its contracted clients and customers with professionalism, respect and kindness. I have been to many of their sales and no matter what they are selling, hardware or art the surroundings are kept clean and as clearly marked. They are very helpful and will tell you all they know of an item when they can. Sometimes, they are just too busy with customers to tell the story behind an item and that is understandable. I’m glad to see their line so busy with customers, they host great salesPosted on Jill BlackmonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with Athena! The estate sale was well organized and their team was awesome to deal and work with. They went above and beyond to make sure I got a fair deal and even helped load large furniture items into my car. They were so friendly and personable. I will definitely continue to go to their sales!Posted on Charles PalmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Another beautiful sale. Always organized clean and everything is priced. This is always one of the best sales my wife and I attend. There is always someone available to answer questions and offer explanations. This is not always the case at many other sales we have attended. Kudos to Monica and ChrisPosted on Grace LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
