Meet The Team
A residential real estate professional for over 16 years, Aaron has developed a keen aptitude stemming from his sincere interest, knowledge and experience in the real estate industry. His professional track record is built on integrity, energy and hard work, while embodying the ability to cater and adapt to every detail of his client’s real estate transaction.
Aaron was born and raised in Nashville, TN, where he launched his career as a small business owner of a grass cutting business called Stephens Brothers. He has worked in multiple aspects of the real estate industry including construction, renovations, sales, HOA and property management. Buying, selling and flipping houses of his own has provided Aaron with valuable skills and afforded him a sensitivity towards his client’s journey.
Outside of real estate, Aaron takes pride in giving back to the community where he serves as an active member of First Baptist of Opelika, volunteers as a rec league coach, and helps others through mission work. His passion for travel led him to backpack through Europe for 22 days and visit 45 states!
Aaron is married and has three very active children. An outdoorsman by nature, he loves to hunt and fish! He also enjoys the beach, water/snow skiing and all outdoor sports and activities that involve his family.
The contagious laughter and optimism of Martha Williams easily translates to enthusiasm for her clients’ search for their ideal home in the Auburn/Opelika area as well as scenic Lake Martin.

Originally from Tunica, Mississippi, Martha was born and raised in the heart of the Delta, where the primary focus is home and family. She earned a degree from Mississippi State University in Home Economics with a focus in Interior Design and began her career with Dillard’s in retail management as a clothing buyer. Martha also worked remotely for several years as a medical transcriptionist, which deepened her understanding for home office needs and how your home needs to enhance your lifestyle.
Martha has lived in Auburn since 2004 and is active in our local community. She respects parents’ education decisions since her sons attended both public and private schools. A parent volunteer initially, she now serves as a Board Member of the Auburn Area Community Theatre. Martha has even appeared on stage as an actress herself!

Growing up in the construction industry is a real plus for me in my day to day job in real estate. My dad, Allen Harris, owner of Bailey-Harris Construction, taught me from an early age about the importance of hard work and customer satisfaction. I love new construction and development and I have truly enjoyed watching the Auburn area grow over the years. I think my long term experience with the area is a meaningful benefit to my clients.
I am a lifelong resident of Auburn, I graduated from Opelika High School and attended Auburn University. Post-college, I caught the travel bug, and became a Flight Attendant for Delta Airlines for almost 10 years. I was based in Dallas and Atlanta and loved my job! I flew international routes the last three years until after my second daughter was born, and I decided to come back to Auburn full time.
It was then I purchased a piece of Opelika tradition in a home décor and gifts store down on Railroad Avenue in the mid 90’s called High Cotton. I love interior design and helping others with color scheme, design and decorating in their homes. It was this love that lead me into a career in real estate. I love building relationships and helping my clients to truly find a “home.” As far as I am concerned, that is the best part of being in Auburn!
I am very proud of my two daughters, a senior at Ole Miss, and my oldest is also a realtor in Auburn and married to the greatest son in law I could ask for and they have my precious 2 year old granddaughter who is the light of my life! I love Auburn football, family gatherings, traveling and the beach.
