Mark Jones
I started my Real Estate career as a starving new agent in 1990. I was fortunate enough to be able to open Prestige Properties in 1997. It brings me great joy and pride to have worked in the Auburn-Opelika Real Estate market for over 30 years. I have surrounded myself with an amazing staff and some of the best agents in the industry.
Prestige Properties has the distinct honor of being home to Lee County's REALTOR® of the Year seven times over the past years. As a privately owned and privately operated business, we love to say that we are "Not Part of a Chain...We Are Part of the Community!" We are so appreciative to all our clients who have made us a staple in this great community. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you for your continued support.
Owner/Broker
Blake Peacock
As operations manager with Prestige Properties, my job entails overseeing day-to-day operations. I love being able to assist and help in every aspect of the home sale and rental process. I also love being able to help and assist agents when they need me.
I love Auburn/Opelika and how the area is not too big, but not too small. There are plenty of great things to do in this community without the heavy traffic of cities like Atlanta or Birmingham. I have a miniature chocolate schnauzer that can be seen visiting the office from time to time. If I am not doing DIY home projects, I love going out to dinner at the many locally-owned restaurants.

Case Nappier
Working with Prestige Properties, I help and assist buyers and sellers with all of their real estate needs! My favorite part about being a realtor is the many new faces I come in contact with on a daily basis. Meeting new people and constantly learning about this industry is something I’m truly passionate about and I couldn’t be happier doing it here at Prestige! The thing I love most about the Auburn/Opelika area is the small town feel it has even though it is constantly growing every day. There’s nothing better than being in an area like this and being able to enjoy the many experiences that come along with it! I come from a small town called Ashland in Clay County, Alabama, and made my move to Auburn to start my real estate career. In my free time, I enjoy attending sporting events, traveling, and going to concerts.
Property Manager/Realtor®
Marlene Bowman
I have over 16 years of experience in the real estate industry. I help my clients find their perfect property and make the sale of their current home! I love meeting new people and helping them transition between homes and sometimes a new town. Buying and selling can be stressful and my goal is to give personalized service to help make everything easier on my clients.
There is such a connection in our Auburn/Opelika community, making it a great place to live. The university brings so many of us together in different ways and it is so special to be a part of the Auburn family. It's a friendly place and there is always something fun to do where you will run into friends.
My family has lived on a small horse farm for many years and our horses and dogs are a big part of our family. We have 3 grown children and 2 amazing grandchildren. We spend most of our time outside working around the farm or following our Tigers in sports. My favorite place to visit is the mountains where we all enjoy hiking the beautiful trails. War Eagle!

Ashley Durham
In 2006, after graduating from Auburn University and spending a short time in communications and marketing, I began a real estate career. My husband, James, is in the mortgage industry and encouraged me to get into the business shortly after our wedding. The Real Estate business served us well for over 15 years where I obtained titles such as Accredited Buyer’s Agent, Graduate of Realtor Institute, ePro, Certified Residential Specialist, and Realtor of the Year.
Having the opportunity to serve the industry through volunteer positions on the Lee County Board of Realtors and Women’s Council of Realtors helped me gain amazing relationships in the industry, as well as grow a team of six female businesswomen that worked together to sell 30 million dollars in real estate or more for several years.
Those relationships along with success in residential sales led me into new construction sales management for three years and have now provided an opportunity to spend the majority of time with James and our three children in Texas. Since connecting people with property and community is a continued passion, I’m currently fulfilling that desire by connecting buyers and sellers to otherwise professionals in the market to serve their needs.

Catherine Lowder
I started in 2016 with Prestige Properties and I have over 10 years of experience in the industry. I love solving problems for people! I feel like buying or selling in today’s market can be challenging and helping people navigate that successfully is what I love to do.
Auburn and Opelika are great places to live and both still have that small-town feel even though they have grown so much in the last decade. I live near downtown Auburn and I wouldn’t live anywhere else. I love being close to the university and all of the restaurants and shops.
Outside of work I serve as a board member for the Lee County Humane Society. My passion is rescue dogs. I frequently foster dogs and my dream is to one day have my own dog rescue farm. I also LOVE my AUBURN TIGERS!

Debby Thayer
I have been with Prestige Properties since 2009! I have worked in the Real Estate industry for over 30 years in residential, new construction, and farms. I enjoy helping first-time homebuyers and repeat clients. I love getting to know the client, their wants and needs, and finding the right property for them to be happy in. Seeing clients I have worked with grow and move into the new phase of their life is all so gratifying for me. When the situation presents itself, I enjoy bringing out my “farm knowledge” to help others find their new farm home.
I enjoy the Auburn/Opelika area and find that even though it is growing, it still has that small-town feel-good atmosphere. A large part of my family came from the Auburn/Opelika area, enticing me to plant my roots here. My husband Mitch and I have a little 20-acre paradise close by. We share the home with our two dogs and two donkeys. We have a daughter, Andra, and two sons, Matt and Herb. Blessed with a big family, we also have four grandchildren, Blake, Ian, Luke, and Mati. I love spending time with my family, traveling, gardening, and creating large “messterpieces” in my art studio!

Having a successful result between a buyer and a seller is more than putting a sign-up and presenting offers and counteroffers in a transaction. It is the ability of the REALTOR® to communicate and act as an effective liaison between all parties involved. Timing and bridging the gap can mean everything. Keeping my finger on the pulse of all involved, whether it is buyer, seller, loan officer, or inspector has always been my goal to a smooth closing.
