Meet Audrey Gautier | Real Estate Agent

We had the good fortune of connecting with Audrey Gautier and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Audrey, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Starting my own business was fueled by a mix of passion, a desire for independence, and the determination to create something meaningful for myself and my family. I wanted the freedom to carve out my own career path, utilize my strengths, and build something that truly reflected my values.
Real estate has been a key to achieving that independence, allowing me to grow not only as a professional but also as an entrepreneur. Exploring different aspects of real estate has further strengthened my ability to stand on my own and pursue success on my own terms. For me, starting this journey was about turning my vision into reality, embracing challenges, and striving for growth while staying true to myself.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My business is all about helping people achieve their real estate goals while providing exceptional service and creating lasting relationships. Whether I’m assisting buyers and sellers in Metro Atlanta or working as a Transaction Coordinator through my company, Freedom 2 Closed, I pride myself on being detail-oriented, trustworthy, and committed to delivering a seamless experience.
What sets me apart is my ability to combine my passion for real estate with my background in customer service and my strong negotiation skills. I genuinely care about my clients’ success, and I strive to educate and empower them to make informed decisions. I’m most proud of the trust I’ve built with my clients and the long-lasting relationships that have come from it.
Getting to where I am today has been a journey. It wasn’t easy—there were challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt. However, I’ve learned that perseverance, a willingness to adapt, and the support of great mentors like my broker, Ashley Mandowa, make all the difference. Overcoming those challenges required focus, continuous learning, and never losing sight of my goals.
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that growth takes time and that success is built on consistency, hard work, and authenticity. I’ve also learned to embrace challenges as opportunities to grow stronger and more resilient.
What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that I’m not just in the business of real estate—I’m in the business of building dreams, creating opportunities, and making a difference in my clients’ lives. My story is one of passion, perseverance, and purpose, and I’m excited to continue helping others achieve their goals while staying true to my values.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite spots are often small, locally owned diners just outside of Atlanta. Whenever I pick my best friend up from the airport, we usually start the day with breakfast at one of my favorite places, Breakfast Boys in College Park. After that, we like to explore a few museums to soak up some culture and history. In the evening, we’ll wind down at a lounge-like Fade and Faucet or enjoy a delicious dinner at STK Steakhouse. It’s the perfect mix of great food, good vibes, and memorable experiences!
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I’d like to give a special shoutout to Ashley Mandowa, my broker, for playing a pivotal role in my journey. Ashley has been instrumental in helping me align my business with my goals and has provided invaluable mentorship along the way. Her guidance and support have truly made a difference, and I’m incredibly grateful for the impact she’s had on my growth and success.
