WHO’S ON FIRST: Who and What is selling these days?
I’ve sold new-homes in Atlanta for over 15 years, working exclusively for the last ten of those years for one home-builder. Two years ago, however, I felt that something was happening in the building industry. Although I couldn’t put my finger on it, I knew something was ‘going down’. In retrospect, I felt the rumblings of what was coming in the housing industry.
It’s been almost 2 years since I left that job. Happily, since leaving the job that I loved for so many years, I’ve found new passion in my work: I am absolutely in love with what I do!
I’ve branched out in my work and, instead of one seller, I now represent both sellers and buyers, from individuals to builders to a bank that holds title to many of the area’s new-homes (foreclosures). I’m working harder than I’ve ever worked, but I believe that I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing: making a living and helping Atlanta’s home sellers and home buyers get through this difficult period of time.
I’m learning about areas of the city that I never knew, from Brookhaven to Canton, Sandy Springs, Lawrenceville, Dunwoody, Buckhead, Vinings, Woodstock, Marietta, Snellville and back home again to Brookhaven. I’ve also added two great agents to my team, Joy Kirkland and Nora Jacobs, both of whom have helped me keep many of these areas straight! Joy lives in NW Atlanta and Nora is a 3rd-generation NE Atlantan. Both have experience in the housing industry and all three of us love what we do!
Even if you are not looking to sell or buy property, I hope you will continue reading my posts. Knowing what is going on in Atlanta’s housing industry is important and I would love to arm you with more information.
