The Best Atlanta Short Sales Team - How it All Started

Real Estate Agent with Solid Source Realty GA 320764

The Best Atlanta Short Sales Team began forming in my mind almost as soon as I got started in real estate.

Best Atlanta Short Sales Avoid Georgia Foreclsoure

I came to this career late in my professional life. Real estate is in fact my third entrepreneurial endeavor. When I moved to the Atlanta metro in 2006, I found that my previous business in independent television production in southern California did not easily translate to an opportunity in Georgia. I've always been a self-confessed house-a-holic and real estate aficionado, and always thought it was a field I'd like to try on for size someday.

"Someday" came in 2007, while recovering from a physical condition that kept me off my feet for several months. I took that opportunity to learn all I could about eal estate and eventually take a licensing course. Later that year, when I was back on my feet, I took the state exam and soon hung my license with my first broker.

Now, as you will recall, in 2007 the bottom was fast falling out of the once-booming real estate market. I knew almost immediately that I would only be able to grow a business in that tumultuous climate by focusing on those who needed help to sell a property that was now underwater. The need was for short sales specialists in the areas I served --  Ellenwood GA, Henry County GA and Atlanta GA -- so that is where I staked my claim.

As soon as I had a few buyer sales under my belt, I researched and invested in the best short sale training program available, and earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation. I was on my way, and I continue to upgrade my skills and short sale expertise on an ogoing basis. This is an absolute MUST in such a volatile, fast-changing field.

After a few years in this niche I had enough business to need some help, and so the Best Atlanta Short Sales Team was realized from that original idea to a dedicated team of real estate specialists. Now in it's second year of operations, Elmo Francis is the team's more-than-capable Buyer Specialist extraordinaire, and my husband, Vince Lee, brings his extensive broadcast marketing background into play as our Marketing Director.

As it looks like short sales will be a major need in the marketplace for several years to come, I have high expectations that the Best Atlanta Short Sales Team will be kept busy serving the south metro communities in and around Atlanta, GA -- helping home owners solve the foreclosure crisis, one home at a time.
