Today we flip the script.A partner and select one of 4 agents on my team, JMPartners of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, Chad Carrodus interviews me. Almost 20 years ago, Determined to carve my own path within the real estate industry, I  started with no car, a minimal wardrobe, and little to no connections.  I  was relentless in pursuing success.  My circumstances drove me to learn the industry inside and out and to treat each person that crossed my path with the utmost respect from a place of service. Within 2 years, I was ranked as the number two agent within a top Atlanta office. Since then I have been a top producer in Atlanta and within my brokerage today, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. As I’ve continued to grow my sales and business, I have been voted, One to Watch, Best in Buckhaven, and Best in Atlanta. Today, I run our team, JMPartners Atlanta, a top real estate team in Atlanta.  We are a team of real estate experts who provide their clients with the same respect and fortitude that has been with me from the beginning.
