Listing & selling a metro Atlanta Mansion formerly built for Atlanta Falcons Mike Vick as TMZ reported was not a typical deal. This property was listed in a market with less than a 1% market absorption rate. The absorption rate is the likelihood that a property will sell in a given time period. A good absorption rate in real estate is 10%. Most luxury real estate companies around the world won’t list a property under an 8% market absorption rate or 8% likely to sell rate so listing & selling this property with a less than 1% market penetration rate is pretty iconic.
Luxury Mansion’s in any market are tailored for a specific multi million dollar buyer or specific target audience so luxury home sellers benefit by choosing an experienced luxury real estate brokerage. I’m extremely pleased that our clients & customers allowed us to not only prove to the market how strong of a luxury real estate company we are but to have served them with highest & best in return.

Why is it important for women of color to lead or work in leadership roles and decision-making capacities?
It is important for women of color to lead in leadership and decision making capacities because if we have to see people who look like us succeeding at the highest and best capacity to really believe it’s possible. Before I started my own brokerage, I had the pleasure of working under another brokerage owner who is a woman of color. I’d just left a corporate job at IBM as a large enterprise consultant in the late ’90s. I learned very early from corporate that you have to give to get. I asked the Broker if I could volunteer without pay to serve her team in a capacity they could utilize as a new licensee. She agreed and the rest is history. I knew that establishing my own brokerage was possible.
