The Inside Scoop on the People & Places that Shape Atlanta Real Estate
Broker Festivus
Brokerfest

Dave Watson of Grubb and Ellis had the big idea of Brokerfest several years ago, and it's been a huge success.  The fourth annual event was held last Thursday night at The Foundry at Puritan Mill, a gentrified warehouse setting for a great night of food, cocktails, live music and casual networking.

Hundreds of real estate professionals gathered for for the event, which included a silent auction that raised more than $3,000.  Proceeds from the auction benefit RPAC (REALTOR'S Political Action Committee), and proceeds from the ticket sales aid the Atlanta Board of REALTORS Educational Foundation and the Dana G. Smith Cancer Assistance Fund.

The party was still in full force at closing time.  We'd expect nothing less from Atlanta's best in commercial real estate.  We'll see you there next year!

The Rooster stopped in on Cousins' broker lunch last Thursday at Piedmont Center North.  A true southern buffet filled the newly finished conference center on the ninth floor.  Jeff Dils and Chuck Francis stayed busy making rounds and schmoozing the crowd with details on the beautiful new office space.

The room filled quickly, no doubt in response to the drawing held for the first 65 brokers to walk through the door!  Bubba Chrismer of Cresa Partners won the foursome at East Lake Country Club, and Brian Greene, also of Cresa, was the proud winner of Falcons Owners tickets.
