Realtor (14 years experience) Specialties:Buyer's Agent,Listing Agent,Foreclosure,Short-Sale,Property Management While she had planned her path for some time, Abbie's entry into real estate would prove unforeseen to the casual onlooker. In December 2004, Abbie graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Physics. While her stellar academics and 3.96 GPA suggested a life of science, Abbie discovered a passion for architecture and urban planning. Although graduate school on a full scholarship might have appeared a comfortable option, Abbie instead sought the challenge of building a growing a business in real estate. Resolved in her career choice, Abbie hung her license with Keller Williams Intown Atlanta. Her success was immediate. In her first year, Abbie was awarded "Rookie of the Year" for 2006. In the following years, Abbie exceeded her early promise by achieving consistent annual sales from $4.5 and $6.5 million a year. In both 2008 and 2009, Keller Williams recognized Abbie on a national level for her sales performance within the company. She was in the top three of sales associates in her office for 2008-2010. A perennial member of the Million Dollar Club, Abbie continues to thrive in a difficult market. In 2007, Abbie listed her first bank owned property. In 2008, Abbie started working with short sales. She has also worked with a number of investors over the past several years. In 2010, Abbie Agent, LLC closed over 6 million in volume of which 31% were distressed sales and 20% were investor transactions. With such a successful Real Estate career as a Residential Realtor selling new, resale, and distressed property, Abbie still stays connected to the force that brought her here - urban planning. She is now serving her second term as a member of the NPU-B board that oversees Buckhead, E. Chastain, and Brookhaven.
