Associate Broker, TJS Team · Keller Williams Atlanta Partners
Before I sold a house I was a financial analyst for a commercial real estate company. I hold a Master's in Real Estate Development from Clemson, and I invest in this market myself — so I run the numbers on a house the way an investor would, then tell you what I found, even when it's not what you want to hear. Full service in English and Mandarin.
Straight answers for North Atlanta's $500K+ homes — in English and Mandarin.
