Young Guns: Reinvigorating the Intown market
Adam Ellis, 29
Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty
Growing up in real estate, it was only natural for Adam Ellis to join the housing industry after graduating magna cum laude, in 2004, from the University of Georgia. Teaming up with his mother, Patti, to form Team Ellis, Adams serves Intown neighborhoods through Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. “I guess you could say that real estate is in my blood,” says Ellis, who earned a degree in advertising from UGA, and today brings his marketing knowledge and skills to the team. “I grew up with a mother in real estate and a father in home building. At eight, I’d ride in the back seat accompanying my mom on real estate runs. At 12, I was designing flyers for Mom’s listings.”
Team Ellis specializes in properties in Intown neighborhoods such as Midtown, Morningside, Virginia Highland and Ansley Park.
“I love being able to help people find a home that they love or help them move on to another stage in their life,” says the 29-year-old Ellis, a Life member of the Atlanta Board of Realtors Million Dollar Club.
“Making sure our homes have extensive Web presence is a main focus,” he adds. “We also emphasize the fact that we stay in constant contact with our clients – whether it’s through e-mail updates and reports or phone calls.”
For balance, he enjoys spending time at the gym.
“As unpredictable as this business can be,” says Ellis, “that’s the one place I can go every day and regain a little control in my life. Being involved in some neighborhood organizations is also a good way to get to know the faces behind some of the homes you look at every day. Also, volunteering for some organizations, such as CHRIS Kids, helps take the focus outside of myself.”
