Business
Structure
Our strength begins
with our Associates. This proven group of professionals has an average
length of service in the residential real estate business of over fourteen
(14) years each. Their collective awards and designations are a testament
to their commitment to the profession and success over the years.

Six (6) are Eagle
Award recipients, in recognition of ten (10) consecutive years of
million dollar production. |

The Broker/Owners are
another part of our strength. Tim Sheridan and Steve Solomon
have extensive experience in real estate sales and office management.
Mr. Sheridan has been
a solid top producer in the Macon market since 1987. In 1998 he received
the prestigious Eagle Award from the Middle Georgia Association of Realtors.
Mr. Solomon began his career in 1982 as a Sales Associate and was the
youngest person ever to receive Life Membership in the Million Dollar
Club in 1986. In 1988 he became the Managing Broker for Macon's largest
residential real estate company, which consisted of thirty-five (35) agents.
By 1999 the company had grown to seventy-five (75) agents and two (2)
offices, while still maintaining the Number One position in the Macon
market and a growing market share in the Warner Robins office. Then in
1999, Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Solomon saw an opportunity to start their own
real estate company. Their new company was developed to concentrate on
high quality service for clients and high productivity for Associates.
