Featured in Jezebel Magazine's 2010 "Who's Who of Atlanta Realtors" Issue!

My business partner Andrew & I were honored to be featured in Jezebel Magazine's 2010 "Who's Who of Atlanta Real Estate Professionals" issue! This prestigious Atlanta magazine only chose 8 agents/teams throughout the Metro Atlanta area to feature and we were thrilled to be one of them. You can find the feature in the April issue (which is also their annual "Best Of Atlanta" issue), but here is a sneak peek! Because it is also the Best Of Atlanta issue, the original article was cut down for space reasons. But never fear, you can read the full one below!

Atlanta’s “A Team” is comprised of Andrew Malone and Alix Nadi, two of Atlanta’s most successful young Realtors. Andrew and Alix have known each other for over a decade and worked together for the past three years, growing an incredibly successful business which is based on building client relationships that extend past closing. Andrew actually sold Alix her first home in 2003, a process through which they became good friends, and Andrew approaching Alix to join his team in 2007.

Both natives of Atlanta, Andrew grew up in Dunwoody and is a Cum Laude graduate from Georgia State University with a degree in Finance and Marketing. He joined RE/MAX directly after college and grew a thriving business on his own, selling over 200 homes and becoming the Top Agent in the office 4 years running. Alix also grew up in Atlanta and graduated with honors from Georgia Tech with a degree in architecture, a field in which she worked for 5 years after college. In 2007 Andrew approached Alix about switching careers, and the rest, as they say, is history! Alix finds that her architecture background has been incredibly helpful in this business. Working as an architect and urban planner in the Atlanta area for the ten years prior to coming to RE/MAX gave her invaluable knowledge and a deep understanding of the Atlanta market, and she enjoys putting her experience in that field to work for her clients now.

Since the birth of the A-Team, Andrew and Alix’s hard work immediately paid off and they have earned Top Sales Team honors the past 3 years, building their business entirely on referrals. “When Andrew first approached me about joining him, I told him that if I had to be a ‘salesman’ I wasn’t interested,” says Alix. “He told me not to worry and shared the secret to his success: working by referral. Rather than following the traditional real estate model of cold calling, chasing expired listings, and trying to convert For Sale By Owners, we base our business on relationships. We count on the assumption that if we provide the very best service possible to our clients, they will happily refer us to their friends & family...and we create lasting relationships along the way!”

Andrew and Alix are true partners and balance and reinforce each other’s strengths. Although they both work throughout metro-Atlanta, Andrew typically specializes in the northern suburbs, while Alix’s expertise is the in-town neighborhoods. They each work both sides of the transaction, but Andrew tends to focus more on the listing side while Alix loves to work on the buying side – particularly with first time buyers! This diverse knowledge base allows them to provide unparalleled service to their clients, working tirelessly with an energy and enthusiasm for the job they do. “Our goal is help guide our clients through what can be an intimidating and confusing process with the least amount of stress possible. We strive to eliminate confusion in the home buying or selling process and devote ourselves to serving the needs of our clients before, during, and after each transaction,” says Andrew.

Their results speak for themselves: over 90% of their business comes via referral and they have maintained close contact with all their past clients. “Most of my clients have become good friends. That, to me, is success,” says Alix.
