Ep 15: Duke Dodson and Atlas Realty
We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to sit with the one and only (um... 2 and only?) Sean and Darren from Atlas Realty Group - Dodson Properties! We love these guys and what they have done in the Richmond area. If you don't know who they are, they are a "boutique" real estate company (meaning they focus on their clients and a concentrated area instead of branching out and being too broad over a number of areas). This is a great watch! Here are some of the highlights from this episode:
- Sean moved to Richmond in 2005 for love (and is still with Mindie
- Darren was born and raised in RVA
- They both went from selling phones to flipping houses to their current profession of full service real estate
- Sean and Darren enjoy hanging out outside of work as well. Their clients will often see them out and about after work hours!
- Enjoy a real estate market analysis compared to last year
- They don't branch out too much because they want to be small enough to stay connected with their clients. They love being there for every part of the experience and their clients and the Richmond area are EXTREMELY important to them.
This was such a great conversation! Thanks so much for joining us guys!
