Over the years, we have expanded and have integrated our investment philosophy for the homebuyer. As an investor we bought properties for value. We translate this methodology to your home buying process. Buyers look for personal preference in style and functionality. We use the mix of prospecting value with the buyer's personal preferences to find your home. Drake Realty is a full service real estate company serving the greater Atlanta area. Our clients range from first time homebuyers to investors. Our services includes buyers broker, sellers broker, property management, and investment realty. We also keep a database of contractors, mortgage companies, and many other services required by our clients. Don't ask your real estate agent how many homes they have sold for other people. Ask them how many they have bought for themselves!
