Ryan McCauley of the East Cobb Office

"As a new licensee, I interviewed several companies in my quest to find the perfect broker for myself and my clients. Out of the four companies I interviewed with, I feel that I found everything I needed in Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers. The one thing that stood out the most to me initially was the marketing materials. They have everything I need to promote myself as a Realtor and everything that my clients need to promote their interests, whether that is buying, selling, or leasing. Marketing is an extremely important tool in real estate for all parties involved and the materials available from BHGRE Metro Brokers was a huge factor in my decision to join. But the marketing is just the beginning of a long list of reasons why I joined: Broker Support to assist me through transactions, access to 25 offices, free training available through the Metro Brokers Academy, the professionalism of the company… the list goes on and on. All in all, I strongly feel I made the right choice for myself and my clients. BHGRE Metro Brokers truly is "everything and the kitchen sink" and I could not be happier!"

"The real estate market is ever-evolving. I chose to join Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers because they choose to evolve with it. I was immediately impressed with the marketing tools and technological opportunities presented during recruitment. It’s true that real estate agents are independent contractors, but this is no time to be independent and out on a limb by yourself. The support and organizational tact offered by BHGRE Metro Brokers is unmatched by any other firm."
Barry Fitts of the Gwinnett Office

"As a licensed residential contractor and new home builder, I’ve built, sold and closed over 500 homes since 1995. In 2009, I decided to get my real estate license. I was invited to the corporate offices of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers on a recommendation by my former broker at Exit. Wow I was impressed! Not only is BHGRE Metro Brokers the largest shop in the state, their reputation and market presence are second to none. After seeing the training, tools and technology that BHGRE Metro Brokers provides their agents, I see why. These assets coupled with incredible Broker and Technology Support staffs made joining BHGRE Metro Brokers on the spot an easy decision. It’s been close to 3 months since I made the switch and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve been amazed at how easy and seamless it is to work with this organization is and how the support staff is there and accessible if needed. I’m very happy about my decision to join BHGRE Metro Brokers and would recommend them to any agent who is looking to be successful."

"I’ve been a real estate agent for 5 years, most of that time spent with smaller firms. I talked with another agent about Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers and decided to look into joining the company. The name is what really sold me on making the switch. When I give my business card to potential clients, I can see the interest and pleasure on their faces because they’re dealing with a name they know. I’ve already attended many events as a BHGRE Metro Brokers agent and that “Better Homes and Gardens” name gets attention and gets clients. However, this company is more than just a big name. The support from my office manager, broker support department, and Metro Brokers Academy has been great since I joined. I’ve been involved in real estate, building and selling my own homes, for the last 30 years and I do it because it’s what I enjoy. I’m glad to have found a company to help support me in doing what I love."

"Getting my real estate license was long overdue – I love the profession, but needed a catalyst to launch my career. I spent weeks interviewing brokers, knowing that I wanted to work for a full-service agency that would provide me with the tools to do my job effectively and the training to make me the best Real Estate Specialist I can be. No one else has the benefits that BHGRE Metro Brokers offers – a technology backbone that operates flawlessly and the IT support to help me use it; a broker support team that is so accessible and knowledgeable that I get the help I need and learn something every time I call; beautiful, full-service offices everywhere I need them; and a plethora of FREE training so I can hone my skills in every aspect of real estate that interests me and some I never considered. Everyone I’ve met here has a positive, friendly, welcoming attitude. I feel better and better about my choice to be a BHGRE Metro Brokers agent every day. I know that working with BHGRE Metro Brokers will make me more successful than I could ever be on my own."
Gwen Stovall of the Peachtree City Office

"I began looking into Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers after attending a real estate seminar where I met an agent who suggested I look into the company and their training programs. I must say that I’m truly impressed. I’ve been licensed for over 10 years, but I’ve never had the opportunity to receive such in-depth training as I’ve gotten in the three months since I joined. I’m taking this very seriously and going back to the basics with Metro Brokers’ MBA and PHD classes. They’re great refresher classes that provide good ideas for how I can re-ignite my business. I’ve already learned so much and am excited to be a part of this company."
Danielle Scott of the Stonecrest office

“What I like most about Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers is that every department within the company seems to work together with one goal in mind: to assist and build their agents’ careers. My favorite resource is the Broker Support department. It’s wonderful! Having experienced brokers available all hours of the week to answer any questions or concerns you may have with any deals you’re currently working is such a valuable resource. They’re friendly, always willing to help, and happy to teach. I feel that BHGRE Metro Brokers pushes agents to achieve their best by providing the tools needed to be successful power agents. The marketing, technology, and training are all top-notch. I feel really confident and happy in the choice I’ve made in joining BHGRE Metro Brokers. I wish I’d joined years ago.”
Carole Blocker of the North Fulton office

“In the fourth quarter of 2010, I was sure I would be unable to reach my goals for the year. I had two choices: find a better environment where my business would prosper or start handing out resumes. I decided to stay on the career path that I love. I interviewed a few firms and found I was most comfortable and excited about the opportunities available at BHGRE Metro Brokers. I found the atmosphere goes beyond professionalism. I have not met one agent who is focused on the negative aspects of our business. Instead, I only hear positive feedback and excitement for new opportunities still out there. I did not feel this in any other firm I interviewed. I know this encouraging environment has been the catalyst for the increase in my business. I’ve handled more business so far in 2011 than I did in the first half of 2010. I’ve been blessed to have made the move to BHGRE Metro Brokers.”
Kirk Hill of the Northlake office

“My decision to join Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers was initiated by a friend and fellow agent. When I visited the corporate office and met the department heads, I was so impressed with the support and tools I would have to grow my business. The BHGRE Metro Brokers’ website, the training opportunities offered, the broker support, and the access to 25 offices around metro Atlanta all played a part in my decision to switch. The transition was awesome. My recruiter had me up and running with signs, business cards, and everything else I needed within a few days. My office manager has also exceeded all of my expectations and made me feel right at home. I couldn’t have asked for more.”
Bet Latora of the North Fulton office

“I became interested in Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers after speaking with a friend who had just made the transition. She was so enthusiastic about her new company that I knew I had to check it out. From the moment I walked into the office, I could feel the energy. I knew this was the change I needed, the chance to recharge my battery. BHGRE Metro Brokers offers so many great services that I knew I could not pass up. Access to broker support and tech support, the Super Sunday Open House program, innovative marketing strategies, the education, and the brand presence throughout the metro Atlanta area are just a few reasons I wanted to switch. I feel so much more connected to what is going on in the market since joining, and I know this will help me be even more successful.”
Candy Bowen of the Carroll office

“I joined Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers because I needed more tools to grow my business than my old company could provide. The experience, technology, and support I now have with BHGRE Metro Brokers means that I will always be able to access information when I need it. Having access to Broker Support was the biggest factor in my decision to switch. In the past, I’ve always had to solve problems myself because there was no one readily available to answer questions. The continuing education offered through the company also gives me the confidence I need to progress into new areas of real estate. I love knowing I have the support of BHGRE Metro Brokers behind me. I’m very excited about the new possibilities with this company and I’m looking forward to a great year in real estate.”
Adrian Ashmore of the Douglasville office

“I’ve been in real estate for 7 years. I haven’t been with many firms, but I’ve been with some of the big ones. While with these companies, I felt that I lacked the full support that a hard working agent really needs. I’ve checked out a lot (and I mean a lot) of real estate companies and at the end of the day, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers is the best of the best. Most other companies have a lot of hype, but then lack the luster they profess to have. Not BHGRE Metro Brokers. They have proven time and time again that they mean business in supporting your business. There isn’t one single aspect of BHGRE Metro Brokers that I can say sold me on making the switch. Instead, the culmination of many fantastic aspects (broker support, call center, access to 25 offices, technology support, and so much more) provided by BHGRE Metro Brokers made me know I was making the right decision for me. My only regret is that it took me so long to make the right move.”
Rene Harris of the Jasper office

"I joined BHGRE Metro Brokers because I was in a small mom and pop company and going to work was just the same thing every day. I wanted a company that provided support and encouragement…I found it at BHGRE Metro Brokers. I have wonderful tech support that has made me excited about my website. I’ve found direction to get involved with GAR and I’m now on the Professional Development Board. Plus, all the training BHGRE Metro Brokers offers has led me to a new direction in commercial real estate. I’m happy BHGRE Metro Brokers found me and I found them! "
Donna Ratcliffe of the Blairsville office

"I've always been a fan of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate and their values toward customers. After recently moving from another state and hearing that the prestigious BHGRE Metro Brokers was opening an office in Blairsville, I immediately placed my real estate license with that office. It was then that I found the unexpected extras that BHGRE Metro Brokers offers including all of the awesome training available to agents. No matter the agents' years in the business, it’s usually cumbersome to just “start over”. BHGRE Metro Brokers has made the transition exciting for me. After almost 30 years in the business in five different states, I certainly recognize the difference!"
Althea A. Alvaranga of the Gwinnett Office
Traded up from S.D. & Associates
The decision to join BHGRE Metro Brokers was initiated by a fellow agent who had joined and called to share her excitement and enthusiasm, insisting that I meet with a recruiter. After the first meeting, it was apparent that I needed to make a change. The recruiter addressed all of my concerns honestly, clearly mapping the wonderful resources that are available, and the level to which my business could grow. I was impressed! My personal goals are large, and I am now given the opportunity to be with a company dynamic enough to help me accomplish these goals. What I am most impressed with is the structure and organization! A very proactive company which is always one step ahead of a constantly changing industry, in technology, marketing strategies, education, and I’m sure plenty more that I will soon discover. I have the opportunity to learn and venture into any real estate field. And knowing I will have the backing and expertise of a great team is truly amazing. I’m extremely pleased with all that BHGRE Metro Brokers has to offer, and now I’m the one
sharing my excitement and enthusiasm!
