Prudential Georgia Realty has posted record sales every year it has been in business. Operating since 1963, that’s 42 record years. The firm’s 2005 stats continue this uninterrupted record. With $2.8 billion in sales, the company experienced double digit growth with a 22 percent increase over 2004 sales.

Since reporting its 2003 home sales of $1.8 billion, Prudential Georgia Realty has increased sales by $1 billion, or 56 percent. For 2005, sales were based on 10,600 closed transactions. This is another first for the company, as it had never surpassed the 10,000 transaction mark before. The average sales price per home was $264,000, a $20,000 increase over the previous year.

“These numbers indicate real estate remains a strong and growing market in metro Atlanta,” said Prudential Georgia Realty President and CEO Dan Forsman. “We have a diverse market in Atlanta and people’s investments in real estate in the form of primary residences, rental properties and land are far outpacing other investment markets.”

Prudential Georgia Realty is one of the largest real estate companies in metro Atlanta. According to the most current ranking by Real Estate Magazine, it is one of the top 100 real estate companies in the U.S., placing 52nd for most 2004 transactions in the real estate trade magazine’s 2005 Power Broker Report. In addition the company has been honored with a Consumers’ Choice Award as Best in Class for Executive Home Sales in metro Atlanta for the last two years.

To keep pace with expanding office rosters and the broadening circle that is considered metro Atlanta, the company continues to open additional or expanded locations. In 2005, the company established a second office in FayetteCounty and is in the process of opening a location in McDonough. It also expanded and relocated its Sandy Springs,South Gwinnett and Gainesville offices to take advantage of better and larger locations. Additional office space was added to the East Cobb, North Fulton, Lilburn, 400 North and Corporate branches.

In early 2006, Prudential Georgia Realty expects to open its largest branch yet when it relocates its Midtown office to a 13,000 square foot space on Peachtree Street near the High Museum of Art. The company also expects to move itsDuluth, Douglasville and Hiawassee branches to new, larger facilities this year.

With mortgage rates continuing to remain competitive, Forsman sees 2006 as one full of possibilities and opportunities. According to Forsman, “the American dream of home ownership is still alive and well in metro Atlanta.”
