REAL DEAL
August 24, 2011
We caught up with Sperry Van Ness? Bill Graham and SRS Real Estate Partners' Tyler Isbell in Atlanta, of all places. That's because the duo were there to launch as founding partners of REAL Professionals, which is now headed to Dallas. REAL Professionals is a networking group that gathers market intel and tips that members can use to generate business. (But you gotta pay to play.) The Atlanta-based organization—headed by former Atlanta Grubb & Ellis top dog Rick Lackey— has seen explosive membership growth in Atlanta in the past year, with more than 50 companies participating. The first two groups in Dallas—Uptown Dallas and Highland Park Village—are meeting for the first time today at the Crescent. What kind of intel will members be sharing? Tyler says one example is his own deal: He's representing Hurricane Grill & Wings, a Florida eatery that wants to enter the Texas market with more than 50 locations between 3,300 and 5,500 SF each. |
