ABOUT ME

BARRY WOLFERT, ASSOCIATE BROKER
ATLANTA COMMUNITIES

Prior to entering residential real estate in 2003, I spent 15 years in the hotel industry primarily in sales and business development positions. After graduating from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Management, I joined The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company’s flagship Buckhead hotel. It was there that I learned how to deliver the finest personal service. The Ritz-Carlton’s philosophy of anticipating the unexpressed wishes and need of its guests was engrained into me and is the bedrock of my philosophy as a Realtor.

The transition from hospitality to real estate has been very natural for me. I have been fortunate to be able to combine my background in service and sales and marketing in my new profession. I earned my real estate license in 2003. In 2006, I earned my broker’s license. Currently, I am an Associate Broker with Atlanta Communities Real Estate Brokerage (formerly a part of a national franchise) and have closed over 100 transactions to date. In 2007, I was recognized as a Top Producer by the Cobb Association of Realtors which put me in the top 5% of all agents who belong to that orgnization. Here are some of the awards and recognition I have received.
