Meet Patrick Benton:
Environs’ Latest Realtor Team Member
|
|
“
I think most of my friends would describe me as friendly, outgoing and over-talkative.“
Patrick’s favorite part of being a realtor is getting to know his clients on a
personal level and helping them determine their true real estate goals and desires.
“Frequently”, he explains, “clients come to me thinking they know exactly what they want in a new home or property. After speaking with them and asking some
why is this or that important to you questions, many come to realize there may be better options for them they had never considered. The discovery process is always fun.”

Patrick joined us earlier this month and, in addition to being a Midtown Atlanta connoisseur (having lived here for 25 years), he recently left a long-term corporate career to follow his dream of becoming an Atlanta Realtor! He told us
“I wanted to become part of the dynamic development and transformation of my city“.
Patrick has discovered that buyers and sellers appreciate his low-key and no-pressure approach. This helps them realize he truly is interested in their happiness and well being, not his own success.
Patrick’s friendly and outgoing nature helps him to stand out from other agents. He truly loves meeting and helping people and believes in the inherent basic goodness of humans. This is one of the many reasons he is a good fit with the
Environs Team.
The main thing Patrick wants to accomplish in real estate is a successful, meaningful career based on client satisfaction. He told us that he would not be satisfied with financial success if he had not helped others along the way!

A concept called “The Stitch”, proposed by business coalition Central Atlanta Progress, has been revealed that will reestablish links between Midtown and Downtown Atlanta. This 14-acre project would reflect the “new-again philosophy of walkable, people-oriented urbanism…”

| Eastside’s Trolley Line Trail – Money from T-SPLOST? |
|
|
|
The Atlanta-Decatur trolley line used to wind its way through Cabbagetown and Kirkwood and has since been made into a partial trail.
The trail was intended to continue into Edgewood but had funding issues. There is potential that the T-SPLOST will provide funding to connect the trail to the Beltline in Reynoldstown.
