CALLING HOME

A private Tuxedo Park abode, ready for its next owner

With decades of experience under his belt, real estate agent Travis Reed recently struck out on his own to form HOME Real Estate (homegeorgia.com), a new real estate firm.

Reed has brought some heavy hitters onto his team, such as Cathy Boston, Carol Young and Studie Young. His team of 15—who specialize in luxury at every budget—is ready to take on the white-hot real estate market. He says, “We formed HOME to create a synergistic, agent-focused environment that would give agents the support and tools necessary to provide a luxury real estate experience to clients at all price points. Essentially, we listened to the top producing agents and crafted the HOME experience together. It was tailor-made for them.”

Reed goes on to note, “For buyers and homeowners, the big difference is collaboration and bespoke, cutting-edge marketing. We offer the highest degree of knowledgeable realtors. HOME agents have close relationships with each other and long-term relationships throughout the marketplace. This means our agents function more effectively as a cohesive unit. We recognized that the market was changing and getting our buyers into homes first was all about discourse and relationships.”

Listing agent Studie Young

For example, agent Studie Young is representing a classic Tuxedo Park home, offered for $8,850,000. Tucked back into a private enclave within the exclusive Buckhead neighborhood, it boasts seven bedrooms, seven full baths and four half-baths on over 7 acres. It has been renovated on a few separate occasions by some of the biggest names in architecture, namely Stan Dixon and Norman Askins. Features include beamed and cathedral ceilings, a media room, a sunroom, a conservatory, a marble entryway and more—be sure to ask to see the dumbwaiter connecting the laundry room to the main-floor owners suite. Outside, an oval-shaped PebbleTec heated pool and gazebo are nicely complemented by a tennis court, five-car garage, guesthouse and personal gym, perfect for a family who wants it all with privacy.

HOME Real Estate founder Travis Reed

It’s an impressive listing, but HOME runs the gamut—all delivering on best-in-class, high-touch service to buyers and sellers, no matter the price. Reed sums it up: “I really believe that HOME represents a new standard for agents that will revitalize the traditional business model. The vision behind HOME is to advance the expectations to the highest level on the client and agent side.”
