About:
Associate Broker Gloria B. Williams' clients have a distinct advantage. Serving home buyers and sellers in Atlanta's Southern Crescent for the past 9 years, Gloria brings her clients the benefit of experience, combined with unmatched skills, knowledge, and a passion for serving their best interests. Her diligence in anticipating a client's every need, explaining each step of their transaction, and responding quickly to calls and emails has gained her a reputation for making each buyer or seller feel as if they were her only concern. A skilled negotiator, she enjoys navigating through the intricacies of each transaction. Where some might see problems, she sees opportunities for resolution. This attitude, followed by action, often provides the "glue" that holds transactions together against seemingly impossible odds. Gloria attributes part of her success to determination, drive, and that self-imposed responsibility to protect her clients. The rest she attributes to curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. Whether dealing with a first time buyer, a luxury home seller, or anyone in between, Gloria respects the fact that their home investment plays a significant role in their financial and emotional lives. To assist them, she relies on her experience, her continual study of changes in the market, and the additional knowledge gained from taking specialized classes that add to her skills and understanding of specific client needs. Gloria holds more than a dozen different designations and certifications, including ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative), SRS (Seller Representative Specialist), ePRO (Internet Professional), SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource), SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist), and MRP (Military Relocation Professional). She's also licensed in Georgia as a Registered Appraiser. The continuing education required to hold this license gives her a strong base from which to offer price opinions for sellers, and gives her buyers a knowledgeable advocate. She is able to critically assess an appraiser's findings to assure that valuations are sound and that concerns are properly addressed by sellers prior to closing. Gloria holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and a Master of Science Degree in Management. Before turning to real estate she held administrative and financial positions in the government sector with the Department of Education, the private sector with such firms as Shell Oil and Atlantic Richfield, and the non-profit sector with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. Gloria is pleased to offer the latest in e-friendly services. Not only do her listings get wide exposure, she offers her buyers detailed search capabilities, instant notifications, and immediate information retrieval – even with their smart phones. Enthusiastic about the quality of life in Atlanta's Southern Crescent, Gloria cites the restaurants, the shopping, the medical facilities, the low crime rate, and the excellence of the school system. Fayette County Schools rate in the top 3% of the 162 school districts in Georgia. Fayette County Schools' excellence is based on a vision that students should emerge from school capable of living and working effectively, responsibly and productively in a global environment. It is achieved by setting high expectations for every student and by creating a partnership among students, families, schools, and community. Gloria is also enthusiastic about Pinewood Studios' expansion into Fayette County. Pinewood Atlanta Studios will be involved with film, television and video game markets – and is expected to add an approximate 3,400 new jobs to the local economy. The 1200 acre project also includes an upscale mixed use community modeled after Gulf Coast resort community Seaside, FL. When you're looking for a knowledgeable and experienced professional who will give you the guidance and attention you deserve and protect your interests at every turn, look to Gloria B. Williams. You'll soon know why so many of her past clients say they'd never choose anyone else.
