Atlanta Real Estate Forum Wins Gold Hermes Award!
A huge congratulations is in order for Atlanta’s favorite real estate blog as it is officially a recipient of a Gold 2008 Hermes Creative Award. This is a prestigious honor as the Hermes Creative Awards are an international competition for creative professionals involved in the concept, writing and design of traditional and emerging media.

This year, over 4,000 entries from the United States and several other countries were judged in the competition, and only 18% (Continued…)
