2013 is shaping up to be a great year for the Atlanta Real Estate Forum. We have already broken news of three new builders coming to Atlanta, and from everything we have seen so far Atlanta home builders are gearing up for a banner year.  We thought it would be fun to take a moment to highlight some of the exciting things that occurred during 2012. We did a quick review of the site and thought it would be fun to share the stories with the most clicks in 2012.
