The Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council congratulates Longo Homes Inc. for winning a Gold OBIE in the Best E-Marketing category for Best Interactive Tool. The OBIE awards are the highest honor given to Atlanta real estate.

Being a small builder of only 2-3 houses a year puts us in a tough position for this award when compared against the large builders. We feel we should win this award based on our success creating a social media tool that is not only professional with an appealing branded design but also a tool that reaches customers to build that familiarity and trust us. The execution of our plan over the past months and the subsequent results has proven to be and will continue to be a recipe for success in building our business and brand awareness. We hope the live site and the numbers speak for themselves.
