DA: What is your favorite space in your house?
CS: My favorite room in my house is my “mullet room”— business in the front, party in the back. It included my radiology home workstation for on-call interpretation of imaging studies obtained at multiple Wellstar metro Atlanta hospitals. Additionally it houses my rather elaborate Breweriana, record album and stamp collections.
DA: Why did you become a Realtor?
LS: Forever, folks have said, “You should have your license! It’s so up your alley.”
DA: What is your favorite place to eat out?
KW: My current favorite place to eat in Atlanta, which we are new residents to Sandy Springs, is Rumi’s on Roswell Road. The food and service never disappoints. I recommend it to everyone who visits us or asks for restaurant advice.
DA: What is your favorite space in your home?
JE: Outside balcony. We live in a high rise in Buckhead with a wrap around porch and love sitting with friends and family and enjoying the sunrises and sunsets, planes coming into PDK and the overall beauty of the city.
DA: Where is your favorite place to eat in Atlanta?
KD: Rumi’s Kitchen is my favorite place to eat in Atlanta. The service, food, and atmosphere come together to provide an exceptional experience. This place is my go-to for celebratory meals and I can’t wait for the new location in Midtown to open.
DA: What is your favorite space in your home?
My favorite place in my home is our coffee to cocktails room. Our old neighbor from southern Mississippi pinned the name. It is the only room where there are no toys, no TV, no electronics, and it has the best morning and evening light. We have the bar set up in there and my husband and I enjoy our coffee there in the mornings and in the evenings we reward ourselves with an adult beverage.
Welcome everyone!
