Dorsey Alston welcomed more than 20 agents over the last year.
They include industry veterans and agents just starting out, business owners, technology executives, marketing gurus and teachers.
We are thrilled they choose to join our family.
In order to get to know them, we asked them a few questions, like their favorite room in their homes, their favorite places eat and their favorite quotes.
Here is a little about them along with their answers.
CeCe Coleman has called Atlanta home since 1994 and has spent most of that time as an active resident of Chastain Park. She has also lived in Sandy Springs, Buckhead and Virginia Highland.
What is your favorite space in your home?
“It sounds cliche, but the kitchen is my favorite place because it’s where everyone seems to congregate. With three busy teenagers, there is always someone prepping a snack or extra meal and it’s a great time to catch up with them.

“My favorite quote is actually from a letter that my grandmother wrote to us. We found it after she passed away, and it perfectly captures who she was and what I strive for in life.
“I wish for each of you a good life — a sense of humor, a deep appreciation for the simple things of life, an innate honesty, a generous spirit, a humility with dignity, many good and true friends, and the ability to discern and choose that which is important in life and that which is superfluous.”
“I can’t pick just one! I could write an entire blog post about food in Atlanta but here are some of my favorites:
Mexican: Agavero West Midtown and Superica
Thai: Little Bangkok and Nan
Italian: Storico Fresco and Forza Storico
Spanish Tapas: Iberian Pig
Sushi: Fudo
Date Night: Blue Ridge Grill and Bones”

My screened-in porch! It’s peaceful and very inviting. Lots of great conversations have happened on that porch!
“I’ve grown up going to the beach in coastal Georgia — it’s probably my favorite getaway still to this day! Whenever my husband and I get a chance, we love to drive down there for a long weekend and enjoy the beaches. In the winter, our favorite go-to location is Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, N.C. It’s a short drive from Atlanta to this cozy and historic hotel — plus it has great food!”

“I love meeting new people, making connections and figuring out what they are looking for to start their next chapter in life and then trying to make that dream a reality. My hope is that I can provide my buyers and sellers with a stress free and even fun attitude to what can be a stressful life decision.”

As a seasoned business owner, Chris Torres has been a part of Atlanta’s creative community for 15-plus years. His ability to see the details that make a property stand out, and understanding the needs of his clients help him determine the best way to market and care for his clients.
What is your focus in terms of residential real estate?
“I love the northwest side of Atlanta heading toward Midtown. There is rich history in the train lines near these areas that caused the development of the homes for those working or providing work in the city. I have experience with new construction and families growing into their next home.”

“Our front porch. We sit there a lot and get to talk to all of our neighbors as they walk by. I just love it.”

“I was in my 25th year of my career in education (from high school Spanish teacher, to guidance counselor, to school administrator) and I decided to retire early. My sister, Barbara Reichick was always encouraging me to help her in real estate. Once I retired, I did just that, I first started doing what I loved so much….helping her stage & decorate homes in preparation of listing, I also helped her organize her caravans, and open houses. In the throes of COVID, I decided it was time to get my license!”
My favorite place to eat in Atlanta is El Azteca in Buckhead. I love the casual atmosphere, the friendly staff who know your name, the front and back patios to enjoy the spring and fall weather, always running into friends and neighbors there….and of course, their tasty margaritas!
