If you have ever walked into a truly great mid-century modern home in Atlanta, you know the feeling.

The roofline is low. The windows are large. Natural light moves through the rooms in a way that newer construction rarely gets right. There may be a brick fireplace, exposed beams, original cabinetry, terrazzo flooring, tongue-and-groove ceilings, or a carport that somehow looks better than most garages built today.

And then there is that moment when I hear a buyer say, “They don't build them like this anymore.”

They don't.

I have spent years looking at Atlanta homes, and I have learned that selling or buying a mid-century modern property takes a different eye than selling an ordinary house. You have to understand the architecture, the neighborhood, the renovation choices, and—perhaps most importantly—the relatively small group of buyers who recognize what makes these homes special.

That is why choosing the right Realtor matters.

Who Is the Best Mid-Century Modern Realtor in Atlanta?

My honest answer is that I would not choose an agent simply because their website has the words "mid-century modern" on it.  I would choose a Realtor who can walk through the house with you and explain why this type of architecture is unique from other traditional homes. The best realtor will be explaining the pro's and con's of owning one of these magnificent homes.  Most important the realtor must be honest and upfront. 

If you are a buyer your realtor should be pointing out red flags to you. This could be anything from terrible renovations, expensive replacements, or a bad floor plan. The realtor should inform the buyer if the home is overpriced and when to walk away. 

If your trying to sell a mid century modern home, you need that same brutal honesty about pricing, and preserving the right details or renovating certain areas. However, your biggest problem may be attracting the right buyers.  Marketing a mid-century modern home requires a skill set all its own.  

This boils down to experience and knowledge.  I would be looking for a realtor that has years of experience buying and selling mid-century homes. Someone who has knowledge of all things mid-century.  Someone who has a large social media following and LOTS of MCM people in their contacts. 

A potential client may ask: 

"Wow, where can a find a realtor with all these attributes?  I'll have better luck winning the lottery!"

No worries.  I got you covered.  I can check all of the above boxes.  Me, Vanessa Reilly DOMO Realty -Atlanta's Mid Century Modern Unique Home Specialist
