Fresh off the heels of being named once again the Top Workplace in Atlanta, Dorsey Alston, Realtors has added nearly a dozen agents to its team.

The smart growth reflects Atlanta’s oldest and largest locally-owned and operated real estate firm’s commitment to its agents. Dorsey Alston gives them unfettered access to its responsive brokers, who are among the sharpest and most experienced in Atlanta, a robust marketing platform and a market-leading benefits package.  

Since March, Lisa Smith, Fran Booth, Tina Maddox, Jenni Wilson, Catherine Young, Shellie Salazar, Virginia Hopkins, Hilary Young, Elena Ferro, Garrett Davis, Taylor Schwieger and Kate McKenzie have joined Dorsey Alston, Realtors. 

“We are humbled this outstanding and experienced group of agents has chosen to join Dorsey Alston,” said President Michael Rogers. “We pride ourselves on being a family, so it must be a fit both ways, from the agent to the company and vis-a-versa. All of these agents are culturally in sync with our company.”  

Dorsey Alston has more than 250 agents and has been the top office in Buckhead home sales for several years. Leadership forms the backbone of the company, with Rogers setting the culture and brokers Rip Sartain, Patrick Wood and Carson Matthews ensuring agents are fully supported and successful. 

“There is such a high level of comfort coming to Dorsey Alston, knowing Michael’s and the brokers’ sustained commitment to their agents,” said Catherine Young. “Having that support and knowing your company has your back no matter what makes a huge difference in today’s market.

This is the sixth year in a row Dorsey Alston, founded in 1947 by Roy Dorsey and Robert Alston, has been recognized as a Top Workplace by the AJC. The company has also been honored for its leadership, clued in senior management, training and communication by the South’s largest daily newspaper.  

Rogers’ father, Paul Rogers, acquired Dorsey Alston from the founders in 1985. Michael Rogers is just the third president and CEO in the company’s more than seven decades in business.
