Harry Norman, REALTORS®, Atlanta and greater Georgia’s foremost luxury real estate firm, is proud to announce that 2025 marks 95 years of real estate excellence for the company. Founded in 1930, Harry Norman, REALTORS® was Atlanta’s first residential real estate firm, and has maintained its position as the leading resource for home buyers, sellers, and agents for 95 years now.

Harry Norman, REALTORS® was founded by Emmaline “Miss Emmie” Harrison Norman, who initially entered the real estate business when she and her husband were encouraged to sell the home they had been building in Atlanta’s Garden Hills neighborhood after the stock market crash of 1929. Miss Emmie and her husband, Harry Norman, Sr., were unable to find residential representation that truly focused on customer service, so in 1930, she acquired her business license from Atlanta City Hall for $5 and sought to provide the type of service she was looking for. Miss Emmie then listed and sold her home for a profit, marking the first sale for her business, Mrs. Harry Norman & Associates. Under the leadership of Miss Emmie and her successors, the firm flourished and expanded, becoming the Atlanta real estate powerhouse that Harry Norman, REALTORS® is known as today.

“95 years is an incredible milestone to reach, and we are honored to have served Atlanta and greater Georgia over for more than nine decades,” said Jenni Bonura, President and CEO of Harry Norman, REALTORS®. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team members, both past and present.
