DRA Homes & Dixon Realty Advisors was created to serve the real estate market in a new way. Our business model provides an answer to the Atlanta real estate market's demand for a cost-effective, reliable, principled approach to home buying, home selling & home finance.
If you are looking for the same old approach to real estate that has been the status quo for the last 50 years, we are not the company for you.
If you are looking for someone to put a sign in the yard and "hope" that your home sells, we are not the company for you.
If you are looking for someone to pretend along with you that only your home was excluded from the effects of the economy over the last 3 years, we are not the company for you.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR a trusted, responsible & empathetic STRAIGHT TALKING PROFESSIONAL to work tirelessly in your interests, then you are in the right place.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
In an effort to better serve the real estate consumer, DRA Homes made strategic desicisons about the structure of our organization. We knew that in order to provide quality service in a cost-effective way without sacrificing service we had to throw out the business model of the traditional big box brokerages.
The first step DRA Homes made was to align ourselves with an agent-centric brokerage that lowered the cost of agent affiliation. Quite simply by reducing the portion of fees paid to the BIG BOSS, DRA Homes is able to charge clients less without offering less service. SEE A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF THE COST TO THE AGENT
DRA Homes then elected to limit its membership in professional organizations. Instead of devoting a portion of our income each year to organizations that do not contribute to our client's success, we reduced membership expenses in order to pass those savings on to our clients.
Virtual Office Technology was implemented to further trim overhead. DRA Homes operates from a fully-equipped, functional virtual office. By eliminating the standard Brick & Mortar office space we save on rent, utilities, taxes, insurance, security, administrative salaries and other miscellaneous costs associated with traditional office space.
DRA Homes also adopted a LEANER & GREENER PHILOSOPHY of business operations. While the real estate industry remains paper-intensive, we have been able to control the amount of paper we consume by employing electronic document storage and paper recycling intiatives. Also, with the virtual office we reduce our carbon footprint by not heating & cooling a traditional 5000+ square foot commercial space. We use recycled material as often as possible, compact flourescent bulbs (once sunlight is not sufficient!), and refer clients to eco-friendly vendors!

By capitalizing on the wide range of internet real estate marketing outlets, DRA Homes is able to offer the same or better exposure to our seller clients when compared to the traditional brokerage. We also employ the largest real estate networking site, ACTIVE RAIN, to gain exposure to the professional community as well as 2 ACTIVE OUTSIDE BLOGS, DRA Homes Around Atlanta and Atlanta Flat Fee Listing
