From Our Leadership My passion has and always will be about helping others. I take such pride in seeing others succeed past their wildest dreams and soar higher than they ever could have imagined. I have found that it can be as simple as asking, "how are you doing" and really meaning it and listening to the answer. I believe that pouring into others is the most honorable part of my day and I wake up each day energized to do just that. My Mom and Dad taught me at a young age to never assume I know the path someone is walking. Asking questions, listening intently, and understanding when to lend a shoulder to cry on or celebrate a win is what makes me happy.
“The effect you have on others is the most important

Team Leader
Hello KWPR family! I am so excited to be a part of celebrating you each and every day. I can truly say our office and culture has the "magic." Being in an environment of growth, where others inspire you to be better, gives you the belief to achieve anything! Remember mindset is key to your success! When you visualize your goals you are more likely to achieve them. Your leadership team believes in you!

Business Coaching with Dori Hicks
The Power Of Transformation Featuring Kenya Green "Keller Williams Peachtree Road has everything I need."
Kenya Green has been an agent at Keller Williams Peachtree Road for 9 years and is still moving strongly in her career. She constantly works to improve her business and provide the best service to her clients. Through the coaching program with Dori Hicks, Kenya continues to excel in her service to her clients, which lands her consistently in our Top Producers Club. Atlanta has been her home since the summer of 1997. Kenya began her career as a Kindergarten
teacher
in
Cobb
County.
While
she
truly
enjoyed
her
time
teaching for over 10 years with great success as a teacher, she decided it was time to make a career move into real estate. After attaining her real estate license in 2006, she knew her teaching background would benefit her in real estate. She realized it was simply her job to teach her clients about the real estate market. Kenya strives to become the resource for her clients so
that
they
can
have
the
opportunity
to
make
the
best
and
informed
decisions to achieve their real estate goals.
Check out our video below and hear from our Culture Icon Kenya Green why she gets excited about the culture at KW Peachtree Road.

Terrance Mayo is the owner of the Mayo Realty Group. He is a Georgia native and in real estate since 2013. His extensive experience in the golf course
management
field
has
afforded
him
the
opportunity
to
collaborate with city governments, private owners and understand the importance of customer service. Terrance works with both buyers and sellers in the Metro Atlanta area and is committed to the highest quality of customer service throughout the process. He is focused on helping them achieve their goals in buying, selling, or investing in real estate as efficiently and effectively as possible. His goal is to build lifelong trust and family relationships that grow with each and every client he meets.
We Grow Leaders Top Team Producer
The Martin Home Group Brenda started selling in 1987 followed by Mike in 1989. Brenda's background was in advertising and Mike's in accounting, which over the years has helped in marketing and in analyzing numbers and in appraisals! Stephanie Martin Fanning joined the team shortly after college and manages their office including keeping the paperwork organized and timely and their social media and all our marketing.
Who do you look up to for inspiration or mentorship? Training wasn't really big when we started so our broker at Re/Max of Buckhead, Norval Biggs inspired us with his class and work ethic. More recently Robben Mathews and KW Peachtree Road was a class act with so much encouragement and wisdom.
How do you keep your team or yourself motivated despite conflicts and obstacles? We love our job which is ever-changing and challenges us on every transaction. Positive energy and outlook help us get through the difficult ones!
What are your current goals? To help as many people as possible the right way without changing our work values. We don't try to set number goals and for 33 years that has worked for us.
What one thing makes you most proud? The way we work together and provide above and beyond service so have repeat and referral business on a consistent basis.
How do you continue to grow and develop as a leader? Learning from each client, each customer, each transaction to keep up with changes in the market and in the industry.
What advice can you give someone who is new and just getting started? Use Keller Williams' extensive training opportunities and agents willing to help you to jump-start your career vs learning at a slower pace yourself. Learn the best practices by tried and true experiences!
