The Ben Kinney Team - Atlanta

Top Group Producer

"LEADERSHIP IS MODELING BEHAVIOR WHILE INSPIRING OTHERS TO BE THEIR VERY BEST. IT IS TRANSPARENCY, TRUTH, AND ACCOUNTABILITY."

Karen Smyth started her career in 2006 after working 10 years working for BellSouth International in Strategy and Marketing. She got married in 2006 and wanted a “flexible” schedule. As an immigrant from Lebanon, Karen Smyth has always valued hard work and focused results. She got her license the same year she left BellSouth, got married, and bought a house! The entire real estate industry was attractive - the ability to create dreams for people, to utilize her business skills, to negotiate, to interact with a diverse group of individuals. She began as an individual agent at Keller Williams Peachtree Road (where she remains after 14 years) and then grew her business following the Gary Keller “Millionaire Real Estate Agent” model. In 2017, Karen took her existing Top Atlanta Real Estate Team and merged and rebranded as The Ben Kinney Team Atlanta. Today, the Ben Kinney Team Atlanta has 20 licensed agents and 3 admins across two Metro Atlanta locations. They are a powerful group of individuals who have come together to become a family, contributing to each other as much as they do for clients. Their vision is to win every day in their personal lives and for their clients. The Ben Kinney Team serves to leave a legacy in each community.

How do you keep your team or yourself motivated despite conflicts and obstacles?

It has always been important to me to set clear and precise goals but also a vision of which to go towards. When you have conflicts or obstacles, and they will always come, you are reminded of how far you have come and where you are going. Being grateful and having a vision will keep you moving forward.
