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

WHAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT RISK YOU TOOK AND WHY? Relocating from NY to Atlanta. We did it because we saw it as an opportunity to improve our future. We left behind all of our
family.
However
in
the
years
since,
most of our family followed us here. My mother,
2
brothers
and
their
wives
and
children, and a cousin and his family, all live in Atlanta. We still have many other relatives in the NY/NJ area and we visit with them regularly.

Joel Klein
Joel has worked in real estate for over 45 years. He started working for REIT on Wall Street in the 1970's. Then he worked for 3 insurance companies in acquisitions and asset management roles, and also corporate real estate. Joel worked on all types of projects throughout the Southeast, traveling extensively. One of those companies relocated him to Atlanta in 1984 where he ran his own office and had over a dozen employees. One of the more well-known projects he worked on is the Atlanta Financial Center, which is the office complex that sits atop GA 400 in Buckhead. In 2009, he left the corporate world and started doing commercial brokerage.
Who do you look up to for inspiration or mentorship? My 91 year old mother. I speak with her at least once each day. She got married at 18 and had me at 19. I grew up in "the projects" of East NY (Brooklyn) in a rough neighborhood. She, and my late father, made huge sacrifices for me, and my 2 younger brothers, so I could be the person I am today. I didn't always agree with her, but she was always right. And I still learn from her to this very day.
How do you keep your team or yourself motivated despite conflicts and obstacles? I look at my wife of 42 years, my 2 married daughters, their husbands, and my 4 grandsons, and that motivates me. My wife and I, are very close with our children and grandchildren. We always try to set an example for them. We cannot do that if we can't get up in the morning and feel motivated ourselves.

Jennifer has been active in the Atlanta residential real estate market since 1990. She has been with Keller Williams Realty since 1999 as one of the charter members of the first Sandy Springs office. She has been instrumental in opening 12 Keller Williams offices in Metro Atlanta and Birmingham, Alabama. Dawn has been active in Atlanta real estate since 2001. She joined Keller Williams Realty shortly after they opened their doors in the Atlanta area and helped open the Brookhaven office in 2003. Dawn has served on the Agent Leadership Council in her office for several years. Even after more than 20 years, the ladies still love “the thrill of the chase”, “the art of the deal” and those “little chill bumps you get when you know it’s the perfect house”. They love helping clients move to the next stage of their life, create personal wealth and making purposeful life decisions as it relates to their family’s future.
