This group was formerly known as "Monthly Northern Atlanta Real Estate Meet Up/Mastermind" and ran by Jered Sturm. Vince Crane has recently stepped up to manage the group now that Mr. Sturm relocated with this family.
CLICK HERE for access to our closed Facebook group, also scroll to the bottom for additional information on the Facebook group.
The Meetup was originally created for the purpose of exchanging knowledge, offering value to other, share stories and make friends all while holding each other accountable to our individual goals. Although at times it might be hard to run a meetup of this scale without incurring costs, we've been able to bring you monthly value at no costs! You've all been to meetups that are focused on sales pitches. No worries, this monthly group is solely for the purpose of bringing you value from guest speakers, or speakers from the group who want to share their knowledge and network afterwards. There are NO sales pitches and NO fees to join.
As we grow, we'll be asking many of you for advice. One of the recent changes we'll be implementing to this group is the live Facebook video while our guest speaker is talking. The guest speaker usually talks for 30-45 minutes. The rest of the event is for networking. Now that we'll be at the new location, The Ivy in Buckhead, you'll have access to all the food and beverages before, during and after the event.
The Ivy has given us the top floor with our own waitstaff and bartenders. This doesn't mean you need to be sloshed, but by all means enjoy a drink and some dinner while networking with others! We'll have everything our speakers need for their presentations. Although the space is not as large as our previous location, there will be plenty of standing room and I believe a balcony. So come early for a comfortable seat.
The event will be held monthly, the last Wednesday of every month and currently at 7pm-9pm. Currently we have been given FREE Valet service for anyone in our event. PLEASE PLEASE still tip your valet member. Remember, this is mutually beneficial for The Ivy, so we must still take care of their people if we expect them to take care of us and allow us full access to their upstairs area monthly.
Please also join our Facebook Group to stay abreast of monthly meetups, guest speakers and the Facebook live video. I'm sure we've all listened to someone share an awesome idea or trick, then months later couldn't remember what the gold nugget was. Now you'll have your very own library via our Facebook group to go back and refresh your memory. Please CLICK HERE for the group. The group is closed, but request to be added. Any of your existing friends who are in the group can approve. So come on over!! See you all soon.

QUICK UPDATE (meeting a day earlier)
For this first meeting we were JUST notified of a change:
-Owners already had an event planned, so we have to push ours back a day. Tuesday the 24th, same time (future meeting are still the last Wednesday of each month) Change your calendar or reminder right now for the 24th..Seriously, change it now.
-Valet will be $3 Although we were originally told it would be free, I think they received a little push back. I'm sure once they see how many of us will come, this hopefully will change back to free. If you choose to park elsewhere, be mindful of where and do not get booted parking illegally.

I will certainly try to make it to there on the 24th! Question for y'all- I am doing my business, at least for now, in south ATL market. Is it still worthwhile for me and good for y'all for me to go? Thanks!
