About Hossana

Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to an architect and developer father and restaurant owner mother, I had the ideal foundation to be an entrepreneur. My journey to the US at 19 years old made me strong, compassionate, and dedicated to reaching my goals. After graduating from Georgia State University in 1998, I managed a large family-owned jewelry store for several years before pursuing an opportunity to open a successful restaurant. After running the restaurant for 10 years, I changed lanes and started buying distressed homes in Atlanta and Baltimore. I renovated and sold the homes with my aunt, who has always been devoted to helping me with my professional pursuits. Since then, it has been clear that my passion is real estate. Now, I help homeowners make the most out of their homes by helping them to get their spaces ready for market; and, I enjoy helping buyers find a home that fit their needs. Over the course of 20 years of running successful businesses, developing and modifying properties for these businesses, and flipping residential properties, I have taught myself the value of commitment and having an entrepreneurial spirit. As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you: Find Your Next Home You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home. Sell a Home When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close. Consult on Home Selling Tactics Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast. When I'm not working, I love gourmet cooking and hiking with my family.
