New Northlake office boasts 13,000 square feet  

The new Northlake office has opened, completing the first part of a triple office opening that will finish the year with a homerun for Metro Brokers/GMAC Real Estate.

The Northlake office, located on LaVista Road in the Northlake Festival Shopping Center, is now the largest Metro Brokers office with more than 13,000 square feet. It replaces the Tucker office, which was the first satellite office ever opened by Metro Brokers.

Located right off of I-285, the Northlake Festival Shopping Center is home to several large retail stores including Toys R’ Us, Bally Fitness, PetSmart, School Box and Haverty’s Furniture.

Kevin Levent, President and CEO of Metro Brokers, has carried the contemporary decorating style commonplace in all of Metro Brokers’ newer offices through to the Northlake office. Multi-colored floor tiles set off a bright reception area with three pumpkin color leather couches, three colorful chairs, glass and chrome tables, contemporary wall art, and matching wallpaper and curtains.

Clients are greeted by office managers at a 20 foot long reception desk. A textured glass block wall separates the bullpen area, yet keeps the office open and inviting. Contributing to the overall effect, high ceilings show off exposed ductwork and black roof elements. Halogen lighting illuminates desks, but creates a warm glow rather than a harsh office environment.

Sales associates have access to three viewing rooms, two “zone booths” for calling clients in privacy, a large kitchen and coffee bar, three over-sized conference rooms, 19 private offices, two offices for loan officers, 23 workstations in the bullpen and much more.

“I just love the contemporary style of the new office,” says Violet Marinova of the Northlake office. “The furniture, artwork, exposed ceiling…really everything is so unique and creates a lot of energy in the office. It makes a great first impression. My clients say ‘Wow!’ when they enter the office. And if I’m not in my private office or meeting with clients, I can enjoy the coffee bar.”

The office also includes a biometric security system, which provides access to the office after hours via finger readers from two separate entrances – one to the main office and the other to two classrooms for students.

The two classrooms will host continuing education and pre-license courses for the Metro Brokers/GMAC Real Estate Academy. The classroom has a separate break room so sales associates don’t need to share their refrigerator with students.

Two more offices remain for Levent to open this year: Paulding County and Hamilton Mill. The Paulding County office is located at the intersection of Highway 278 and Cleburne Parkway and will be the next office to open. The Hamilton Mill office, located at the corner of Sardis Church and Hamilton Mill Roads, is in the construction stage and scheduled to open in December.
