Tom Sims – Ackerman & Co. Brokerage
Tom Sims, who joined Ackerman a little more than a year ago, recently completed two major deals deserving of a congratulatory nod. The commercial real estate veteran sold almost 800 acres of land in the last two months.
Tom first sold two separate properties, totaling 135 acres, to the Lennar Corporation, one of the nation’s leading home builders. The sale, contingent on the City’s approval of a septic system, took several months to complete. The properties are located north of Atlanta, just off Arnold Mill Road.
The second deal, while transacted in just two short weeks, required special attention and branding. “Packaging the property so it could capture the beauty of the land was a challenge,” said Tom. “Thankfully our in-house marketing team did a fantastic job of marrying copy and visuals to produce a beautiful and very effective sales brochure,” he added. Selling this property required all hands on deck; Tom was out of town when he got “the” call. His quick-thinking assistant pulled the documents together allowing Tom to complete the deal remotely. The property fetched more than $2.3 million.
With more than 37 years of commercial real estate experience, Tom has participated in many notable transactions in the Atlanta area. He has the experience and knowledge in the acquisition and marketing of land for mixed-use developments, golf course residential communities, shopping centers, multi-family projects, hospital/medical developments and office-industrial sites.
