Dealer’s Choice

Thirty-five years without a paycheck? As an entrepreneur, I cast aside the assurance of 40-hour work weeks, and left the safe cover of tenure and security.

One of my challenges as the founder of Massell Commercial Real Estate is to ensure my agents and family members who work for the company are successful and connected to our community.

One of my most enjoyable community service roles was serving on the Honorary Board of Visitors at Emory University.

Prior to plunging into the world of commercial real estate, I worked for nine years in the family travel business.

I use the no Wi-Fi thing as an excuse not to work on a plane.

Roll Green Wave! Tulane’s upset victory in the Cotton Bowl over Southern Cal (a much larger school), was similar to the underdog win by TCU over daunting Michigan.

My Mom and her parents were from the small town of Hogansville, GA (population around 3,000 for decades).

Growing up as the son of a mayor of Atlanta was quite a unique experience.

I’ve been thankful to have a career spanning 35 years in CRE, serving hundreds of clients, many of whom have become close friends.

Persistence often wears down resistance, and that’s how I came to sell a contaminated dry cleaning facility.
