Introducing....Carmen Coe!

We are excited to announce that we have a brand new team member, Carmen Coe! Carmen will be working specifically in Midtown/Virginia Highlands area, where she lives with her family.

Carmen & her husband bought a 96-year old home in Midtown and remodeled it to fit their family of 6 while still maintaining the home's original character. She has an eye for design and deep appreciation for all things restored. (But new things inspired by old things makes her happy too!) She loves helping other people do the same.

Get to know Carmen by reading her full bio here and more fun facts below.

MEET: C A R M E N C O E

What is your favorite restaurant in Atlanta? That's a tough one. Probably Marcel but that's a splurge. My go-to would be Antico Pizza.
Favorite thing to do on a Saturday? Make pancakes with the family, college football with a win, and date night with the hubs!
What are you most excited about for the city of Atlanta? I'm excited about the new industries and growing businesses in Atlanta. It's bringing creative, diverse thinkers together to build and promote vibrant neighborhoods that allow it's residents to thrive! (And I also love it when the Hawks, Falcons & Braves are winning!)
One thing most people might not know about you? While living in NYC, I went to church with a casting director who got me on as an extra for Law & Order: SVU. Big-time stuff! I think I got paid $8.

Welcome to J.Rich Atlanta, Carmen!!
