ATLANTA -- September 5, 2007 -- The Housing Group, one of Atlanta's leading homebuilders, recently formed a partnership with Bo Bridgeport Brokers that goes far beyond the traditional builder/agent relationship. This alliance, along with the companies' top-quality services, has allowed both to remain profitable in an unpredictable housing market.

Bo Bridgeport Brokers, known primarily as an intown real estate agency, will not only handle sales of The Housing Group's intown communities, including Eastside Walk, Parkside Walk and Browns Mill Walk, but also will coordinate sales of the builder's Hampton, Ga. community, The Hamptons. Additionally, The Housing Group has charged Bo Bridgeport with enhancing its online presence, including online advertising, as well as identifying land in underserved areas for future Housing Group projects.

"Bo Bridgeport Brokers's approach is similar to ours -- a strong commitment to customer service, attention to detail and dedication to both emerging and established neighborhoods in metro-Atlanta," said Michael Ray, principal of The Housing Group. "This strategic alliance allows us to focus on our strengths -- building quality, semi-custom homes at a fair price."

With the sales expertise of Bo Bridgeport Brokers and The Housing Group's competitive business model that strives for less volume but the highest quality, The Housing Group is finding success even in the current volatile housing market. In fact, while many builders are struggling to unload their inventory, the Housing Group enjoyed record sales at its Eastside Walk community in July and August.

"More and more people are moving into the heart of Atlanta, and Eastside Walk offers them a private neighborhood with suburban amenities and the convenience of city life," said Benita Carswell, principal of Bo Bridgeport Brokers. "Eastside Walk has been successful in a continually softening market because The Housing Group builds smart and understands what intown customers want in a home," she added.
