We are also very excited to see our new YouTube program, “What’s New Atlanta” honored so soon after its creation. It was developed as a platform for homebuyers to learn about communities often before construction has even begun. Typically, there is a VIP list potential homebuyers can join to stay informed about a particular community, or to keep abreast of all communities featured on the program.”

Presented each year by the GAHBA’s Sales and Marketing Council, the OBIE Awards began in 1980 to recognize outstanding achievement in the home building industry. Since then, the program has grown to include more than 100 building, remodeling, marketing, and personal achievement categories. Named after the obelisk shape of the award, the OBIE Awards are considered a premier award in the Atlanta home building industry.
