The magazine is already mailed to high net worth Atlantans living in the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.Dac Carver, Vice President and Managing Broker for Beacham & Company, said the company’s investment in international distribution of The Beacham Series is the result of interest in the magazine from foreign buyers. For instance, at a recent showing of a Beacham & Company listing, an agent with another company and her buyer who is moving to Atlanta from overseas brought The Beacham Series with them and asked to see houses in the magazine, Carver said. “They were using The Beacham Series as their showing list,” Carver said. “Almost all of the homes they previewed that day were in our magazine.”Carver said international buyers still make up a very small part of the market in Atlanta, and they are usually making a work-related move.“Atlanta is not an international destination city yet, but we see an increasing number of international buyers who are looking to relocate here for business purposes,” Carver said. “That’s why having a magazine with international distribution is so important. We want them to be familiar with our properties before they get on a plane to Atlanta.”Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate is the largest international network of residential real estate brokerages in the world, representing more than 5,800 offices and 120,830 sales associates in the United States and 64 other countries.
