| Rick Schlosser is the Owner and Broker of Metrosouth Realty. A graduate of Northeastern University, Rick began working in real estate during college with The Codman Company in Boston, specializing in townhome sales, rentals, renovations and condominium conversion of properties in the Back Bay and Beacon Hill sections of Boston. Rick was joined by Jay Grossman at Codman in1973 and together they expanded the residential division to the suburban Boston area and eventually all of New England.
Noteworthy properties developed, built or managed by Schlosser and Grossman while at Codman are: Peabody Terrace in Brookline; The Hill on Beacon Hill and The Vendome in Back Bay, both in Boston; Coburn Woods in Nashua N.H.; Promenade East in Portland, Maine; The Village of Nagog Woods in Acton, Mass.and Franklin Park and Narragansett Village in Rhode Island.
Recruited by Mal Sherman on behalf of Equitable Life Assurance in 1977, Rick left Codman and moved to Atlanta to work as sales and marketing manager for Rivermont, an Equitable Life Assurance owned Country Club community in North Fulton County. Rick became project manager in 1979 and in 1981 when Rivermont was nearing completion, Rick was asked by Equitable to consider another of their projects, Peachtree City.
Attracted mostly by the vision and commitment of Peachtree City's Founding Fathers, Joel Cowan and Floy Farr, as well as the innovative and inflexible Land Use Plan they and others created for the entire City, Rick moved to Peachtree City in 1982, taking responsibility for sales and marketing for Peachtree City Marketing Group and Peachtree City Development Corp.(under the umbrella of Equitable ownership). |

That began an 11 year period during which Peachtree City attained national recognition for record setting growth, professional planning, excellence in governmental relations, and award winning marketing - all acknowledged at a national level
In 1993 - shortly before PCDC acquired the remaining undeveloped land from Equitable and well before PCDC formed Magnus Homes - Rick joined Eagle's Landing in Henry County as VP of Sales and Marketing - taking responsibility for commercial, industrial and residential sales and assisting J.T. Williams, his sons and their company, Killearn Properties in postioning the company or the undeveloped property for sale. That was accomplished in 1996.
Rick started Metro-South Realty Advisors, Inc., in 1994 - keeping Eagle's Landing as a client. The formation of Metro-South Realty Advisors, Inc. was at the request of a former PCDC surveyor and engineer, interested in entering the real estate business who asked for help with the Yusifiji tract on Redwine Road.
The first Metro-South project was the rezoning in 1994 of a 251 acre (Yusifiji) tract of undeveloped land on Redwine Road in Fayetteville - today the tract is known as Lakeside on Redwine (for details on this project and other rezonings accomplished by Metrosouth - go to Rezoning History).
Metrosouth Realty, Inc. was formed in June of 1999 to clarify the roles of each partner of Metro-South Realty Advisors (MRA). The surveyor and engineer is no longer active and Rick Schlosser is the sole owner and operator of the new company - Metrosouth Realty, Inc.
Currently the 73 acre tract at the corner of Walt Banks Road and State Highway 54 in Peachtree City is the focus of Metrosouth's activity. See more on LexingtonPark and Lexington Circle. |
