Harry Norman, REALTORS® has decided to “amicably separate” from The Hester Group in what the company calls a strategic move. 

The decision aligns with Harry Norman’s “long-term business vision and core values, and reinforces its commitment to delivering exceptional luxury real estate service and expertise,” it said in an exclusive statement to Atlanta Agent. 

The Hester Group is a significant player in Atlanta real estate. Its East Cobb office has received Harry Norman’s No. 1 Mega Team award for several years running; last year, it won the top spot with over $628.2 million in sales. 

The Hester Group did not respond to requests for comment by press time. Harry Norman did not elaborate on the reason for the move, but said it expected the separation process to be brief, “with the ultimate goal of making it smooth for all.” 

“After careful consideration, Harry Norman, REALTORS® chose this path to prioritize a cohesive, focused and aligned future and one which reflects our strategic goals and core values,” President and CEO Jenny Bonura said in a statement. “We have enjoyed a productive partnership with The Hester Group and appreciate the contributions of … the Hester Group since joining our company in 2018 as a team of five.  

“This decision is driven by our unwavering commitment to excellence, and we believe it will enable us to better serve our clients and agents going forward.”
