The former executive’s dual role was split in two. 

DeAnn Golden replaces Dan Forsman, who was made chairman after helming the brokerage for almost 40 years. 

The new senior managing director will help guide the real estate firm’s investment-management expansion. 

The residential-brokerage franchisor announced a host of company-wide steps it is taking to grow its business. 

The incoming executive replaces Lee Arberg, who retired from the position after 25 years. 

The new agents will continue to serve clients at Sugar Land, Texas-based RE/MAX Fine Properties, while growing their business in Atlanta. 

The new executive previously served as senior vice president of Stream Realty Partners, where he helped oversee investment and development strategy at Centennial Yards South. 

The homebuilder’s former vice president first came to Avanta Residential in 2020 as a consultant.
