Thinking About a Real Estate Career? Justin Landis Group Is Hiring Atlanta Agents Right Now.

May 15, 2026 4 min read Careers · Real Estate · Atlanta

When Kristin from The Kristin Show on Q99.7 asked Justin Landis why he wouldn't deter people from becoming a real estate agent, his answer was simple: because it has changed his life — and the lives of the agents on his team. Right now, Justin Landis Group is actively looking to bring on a couple more agents in Atlanta.

Real estate is one of the rare careers where freedom and autonomy aren't talking points — they're built into the job. You decide who you work with, how you grow, and how high you climb. If you've been quietly wondering whether real estate could be for you, this week's conversation is for you.

Why Justin Won't Talk Anyone Out of Real Estate

Justin made it clear on air — he's not deterring anyone from this industry. He's seen it transform lives, including his own. If you like freedom, autonomy, and the ability to go out and make it happen, real estate rewards that kind of person. There's no cap on what's possible, no ceiling beyond the one you set yourself.

That's part of why JLG has spent more than a decade building a team people actually want to work on. Since 2013, the team has grown to more than 50 agents across Metro Atlanta, with a training program designed to help new and experienced agents alike find their footing fast — and grow from there.

"I've seen it change a lot of people's lives, and I would love to do that for some more."

— Justin Landis, CEO & Founder, Justin Landis Group

The #1 Quality of a Successful Real Estate Agent

Kristin asked Justin the question every aspiring agent wants answered: what's the single most important quality for success in this business? His answer didn't take a beat.

You have to be proactive. If you're the type of person who wants to make things happen — who picks up the phone, follows up, takes initiative — then real estate is an industry where you literally can. Proactive agents create their own opportunities. They don't wait for leads to land in their inbox. They don't sit back and hope. They go.

What Proactive Looks Like in Real Estate

  • You return calls and texts the same day — not three days later
  • You build relationships before you need them, not after
  • You learn the market deeply enough to advise, not just react
  • You take ownership of your business instead of waiting for permission
  • You see a "no" as information, not as a verdict

Who JLG Is Looking For Right Now

Justin specifically mentioned JLG is bringing on a couple more great people — both aspiring agents who've been thinking about getting their license, and existing agents looking for a different kind of opportunity. The team takes leads from listeners of The Kristin Show and from clients across Atlanta, and they want to make sure those clients are taken care of by exceptional agents.

What does JLG offer that other Atlanta brokerages don't? A few things that consistently come up from agents on the team:

  • World-class training and mentorship — built around the same standards Justin used to grow JLG into Atlanta's highest-rated team
  • Lead support and a proven system — no cold-calling from scratch, no figuring it out alone
  • A culture that puts people first — agents, clients, and the communities you serve
  • A B-Corp brokerage — every transaction contributes to housing solutions for Atlanta's unhoused population through Bolst Real Estate

The team is part of Bolst Real Estate, Atlanta's only Certified B Corporation brokerage, which means purpose is built into the business itself — not bolted on as a marketing line.

How to Start a Real Estate Career in Atlanta

If you've never sold real estate before, you'll need to complete Georgia's pre-license education, pass the state exam, and align with a sponsoring brokerage. From there, the work really starts — and that's where having a team behind you changes everything.

Agents who join a team like JLG generally ramp faster, earn more in their first 18 months, and avoid the most common new-agent mistakes (working without a system, underpricing themselves, burning out). If you're already licensed and feeling stuck at a brokerage that isn't growing your business, the conversation is the same: come talk to us.

What Comes Next

Whether you're a brand-new agent, an experienced one ready for a change, or just someone curious about whether this industry could be your next chapter — the door is open. Reach out through our careers page and we'll start the conversation.
