American Land Mart, which has been an independent real estate company

handling the sales and marketing of numerous subdivisions in the East

Metro area, will remain at 889 Commerce Dr. (Suite A) in Conyers. Housworth,

who has been in real estate since 1978, incorporated American Land Mart

in 1986. He has been involved in real estate development for 14 years

in addition to operating American Land Mart. Coldwell Banker American

Land Mart will assume responsibility for ALM's present listings,

including the marketing of Housworth's developments. In addition

to continuing to develop subdivisions, Housworth will assist the new management

of ALM.

Housworth, who will keep his office in the Coldwell Banker American Land

Mart location, said he will continue having his real estate license with

Coldwell Banker ALM. "I want to keep working in land and commercial

real estate, as well as assist in the future growth of ALM through the

Coldwell Banker relationship," he noted.

Housworth said he decided to sell American Land Mart because "I

was 71 on Christmas Day, and I wanted to slow down somewhat and not have

the responsibility of a real estate brokerage on a day-to-day basis."

He added, "My health is good, and my wife's health is good,

and we also want more time to travel and enjoy family activities. We will

celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in April."

In selecting Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty as the purchaser of ALM,

Housworth said he was pleased with the way the Coldwell Banker organization

does things. "While they have assured me that they don't anticipate

making any drastic changes, both the overall Coldwell Banker network and

the Bullard organization have the expertise to make things go smoothly.

The association with Coldwell Banker will add more sales to the company

and will offer many additional services to the company, its agents and

its customers," he explained. "I expect the company to improve

and grow, and it will have the experience and the expanded services to

sell homes better and faster."

Rick Schlosser, who has been director of Coldwell Banker Bullard's

Builder Services Division, will be the broker both for the Coldwell Banker

American Land Mart office and for the Conyers/Rockdale County office of

Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty. He began his real estate career in Boston

more than 25 years ago, then came to the Atlanta area in 1977 as sales

and marketing manager for Rivermont, an Equitable Life Assurance-owned

country club community in North Fulton County. More recently, he has headed

sales and marketing for Peachtree City Marketing Group and Peachtree City

Development Corp., working in the Peachtree City market for 11 years,

and he served as vice president of sales and marketing for Eagle's

Landing Country Club in Henry County.
