1964 - Business Focus Shifts

In 1964, DL and Florence’s youngest children, Tom Stokes Sr. and Mona (Stokes) LaVallee, take over the family business, at the time one of Atlanta’s most respected full service real estate services firms. The company offered real estate development and construction services in addition to brokerage, leasing and management, loan origination and servicing and insurance products. But still, they expanded their operation to include investment in income producing assets.
