ATLANTA—Since joining Multi Housing Advisors in the spring of 2007, Tyler Averitt has been instrumental in the sale of more than 25,000 units with an aggregate volume in excess of $600 million. He currently oversees the future development and growth of the team at MHA and their overall market share in the Atlanta MSA.

"Fundamentals are stronger than ever for the apartment market in the Southeast," Averitt tells GlobeSt.com. "Millennials graduating from college are leaning toward renting to avoid risk and maintain flexibility. Coupled with people who lost their homes in the downturn, demand for apartments is at an all-time high.

Hard work, dedication and a little luck are what Averitt feels are the most important things for someone to rise to the top of their peer group. His goals for the future of his career and the overall growth of MHA are to continue to grow the firm's market share in the Atlanta MSA by moving more into class B+ and class A space, while maintaining his team's notable market share in the C and B spaces.
