Lifetime Metro Atlanta Resident
John Limbach is the Team Lead of Alpha Property Group at HomeSmart in Roswell, Georgia — a top-producing team with 171+ closed sales and over $68 million in total volume across the metro Atlanta market. With a BBA in Finance from Georgia State University's J. Mack Robinson College of Business and a Certificate of International Business, John brings an investment-grade analytical approach to every transaction, whether he's guiding first-time homebuyers or structuring complex commercial deals.
John's career in real estate spans the full spectrum of the industry. Before founding Alpha Property Group, he served as a Commercial Associate at PHP Commercial, where he specialized in bank-owned properties, residential land, multi-family units, retail spaces, mixed-use developments, office spaces, and adaptive re-use properties. That commercial portfolio management experience gives him an analytical edge that most residential agents simply don't have — he evaluates every property through a financial lens, whether it's a starter home or an investment portfolio play.
He joined PalmerHouse Properties & Associates in August 2013 and quickly established himself in commercial transactions involving investment properties and land speculation. From there, he built Alpha Property Group into a full-service team handling residential, new construction, commercial, and land representation across the greater metro Atlanta area. The group was formally incorporated in December 2020 and now operates out of HomeSmart's Roswell office at 10900 Crabapple Road.
What sets John apart is his rare combination of formal finance education and hands-on real estate experience — from single-family residential construction to commercial investment portfolio management. He's an active member of the Urban Land Institute, the Atlanta Commercial Board of REALTORS®, the U.S. Green Building Council, the Young Council of REALTORS®, and the 400 North Board of REALTORS®. He also holds continuing education credits from the University of Georgia, Center for Continuing Education.
How John's background in bank-owned properties, multi-family, and commercial portfolio management shapes his approach to residential real estate — and why agents who understand both sides of the business have a competitive advantage.

How metro Atlanta's commercial landscape is evolving through adaptive re-use projects — converting office, retail, and industrial spaces into residential, mixed-use, and community developments. Opportunities agents should be watching.
The quantitative skills that a finance degree brings to real estate — investment analysis, risk assessment, cash flow modeling, and the ability to help clients see beyond emotion and into the numbers that drive smart decisions.
Why every buyer purchasing new construction needs their own agent — builder contract traps, negotiating upgrades, construction timelines, and the inspection milestones most buyers miss. What John's residential construction background taught him.

John recently sold our condo in Midtown Atlanta after we relocated to Florida. Despite being over 500 miles away, he was always available to answer questions and kept us continually updated on the listing status.
John handled both selling our home and buying a new home simultaneously. His communication about every detail was wonderful, and he demonstrated remarkable knowledge of the housing market throughout the entire process.
