It was recently called to my attention that Ronald DeVoe of New Edition and BellBivDeVoe fame is now owner of his own brokerage in Atlanta. According to his website, “It has always been a dream of mine to own a Keller Williams/Century 21 style franchise and now I have the opportunity to do so with DeVoe Broker Associates.” He goes on to say, “I come from the projects of Boston, Massachusetts where many of my friends and family members were lifetime renters. Now it feels wonderful to know that I can deliver valuable information that will help my family and others make educated decisions about their financial future.”
As a HUGE fan of New Edition and BellBivDeVoe, I thought I would take this opportunity to give a shout out to Ronnie by sharing some of my favorite tunes from his past.New Edition burst onto the scene in 1983 and they were big enough to have Madonna as an opening act during their early days. In the early-mid 1980s, New Edition sold more records in the United States than any other teen singing group. Here is one of my favs, Cool It Now!
BellBivDevoe was HUGE in the early 90’s and back then Mr. DeVoe was not talking about flipping houses. He was talking about smackin and flippin booties. If you are not familiar with what I am talking about, check out this video:
I want to wish Ronnie the best of luck! If he is as successful in real estate as he was as an entertainer, he has good career ahead.
