Atlanta Roofer, KTM Roofing, Celebrates 25 Years

This year marks KTM Roofing’s 25th anniversary as a roofing company in Atlanta. In that time, KTM has grown to become one of the leading roofers in metro Atlanta and throughout the state of Georgia. To celebrate its success, KTM is offering a discount to roofing projects performed through December 31, 2009.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 30, 2009 — In a year many small businesses want to forget, KTM Roofing of Atlanta wants to celebrate. An Atlanta roofer that has been raising roofing standards since 1984™ is experiencing a milestone in roofing this year as it celebrates 25 years in business. During that time this reliable roofing contractor has grown to include multiple roofing crews and employ dozens of master roofers.

Founded in 1984, the KTM Roofing of then is both similar and vastly different to the company of today.

Tim McLoughlin, President of KTM Roofing explains, "KTM has always been a family run company. We’ve built a successful small business from doing what is right by the customer and in return our customers have helped us grow through referrals." McLoughlin added, "Today KTM is recognized as one of the premier roofers in Atlanta. We have gotten there by systematically focusing on improving our technical abilities, keeping pace with industry trends and being dedicated to customer satisfaction."

A Reputation for being Master Roofers:
KTM has always been based in Atlanta. Its master Atlanta roofers have completed a wide variety of projects over the years. The company started off by focusing on installation of premier roofs using materials such as slate, tile and wood shakes — a niche not being addressed at the time. Throughout the years the company has expanded its focus to other materials including asphalt roof repair in Atlanta. In recent years the company has grown and has roofed a variety of historic roofs for municipalities, churches and golf courses, including the historic tile roof preservation project East Lake Golf Club in 2008.

McLoughlin said, "In my spare time I enjoy golfing. I was a surprised and flattered that the clubhouse addition, which features a new tile roof we installed for East Lake Golf Club made it into the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 video game."

Celebrate 25 years with KTM:
Visit ktmroofing.com to print out a $100 coupon for the cost of a new roof, including roof hail damage repair. This coupon can also be printed off upon reaching the confirmation page when you submit a request for a roof quote. Certain terms and conditions apply, including:

Mexico Real Estate Agency Beats Crisis, Expands Business Rapidly

Mexico investment real estate experts, Investment Properties Mexico, announced new plans for rapid expansion today, as the growth of their business continues to fly in the face of the economic crisis.

They said interest in the Mexico property market is booming as growing optimism about the economy has led many to realize that now is the time to invest in emerging market real estate.

Playa del Carmen, Q. Roo, Mexico (PRWEB) August 28, 2009 — Mexico investment real estate experts, Investment Properties Mexico, announced new plans for rapid expansion today, as the growth of their business continues to fly in the face of the economic crisis.

Gary Almedal, Broker at the Riviera Maya based realtors, said, "Interest in the Mexico property market is booming right now. Growing optimism about the economy has led many to realize that now is the time to invest in emerging market real estate, and Mexico tops the list."

Investment Properties Mexico plans for expansion include:

• Opening a new state-of-the art 2,500 square foot office in Playa del Carmen.
• Launching a new "high design" website and online advertising campaign.
• A major recruitment drive for up to 40 experienced new agents across Mexico.
• Relaunching their brand independently by leaving RE/MAX.

Despite the global economic crisis, Investment Properties Mexico have seen an increase of almost 200% in the number of enquiries about Mexico real estate since the beginning of 2009.

Focussing on unique real estate investment opportunities, they have beaten the economic downturn by attracting savvy real estate investors looking for high returns on investment.

Examples of top-selling Mexican real estate this year include land banking opportunities around the fast growing town of Tulum, Quintana Roo, and ocean homes in La Ventana, Baja California Sur.

The realtors thanked RE/MAX Mexico for their support in the past. They said the brand had served them well but now they had outgrown the limits of the franchise and could expand faster as a fully independent business.

Notes to Editors:

• Further details about the new office, website and recruitment campaign will be announced in due course.
• Investment Properties Mexico is an independently owned and operated real estate agency in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. They specialize in finding unique Mexico investment opportunities with an edge or some added value over and above price alone.
• The company previously held the franchise RE/MAX Investment Properties. They decided not to renew the contract when it expired to give more freedom to grow the business. Management and contact details for the company remain the same and the legal owner is still Grupo Inmobilario Almedal S.A de C.V. (RFC registration: GIA 080919P7A).
