Today we’d like to introduce you to Charlene Thompson.
Hi Charlene, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’m originally from the beautiful island of Jamaica, where I learned the value of hard work and community from an early age. When I moved to the United States, I was determined to build something meaningful, not just for myself, but for my family and others chasing their own version of the American dream.
I started in real estate with no connections, just passion, consistency, and faith. Over the years, through dedication and learning the power of marketing and relationships, I’ve sold over $80 million in real estate across the Atlanta area. Today, I’m not only a top-producing Realtor but also an investor, property manager, and entrepreneur. My mission is to help others create generational wealth through homeownership, just like I did.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. When I started, I didn’t have a big network or a mentor to guide me. I had to figure out everything through trial and error from marketing and negotiating deals to managing multiple businesses at once. Being a young woman, an immigrant, and a mother also meant I had to balance a lot of responsibilities while proving myself in an industry that can be tough to break into.
There were moments of doubt, deals that fell through, and times I had to rebuild from scratch. But every challenge taught me something valuable. I learned resilience, discipline, and the importance of believing in yourself even when no one else sees the vision. Those struggles shaped the businesswoman and Realtor I am today.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Charlene Thompson Real Estate ?
My business is built around helping people achieve homeownership and creating generational wealth through real estate. As a Realtor based in Atlanta, I’ve helped hundreds of families find their dream homes and guided many others in building investment portfolios that create long-term stability. I specialize in residential sales, new construction, and investment properties but what truly sets me apart is how I combine strategy, marketing, and genuine care for my clients.
Beyond sales, I also run CT Asset Management, where we focus on property management and helping investors earn consistent residual income. I’m known for being hands-on, creative, and results-driven, whether that means negotiating top dollar for a seller, helping a first-time buyer overcome credit challenges, or working with developers to bring new communities to life.
Brand-wise, I’m proud that my name represents excellence, authenticity, and opportunity. I want readers to know that real estate isn’t just about buying and selling homes, it’s about transformation, legacy, and financial freedom. My mission is to show others that with the right mindset and consistency, anything is possible.
What’s next?
Looking ahead, I’m focused on expanding both my real estate and investment footprint. I plan to continue developing properties and building more passive income streams through CT Asset Management. I’m also working on a real estate book that shares my journey and strategies to help others succeed in this industry.
Beyond business, I want to keep inspiring and educating, especially young professionals and single parents showing them that with consistency and faith, they can build wealth and freedom through real estate. I’m also looking forward to growing my restaurant, Spice & Riddim, into a well-known cultural and culinary destination here in Atlanta.
Big picture, my goal is to keep scaling, creating opportunities for others, and leaving a legacy that extends far beyond real estate.
