Wells Real Estate Funds Again NamedOne of Atlanta’s “Best Places to Work”

 NORCROSS, GA. (Oct. 7, 2010) – Wells Real Estate Funds has been named again as one of Atlanta’s “Best Places to Work” by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. It’s the company’s sixth appearance in the newspaper’s prestigious annual rankings, and its fourth in a row.

From over 400 companies nominated, Wells was ranked seventh among midsize companies (those with 101 to 500 employees).

Wells, a national real estate investment company based in suburban Norcross, employs 361 people nationwide, 318 of those in metro Atlanta.

“We’ve been recognized in these rankings a number of times, but it is always an honor,” said Leo Wells (top right photo), founder and president of Wells Real Estate Funds. “I believe it’s a credit to our people that they’ve created such a great environment in which to work.”

 The rankings are based on an independent third-party survey of employees, under the auspices of the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Wells Real Estate Funds has been recognized nationally for its outstanding benefits programs, including a 2006 award as one of The Principal® 10 Best Companies for Employee Financial Security.
