About Jimmy Jones
An Atlanta native, Jimmy Jones is a real estate professional, and entrepreneur, who has also interests in marketing/promotions and nightlife. Mostly known as “Sell Your Home Jimmy Jones,” he’s managed to sell millions of dollars in real estate in the metro Atlanta area and through his company Jones Captial Investments, LLC, Jimmy rehabs and develop houses, with the goal to completely “flip” the Decatur area of metro Atlanta. Additionally, Jimmy makes it a point to use his expertise to teach people how to buy, sell and invest in real estate.
A graduate of Florida A&M University and member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Jimmy started his entrepreneurial streak back in 2004 when he founded TonightAtlanta.com, Atlanta’s largest email marketing company for events, with over 80,000 plus email subscribes. Through TonightAtlanta.com he also develops and executes weekly, monthly and annual events with the attendance of thousands of guests.
In 2017, Jimmy developed a grassroots initiative #BeyondTheHolidays with Warren Technical School, a predominately African American special education school in Dekalb County with a focus on job placement for their students. The school has an immediate need for donations in the form of professional clothes, coats, belts, hygiene products and money to help the students. Later that year, Jimmy was appointed to the Board Of Directors for the Rickey Smiley Foundation.
