Leadership & Management Team

Tony A. Isbell

PRESIDENT

Tony Isbell, an Alabama native is a successful investor and entrepreneur. Mr. Isbell is founder and former CEO of RealtyBid.com, one of the first companies to sell homes online back in 1999. The company was a pioneer in the online bidding space for real estate. To date the company has marketed and sold over 100,000 homes nationally to buyers in at least 10 countries. Isbell sold the company to Chronos Solutions, LLC, a Dallas based real estate company in January 2015, to focus solely on the emerging single family rental market. Isbell cares so much about employees, RealtyBid was "One of the top 10 best companies to work for in the state of Alabama". We think that shows his commitment to his employees and his compassion in helping people each and every day.
