Jimmy Carey
ABOUT
Jimmy Carey is Atlanta's Premier Restaurant Broker — a Business Broker and Commercial Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Commercial Metro Brokers who specializes exclusively in the restaurant and food & beverage industry. From business sales and going-concern transactions to tenant representation and landlord representation, Jimmy operates across every side of the deal — serving clients throughout Georgia with the depth of knowledge that only comes from decades inside the industry he now represents.
Where most brokers learn the restaurant business from the outside, Jimmy learned it from inside the kitchen. With 37 years of hands-on experience as a chef, concept creator, and multi-unit restaurant operator, he brings a level of industry fluency that no generalist broker can match. He understands food costs, lease structures, operator psychology, and the real reasons restaurants sell — because he has lived every one of them.
That expertise is what his clients hire him for. Whether he's taking a profitable going-concern to market, positioning an asset sale for maximum recovery, negotiating a lease for an incoming tenant, or advising a landlord on how to attract and retain the right food & beverage operator, Jimmy operates from a foundation of firsthand knowledge that makes every conversation more efficient and every deal better structured.
Jimmy works across the Atlanta metro and maintains a growing presence in the Savannah market. He serves both English and Spanish-speaking clients alongside his bilingual team, and holds memberships in the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and the Georgia Association of Business Brokers (GABB).
His operator background — which includes founding and scaling Jimmy'z Kitchen to five locations across Miami and Marietta, Georgia, earning recognition from Zagat, Eater Miami, and the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival — isn't a footnote. It's the credential that makes him uniquely qualified to represent the people who built something, and now need someone who truly understands what they built.
