HGTV stars Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson receive huge Atlanta honor

The HGTV power couple just accepted some high praises from the City of Atlanta.

Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jackson were honored in a special ceremony with elected representatives from Fulton County – the largest county in Georgia – with having a whole day officially named in their honor. Natalie Hall, a County Commissioner who represents the City of Atlanta, handed the “Married To Real Estate” stars a formal proclamation naming Aug. 23 “Egypt Sherrod & Mike Jackson Day” in Fulton County. Sherrod and Jackson received the honor for their impact on the local real estate community over the last decade.

Shortly after receiving the proclamation, Sherrod and Jackson both took to social media to share the exciting news. “Soooo a BIG THING happened to Mike and I today,” Sherrod wrote. “We were honored by Fulton County in the City of Atlanta with a Proclamation for being pillars in the real estate community. They actually declared today Egypt Sherrod & Mike Jackson Day!”

Jackson shared his excitement in an Instagram post as well. “A young man from Hempstead Long Island and young lady from Philly have a day in Fulton County GA dedicated to them,” he wrote. “To be recognized for just being you is a fulfilling feeling. Thank you to each and every person that has ever supported us since we’ve arrived to Atlanta.”

The couple has called Atlanta home for more than 10 years and have made it their mission to spotlight the real estate market. “We started multiple businesses and have filmed three tv shows here highlighting Atlanta real estate,” Sherrod wrote. “We are proud to call Atlanta home and were beyond proud to receive this honor in front of our girls.”
