ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On June 23, 2000, Roberts Realty Investors, Inc. completed the sale of its Ivey
Brook community to Ivey Brook Apartments, Inc. for $14,550,000. Ivey Brook is a
146-unit apartment community located in Atlanta, Georgia. Net cash proceeds were
$7,256,000 after deducting:

     -    $6,190,000 for the mortgage note payable, which was assumed by the
          buyer;

     -    $378,000 for closing costs and prorations; and

     -    $726,000 for a partnership profits interest to Roberts Properties,
          Inc., a non-owned affiliate, under the terms of the agreement of
          limited partnership of Roberts Properties Residential, L.P., through
          which Roberts Realty conducts its business.

The purchaser is unaffiliated with Roberts Realty, and the transaction was
negotiated at arms-length. In negotiating the sales price, Roberts Realty
considered, among other factors:

     -    the Ivey Brook community's historical and anticipated cash flows;

     -    the condition and location of the community; and

     -    current market conditions.
