2.) Add links at the bottom of your pictures. If you are a Realtor..this is a great place to get consumers excited about the type of condos or homes you sell and should be any easy transition over to your web site.

Atlanta Short Sales for Sale

Finally! The most popular Atlanta listing service FMLS has added “Short Sale” as options for a Realtor to click off when inputting a home or condo for sale in the system.

That is great news….now they currently offer the following options “lender owned”, “estate owned”, “foreclosure”, “owner transferred” and “fixer upper”. I love the fact that Short sale was added. Now buyers have the opportunity to negotiate with banks pre foreclosure! Here is the Wikipidia definition of a Short Sale just incase you are not hip to this newer term.

short sale: In real estate, a short sale is a sale of real estate in which the proceeds from the sale fall short of the balance owed on a loan secured by the property sold. In a short sale, the bank or mortgage lender agrees to discount a loan balance due to an economic or financial hardship on the part of the mortgagor.

Atlanta Short Sales come in All shapes in sizes…Lofts, Highrises, Mansions…you name it…and we are well prepared to help you.

If you have any questions about Atlanta short sales for sale please feel free to contact us. We have seasoned agents that have dealt with many special situations like Short sales and Atlanta Foreclosures.

All About Blogs!

Everyone loves our Atlanta Real Estate Blog!

Since my Atlanta Real Estate Blog has been one of the Top Atlanta Real Estate Blogs for a while now, I thought I would put together a blog of some of the Nation’s top Real Estate Blogs. Over the past couple of years some of my blogs posts have focused on Lofts, Condos, Foreclosures, and Atlanta Mansions.

Some of the most popular blogs in the country focus on the National housing crisis, like Nation’s Housing Panic, Housing Bubble, and Housing Doom.

Other interesting blogs that are out in cyberspace are focused on Real Estate Investing. A few great examples of Real Estate investing blogs are Real Estate Investing, Buying or Selling a Home, and Housing Derivatives.

If you are interested in researching all different types of blogs, I have found that blogflux and Blogstoplist are two of my top favorite.

One blog that is very popular with Real Estate agents across the country is Active Rain. Be sure and check it out, but be prepared and have the kids leave the room…there are many frustrated Realtors venting about the current Real Estate market

If you would like to go and build your own blog, I would recommend Blogger and Wordpress (who I use).

If you have ever wondered what the definition of a blog is?? You might learn something new…follow this link! BLOG

Oh, and on a side note. If you have not had a chance to check out our newest Nashville homes site....Now is a great chance!

Atlanta Townhomes

Ian Marshall (Ian Marshall Realty) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 10:03:38 -0800

Atlanta Townhomes

Owning an Atlanta townhome can be a blessing and curse. It is imperative to make sure that you purchase right by getting the best deal possible on the front end and making sure that the Townhome is in the ideal location in the complex. In the past 5-7 years there have been too many townhome communities built in Atlanta. The supply has currently exceeded the demand. This does not mean that you cannot make a profit after you purchase. It just means you need to be extremely picky about where you purchase and what price you pay.

One point I like to make while working with clients looking for townhomes, is that you are purchasing a lifestyle when you buy an Atlanta Condo. No more yards to mow! Townhomes offer lower maintenance and more conveniences than homes. Townhome communities in Atlanta also provide residents with amenities like pools, fitness centers, and tennis courts.

I would also like to introduce my new townhome site. There are very few places on the web that allow you to search Atlanta townhomes by community. For instance, if you are looking for a townhome in Dunwoody. All you have to do is click the Dunwoody Townhomes button. How easy is that! I am excited about this site because there are so many great townhome communities out there that are very difficult to find in your traditional real estate searchs on the majority of sites out there. So go and check out the site, let me know what you think. And as usual feel free to contact us we can assist you in any way possible!

Atlanta Foreclosures | Hot Atlanta Foreclosure Neighborhoods

Ian Marshall (Ian Marshall Realty) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 21:38:16 -0800

Foreclosure Myths and Hot Foreclosure Neighborhoods

A few myths about Atlanta Foreclosures….

1.) banks are not negotiable.
This is false…Most banks holding these properties are public companies and have shareholders to answer to. These properties need to be sold and moved off the banks books…Don’t be afraid to make an offer. You never know how that banks asset manager is feeling that day.
2.) Foreclosures are in terrible shape.
Not always. I have been in many foreclosure properties that are super clean, move in ready and nicer than regular listings I have through.
3.) You cannot inspect a foreclosure property if you buy it.
This is incorrect. The majority of the time you can inspect a bank owned or short sale property but on the flip side the majority of the time the bank will not repair any of the items that you have found defective.

Atlanta Foreclosures are currently some of the best bargains out there…They are not always in bad shape and because of the current owners financial or personal hardships or the banks wiliness to liquidate the property, most of the time you are getting a fantastic deal. Our team consist of intown Atlanta experts as well as an investment agent that dedicates 100% of his time to foreclosures, short sales, wholesale properties and staying abreast of current market conditions.

Breakwater Subdivision

Sandy Springs homes and Sandy Springs Condos

Breakwater....what a wonderful Subdivision and the perfect location. Breakwater is just a hope skip and a jump away from Sandy Springs, Marietta and Roswell! homes in Breakwater have sold for the low 400's all the way up to the middle millions If I wanted to be the listing agent and Make myself the Neighborhood agent for Breakwater I would build many free web sites like this one to build a web presence just in-case a smart consumer OR a seller in the subdivision followed the law of numbers and did research on the worlds wide web.
