ga: New Short Sale Timelines - 02/22/12 08:27 AM
New Short Sale Timelines
I was working on a resource guide for our buyer's agents and buyers of our short sale alike and wanting to give them some more specifics than just the usual 60 days and get into some bank specifics.  After reviewing our data  from doing Atlanta Short Sales, I was very impressed to see that Timelines have sped up significantly! 
I was pretty impressed that Citi Short Sales got even better! Suntrust also made huge improvements! 
Citi Short Sales - Less than 30 days in most cases.  Our last one was 6 days!  Wells Fargo Short Sales - … (2 comments)

ga: Atlanta Real Estate Market Seems Like it's On Fire! - 02/13/12 05:30 PM
If you're shopping for an Atlanta Home For Sale, then you've likely noticed that their are other people looking at the same homes for sale that you are looking for.  It's not just Atlanta, or the common favorites of Alpharetta Homes or Lawrenceville homes, but high end properties like Sugarloaf Country Club are experiencing major uptick in interest and overall traffic.
With the market being between 50% to 80% distressed ( either a short sale or foreclosure which both are taking over 45 days to close) - meaning we won't know if these buyers are legitimate until later in the time … (1 comments)

ga: The City of Buford Believes If They Build It You Will Come - 04/16/10 06:19 AM
Buford, GA is working on a new deal on a new Community Center designed to out do Suwanee’s own city center.  This development should also keep more locals, well, local instead of feeling like they need to go to Duluth’s Gwinnett Center to host reunions, conferences or just large birthday parties.
"It'll be something similar to Suwanee's Town Center, but we hope to improve on it and make it bigger and better," said Phillip Beard, chairman of Buford's City Commission. "We've got the old downtown and now we're going to have the new downtown."
The 40,000-square-foot, two-story community center will … (7 comments)

ga: Lawrenceville - Gwinnett Braves Stadium gets a COOL name - 04/07/10 11:26 AM
The Atlanta Braves have signed a multi-million dollar deal for naming rights to the Gwinnett Braves ballpark in Lawrenceville.
The 16-year deal with Coolray Heating and Cooling will ultimately mean the county will get about a $4.5-million share over the life of the contract, county officials said. The deal also settles a more than year-long effort to sell the naming rights to the $64-million, publicly-financed structure.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Gwinnett County's contract with the Braves calls for the club to receive the first $350,000 annually paid in naming rights, the county to receive the next $350,000 … (1 comments)

What's the secret you ask?


STAGING
Staging in layman's terms or for those who do not watch HGTV, is taking your home and turning into a model home or as close as can be.
It's what skilled agents have been doing for years to get a home sold. Whether it's helping a seller declutter their kitchen or simply putting up shower … (2 comments)

ga: New Atlanta Journal Ad Shows the Dangers of For Sale By Owner - 04/28/08 07:46 PM
As I was driving to my appointment this morning I heard a radio ad from the Atlanta Journal, Metro Atlanta's most read newspaper, about their home classified section.  I had just attended a presentation that told me that AJC's numbers were dropping in terms of readership and that their website was picking up, but was still not a destination. 
I'm sure this new ad campaign is designed to generate more traffic, and more advertisers.
What I thought was so great about the ad (wish I could get the ad for you) is that it perfectly describes what is my number one reason … (3 comments)

ga: Counter Balance - Real Estate Trends, Life Trends - 03/11/08 08:00 PM
Quantum Leap, Gary Keller's newest (soon to be book) seminar focuses on life and adjusting your life and your business.  Keller's comments during Keller William's Family Reunion might as well been entitled, Counter Balance - Balancing Life & Real Estate. The basic premise is that life is cyclical and even more so is Real Estate.  
With that being said, it's no surprise that our market is riding the roller coaster back down on prices.  Had we all been watching the affordability numbers and compared them to home prices we'd have seen the huge gap here.  In addition, when you have mortgage … (1 comments)
