Just Sold, helping Buyers find the right home in Atlanta GA
 
Tim Francis Realty works with both Atlanta Sellers and Atlanta Buyers to satisfy their real estate needs.  Through the course of looking for the best home to meet their needs, we found one that really spoke to both the buyers.   (You know, not every house doesJ)
 
After a thorough search, we were all thrilled to see this lovely home for them.  Six weeks under contract and a smooth closing later, they will be moving in a few days.   It was a great experience and they had a … (3 comments)

michelle francis atlanta ga realtor: Sellers, Do You Really Think Atlanta Home Buyers are Stupid? - 01/21/11 11:46 AM
 
Sellers, Do You Really Think Atlanta Home Buyers are Stupid?
 
Tim Francis Realty is working with a couple buyers this January 2011.  We’ve been out showing properties to them.  Invariably, with our automated listings reports, new listings will come up in a neighborhood we’ve been watching out for.  So, we added the new listing for $449k to our showing list and showed it. 
 
Prior to showing this listing, we’ve shown two other homes in the neighborhood that were both very similar sizes &; amenities, in fabulous condition, newer appliances and priced well at $379k and $399k at … (6 comments)

michelle francis atlanta ga realtor: Why we blog? Do you know why you blog? - 12/07/10 01:26 PM
Why we blog?  Do you know why you blog?
My family sometimes wonders why I blog, then there’s friends who ask what I’ve been up to and I share that I am embracing social media.  After trying to explain what social media is and what the heck a blog is, many just don’t get it. 
I live, work and play in the Buckhead/Sandy Springs areas of Atlanta, GA.  (I’m literally at the edge of the two.)  So I frequently write blog posts about the area, housing and other trends (schools, parks, events in the area, etc.)   Since I’ve been here 20+ … (35 comments)

Michelle Francis Runs on Dunkin Donuts (Coffee!)
Well, I can't speak for America, like DD says, but Michelle Francis Runs on Dunkin Donuts (Coffee!).  I don't know really when this addiction started, and trust me, it is an addiction!  However, it's a daily ritual to go by the Dunkin Donuts drive through for my daily large Decaf, Cream and Sugar.   
One day my mother was with me in the car, she was just mortified that the DD guy had my coffee ready and waiting out the drive through window and greeted me by name!  Hey, I figure there are worse places … (14 comments)

michelle francis atlanta ga realtor: Do sellers have to sell at appraisal price? - 07/11/10 09:41 AM
Do sellers have to sell at appraisal price?   We were recently working to put a deal together, but couldn't as the buyers wanted us to agree to sell at appraisal price.  Unfortunately, we couldn't come to terms, so no deal.  We were willing to negotiate if the appraisal wasn't for the sales price, but we were not willing to sell for the appraisal price without knowing it ahead of time.
What do you think?  What would you do?  Our owners felt that the option to sell at what the appraisal came up with was their choice.  I support them on this.  … (13 comments)

 Atlanta GA - 5.6 Million People and growing! Atlanta's Real Estate Future Predictions - April 2010!   One of the first landmarks I remember seeing in Atlanta was the Population Number at The Darlington off Peachtree Rd.  In 1982 it had a number at approximately 1.8 Million.  
Fast forward 28 years later and yesterday, this is a picture of the same sign.  Atlanta is at 5.6 Million in population.  We've seen tremendous growth throughout the past three decades.  In the late 1990's, Atlanta was gaining over 100k jobs a year which fueled strong expansion. 
In early 2002, the sign read … (7 comments)

New Peachtree Dunwoody Bridge OPEN - March 23rd 2010!!!! Sandy Springs GA  
After some crazy weather and flooding, the City of Sandy Springs was forced to close the Peachtree Dunwoody Bridge over Nancy Creek on September 22nd, 2009 when they realized the center support had completely given way on the old bridge.  So, it was no longer safe to use.  
It took about two + months to complete a bidding process and new construction got under way in early December 2009.  The weather since then has been awful for the south with excessive rain, snow and cold weather, something … (5 comments)
