milton real estate: Milton government provides road conditions update - 01/14/10 07:20 AM
If you live or work in metro Atlanta, you know doubt had concerns about the cold weather and driving conditions the last few days.  And maybe, like me, you find it easy to criticize our local governments. 
However, I wanted to take a minute to compliment the City of Milton for providing timely email updates about the conditions of our local roads during the snow and ice event.  I recently signed up to be on the City of Milton's mailing list and was pleasantly surprised to receive daily updates on the condition of the various roads around the city.

milton real estate: Don't forget about new Alpharetta & Milton zip code 30009 - 01/07/10 08:01 AM
With little fanfare, the United States Postal Service announced in the summer of 2008 a new zip code for the southern portion of Alpharetta (and a tiny piece of Milton GA) - zip code 30009. 
While the zip code was created due to growth in the area, unfortunately there is no new post office available to the public planned for the area. If you've ever been to the existing post office serving Alpharetta and Milton, you'll know there is a serious need for another facility, but it's doubtful one will be built in the foreseeable future.

milton real estate: Home Staging- Vacant Condo Before & After - 11/13/09 09:04 AM
Recently we posted a blog showing before and after photos of the area around a fireplace in a townhome we had for sale.  Around that same time, we had a vacant condo that we staged for a client as well and decided we'd put together a virtual tour showing the process.
In this example, we used our home staging inventory gathered thru the years.  We "loan" home staging items to most of our clients that are selling and blend our accessories in with their furnishings to create vignettes to entice homebuyers.  These items have two purposes: to give our photos going … (0 comments)

milton real estate: Can't find Milton Homes for Sale? Here's Why... - 11/09/09 02:01 PM
OK, you've read and heard about Milton GA before and thought, "sounds like a great place- maybe I should live there".  Then you tried to find homes for sale in Milton online with no luck. 
Here's why- Milton was incorporated as a city in 2006 from previously unincorporated areas of North Fulton county on the west side of Hwy 400.  Because it's a new city, there is no "official" Milton post office yet serving the city limits.  And in metro Atlanta, your address (and how your home is listed for sale online) is based on what post office delivers mail … (0 comments)

milton real estate: Home Staging using Seller's Furnishings - Milton Real Estate - 10/23/09 09:21 AM
Staging a home to sell is one of the most crucial aspects to consider when putting a home on the market.  In today's housing market, even first time homebuyers have high expectations- after all, it seems everyone watches HGTV's Designed to Sell and other real estate shows. 

Realtors are faced with two choices when putting their seller's home on the market.  Keep the home in the same condition you find it; in other words, how the seller has lived in their home.  Or, raise the bar by putting the home in top condition to sell the home.

milton real estate: Jumbo Loans Available - Milton Real Estate - 10/19/09 01:18 PM
 
We all know that credit guidelines to purchase real estate have become much more difficult in the last year or so.  However, there is still credit available at all price points- we know this to be true because we are working with home buyers in all segments of the real estate market.
A common homebuyer complaint is about the difficulty in obtaining a loan to purchase a home priced at over $500,000.  With an average home price of around $800,000 in Milton, GA, this can be particularly frustrating.
