In today's market, many people are so caught up in the labels of Atlanta Foreclosures and Atlanta Short Sales. These types of properties have almost become "auction houses" in the sense that people see the word Foreclosure and immediately assume that they'll be able to pick the property up for half of its value. We'll, unfortunately, there are many others who have the same idea. So, the banks are now receiving multiple offers on properties and actually have a CHOICE as to which one they want to go with. Now, they have started putting buyers into "bidding wars" against one another.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT IN TODAY'S MARKET?? While in the meantime, there are GREAT DEALS all around from average sellers who just NEED TO GET OUT OF THEIR HOME. This is the time when NOT to look at an Atlanta Foreclosure or an Atlanta Short Sale!

Buying directly from the seller has MANY benefits starting with the condition of the Home. There is usually a pride of ownership that comes with an owner who is trying to sell his home for top dollar. Not always, but you can generally count on the condition of the home to be visibly better. Remember, Atlanta foreclosed and Atlanta short sale homes have a higher amount of issues with them and upon acceptance of an offer, you just inherited anything materially wrong with the property.

Another advantage is fast decisions--owners are able to give you an answer typically in 48 hours or less. You will know right away if you have something that is achievable or if you need to move on to the next home. This is especially crucial when you are on "timeframes" of having to be out of your other house by a certain date or move before your lease has to be renewed.

Yet, another advantage is price flexibility---almost 40% of all the homes in the U.S. have no mortgage. This means the seller does not have to pay off a lien in order to sell their home. They literally have the ability to sell at any price. Also, with the current market conditions, there are a slew of owners who just need to SELL and are willing to reduce their price to less than what foreclosures and short sales are going for.

I could go on, but you get the point.....if you're focused on one specific area, there is a whole other piece of the pie you could be potentially missing.
