Over all the years I've been in Atlanta real estate I have come to the realization that clean homes sell. The perfect location is very important also! That means close in for a reasonable commute, near shopping, and best schools is a must. If not, all you have is a home in the middle of nowhere with a questionable value.
In a buyers Atlanta real estate market everything has to be just perfect or else buyers will not budge, they do not have to, because there is too much to choose from. It is amazing in this Atlanta real estate market, you can find the rare perfect home that is priced incredibly well, and buyers do not want to pay full price. To their dismay, the home sells immediately with 5 offers. That is a hard lesson to learn unless they blame you because it is convenient to do so. Foolish buyers that think they know more than an experienced agent do it to themselves all the time. Their greed makes them lose the really good deals, and they end up buying something that is not a bargain at any price.
A perfect Atlanta home that is priced well is a rarity in the market. They are not in distress, but are realistic about their needs. It is an opportunity not to be passed up. So here is what I believe some of the qualities a perfect Atlanta home may possess. Is you home an Atlanta Best Home?
