ga: Rethinking Buyer Agency.. - 01/12/24 12:10 PM
Rethinking Buyer Agency…
 
Ga. law PROHIBITS brokers (and agent) from representing a buyer as a client without first entering in to a written agreement. That has always been the case. But honestly, until recently, I have perceived the buyer agency agreement as a binder between myself and the buyers, and I believe buyers percieve it the same. My belief has been that if I do a great job the buyer will be loyal to me and we will have a successful relationship. Once we got to the point of actually making a written offer on a home I would do the buyer … (3 comments)

ga: Good Thing! I won't buy your home if it doesn't sell! - 08/03/18 11:37 AM
If I don’t sell your home I will NOT buy it!
 
If you are in any way thinking of selling your home you have no doubt heard or seen these ads. I will not make that offer and here is why!
 
  In my opinion it is a marketing gimmick to get in the door.   People hear and see the ads and instinctively know there are strings attached but call anyway. They figure if the agent is that confident it must be worth checking out. What are some of those possible strings? Every offer is a little different but here are some examples.

ga: How much is real estate commission? - 02/16/18 06:47 AM
www.1PercentListingSolution.com
The true answer is that commissions are negotiable.  However just because they can be negotiated does not mean they will be negotiated.
Many agents and brokerages have policies that will not allow the agents to charge any less than a certain percentage.  Several years ago I was interviewing different companies to potentially hold my license.  On was very specific that i could not list a home for less than 6% even if it was friends or family.  Anything less would "devalue" their brand.    I did not choose them.
 
Here in Ga 6% is fairly common and that is usually split evenly between the listing agent … (3 comments)

ga: What to expect from the home inspection - 07/31/14 01:41 AM
What to expect from the home inspection:
Here in Ga it is common with residential sales contract to allow a "due diligence" period as a part of the contract. There are actually many things that can happen during due diligence but for today i just want to put in a few quick words for both buyers and sellers regarding the home inspection.
Here is the general advice that I give to a buyer. Typically the report will be 20-40 pages.  Don't panic!!!  That is normal.  There will pages and pages of things that the inspector has noted.  Again, don't panic.  Most of these … (0 comments)

ga: Tortoise v. Hare home markets - 01/06/14 11:03 PM
I have said for a long time that Metro Atlanta is a "tortoise" market.  I have used that analogy many times.  We dont get the big price run ups like Phoenix, Las Vegas, or L.A. But those areas have seen market price declines many times before.  According to records from FHFA the recent decline in our area was the only significant decline in over 35 years. 
 
But like any market, you need to be in for the long haul.  If you think like the tortoise you can win!

ga: Bryan Ellis Newsletter interview - 12/16/13 12:51 AM
I was recently interviewed by the Bryan Ellis Investing letter that goes out to a  couple hundred thousand investors all over the country!  
***************

Atlanta, Georgia has been at the top of a lot of lists these days, and that makes its real estate of prime interest to investors. For starters, according to a recently-published Forbes study, more than half (54 percent) of all real estate purchases in Atlanta are for cash and made by investors, indicating that the investing community in the area is still both flush and active. Furthermore,  Atlanta and Atlanta-area home values have climbed significantly over the … (0 comments)

Why Warren Buffet is so dang rich...
"Find a need and fill it" unknown

Some of you may have read my previous post about current adventure in home flipping,  Flip this house-My Version .  I promise a progress update soon however today is related but different. The project is a manufactured,double wide, home on a half acre in a subdivision of other manufactured homes. It's a nice neighborhood build in the late 80's in Acworth.  

There is a premise in real estate that fair market value is the price met by a willing buyer and willing seller without … (0 comments)

Family Feud ... The Answer Is

When we were kids we would sit and watch Richard Dawson and Family Feud all the time!  My mom loved the show and applied for us to play but we never got on.  For the last several years the show has taped here in Atlanta and last spring we decided to audition and hopefully play in our moms honor.  On the same day that the world heard that Richard Dawson passed away we got word that we were going … (0 comments)
