When some house hunters see “saltwater pool” in Cumming, GA listings, the first thing apt to come to mind is that last trip to the ocean seashore or swaying palm trees—or perhaps some NatGeo TV show about endangered species on the Great Barrier reef.

forsyth county: Why You Should Use Realtor Recommended Service Providers
- 01/03/17 12:22 PM
I’m supposed to be at a closing right now, but it ain’t gonna happen! When buying a new home there are many service providers you will choose to assist you. Of course the first will be your Realtor, but you will also need the services of a lender and closing attorney/title office among others. I strongly recommend that you request a referral for these services from your Realtor rather than using a friend or choosing the “lowest bidder”. Your agent has day-to-day experience with these professionals and knows who can get the job done and who can turn your transaction into a real … (1 comments)

Recently, a local real estate attorney spoke to our South Forsyth real estate office about a scam being used to take advantage of new homeowners When you close on your new home, the Closing attorney or Title Company will have the Warranty Deed recorded and then the original document will be sent to you at no additional charge. This process usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. This procedure is explained at the time of closing, but most buyers are somewhat shell shocked by the vast amount … (0 comments)
