atlanta real estate: Selling an Atlanta Home? See what my clients say!
- 12/31/11 05:00 AM
Selling an Atlanta home? It can be an overwhelming feeling, but it doesn't need to be. See what one of my most recent home sellers in Atlanta had to say.
I just sold his Atlanta midtown condo in 43 days and for $15,000 higher than any 1 bedroom unit has sold in Park Central in the past year! If you're selling your home, there are things you can do to make it stand out from the rest. Home staging, proper pricing, being a cooperative seller (as in being flexible with showings) and a strong marketing plan all make a difference. … (1 comments)

atlanta real estate: Top Tips for Buying Atlanta Investment Property
- 01/15/11 05:48 AM
Top Tips for Buying Investment Property
1. Buy in an area you know. Several times this year I’ve gotten calls from out of state investors who bought property without ever seeing it and then were having issues.
2. Buy in an area that’s convenient to your own home if you plan to manage it yourself. Doing maintenance and repairs on homes that are far away can be difficult.
3. Buy in an area that has public transportation. It opens open your pool of potential renters to those that rely on public transportation.
4. Check out the neighborhood as if you were … (9 comments)

atlanta real estate: Q & A on Title Insurance - Home Buying in Georgia
- 12/28/10 01:01 AM
Q & A on Title Insurance- I'm an Atlanta real estate agent and find that my home buyers often have these questions before closing.
What's title insurance? It's meant to protect the owner's or lender's financial interest in real estate.
Whose interest does it protect? Lender's title insurance protects the lender and Owner's title insurance protects the home buyer for as long as they own the home.
Who pays for it? When a buyer is getting a loan, they pay for both the Lender's title policy and the Owner's title policy. It's a one time fee at closing. If there is no loan … (5 comments)

atlanta real estate: Pre-Qualified Just to See the House?
- 09/20/10 09:55 AM
People often call and want to go look at houses for sale. That's great because I sell houses. When I ask if they have been pre-qualified or if they have talked to a lender, lots of times I get the response, "No, I just want to see the house."
Here's the challenge: When I list a home, I make a commitment to my sellers that I will only show their home to ready, willing and able buyers. I apply the same rule when showing other agent's listings.
Ready - Are you ready to buy now or just dreaming of where to retire … (7 comments)

The one currently on the market for $2.3 million is just 3,304 square feet. While that's not huge for a luxury single family home, it's a pretty good … (0 comments)

atlanta real estate: Back to the Basics- What's an Offer anyway?
- 07/14/09 07:55 AM
Back to the Basics- What's an offer anyway? Recently, a Buyer believed we were under contract with a home just because we had submitted an offer and went back and forth with counter offers. That's not how it works. Let me explain...
An offer is simply that, an offer to purchase. It's a promise by one party (usually the Buyer) to act or perform (buy the home) in a specified manner (purchase price, closing date, etc.) provided the other party (usually the Seller) acts or performs in the manner requested (sells the home).
An offer is an intention to enter into a … (2 comments)

atlanta real estate: Get Ready for Your Move
- 06/08/09 03:20 PM
Here are some basic tips to help make your move a smooth one.
If you need moving boxes, check out free resources like Craigslist.com and FreeCycle, a yahoo group.
Number your moving boxes. You don't need to write on the box everything that‘s in there, for security it's better that you don't. Keep a list. I like using a notebook. Next to #1 write down the contents and the room it belongs in. When you get to your destination you'll know which boxes you'll need to open first. This also helps if you end up needing something you've already packed before … (1 comments)
