There are many celebrities in the world that require any photographer to only take photos for what they have determined to be their "best side." If you have ever seen a photo of Mariah Carey, she demands that all photos of her are only from the right side of her face. Here in Atlanta, in the middle of August, the grass has usually turned a muted, ugly shade of brown and doesn't do your home justice in any photos. When a potential buyer is looking at homes in the Atlanta, … (0 comments)

It's not uncommon to have a listing where the sellers have a personal attachment to a fixture in their home. Many owners have either paid a lot of money for the Dining Room chandelier or drapes that match their bedroom bedding. I usually recommend that they take down the chandelier or make sure the Seller's Disclosure spells out what stays with the home. The sellers can go out and replace the chandelier with a new one so it's a non-issue for the buyers. Last winter, I had a listing appointment where the wife informed me that she … (0 comments)
I recently had a buyer that was referred to me by a past client. The buyer was moving here from another area, but was not quite ready for the move until he sold his present home. In the meantime, just like most buyers, he was doing his homework first by using the internet to look at homes. On my first phone call, I encouraged him to get pre-qualified by one of my recommended mortgage companies in the area. He said that he was not quite ready to get with a mortgage company at … (0 comments)
Last year, there was a U.S. Supreme Court decision that settled a dispute between a widow and the man's first wife, who he had been divorced from for over 10 years. The dispute was for the deceased husband's federal employee insurance benefits. The judges ruled in favor of the deceased man's first wife since she was still the designated beneficiary on his policy.
You probably think that the financial rights to any insurance or employee benefit policy are covered under the terms and conditions of your will. The truth is any … (0 comments)

ga: Don't forget about your night time Curb Appeal!
- 05/16/14 12:11 AM
It's all about the Curb Appeal Most buyers like to see homes for the first time during the day, but if they live in the area, they will do several drive-bys of the the potential home during the day and at night. For a very low investment and an easy DIY project, you can add outdoor landscape lights to the front of the home to illuminate the exterior. You have several options; light up just the front face of the home or add additional lighting to the trees, the stairs leading to the house or a pathway to … (0 comments)
ga: New Kitchen; $25,000 vs. $120
- 04/16/14 05:28 AM
Homes in Cherokee County You may recognize the photo to the right as the same photo in my signature below. I get a lot of nice compliments on what a nice Kitchen this is. The secret to the Kitchen cabinets is that they are PAINTED! The vast majority of homes built in this area were constructed during the ALL WHITE kitchen and bathroom cabinets stage. Yes, new cabinets for this Kitchen would have been about $25,000 compared to about $120 in painting materials. The other secret to this beautiful kitchen is that there was additional wood moldings added to the top … (42 comments)
ga: One of the best Gardens in Georgia!
- 04/13/14 01:43 AM
Gibbs Gardens One of my favorite gardens in the area is Gibbs Gardens located in Ball Ground, Georgia. About 30 minutes north of Atlanta. It opened to the public about two years ago. This is one of the best times of the year to visit the gardens with the many fields of endless daffodils. There are three different types of daffodils that bloom at different times. One of the things that makes this garden special is that the owner, Mr. Gibbs, is usually sitting in the front lobby to greet the visitors to the gardens. His passion and enthusiasm is … (2 comments)
ga: Tree Wars

Tree Wars This is such an amazing time of year to be out showing homes. The weather is bright and sunny, and the big bonus for the Spring time here in the Atlanta area are all the different types of flowering trees to enjoy. As shown in the photo, the downside for all these large trees are the amount of shade that is cast in the shadows of this amazing beauty. When we first moved here from Texas, I was awestruck at the trees since the only trees in our area were small in size. I just loved looking … (7 comments)

ga: What's the #1 ranked restaurant in Acworth, GA?
- 03/29/14 10:17 AM
Well, that easy! It's Henry's Louisiana Grill! Get your cajun raging at Henry's, but be prepared for a substantial wait to get in. Dinner on the weekend can take about two hours to get seated. Even on a busy Saturday, Chef Henry (seen in photo) was out mingling with his guests, making sure everyone in the restaurant had their set of New Orleans beads strung over their necks. You can't beat the food or the service at Henry's. My favorite dish is their famous Shrimp & Grits. The thick, cheesy grits with the flavorful shrimp seasoned to perfection is a … (0 comments)

Have you ever made a wrong turn only to be rewarded with a nice surprise? We were on on way to our destination using my phone for the GPS when I received a phone call. Yes, you guessed it. We missed our turn. As we were trying to look around to see where to turn around, we noticed a non-descript restaurant with a crowd inside the restaurant. Hmmm. You want to stop and try it out? Sure, I'm up for it. Decorated as a New Orleans style basement with concrete walls of deep purple and a large alligator on … (2 comments)
