Are you working with the right clients?  Do you know who they are?
 
I love my career in Atlanta real estate and strive to do the absolute best for my clients and their needs.  One of the things that I have realized in almost 10 years of helping folks sell, buy, lease and property manage homes in the Buckhead/Sandy Springs areas is that you cannot help everyone and you probably shouldn’t want to.
 
What I mean by this is I want to help clients who value what I can do for them and the fact that I … (34 comments)

Curiosity killed the cat, but the dog is safe!
The Francis Family enjoyed a fabulous vacation on Manasota Key, FL (Just south of Sarasota/Venice) on the west coast of Florida.  It was incredible in the enjoyment we all took out of the amazing peaceful surroundings.  The kids absolutely loved it, the beach, fishing, boating, and surfing. But no one had a better time than our 2 1/2 year old Shih Zsu, Ginger.  I wish she could talk so we could find out what she was thinking!
Ginger just loved the beach!  Here she is the first day!

For the first time in almost 10 years of being a Realtor with Tim Francis Realty in Atlanta, GA, I had a closing on my birthday, this past Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.  What … (9 comments)

michelle francis atlanta ga realtor: "No that commute time is not realistic" - 11/16/10 12:49 AM
 
Jim writes about the DC commute here.  However, Atlanta like all major cities has some serious driving challenges.  One of my first questions to buyers is to check where they need to go during the day- office, airport, schools, as well as any family members or hospital needs.  Having that information, we are then much better prepared to find them a sensible commute option. 
One of my favorite calls after selling buyers a home was a "Thank you for my 10 minute commute" phone call.  Their previous residences in London had always been over an hour commute from work to … (2 comments)

If you are new to Atlanta,GA there is a great area you need to check out with restaurants, shops and bars.  If you have lived here a while, when was the last time you stopped by? 
It's fun to see how the Virginia Highland area has evolved.  When I moved here in 1982, it was Taco Mac and Murphy's for me.  Taco Mac seemed fabulous to work your way around the world in beers and was a very popular college haunt.
