list: What to Expect in the Atlanta Housing Market in 2013 - 11/14/12 10:28 PM
Folks are once again starting to ask about the Atlanta housing market.  The election is over and now Atlanta home owners (and home buyers) are starting to look towards 2013.  What should you expect if you plan to sell your home in 2013?
For starters, Atlanta is somewhere around the class average in terms of the National real estate market.  We are doing better than half the class but are still way behind the leading national markets.  Atlanta struggled with foreclosures for a far longer time than most of the US.  And Atlanta still has sub-markets with plenty of foreclosures.  I am fortunate to … (1 comments)

list: Get Your Atlanta House Ready for the Spring Real Estate Market - 12/21/11 11:49 PM
You've made the decision to move.  Congratulations!  You have overcome one of the biggest obstacles to making that a reality.  Whether moving for reasons that are emotionally joyous or emotionally painful, there are things you need to do to get ready for the market.  Listing a home for sale in the Atlanta market requires doing some "home work".
1. Pack up all the leftover holiday stuff and store it away.
2. De-clutter your home.  Less is definitley more as you prepare your home for visitors.  If you have way too much stuff consider donations to Goodwill.  If you have the means, … (1 comments)

list: Listing Your 30084 Tucker GA Home For Sale When You Live in Gwinnett County - 12/07/11 09:29 AM
Tucker Georgia 30084 straddles two metro Atlanta counties.  One side of Tucker Georgia 30084 sits on the DeKalb County side of the line.  The other side of Tucker Georgia 30084 sits on the Gwinnett County side of the line.  Roughly speaking Mountain Industrial Blvd and Jimmy Carter Blvd are at or near the geographic boundaries.
Home buyers should be aware of which side of the County line they are considering for a home purchase.  There is a difference in school systems to consider and a difference in municipal tax structure to consider.  DeKalb is "closer in" and Gwinnett is thought of … (0 comments)

list: Selling Your Gwinnett County Home in 2012 - 12/07/11 09:09 AM
Are you looking to sell your Gwinnett County Home in 2012?  If the answer is yes, take a minute to consider where your buyer might be coming from AND how to attract that buyer to view and purchase your home.
 
Many Gwinnett County buyers are moving from closer in neighborhoods where they have been renting an apartment or leasing a house.  A significant umber of these buyers start their home search in DeKalb County and then move further out as they realize they are not able to purchase a home that meets their needs in DeKalb at a price they … (0 comments)

list: Why did you list with that AGENT? - 12/02/11 05:28 AM
It was the usual scenario.  I got a call from some homeowners in my neighborhood who were thinking about putting their house on the market.  The caller wanted to know if I would be interested in visiting with them and reviewing the market value of their home.  Having sold a number of homes in the neighborhood over many years, the sellers were familiar with my listing and marketing efforts.  They also knew I was "successful" in selling houses in a rather tough Atlanta real estate market. 
The meeting went great.  The owners had questions and I gave thorough answers.  We looked … (4 comments)

list: JP Morgan Chase Halts Foreclosure on 50,000 Homes - 09/30/10 01:09 AM
The Associated Press reports in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution that JP Morgan Chase is halting foreclosure on 50,000 homes because of improper paperwork. 
JPMorgan halts 50K foreclosures for possible flaws
Earlier this month GMAC Mortgage LLC is reported to have " halted certain evictions and sales of foreclosed homes in 23 states to review those cases. The company said it found procedural errors in some foreclosure affidavits"
The key point here is that the foreclosures have been delayed.  But, foreclosures will start up again once the banks have their paperwork back in order.
JP Morgan CHase and GMAC Mortage holders may have … (6 comments)
