REMAX Greater Atlanta Holiday Party The holidays area always a great time of year and especially when you get to go to the office party.  This year RE/MAX Greater Atlanta held our holiday luncheon at the the Dunwoody Country Club!  It was so good to see a lot of my associates and agents that we worked with over the year, and yet many I've not seen in a long while.  It was great catching up with friends.   These are tough times for so many in our industry and we were all so very grateful to belong to such a wonderful organization that has offered so … (19 comments)

remax: REMAX - Buyer Maps Beta | What an Incredible Tool To Show Buyer Interest! - 10/13/08 05:09 AM
I just opened an e-mail from RE/MAX Regional and was impressed with a new beta tool I saw.  It shows live buyer traffic across the nation in live time views.  If you ever wondered how many buyers were out there right now looking for a home at this very moment...now you know!   You can view this buyer LIVE MAP SEARCH AT REMAX.COMsearches on  RE/MAX Buyer Map Beta .
Let me know what you think!   I've seen similar web traffic maps, but not this good looking in real time.  It is always good to know the market is not totally dead!  LOL!

remax: A Funny Story About A Listing Agent that Had It! - 12/03/07 08:20 AM
I was speaking with an Atlanta real estate agent friend of mine the other day about the difficulty in dealing with sellers in this current market.  No matter what statistics, facts or reports that you present the sellers, their home is different!  They want to know why you cannot sell it!  Sellers are more anxious than ever, and want minute by minute blows on what the listing agent is doing to sell their homes!  Some seller's can be really annoying, but it is part of our job to deal with it!  However, this particular seller was being put up to it … (32 comments)

remax: Atlanta Ranch Homes Make Sense | Atlanta Ranch Homes for Sale - 11/27/07 08:29 AM

  
Atlanta ranch homes for sale?  Buying a ranch home in Atlanta makes a lot of sense every way you look at it!  Ranch homes are very practical, and cost efficient both in energy and maintenance!  First of all in a ranch homes there are no steps! Thats right, stepless! As we get older, one level living is a no brainer!  Gravity make our knees feel the need  not to climb up and down stairs all day to make beds and do laundry.  It starts to make sense when you ask yourself a few questions!  Why should you have to walk up stairs to unload … (2 comments)

remax: When you're on a listing appointment who are you competing with? - 04/17/07 06:38 AM
I think many agents shoot themselves in the foot when they go on a listings appointment.  They have it set in their mind the major competition for the listing is going to be commission.  The seller is about to pick their brains, and when it is all said and done...hand the information over to a someone else that will list theri home for next to nothing.  Before anyone says anything, this post is not about commission!  It is about a self-defeating attitude.  The agent is doomed to live out the scenario they've dreamt up in their own mind.
In the past few years, … (35 comments)
