Lights Of Life 2015The Lights of Life is an annual tradition that was started by Life University and dates back to 1989. Talk of the Lights of LIFE spread quickly, given the location, quality and low cost.

Marietta, Georgia. Locally known by many as May-Retta, and by many more as the town just north of the Big Chicken. That I will cover in a seperate post!Like many southern towns, Marietta has a terrific town square. Right smack in the middle of the downtown area, this park is surrounded by government buildings, restaurants, and retail shops. There is also a terrific live theatre there as well. When I was there this past weekend, they were preparing for a music fest, and many pople were out enjoying the park like atmosphere.There was a farmers market going on at one side street, outdoor cafes open, people walking their dogs, and a real southern feel to the day. The fact that the temperature never rose above 72 and the skys were a brilliant blue did not hurt either!What about parking you a... 09/13/2015

The title is a tribute to our friend, Roger D. Mucci as he begins his recovery from his second knee replacement surgery.The subject is to piggyback onto a post that I wrote yesterday, Agent Caravans - Are They Dead?After writing the Dead post, I had a light bulb moment and decided to try an Agent Caravan...With A Twist!The twist is a VIRTUAL AGENT CARAVAN with the promise of a drawing for a $50 gift card among the agents who participated with feedback.Last night, I composed an email with a description of my listing, links to the listing details and the virtual tour and I scheduled it to be sent to all of the agents in our 8 office company at 8am this morning.I was skeptical but hopeful of getting a few responses.I decided to put a time limit of about 36 hours on the responses since many... 07/27/2015

One of the most often overlooked roles of co-brokers in a real estate transaction is as a FILTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS between the buyer and seller.Many states and brokerages have taken this role very seriously by eliminating dual agency (one agent, two clients) altogether.  Dual agency puts the lone agent in a difficult situation between the buyer and the seller and often creates far more liability than can be defended in court.  (No debate necessary for or against dual agency!)Having an understanding of our client and how they communicate is KEY TO KEEPING A TRANSACTION ON TRACK.  From the first meeting to the closing and beyond, real estate agents make a study of each client and their individual personalities and style. We learn to anticipate our client's reactions to certain situations... 07/21/2015

Professional listing photos can be a wonderful tool in our real estate marketing arsenal.  With the advent of drone photography, we are gaining an entirely new perspective on property exteriors, large parcels and unique landscapes.I am not an expert when it comes to photography.  I don't know all of the lingo or the various lens or lighting applications.  That being said, I do pride myself on having invested a fair amount in my own camera and I dedicate a lot of time and energy in an effort to capture very good photographs of my own listings.  In my career, I have photographed hundreds of homes; small, large, old, new construction, vacant and furnished.  One thing that all of these homes have had in common is that they are all intrinsically difficult to photograph.Until you've actually ... 07/19/2015

I am going to keep this short and sweet for new agents and inexperienced buyers. I have seen a particular tactic of negotiating come up a few times over my career and I have never been a witness to any level of effectiveness.When a new listing hits the market and your buyer rushes in to make an offer on day one, loading it up with special stipulations regarding minor (perhaps even personal choice) cosmetic issues will not win you any special favor with the seller.  Neither will speculating on issues that may or may not come up as a result of a home inspection.Having the agent back up the stipulations with a very negative diatribe about the overall quality of the home and workmanship probably won't help your case either.And, for the trifecta, about 3 hours after submitting the offer, res... 07/07/2015

Selling your Cobb County home can be a very exciting time.  As your Cobb County listing agent, my job is to effectively market your property to other real estate agents and buyers in order to drive traffic into your home for showings so that you can quickly find a buyer and move on with your journey.Once your home is actively listed in the MLS and the sign & lockbox are in place, you may occasionally notice cars slowing down in front of your home to get a closer look at the property, write down phone numbers off of the yard sign or pick up a flyer from the information box.It is important that you, as the homeowner, DO NOT APPROACH THESE PEOPLE. Read ANYTHING YOU SAY...Please, Stop Talking! to find out how talking with potential buyers can negatively impact your negotiating position.It i... 06/24/2015
