Spring came a little late this year; however, summer is just around the corner.  Now is the time to spruce up those outdoor areas if you are selling your home.  The first item should be a good cleaning so all the spring pollen is washed away.  Hose down everything including all the furniture - remember you want to get rid of the yellow pollen.  If you have a concrete patio, does it need a power washing; same for wood decks?  Remove all the spider webs and dead leaves. Now that everything is clean, take a look at the deck or patio with a critical eye...what is broken and needs to be repaired.  Does the deck need a fresh coat of stain?   Does the patio gate need to be repaired so that it opens easily and a buyer can walk into the backyard?  If there are outdoor stairs, are they safe to na...

There are many great Woodstock homes for sale under 300k.  In many cities 300k will not get you much house for the money, but that is far from the truth when talking about Woodstock real estate.  Neighborhoods (Or subdivisions is what we call them down south) such as The Woodlands, Serenade, and Bradshaw Farm are some of the most popular subdivisions for families.  All three have wonderful amenities that include swim, tennis, playground, and even clubhouses for special events of all kinds.  As a long time REALTOR in Woodstock I would recommend to check out all three. The Woodlands resides at a perfect location.  Only 10 minutes away from Roswell,Georgia, The Woodlands is an easy commute to many North Atlanta area jobs.  Equipped with nature trails, award winning amenities, and homes in ...

   Do you constantly receive credit card offers, mortgage loan offers, car loan offers, insurance offers etc in the mail? Do you want to stop receiving this junk mail and increase your credit scores by a few points? If so click the link below to opt out of pre screen offers.    In a nutshell companies can purchase information based on certain credit criteria they choose to fit their product they are selling. If you fit their criteria your information is sold to the company by one of the following Equifax, Transunion, Innovis or Experian. The before mentioned consumer credit reporting companies conduct soft credit pulls, that you never know about, to qualify you for the requested criteria being purchased prior to selling it. By opting out you prevent these "soft pulls" from happening.   ...

It looks like the finish line is finally in site for the I-575 Rope Mill Road interchange in Woodstock GA.  According to the Cherokee Ledger, the Georgia DOT has awarded Marietta-based C.W. Mathews a $17 million contract to construct the interchange- work may begin in April but must be completed by the end of 2012.  In addition to the interchange, the project involves building auxiliary lanes between Rope Mill and Towne Lake Parkway. The new interchange should bring new life to commercial and residential development in the Ridgewalk area, which now includes only residential development.  Bill Butler of Ridgewalk Holdings LLC currently is the largest landowner, controlling 200 of the roughly 400 acres of the development.  Butler is currently working thru a Chapter 11 filing and hopes to ...

Historic Main Street in Woodstock GA:  Ever since moving to Woodstock GA  some 19 years ago, I have always said that Main Street had so much potential to be like a Virginia Highlands community. There have been attempts to develop Woodstock, but not until recently has substantial progress been made. The past several years have seen much planning and development to bring this image into reality.  The construction of the Woodstock Downtown Condos and townhomes has dramatically changed the look and atmosphere of Main Street.  Along with the attractive townhomes, this developments features condiminiums above retail space in a village like setting.  Among the many appealing aspects are ammenities such as pocket parks and fire pits for social gatherings, boutique shopping and unique office spa...

Have you been to see Montclair at Ridgewalk in Woodstock, GA?  It is small gated community off Rope Mill Rd just North of Towne Lake Parkway on the East side of I-575.  This a terrific active adult community with 2 and 3 bedroom ranch condos.  The homes are not attached and all have courtyard patios.  There is lots of green space within the community.  While driving through the community recently at 4pm  there were numerous homeowners out walking and visiting... everyone waved and smiled.  Just the kind of place you want to live.  The neighborhood and homes for designed for 55+ Senior Living with lever door handles, wide halls, and step less entries.  The homes have Great Rooms, Dining Areas and open Kitchens.  Everything is tastefully done.  You can create an outdoor room on the courty...

Living in Woodstock GA - Off-Road Biking just around the corner:  When looking for something to do, how often do we overlook what our neighborhood and community have to offer.  With warmer weather on the way, we will be looking for activities that will take us outside.  I am not talking about yard work, but about recreation. Bike riding is a great form of recreation for the whole family providing fun, fresh air and excercise.  If you live in Woodstock GA and enjoy off-road biking, you can enjoy some of the best mountain bike trails in Georgia just around the corner.  Blankets Creek off of Sixes Road in Woodstock, is a highly rated, close-in, scenic sytem of trails that, in some places, runs along the pictuesque shores of Lake Allatoona and offers something for all skill levels.  The 1.7...
