Use The Buy & Hold Real Estate Strategy In Atlanta GA Real Estate I know many homeowners are upside down in their mortgage, meaning you owe more to the bank than your home is worth in today's market.  Don't panic.  Don't force a sale.  Don't do anything, except keep making your payments - even if it's hard to do so.  In Atlanta Commercial Real Estate, Poor Drafting Equals Option To Purchase Unenforceable Blackberries, text messaging and instant messaging have resulted in a culture that worships speed at the expense of precision. I see this effect every day when people explain transactions to me that they wish to pursue only to leave out important details that they either had not considered or were in their head and did not make it into the email.

As a home stager, I get the benefit of working with many different people in all different kinds of circumstances.  Sometimes they are the empty nesters looking to downsize or move closer to the family who's spread their wings and left the nest.  Sometimes they are the people that move sideways...just looking for a new house in another neighborhood.  And there are times I've had people in the process of graduating to the bigger home.  The common denominator in all of these scenarios is making sure the house is properly prepared to sell.  All of my consulations include the basics:  Clean, clean, clean  make any necessary repairs or updates declutter and organize depersonalize reconfigure the furnishings and accessories  Aside from having a few great real estate agents to refer to all of ...

Have you ever wondered why Metro Atlanta is so pretty?  I think it's pretty because of all the green, the natural color that comes from trees, shrubs, and grass.  There are many different shades of green and in the fall they become a kaleidoscope of reds, orange and yellows.  In the spring we watch all the trees leaf, shrub bloom with wonderful pinks, whites, purples and more, and the grass lays its carpet of green.  We are blessed with a bountiful tree canopy that keeps our city green all year, thanks to the pines and evergreens.  From all directions we have this outstanding vista.  I was reminded this week just how lucky we are while driving through a city with no trees.  After topping a small hill, all I could see was roof tops, home after home.  I immediately thought of beautiful gr...

When you put your Woodstock Georgia Home up for sale, it is hard to objectively look at your surroundings. Instead of the window that needs caulking, you see the view of the tree where your first swing hung. Instead of a refrigerator plastered with artwork, you see a visual progression of your child's school years. However, it is important to remember that prospective Home Buyers do not share your memories. They will see what is directly in front of them, minus the nostalgia! In Woodstock and any market this is important to remember if you are thinking of selling your home. Try to always put yourself in the buyers shoes. Sometimes it takes going out to look at other homes in the same price range so you can see what your competition is first hand.If you currently own land, we can locate ...

There are many different stories of how Woodstock got its name.  The most logical is that it derived from a novel of the same name by Sir Walter Scott.  Other less plausible explanations included the theory that the train stopped here to "stock wood," but the railroad came to the area some fifty years after the town had a post office and a name.  There is also one tale that a man named Mr. Woodstock settled in the area and started a school, thus giving the community its name. Today, the City of Woodstock is the fastest growing city in Cherokee County.  More and more new businesses and professional services are available and conveniently located in Woodstock.  With the growth rate of Woodstock at 70% over the past 10 years, the city has doubled in size.  With Interstate 575 and State Hig...

Lately I have had numerous people ask me if they should try to short saletheir home.  These are people who are stuck in increasing adjustable rate mortages, interest only loans with balloon payments coming due that can't refinance or afford to pay the balloon payment, high interest rate loans with extremely high mortgage payments that they can no longer afford and people who want or need to sell, but feel that they won't be able to get what they owe on their homes due to declining values.   Short sales have saved many people from foreclosure thus saving lenders hundreds of thousands that they would have lost with the alternative ~ Foreclosure!  That being said, do you need to short sale your home?  Can you short sale your home?  Would you even want to try to short sale your home?  Lets...

If you haven’t heard of Randy Pausch (a Professor from Canegie Mellon University), his motivational speeches and his book “The Last Lecture” then you are missing out! I have included a video of one of his amazing motivational speeches within this blog and encourage you to watch. His message reflects how we are in control of our happiness, our lives, how we feel about ourselves and others. He states that it takes great strength to dig deep, except our weaknesses and do what it takes to change and rise above to be the person we want to be. We can be whatever we want - we make the decision. Randy said that if he could give only 3 words to live by those would be “Tell the truth”, and if he had 6 words he would add “all the time”. Imagine what kind of world we would live in if everyone lived...

As a consumer, how often do you buy real estate property?  Once, twice, maybe three times in your lifetime? Purchasing real estate is a complex transaction with many details to be handled.
