If you see this siding on a home, light the caution lamp. Known by many names, Louisiana inner seal siding failure is routinely found in homes mainly across the south and midwest. LP/GP siding, OSB siding, fiberboard siding....they all share a main disastrous trait - delamination.in brief, water seeps into this siding mainly on the edges and nail holes. Once that happens, think of how a dry sponge soaks up water. Then consider the impact over years and years...the siding get to the point where it falls apart.See more - The Problems with Louisiana Pacific siding. 02/27/2023

I'm a gumpy veteran of this industry for over three decades, not much I haven't seen and not much makes me snap to. However, this transformed GA flip home did just that.GA Flip HomeThe sellers did exactly what they should, update and transformed this home.

Every home is different as is every buyer and seller. While everyone understands that no home is perfect, what are some of the things that are "deal killers"? Getting more specific, can a driveway kill a deal?The Driveway is a Deal KillerAround greater Atlanta, this is a rather common home design. Here, the garage doors open perpendicular to the front of home. The parking pad is directly in the area where the front yard might be. This is a very common design when lots are narrow; turning the doors inward allows for a narrower foot print.Driveways and Appeal It's completely reasonable to say that the driveway and garage area of the home is one of the most used areas of the home. Multiple times a day, everytime anyone comes or goes. Everytime Amazon, UPS or DoorDash comes by; everytime th... 02/14/2023

Would love opinions on something like this and the impact on future home sellers here. Hell, even the impact on residents that have appraisals completed for refis, divorce, estates....How would you counsel them? This is the derailment in Ohio which is releasing a significant amount of highly toxic chemicals into the air and ground.I know Georgia is a buyer beware state for home buyers. Sellers are expected to disclosure latent defects and be honest with disclosures, but we know that doesn't always happen.Is this something that is easily discoverable with "standard" due diligence?I see things like this - and even violent crimes at a home for sale - as a very slippery slope. Are homes with "pasts" stigmatized if no one learns of their past? From the appraisal side, this could also get sti... 02/07/2023

While it's not last spring, the 2023 spring market is underway in Atlanta. This market, especially the northern suburbs, snapped out of the winter slumber in a pretty robust way.Successful Atlanta Home BuyersIf the target isn't know, it can't be hit. Successful Atlanta home buyers are prepared and focus. The definition of success is known and the preliminary work is done; these buyers move when the right home is found. They work only with experienced agents, have a preapproval letter in hand and have inspectors and other vendors ready to go. And they better...The Atlanta market is much stronger than most, this chart shows list, contract and new listing prices. Overall prices are generally steady, but note the new listings; these tend to attract buyers and we see buyers willing to get cl... 02/03/2023

As homebuyers enter the spring 2023, many are empowered and some are hell bent on regaining control. That's not going to happen around the Greater Atlanta area, there is no impending onslaught of listings. Contingencies are back and agents better refresh themselves about solving home inspection issues. This is going to be one of the biggest challenges as markets return to balance.Home Inspection IssuesStart at the beginning, are there legitimate home inspection issues? Every home, especially older existing ones, suffer from deferred maintenance. Buyers and agents can see obvious issues, account for that in price. Consider what's normal and to be expected. Best advice might be:Code issues should be corrected. The caveat here should be obvious, consider codes appropriate for when the home... 01/27/2023

Home flipping is never going away and the Atlanta area remains at the top for real estate "investors". HGTV cures everything in just 22 minutes and no one ever loses money. PT Barnum would be proud because shows like that encourage people to think it's easy. It's not and most people fail horribly and lose lots of money.One of the most common issues that broadsides unsuspecting investors (and normal home buyers) is mold. It's a hot button and it's everywhere - naturally. Not all mold is dangerous but the public perception has been shaped to make it so. Common sense is always in fashion; it's best to take things one step at a time.How much mold is too much mold? Simple question but it depends on who is answering it. This video was shot in an investor owned home in Atlanta. While it's cert... 01/21/2023

Brick is a beautiful siding material. It's durable, maintenance free and it doesn't lie. With zero flexibility, if something is out of whack, the brick will tell you. So what do we have here?What we have is something that's very common, a lintel that is sagging. Across that garage door opening, window or any opening with brick above it, a lintel is used to support the weight of the brick.  Over time, that weight can cause the lintel to sag.This brick isn't structural, it resets on its own brick ledge and serves as the siding veneer. This short video illustrates this common issue and how to spot areas that have been repaired. The full post on "Why Did This Brick Crack" can be seen by hitting that link.  01/03/2023

Advantages of Owning A Home No HOA - No Homeowners Association FeesThe advantages of owning a home with no HOA or no homeowner’s association are many.  Recently we talked to a client of ours, and he discussed why a subdivision without a homeowner’s association worked so well for him.  Our client was transferred by his company that suddenly downsized. When that happened, he lost his job and position.  Being over 50, he had to find a new employment.  Job opportunities were limited. The jobs he found usually meant a lower pay rate, more hours, was farther away from home, or he had to go back to school out of state for a few weeks to learn the new company culture.  That wasn’t much of an opportunity.  Then it dawned on him. The only viable opportunity was to work for himself, and he could n... 06/26/2019
