Just 3 blocks from Atlanta’s very popular Grant Park and walking distance from Turner Field, is our Summerhill Home of the Day. A recent price reduction of $50,000 makes this 4 bedroom, 3 and half bath home a great value for in town living.

Poncey Highland Home of the Day

Every now and then I walk into a home and know right away that this place is something special. 650 Bonaventure is certainly one of these homes and with every room I entered I was more and more convinced that someone special needs to own this home.

Built in 1910, our Poncey Highland Home of the Day was the original home of Atlanta’s Griffith School of Music. Absolutely beaming with character, this home is on the National Historic Register and is original down to the claw foot bathtubs and antique light switches.

Plate glass transoms and dark coffered ceiling beams bring you back to the early 1900’s when these features were functional and not just fashionable like so many homes today. And you can be sure this home has been impeccably cared for.

Thursday, August 20th, 2009 at 2:00pm. 632 Views, 0 Comments.

Just one step into the foyer of 5690 Commons Lane and it’s clear this Home of the Day is anything but common. Every detail has been carefully considered including a custom kitchen, two separate stair cases, three fire places and much much more. A ¾ acre wooded lot complements well this sprawling 5,400 square feet work of art.

With 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half bathrooms, this is one of the largest floor plans in the neighborhood and is in immaculate condition. After a recent price reduction our Home of the Day is now listed well below market value and sure to sell quickly.

Commons Lane is located in the much sought after Seven Oaks community of Johns Creek. Excellent schools, private tennis courts and great neighbors are just a few of the reasons people…

Today’s Home of the Day is a custom built New England style traditional just minutes from historic down town Kennesaw. With beautifully refinished hardwoods, 2 brick fireplaces and a private deck facing your own wooded lot, 1773 Timberlake Road will soon make someone a cozy new home.

Pinetree Country Club, Kennesaw State University and McCollum Airport are just a short drive away though you would never know it on this quiet side street. This home also has a spacious unfinished basement that would bring the total living space to a generous 2,700 square feet. And all this for under $165,000 is a great deal for Cobb County.

Greystone at Vinings - Foreclosure Deal of the Year?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009 at 11:40am. 2746 Views, 0 Comments.

The current real estate market has yielded some amazing deals for my buyers at steep discounts to former prices. However, one of the most astonishing drops in value that I have seen is in a luxury condo building in Vinings called the Greystone at Vinings. This building is only a few years old, features a beautiful clubhouse, concierge, pool, wine cellar, and gym. The building is five stories tall with 59 large condos targeting a high-end buyer who needs plenty of space and a great location. It's competing development would be the luxury condos at One Vinings. The majority of the condos in the Greystone sold in 2007 at average pricing around $1.3 million......now you can get one of those same condos for between $200-$300k! Now, I am skeptical that…

Governor Perdue Signs Additional $1,800 Tax Credit for Georgia Buyers

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 at 1:04am. 383 Views, 0 Comments.

Just when it seemed like the flow of government incentives for home buyers was starting to slow down, Governor Sonny Perdue signed into law a new bill authorizing an additional $1,800 tax credit for Georgia home buyers.

By now we’ve all heard about President Obama’s $8,000 Federal Tax Credit for first time home buyers, but the Governor’s latest action applies to anyone purchasing a distressed home in the state of Georgia. This could be a single family home, condominium or townhouse so long as the property was in default or foreclosure prior to March 1, 2009. If the purchase price is under $150,000 then up to 1.2% of sales price will be credited instead of the full $1,800.

The incentives won’t last long though as a time frame of June 1st to November 30th…

Buyer Question: What exactly is a short sale?

Thursday, May 14th, 2009 at 1:35am. 363 Views, 0 Comments.

At a time when the dynamics of real estate seem to change almost weekly a question I often get from clients is “What exactly is a short sale”. While many in the real estate community are familiar with the term, the general public is often unaware of how a short sale works and both its potential pitfalls and benefits for those involved.

The quick definition of a short sale is “a sale of a debt, short of the full debt owed”. Often this comes into play when the mortgage holder on a home allows the owner to sell the home for less than what is owed in order to avoid foreclosure.

For instance, a bank might allow the owner of a $300,000 home to sell it for $250,000 and walk away free and clear of the $50,000 loss. The catch for the seller is that all…

West End Foreclosures Draw Smart Buyers

Thursday, May 7th, 2009 at 3:12pm. 409 Views, 0 Comments.

At about 6pm on Monday evening I received a phone call from an overseas buyer who had spotted a home in West End he just had to have. By 10am the following morning, this 6 bedroom, 2 bathroom house had already received 11 offers and a contract was signed for well above the listed price after only 4 days on the market.

Though heavy competition drove the price above where it started, the listed price was a staggering $240,000 under what it had sold for two years ago.

Historic West End is located just southwest of downtown Atlanta and has seen its share of struggles with mortgage fraud and foreclosures in recent years. However, as investors and first time home buyers alike move into this historic area, neighborhoods are being revitalized and home values…
