Atlanta Real Estate & Homes Info

After reading Broker Bryant's blog about his bridge for sale, it made me think about some things.  Anyone up past midnight has seen these ridiculous ads on TV of the "Magical Real Estate Systems" that will bring millions of dollars to you.  Carlton Sheets and many others like to show you their ma...

Now that Day Light savings time is among us the days are obviously shorter.  With darkness arriving at around 6:30 pm, our property showing window has now decreased.  Accompany that with the lock boxes turning off at 8:00pm instead of 9:00 pm, wrapping showings up by around 7:30, now becomes impo...

I usually don't have a great deal of agent-to-agent contact.  I work from home as much as possible, and am always out in the field much of the day.  When I do find myself at agent gatherings, I always have plenty of stories and ideas to write about.  When you are a "fly on the wall" at agent get-...

I have read some interesting blogs on client follow up.  It seems that most of us agents either do a lot, a little, or none at all.  I would place myself into the middle category.  Every year I always say I am going to do more, but for some reason unfortunately it never turns out that way.  Makin...
