Tuesday, October 16th marked the opening of the first phase of a "remake" of Peachtree Road in Buckhead. I attended the ribbon cutting in front of the Intercontinental Hotel Buckhead. Of course, it's a beautiful hotel, and a great place for such an event to take place! They served everyone champagne right on the sidewalk (probably won't happen again anytime soon!) and hosted a reception for everyone.It was a "Who's Who" in Buckhead, Atlanta and even the State of Georgia. Pictured here from the left is Scotty Green, Executive Director of the Buckhead Community Improvement District, Buckhead Coalition President Sam Massell, Mayor Shirley Franklin, David Allman, Chairman of the Buckhead CID and Harold Linnenkohl, Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner (who retires in one month!)...

 National home builder builds little house for big cause This summer, Ryland Homes started thinking on a little bit of a "smaller" scale as members from its Atlanta regional office put their experience building dream homes into building The Giddy-Up General Store for HomeAid Atlanta's Project Playhouse.  Inspired by the Old West, the 8 X 10 playhouse will be one of seven displayed at the Mall of Georgia this fall and auctioned in a Mini-Mansion Fundraiser on Saturday, October 20.  Guests enter The Giddy-Up General Store through its double front doors, which resemble doors from Wild West salons. Western themes adorn the outside of the barn-like structure, including lantern lighting fixtures and a double horse stall, where little cow boy and girls can saddle up. Inside, working windows al...

 Warren Buffet: " Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful"Now is the time to be greedy when it comes to buying that Lake Home you've been wanting, especially in Georgia and surrounding states. This area is experiencing a drought, the kind of which we only see every hundred years.Lake Lanier is 17 feet below normal conditions and many of the docks are completely dry and not even close to the water. The state is on a severe water conservation plan and it's in the news just about every day. So why buy now? Because many people can't see beyond the current conditions. With real estate in general down for the year and interest rates at a good rate, you may just want to see the deals that are out there.Buy the house now.....wait for the boat later.

 As a buyer, one thing that you need to be aware of is your (future) commitment to your neighborhood and its HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION. Many subdivisions around the country charge either monthly, but more frequently, annually fees for living in the subdivision.Find out from your agent if there is an annual cost to live in the area. Also, see what the cost is and what it covers. Sometimes the fee may appear high, but it could cover the cost of the neighborhood pool and/or tennis courts. It usually also covers maintenace of the common areas. Sometimes it even covers trash service or lawn care.If you are the buyer, there should be an addendum to your contract, showing that you are aware that there is a Home Owners Association, that you know your obligations, and that you will abide with the ...

As an experienced Atlanta real estate agent, I have a saying I use when I go on a listing appointment.  It is easy to spot a home that was purchased without a buyers agent or an experienced Atlanta buyers agents.  The value test of what you puchased will be found out when you go to resell it!  I wonder how many Atlanta home owners are wondering if they did the right thing buying a new home from the builder without having any buyers representative or an Atlanta buyers agents repesenting their interests.  Are they having second thoughts on did they get the home at the best possible price? Did they purchase the home on the best possible terms?  Was everything disclosed?  Did the agent receive any bonus above the commission for selling you the home?  This is actually a quite common scenario...

Last week I received an email from Bruce Whitehouse, Fire Chief for Corona de Tucson Fire District in Vail, AZ he wrote asking me about the water shortages.  I responded to his email and we have had correspondence since.  I thought it was a good question and was surprised that someone out in Arizona would be concerned and ask about it so I figured it was blog-worthy material...Officials in Atlanta are warning residents to conserve water.  Recent reports show that if the drought continues at the current rate, Lake Lanier has been reduced to a level that can serve the area for three to four months.  Lake Lanier provides water for one-third of the residents of Georgia, not to mention the many communities dependent on Lake Lanier for power.  That translates to more than 3 million metro Atla...

 There have been lots of rumors about Google starting their own cell phone service. Also lots of rumors of how it would work and what the cost would be...and of course, why is Google so intrigued.There is one company in Brittain that is providing FREE CELL SERVICE. It's called BLYK. BLYK is targetting the heaviest users of cell phones...the 16-24 crowd. The catch is that you have to listen to a COMMERCIAL AD that is played over the phone line.Would you be willing to listen to a commercial/ad to get rid of your monthly cell bills? Read more if interested...For info on BLYK - Click Here

In the Atlanta area, one thing that has changed in the way we do business is that more than ever it is critical to determine the motivation level of Atlanta home sellers, and the financial qualifications of Atlanta home buyers.  It is one thing to list a home in a really great market gambling that someone will buy it, it is just a matter of time.  Thinking like that will rationalized listing the home at a slightly higher than market value waiting for a particular buyer.  Time was on our side.  It was the same thing with Atlanta home buyers,  Sometimes you could pass on asking too many qualifications, and making a pest of yourself and chance losing the buyer.  You don't want to ask too many questions in a really hot market!  But times have really changed, and it seems as if there aren't ...

Yes, some of you may have read from my good AR friend Julie Neerings about my recent Birthday experience. I have never been to the opera, and quite frankly, had no interest in it. I want to be able to understand what the people are singing about, etc. hence I can take Broadway plays for days! But it was time for ME to have some culture!   This picture does the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre no justice whatsoever! It's totally awesome, and certainly what Atlanta needed....even if it IS in Cobb County! But we won't hold that against anyone! It's an easy location to get to, right off of I-285 and I-75...so you can get to and from it from anywhere! When we arrived at the Centre, we pulled into the parking garage. Little did I remember that Mercedes Benz USA is the official automobile of...

ATLANTA is always in the news - especially the real estate news. And once again - Atlantans rejoice - it's good news.In an article posted on Yahoo! Real Estate (written for CNNMoney.com), Atlanta is listed as one of the "TEN CITIES READY TO BOUNCE BACK".With real estate across the country getting scarier, Atlanta's real estate market is projected to already be expecting improvement. According to the article, what all ten cities have in common is their relative affordability, which - in a time of bursting bubbles and sharply declining prices - is priceless in itself. And the projections are indeed a reason for those who live here in Atlanta - and those who are planning to move here - to smile:Projected median sales prices for single family homes in Atlanta:Q1 2008: $177,750 Q4 2009: $187...

"It's 95 Degrees, 0% Humidity with No Chance of Rain:  All Across America Today"Imagine if this was the forecast you heard each day in Atlanta....that you can expect the same weather as every other city across the country.  Granted...we all know we need more rain to combat our drought, but our weather here is impacted by many variables, from the jet streams to the path of the latest hurricane.  So, if you wouldn't believe a weather forecast that was the same for all cities, then why would you believe a real estate forecast that is the same for all cities?   I speak with current clients and those who are considering buying or selling a home in Atlanta almost daily, and time and time again they express their concern about the market based on what the news media is telling them.  But what ...
