Welcome to beautiful North Georgia, where good wholesome living comes natural. For years Northern Georgia held host to several quiet country towns outside the City of Atlanta. In recent years, those same quiet towns have grown along with the City of Atlanta and the State. The good thing is they were able to maintain most of their character and charm that make them attractive and desirable to live in to begin with. From the major attractions of a city like Atlanta to the foothill country and to the North Georgia Mountains, the grace and beauty of the land and its people make North Georgia a wonderful place to live.Over 15 years ago, David and Leonard Moody started a company that has grown to be one of the most revered in North Metropolitan Atlanta.

We recently placed a property under contract in Alpharetta that clearly demonstrates the power of proper pricing.In my CMA (Competitive Market Analysis), I wrote the following in the comments:  List price to sale price ratios are generally between 93% and 103% for this subdivision for 3 bed 2.5 bath homes. In proper condition, I believe this house will sell for approximately $227,000, seller will contribute between $3,000 and $5,000 toward buyer closing costs, and the days on market will be around 45 - 60 days.The only thing we got wrong was the marketing time.  In fact, we recieved our first offer within 5 days of the listing going active.  In 20 days we were under contract at EXACTLY the numbers I predicted in the CMA.So what happened?  How did we do that?  There were two factors:Firs... 07/10/2007

The Fairways of Canton, being developed by Newnan-based Rocky Roquemore Golf Course Architects, is scheduled to open in 2007 as a city-owned public course.

"We made sure of that when discussions were first initiated two years ago. Courses of this style and nature are typically private." Garrett said the developers have agreed to put up the entire $6 million expense to build the course, and over the next 10 years, Canton will reimburse $3 million through parks and recreation impact... 11/18/2006

The senior housing project that was abandoned while under construction a year ago, is finally going to be completed.  The project sits off Marietta Hwy and Waleska Street, and has been sitting there growing mold for almost a year now.  I have fielded questions by many clients over the last 6 months on why the building has not been finished yet.  Now I finally have answers!  The buiding was purchased by Jasper-based Etowah River Group LLC, and are turning the site into apartment homes.  Another posititive note is that 4 acres will still be included in the Etowah River Greenway, which includes Heritage Park upriver and across from the developmet at Waleska Street.  The complex will also be located across the street from the YMCA in Canton.  The buyers have both said they are confident in ... 10/18/2006

Canton GA Real Estate is still going strong.  The huge influx of buyers coming from Florida is still very common. The ony probem with Canton these days are the limited supply of lower priced housing. Not everyone can afford these 400k houses.  Don't get me wrong, the constant high end new home building going on in Canton is great, but I wish we could have some lower end new construction besides townhomes.  When talking to my developer clients, they have all made it clear to me that land in Cherokee County is so expensive per acre, that smaller high density tracts are the only way to go. If they are going to do .5 acre tracts or more, the homes have to be 400k plus. 10/13/2006
