 I once showed a house that was so full of clutter that the buyers left and never realized there was a full basement. The "stuff" distracted them from seeing the home's full layout and the potential sale was lost. A few years ago, another reasonably priced home sat silently in a very hot seller's market with lots of activity, but 0 offers. The sellers were collectors and buyers were so intrigued by the collectibles they would ask me questions like, "Was there a bedroom on the main floor?" or "Where was the laundry room?" and "Did we see the backyard?" Once the sellers moved out and removed the items, the home sold right away.   A hot market can potentially make sellers complacent because homes generally sell very well. But, as we all know, seller's markets don't last forever. As we pote...

If you are a new home owner in Georgia, you may be eligible for a special property tax exemption in Georgia, called the homestead exemption, and I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the filing procedures required to take advantage of it. As the new owner of a home in 2020 you must apply for this exemption – it is not automatic. The homestead exemption provides the homeowner a reduced taxable property value provided that: 1) The home is occupied by the homeowner on January 1, 2020 and 2) The homeowner applies for the homestead exemption in the county where the property is located.  The deadline to file for homestead exemption in most Georgia counties is April 1, 2020. I encourage you to contact your local county tax commissioner or tax assessor’s office or visit their w...

Blairsville, GA  was recently named one of the Top Ten Vacation Spots in the Georgia Mountains  because of course, Blairsville, GA is an awesome town!  Here's what Trips to Discover had to say about one of my favorite places: At the very tip-top of the state you’ll find Blairsville, which also houses the highest point in Georgia, Brasstown Bald. From here you can even see into other states, and it’s an ideal place to drink in the specific foliage and landscape of the area. Vogel State Park’s unbeatable natural wonders such as mirroring lakes and cascading waterfalls draw loads of campers and hikers every year—don’t worry, there’s enough room to spread out to experience much-needed seclusion.
