FREE Real-time Market Data!
In the market to buy a home? Thinking of selling?
Ask yourself this: How's the market in my neighborhood? We've all heard about the Bubble. But is it popping? Wouldn't you like to know before you buy?
Ask yourself another question: What kind of home can you afford in the town you want to be in? What's it like? How big is it? How old is it? How will you know a good deal when you find it?
These are the types of questions that my Market Update reports help you answer. Some people like to see just one report for their town to get a feel for the market as they're starting their search. Others like to subscribe for weekly updates for the duration of their home search. Why wait to see if the deals pass you by?
What can I learn from Lucia Brooks' Market Updates?
At-a-glance market conditions
Each week we provide a snapshot of the market. The Real-time Market Profile(TM) is the most up-to date market information available. The Profile shows you not only pricing and market numbers, but also trends in those numbers. Where are prices heading? It's right there on page 1.
(Sample Data)
All Market Update data is accompanied by written commentary. Not just a pile of numbers, we analyze the data and organize comments that help you understand it. The commentary highlights the So What? of the data.
Watch the market in meaningful segments
It's one thing to know that the median price for Santa Clara, California is $950,000. But what if you learned that 25% of the homes are currently priced around $825,000 (and climbing) but at the top end of the market, homes are priced a little under $1,500,000 and demand is weak? By breaking the market into quartiles, we help you find the market information that is most meaningful to you.
Real-time data and smoothed market trends
The charts in my Market Updates usually display this week's value (7-day sample) and a smoothed rolling average of the previous 90-days. This gives you the ability to see what the most current data says and a visible indication of the longer-term trends. Note in the following chart how the 90-day price line has reached a crest and is starting to decline.
Complete statistics give you the upper hand
More than just price numbers, my Market Updates track inventory levels (number of properties listed for sale), Days on Market, value measures like Price per Square foot, and quantitative measures like property size, number of bedrooms, age, etc. The collection of data helps you understand what you get for your money, where things are headed and how to make the best decisions.
My Market Updates also provide a proprietary index, The Market Action IndexTM that gives you an at-a-glance answer to the question, "How's the market?" The higher the Index goes, the hotter the market. Like a thermometer, the measurable scales goes from zero to over 100. We set a threshold at an index value at 30 above which demand is high enough to call a "Seller's Market" and below which is a "Buyer's Market." Sometimes demand climbs really high, properties stay on the market for only a matter of days, in those instances you may see an index value over 100. In the following chart, we measure the Market Action Index in the market's four quartiles. Notice that the First and Second Quartiles (the most expensive properties on the market) have a lower Market Action Index than the rest of the market. Sometimes we'll see a relatively robust market except for Quartile 1, where the top of the market is too expensive and people aren't buying.
These insights and more are covered in every Market Update. This detail is not available from other sources. The insights could save you a fortune. Download your FREE Market Update today and put yourself among the most informed in the market.

Premier Service® Commitment:
How would your real estate experience improve if you had a skilled professional guiding and advising you every step of the way? But with Premier Service, GMAC Real Estate's comprehensive business philosophy, we've gone right to the source. You've told us that buying and selling a home can be stressful, time-consuming and sometimes overwhelming. We want to change that. The Premier Service pledge of service excellence means that GMAC Real Estate's professional team of Sales Associates assume three important roles: 
All too often, customer service programs are created in cushy conference rooms, far removed from the people for whom the programs are designed. Those efforts often miss the mark because they aren't drawn from the group that matters most: the customers.
I will be your...
TRUSTED ADVISOR - As your Trusted Advisor, I will use my specialized knowledge and training to help make sense of the complex home buying and selling process. I will listen to your goals, and recommend the right resources to help you reach them.
SKILLED NEGOTIATOR - As your Skilled Negotiator, I will effectively manage the buying and selling process to help you achieve your goals. I will be committed to helping you get the best possible price, with the most favorable terms, in the shortest period of time.
EXPERT FACILITATOR - As your Expert Facilitator, I will help make things happen for you. I will work to put sales together that stay together. I will offer you outstanding customer service, my personal expertise, and a range of quality real estate resources, be it relocation, mortgage or financial services.
When we meet, I will...
Conduct counseling and information sessions to identify your needs and goals and to plan a property search.
Offer to arrange pre-qualifying or pre-approval meeting with a lender to determine affordability range and improve negotiating position at the point of offer.
Commit to priority availability for meeting your needs and schedule for property research and showings.
Provide access to community and property information.
Complete a market search to identify properties consistent with your needs and price range.
Prepare a written Competitive or Comparative Market Analysis for you prior to you making an offer.
Obtain and review with you the seller's written property history and disclosure statement prior to the Purchase Offer.
Prepare a written Purchase Offer on the property of your choice reflecting your price and terms.
Provide counsel and negotiating assistance.
Provide a list of building and pest inspectors prior to the Offer to Purchase.
Assist you in monitoring the status and satisfaction of contract contingencies.
Accompany you on walk through property inspection before closing, if provided for in the contract.
Contact you after the closing to assure the satisfactory completion of all service details.
I will also provide you with a Quality Service Assurance Survey® card that you can complete and turn into an independent tracking organization when our transaction is complete, that way we are both reminded that my performance during the entire transaction is being reported on.
I will put all of these commitments in writing and pledge to uphold each and every one.
I do all of this just to make it easy for you to trust me and assure you they you are getting the highest level of service available anywhere in the real estate industry!

Marius Povian (Photo Taken at Closing)
Marius was referred to me by one of my past clients. He had a home that he tried to sell with two other agents before calling me. Those agents were unable to get his home sold, I got the job done! Here is an email I received from Mr. Povian.
Lucia,
I am very happy with the service you provided with the sale of my home. You completed everything you said you would according to your marketing plan. I really liked the fact that you held so many open houses, I think that really helped in getting my house sold! I also appreciate your ability to negotiate, thank you for getting us the price we wanted.
I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy with your performance and I will work with you in the future and refer you to my family and friends.
Marius Povian
Please let me know if you would like to speak to Mr. Povian about how I handled the sale of his home for yourself. I am sure I can arrange for you to speak with him.

Amanda Gibbs (Photo Taken at Closing)
Amanda was referred to me by her brother, I helped Amanda's brother sell their last home and buy a new one. When the time came for Amanda and her husband Craig to move up to a new home, they talked to her brother and gave me a call. Here is what Amanda had to say about her experience with me as her real estate professional:
"Lucia is a wonderful agent. She is very efficient and great to work with. She took care of all of our issues without me ever having to worry. I would recommend Lucia to all my family and friends. Thank you so much for all you did and I can't wait to work with you in the future."
Let me know if you would like to ask Amanda about my level of service and professionalism, I am sure she wouldn't mind talking to you.
Rebecca Classon (Photo Taken at Closing)
Rebecca was relocating from out of town. I got to work right away finding her a great new home here in North Metro Atlanta. Here are the kind words she had for me at the closing.
“Lucia returned my phone call right away. She met with me that weekend and showed me several houses that I was interested in. When I decided on my house, she helped me find a mortgage broker, kept me up to date on everything going on, helped me find an inspector and at a discount. She was with me throughout the whole process which was important since this was my first purchase".
Let me know if you would like to speak to Rebecca, I am sure I can arrange for you to ask her about my services for yourself.
Diedra, Allen & Jemeya Joe (Photo Taken at Closing)
The Joe family found my website while they were still living in South Africa. At first they were hesitant to work with any real estate agent. I stayed in touch with them and sent them information on available homes via email and spoke with them over the phone many times. I helped them find a great new home here in North Metro Atlanta and they sent me the following note via email after the closing.
Dear Lucia,
We are now settling in the home that you assisted us to buy and we are more than happy with your recommendation. My wife and myself were very impressed with your knowledge of the different areas within Atlanta, your prompt response to our queries and the time frame within which you identified the house that we finally bought (less than a week). Furthermore, your assistance with our water, electricity and gas connections was not taken for granted and once more we are greatful for the fact that you always went an extra mile to satisfy our relocation needs. That indeed softened our relocation burden.
We can and will recommend you to any potential buyer. Please feel free to use us as a reference.
Kind Regards,
Allen Joe
Let me know if you would like to speak to these great folks in person, I am sure I can arrange it!
