FORECLOSURE FOR SALE If you are in the market for a foreclosed home, you are at the right place to get the help you need in Georgia. Our experienced foreclosure specialist John Reinhardt will help you buy a foreclosed home in the Atlanta Metro Area, market place. HUD, VA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and many banks offer excellent buys on foreclosed real estate in Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, Dekalb, Cherokee counties. Real Estate is expensive in the Atlanta Georgia & surrounding suburbs. John & his team always want to get the very best value for our buyers. One way to get good value is to buy a foreclosed home. John Reinhardt is specially trained and experienced selling VA, HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac foreclosures and we'll make sure that you get the very best house for your money. HUD and VA homes are purchased through licensed real estate agents and their approved brokers. We have access to all homes. HUD and VA have a strict bidding procedure and the bids are opened on a specific day of the month. The highest bid will get the award. However, HUD does have a minimum amount that they will accept. So, extremely low bids will not succeed and will lead to disappointment. Bank foreclosures are negotiated by you, with our help, and the listing agents or bank. FORECLOSED HOMES ARE PRICED TO SELL. Most foreclosed homes are priced at fair market value. However, VA and HUD homes are often priced below area comparables. Furthermore, you may, through the bid process, be able to get a home at below market value if you shop carefully and use an experienced agent to help. We can help. We can also help you by giving you the comparable pricing information for the community to help you make a good pricing decision when you prepare your bid. You will need to get pre-qualified before making a bid and we'll help. We work with lenders who are familiar with the procedures and will prepare the pre-qualification document before you begin your home search. There is no fee for this service. YOU CAN BUY A HUD HOME. Anyone with the cash or ability to obtain a mortgage loan can buy a foreclosed home. You will have to qualify for the mortgage as with any home purchase, but we'll help you with the financing also. Often, the cash needed to buy a HUD or VA foreclosure is less than you would need to buy a home offered for sale by a non-foreclosure homeowner. FORECLOSED HOMES ARE LOCATED EVERYWHERE. All over and around the Metro Atlanta area. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac foreclosed homes can be found in prices of up $150,000 to over $300,000. Other bank foreclosures can be found in the luxury priced homes. Foreclosures can be found in all geographical areas and in most communities. Not all areas all of the time, but, a wide search for homes will produce a variety of communities in which you can find foreclosed homes. HUD and VA foreclosed homes can be condominiums, town homes and single family homes and are located everywhere. FORECLOSED HOMES CAN BE A BARGAIN! HUD homes are sold "as is" and HUD does not make repairs or offer warranties. However, the HUD homes are usually the best priced and offer the best value. If you are willing to invest some elbow grease in your home, you can get a good buy and make repairs and redecorate to make the foreclosed property a real home. Most bank foreclosures are in "move in" condition. Many will need cleaning up or cosmetic upgrading, but your home will be worth a lot more than you paid for it when you have put your decorating touches to work. VA will make some repairs and VA foreclosures are generally in better condition than HUD homes. WE'LL PREPARE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK. John Reinhardt will prepare the bid for you if you select a HUD or VA foreclosure. Bank foreclosures, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac foreclosures are purchased just like any real estate. We'll work with you to get the best buy for the home you select. Often the details of closing help and terms and conditions are as important to a buyers as the price. We'll consider all of these needs when we prepare your offer. If you are awarded a HUD or VA bid, we'll be notified within 48 hours. Settlement will be scheduled. Settlement will take place in 30-60 days during which your loan will be processed and you can begin making moving preparations. NEVER A FEE TO MY BUYERS! We are paid by HUD, VA or the selling banks. We do not charge buyers anything for the home search, document preparation, financing assistance, or settlement procedures. We are paid by the sellers at settlement.

March 2009 Market Report Mountain Park subdivision
City of Mountain Park
For more than 25 years before incorporation in July 1927, Mountain Park was comprised largely of summer cottages of Atlanta's elite. Some of these cottages had, and still have, special names including The Buzzard's Roost, Rossier Holler, The Owl's Nest, Park-Ur-Carcass, Paradise, Buckeye Ridge, Shack-Toe-In and Nuth-in-Much. More recent residents have continued the tradition of naming their homes, too.
In 1932, only three families lived in Mountain Park year round. Mayor "Charlie" Johnson operated Mountain Park's only business, "The Stand," a sundry store located at 101 Mountain Park Road. In 1971, Charlie sold "The Stand" to LaNell Cofer who continued to operate it until she converted it into her private residence.
The city's unique beauty was enhanced when Lake Cherful was built next to its first lake, Lake Garret. Lake Cherful was constructed in 1951 over Oscar Burrell's cornfield, which was located in both Cherokee and Fulton counties -- thus the name Lake Cherful. The small white house where Oscar Burrell lived still exists on the Cherokee county lakeside.
Electricity was available in Mountain Park by the late 1930s. In 1960, Cobb County started supplying water to the city and natural gas became available in 1968. Nearly 90 full-time families resided here and, in the early 1970s, the residents were asked to voluntarily remove their outhouses. During that time the Civic Building, built by the Civic Club with the help of private donations, was nearing completion. In 1976, Joyce Ayers became the first woman to head a municipality in Georgia when she became mayor of Mountain Park. The city's Volunteer Fire Department was established during her term and remains one of the few completely volunteer fire departments in Georgia today.
In the mid 1970s, the Mountain Park Village Green was enlarged using reclaimed land from Lake Garret, which had become shallow due to siltation from real estate development upstream. The original sand bottom swimming pool was replaced in 1977 and, in 1993 the pool house was renovated to include handicapped-accessible facilities. In 1989, Mountain Park became the first municipality in Georgia to begin a recycling program.
More recently, the Mountain Park Improvement Club completed several enhancements to the city in 1997 and 1998, including renovation of the Sunday school pavilion, picnic pavilion and foot bridge over Lake Garret dam.
