If I Can't Sell Your Home, I'll Buy It! | Don't Believe This Lie! - May 28 10:07 PM
A lot of Atlanta home sellers only sell a home every few years, and really do not understand all that is involved.  Ever see some real estate signs that say" I buy homes!" Or "If I Can't Sell Your Home, I'll Buy It?"  Rule #1 Beware - there is no easy and painless way to sell a home!   So deceptive marketing is  really an ethical issue.  A lot of listing agents want to gain your confidence quickly and ...

Apology to Home Seller's - May 15 03:40 PM
It is not uncommon when we are on a listing appointment we meet with irrelevant objections from the seller that have no bearing on price.  More often than not, these are objections that we cannot overcome.  With little or no equity in a home, the listing agent often finds themselves between a rock and a hard place of placating the seller, and telling the truth.  A real estate professionals know all too well that  home prices are ...

I Sold My Home From Active Rain | Active Rain Sells Atlanta Homes | Active Rain Home Sales - Aug 22 01:52 PM
We just sold our home in Atlanta from our Atlanta Real Estate Blog on Active Rain.  An Atlanta home buyer found our listing on the Internet within 2 days of writing a Blog on our own home for sale in Alpharetta, and made an appointment to see the home.
I originally designed the Blog as a real estate flyer in www.Postlets.com and then published it on our Atlanta real estate Blog on Active Rain.  Within 2 days we had ...

Homes are Not Overpriced - They are Priced Wrong! - May 13 10:53 AM
There are a lot of homes for sale in Atlanta, but really there aren't!  A lot of folks think Atlanta home prices are falling; for the most part they are not.  Many Atlanta homes were simply overpriced by inexperienced real estate agents.  Atlanta experienced a 300% increase in the number of real estate agents in the last few years, and most of them have never sold even one home.  In short the inexperience of the agent ...

I Took Some Time off From Active Rain to Sell Some Real Estate! - Jun 30 02:18 AM
Bloggin is one of the best things that has ever happened to me since REMAX CompuServe Forum!  Friendships, brainstorming, networking, an sharing ideas are great! Personally, I've found blogging addictive and almost compulsive, but it has allowed me to attain some new goals.  First of all, I am getting new ideas here all the time, those ideas generate more ideas!  Ideas can lead to implementing new marking strategies, and those can hopefully lead to more closed ...

Alpharetta Georgia is a great place to live! Enjoy What Life Should Be About! - Jun 08 10:01 PM
 
Alpharetta Georgia is a great place to live!  The greatest thing about living in the small southern towns is that you get a chance to envision what it was like to live 30 years ago in a town where things are not so rushed.  That's the way it still is here! Yes there is cable TV, the Internet, but a great way of life is still preserved! Alpharetta Georgia reminds you of a time when people ...

A Piece of Real Estate We All Love or Hate, but Can't Live Without! - Sep 16 10:54 PM

Home Buyer Negotiations: Is There Ever A Good Time To Be In A Backup Situation As A Home Buyer? - Nov 09 05:28 AM
In this changing Real Estate market there are time when backups are common and times when they are not.  Still the fact remains that as a home buyer for real estate, it's rarely a good position to be in as a backup. 
Now that the mortgage restrictions are heavier and ever changing, the number of contracts that fall through is more indictive of an inexperienced agent.  What I mean by that, is that inexperienced agents will ...

What is possible with your real estate website? - Mar 10 07:06 AM
It is interesting to look back on a career in Atlanta real estate, and look at what worked, what didn't, what I would not do again, where did I make money, where did I throw money away, and what I wished I did more of sooner!  The longer I am in real estate the Internet is one of those things that seems to fascinate me more and more.  It is so effective! The more I use ...

Selling Above What You Paid For It | Aversion for Selling at A Loss | Decision Time For Sellers - Sep 22 10:58 PM
I just finished reading several well written real estate articles that explored a reality check for home sellers.  It was quite informative, and compared other periods of peaks in the real estate market in the late 1980's and draws some comparisons to our current situations.  It seems as though a mathematician could easily dispense solutions for homeowners.  The problem is the reluctance of the homeowner to embrace the economist approach.  We also were talking to some ...

Atlanta Homes Sales Comparison Chart for May 2008 - Atlanta Single Family Detached Home Sales - Jun 23 10:50 PM
I created a May 2008 comparison sales chart for Atlanta homes sales (Single Family Detached Homes).  It is always easier to take a look at the bigger picture rather than a single snap shot in time.  I compared May Atlanta home sales to previous May single family home closings and compiled in a chart format.  This chart references only single family detached Atlanta homes sold.  From the peak in Atlanta homes sales in May of 2006 of 6400 to ...

The new statistics have just been released for the city of Roswell homes sales this week.  They are not very good.  To make sense of them I broke down the numbers by city as opposed to MLS areas that are harder to understand.  For the Month of November 2007 there were only 57 Single Family Home Sales.  This is very substantial drop in sales activity.  It must alos be tempered with the reality of all time highs ...

Tax Time - No More Excuses! Atlanta Home Sales Should Pick Up! - Apr 15 09:46 AM
In the years I've been selling Atlanta real estate there is normally a pause in home sales in April.  This year has been beyond sluggish!  Atlanta homesales are way off their norms!  Usually at certain times fo the year, sales slow and then pick up!  I call it the "Spring Bounce!"  April usually represents, Easter (This year it was early) Passover, spring break and tax time!  It is a months where sales in real estate fall off while ...

Leap Year -- that once-every-four-years phenomenon in which February, the red-headed stepchild of the calendar, gets to be almost as long as its cohorts.
No, Leap Years were not just invented to confuse us and make us write March 1 on our checks a day early. It's not the universe's version of April Fool's Day (because then it would occur in April, wouldn't it?)
Leap Years actually exist to keep our calendar working properly, to keep it lined up ...
