Listings that have "Expired" on our Multiple Listing Service!Listings that have "Expired" on our Multiple Listing Service!In our market there are many homes that have been listed by local agents for a certain time period and have not "Sold". The expired home owners are discouraged when their homes "expires". They wanted their homes to sell so that they could go on with their plans. Was there something wrong with their homes? Did the agent not advertise the listing correctly? What happened!Many times there is nothing wrong with the house. What I find is there are a few factors that MUST be correct before the listing is signed. The agent must take time to get the price correct. The agent must be trained in staging a home and preparing it for sale. The home must be listed for the correct a...

What a wild ride in real estate this year!  It's a buyers market right now and now is the time to get a new home.  There are many beautiful homes available with builders and they are bringing you incentives to buy their home!  So if you are in a position to move, grab your realtor and get out there!  Teresa and I are trained in negotiating for you and will work fairly and ethically for the best deal.  National Association of Realtors President, Pat V. Combs, says homes continue to be a good investment, especially since owners typically stay in their homes for up to 6 years.Recent mortgage companies going out of business lately will slow sales down temporarily, but the market will turn itself around and stabilize pricing trends in many local markets.  And next year is election year!Most ...

Market conditions in Cumming, Georgia!I shopped many subdivisions recently in Cumming, Georgia that were in the price range of high $300,000's to mid $500,000's to look for what people were buying. Some of the most important features people were buying are 5 bedrooms with one bedroom and full bath on main (usually for households with children), all the kitchens had granite counter-tops, wood floors, keeping rooms (or screened porches), three car garages and media rooms. The over 50 crowd tend to go to master on main, high end kitchen with some painted cabinets and low upkeep yards.  Most subdivisions that had higher sales were swim communities. Elaborate molding packages, coffer ceilings and some 8 foot doors were also popular.  Teresa Johnson & Associates; RE/MAX Greater; Serving the M...

The 2007 CRCT (Criterion Referenced Competency Tests) scores show that more than 90% of Forsyth County students are scoring at or above grade level.  Big Creek Elementary and Mashburn Elementary were recognized as high performing schools with 100% of their fifth grade students passing the English / Language Arts and Math tests.  Silver City Elementary fifth graders had a perfect CRCT score in Social Studies.South Forsyth Middle and Riverwatch Middle demonstrated perfect pass rates in Social Studies.  They almost doubled their "exceed expectations" on all subjects when compared to Georgia CRCT state averages.We are very pleased with our Forsyth County schools - they are definitely directing much attention to families interested in relocating to Cumming, Alpharetta (Forsyth) and Suwanee. ...

Flyers sign lockbox, homes.com, realtor.com, private websites. craigslist and 15 other internet sites and other things I have forgot to mention.I would love any good suggestions out here.Thanks,

Well, I wrote a blog with the title "HELP", do you think anyone responded to it?  NO, is the answer, I did it just to see if people would say something encouraging.  Well, I know the only one that truly helps me is GOD and I am thankful for HIM everyday.  I really did not need "HELP" like I said I was just seeing who would have some words of encouragement.Well, I have a listing  tomorrow and then another listing on Monday afternoon.  Now, I look forward to them selling quick!  Have an awesome weekend everyoneCindy
