Living in Atlanta during pollen seasonis no coughing matter!  The area is known for it's rolling terrain, Azaleas, Dogwoods, Ornamental Cherry, Wisteria and manicured lawns. Homes along some of those famed streets; Habersham, Tuxedo, W. Paces, Spalding and Ashford-Dunwoody are breathtaking during this time of year. The Atlanta area doesn't boast bus loads of "leaf-peepers" but no other part of the country can compare to us during Spring.  Callaway Gardens, just south of Atlanta is the world's largest Azalea display during these pollen-ridden weeks, but what a fantastic sight to behold! I recently read that there were other cities in the US which had a higher incident of allergies, but I doubt any other city could reach a pollen count of 5,000 on a regular basis; 100 is considered extre... 04/08/2011

If you are in the market to purchase a home, I'm sure that your real estate agent is telling you that it's a great time to sell your home (even at a slight loss), so you can move up to your next home.   It's one thing when the advice comes from someone who might be a teeny-tiny bit biased (smile), but in a recent article from the Wall Street Journal, experts agree that NOW IS THE TIME!

In order to be 'Aggressive' The seller has to be as committed as the Listing Realtor. How committed to breakfast is the chicken versus the Pig??? This is no market for chickens!!! Aggressive marketing is pricing 5% ahead of the market and taking multiple offers!!! Keeping the price the same and expecting the Realtor to pay for more media only confirms with more people that the seller is the highest bidder on their own home!! Feedback is crucial no matter how frank, this has to be passed to the seller asap. 'Let's wait and see' is not an aggressive marketing tactic. Virtual tours are virtual showings. If you home has not more than 10 showings or an offer in  a 2 week period you market price is not aggressive enough.  It is better for a seller to have contract offers they can turn down o... 03/25/2010

  This should be posted in all schools and work places Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world. Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a ... 03/25/2010

For those of you who have experienced, first hand, the painful process of a short sale, you'll be happy to know, starting April 5th 2010, this process will be streamlined. How does that effect you? If you're considering doing a short sale, you may want to review your qualifications. This new directive will provide incentive for banks and investors to work with you on the short sale.

Market Comment - Week of March 1st, 2010 Mortgage bond prices rebounded last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. The majority of the data came in bond friendly. Weaker than expected consumer confidence data Tuesday helped mortgage interest rates improve. The Treasury auctions showed decent foreign demand. The gross domestic product price deflator component showed a smaller price increase than expected while the consumer spending component also came in weaker than expected. Existing home sales fell a surprising 7.1%, considerably weaker than the expected 1% increase. Rates fell about 3/4 of a discount point for the week.The employment report Friday morning will take center stage this week. Until then, look for the PCE inflation data to set the tone for the beginning of the week a... 03/01/2010
