Holiday Lights in Powder Springs range from classy to Southern tacky.  What's your pleasure?  On a balmy 65 degree December evening we hopped in the car to take in the sights of our Powder Springs neighborhood.It's a true Southern Christmas when you can take in the sights with the car windows down and just a light sweater.You can easily find homes decorated for the holidays in just about any neighborhood and you never know when you will stumble across something truly...HO HO HOLY COW!What could be more special than a group of neighbors sharing a tangle of extension cords to create a light display that can be seen from space? Perhaps something a little more traditional is what you are looking for... Downtown Powder Springs historic district is a lovely place to take in the beautiful arch...

Understanding a Purchase & Sale Agreement Once you locate a home you would like to purchase; the next step is to have your Agent submit "an offer" in writing on your behalf to the seller.  Important things to be aware of before your offer is presented. Time limit for your offer- usually 48 hrs is sufficient for the seller to review your offer & respond to it. However; speak with your Agent to determine what is reasonable in your situation. Earnest Money- the amount you will deposit in good faith should your offer result in a binding contract. You will have a certain amount of days from the binding agreement date to submit your earnest money. Who will hold the earnest money?- It's usually held by a 3rd party & credited to you at closing. A good idea is to have your Agents' Broker hold it...

There are so many misconceptions about real estate agents.  Some of the most prevalent and disconcerting ones are that we don't work, we don't work hard, we don't play an important role in the transaction once the "house is found" and we're overpaid. I wanted to make a public accounting for my time on an average day and give my fellow AR members a chance to do the same. So let's just kick this off at 7:15 am when I started checking emails and following up on outstanding documentation that I am trying to round up from various sources for the buyer clients that are currently under contract.  Also, I needed to send an email to the agent who showed my listing yesterday to ask for feedback.  I will bet you a dollar to a donut, she won't respond.  Around 8:00 am I spent time on marketing, blo...

Today I'm playing catch up in advance of a busy weekend packed with client appointments.  Laundry is underway, vacuuming and other household chores are on the schedule, an overdue grocery run is in the making (the dog ate the last of her food this morning)... I also have to keep up with emails, I'm waiting on an electrical permit to get pulled for an inspection on a HUD home.  I'm in the negotiation period for another buyer and we are anticipating an accepted offer today, so I'll be on the lookout for that as well. We have a beautiful weekend on tap in Powder Springs, GA and I am looking forward to the rising temperatures.  Warmer weather will be welcome for my working weekend. I hope you all enjoy the day!   Here's an updated video of Tango from last Thursday...

From the time a home goes under contract until the day that we all go to closing, time is of the essence. The time lines in the contract are our guide.  Inspections and contingencies and the closing itself are pre-determined on the binding agreement date.  The binding agreement;  the date on which all parties are in agreement on the terms of the contract.  It starts the clocking ticking on all of duties to be performed by the buyer, seller, listing agent and selling agent. While agents, buyers and sellers may work together at all hours of the day and night PRIOR to the binding agreement date, the other people involved in helping the transaction get to closing AFTER THE BINDING AGREEMENT, DO NOT! Yes, you may be able to reach your loan officer after normal business hours, but I can assur...

Appraised value may not be the same as PERCEIVED value.  It's a difficult concept for homeowners to comprehend when it comes time to list their home for sale. Yes, being able to predict the appraised value with a high degree of certainty is very important when it's time to sell your home.  Appraised value is almost exclusively influenced by COMPARABLE RECENT SALES.  Yes, you read that correctly, SALES, closed transactions.  Active listings and under contract listings are NOT comparable SALES. A comparable property is defined as one that is similar in age, style, square footage, lot size and condition in an area that is PROXIMATE to the subject property.  Sales that are most recent and closest to the subject property and are most similar are given the MOST WEIGHT on the appraisal. While ...

 While previewing a property this morning, I had an epiphany. That's a pretty significant word. There are no religious connotations in this word today. My epiphany was a new way of understanding and conducting my business in a way that is MORE ME, less rank and file. My path in life is targeted to becoming my most authentic self.  Without pretense.  Without worry, stress or angst that I will fail.  How can one fail when telling the truth of who one is? (Yes, I realize there are ways that you can fail socially with a no holds barred attitude, see Dexter on Netflix for an example) The epiphany that happened this morning charted a new business philosophy. It's time to break with tradition, leave the pack behind and blaze my own trail. I cannot do what everyone else is doing, because I am ...

Today is the first day of sunshine here in the Atlanta metro in over a week.  Feels like a month! We've been covered by clouds, fog, drizzle and COLD temperatures for many days. Finally, this morning, the sun is shining! It's such a relief.  Although temperatures are still cool, these rays of sunshine will make it more bearable. We're going to have a warming period over the next few days with temperatures rising into the mid 50s over the weekend. I am looking forward to getting my bike out and taking it for a spin on the Silver Comet Trail at Powder Springs.  I'll still have to bundle up but the thought of being able to get out and stretch my legs is so appealling! Today, I'll be taking Tango out to stretch his legs.  Should be interesting.  The cool sunny weather should have him feelin...
