  I thought I’d take a moment to talk about short sales.  Most of us have heard this term.  Some of us know what it means.  Many people are in this situation.  There is a lot of misinformation out there about short sales.  Basically, a short sale is when a homeowner owes more for their property than it is worth and needs to sell their home.  You do not need to be behind on your mortgage to do a short sale.  If you find yourself in this situation, the first thing to do is contact your lender.  They will assist you with the process and tell you what steps need to be taken.  The second thing to do is find a real estate agent with short sale expertise.  Will a short sale hurt your credit score? YES!  It is better than a foreclosure?  YES!  If you have a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage, t... 12/22/2010

The Smyrna, Mableton, Austell, and Powder Springs Suburb of metro Atlanta GA, has had its share of foreclosed properties latetly. However, I often been asked by would be buyer's that "Its a Foreclosure or Short Sale We can start with low offer right? My resposnce are just becasue the property is a foreclosure or short sale does not means you should start your offer as low as possible becasue of the following reasons: A. If its  foreclosure, the bank are not in the market to give away the house B. Before the banks put the house on the market, they have done their due deligence by having the house appraised by a third party entity to determined appraised value of the property. Taking into consideration of the repairs and most recent sold properties (COMPS) in the area in similar condition... 09/21/2010

Has this old guy has still got it? I'm growing older but not up My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck Let those winds of time blow over my head I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead -Jimmy Buffett Ok, at 51, I guess I'm not that old but I play it up whenever I can. When I was younger, I used to spend day upon day at the lake.  Boating, water skiing, tubing were all part of the regular routine.  As life has gone on I have had few chances to spend time doing those things.  With that being the case I was quite excited to be heading to Lake Allatoona with my sons Boy Scout troop.  Well, I was excited and maybe just a little apprehensive.  I know that in my head I could still ride a tube or ski like I did when I was 20, but how it would work out now? Part 1: Tubing- I gav... 08/30/2010

Joey's grandma locked him in the fridge.... We were going through our morning routine getting the kids ready for school and my wife came across what we thought was a journal entry in my son's notebook.  She was shocked and showed it to me and I was equally shocked.  It was about a boy named Joey who has ADHD.  My son went on to say how he sort of understood why Joey acted the way he did.  After all wouldn't anybody be hyper active if their grandmother locked them in a refigerator as punishment? What?  Some kid at his school got locked in fridge by his grandmother?  Holy cow.  Something needs to be done!  So I took the page out of his notebook and made a copy of it on the home office copier.  After all I would need for evidence to show the school administrators.  Now before I marched off... 08/10/2010

What is great customer service? Publix Super Market 3721 New MacLand Road, Powder Springs, GA   (770) 222-2972‎ Let's face it.  Good customer service is not overly difficult when everything is going as planned. The true test is when a problem arises. When the cell phone bill is incorrect, the closing gets unexpectedly delayed, .... or the carpet cleaning machine doesn't work. A few days ago I went and rented the Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machine from the local Publix grocery store.  I cleaned the bedrooms and then later my daughters boyfriend was going to clean the bonus room and hallway. Then he was going to clean the stairs with the upholstery attachment and Barbara was going to shampoo the minivan carpets with the same attachment. The machine worked great .... but the attachment di... 07/05/2010

Powder Springs,Country Walk Drive - Bad Ice- Read more My wife, being the great employee that she is, just headed off to work.  About 2 minutes later the phone rang ..."my brakes aren't working, I just slid all the way down the hill, come get me".   Country Walk Drive is VERY icy.  This is ICE.  For all of you folks who have moved here from north of the Mason-Dixon line, this is ICE it is not snow.  Don't be a D*** yankee and drive like you think you know what you are doing :-). Country Walk Drive and Barnwood I went and rescued Barbara and drove the car up to Old Lost Mountain Rd for her.  Once you get to the main roads it is much safer but there are still many icy paches.  Anyway while I was walking back I observed some interesting things.  Lots of tire spinning, slipping, sliding, et... 01/08/2010

I consider myself fortunate that I started in real estate when I did, back about 6 or 7 years ago. There I was with a real estate license and had to figure out how to build a business.  That was really about the time that the internet was becoming the prominat way for buyers to search for homes. Recognizing that, I made the decision to learn and concentrate in on internet marketing as a core part of my business. How my services are presented on the internet has evolved dramatically but one thing is still the same.  People want information.  New platforms like blogging and the growth of social networks has changed the way I work.  Gladly, ActiveRain has been a huge part of that. Here's a story of how that's paid off for me recently.... Back in July the folks at ActiveRain did a contest t... 12/23/2009

Good by my little friend.... He came to us about 8 years or so ago.  Just wondered up the street from a neighbor.  We found his rightful owner and got him home.  A few weeks later they found out they had to move out of state and "Scooby" could not go along.  He was ours! Scoob loved to curl up up on the couch  or in the bed with us. His favorite place to spend the night was in our bed.  It true that there is nothing quite like waking up in the morning with a chihuahua in your crotch :-)     My wife commented today that she thought he was losing weight and he didn't seem to be feeling well but nothing that seemed alarming.  I said that I would call Dr Koopman tomorrow.  We spent the afternoon with my family for a Christmas celebration.  When we got home I found Scooby curled up the blank... 12/20/2009

Powder Springs, Ga. I get daily updates from Google Alerts anytime Powder Springs is in the news. At last weeks city council meeting the council banned smoking on the town square at public events. *********** Powder Springs limits smoking in town square Full story: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution The Powder Springs City Council voted Monday to ban smoking in the town square during city-sponsored events. *************** This raises several questions for me. First of all though let me say that I am a non smoker and I think cigarettes are disgusting.   However last time I checked smoking was a legal activity.... * How will this be enforced? * What are the penalties for lighting up? What if somebody lights up on the 4th of July and then lights up again during the Christmas celebration.  E... 12/14/2009
