Atlanta Buckhead Midtown - Land Acquisitions Larry Story Presentation  Larry Story from North Carolina led Zoom attendees on an adventure during his presentation this week. Travel commenced in farm land continued to timber land and to his discovery of the stream a Client wanted to hear at night and tracts of land for sub-divisions. He explained many situations. If there are crops on land - what obligation does the Buyer have to the farmer? How should one work towards Zoning changes so Buyer can pursue goals? What about sanitation - public or septic? How does one assure the Buyer of water service? Start with the need to really know one's Listing. Larry explained that he spent many, many hours researching each tract to be sure what constraints would be applied to the use of the land. For ...

Atlanta Buckhead MidtownFlowers - Foundation For Work Relationships  In Atlanta, Buckhead, Midtown and on the Westside, flowers form foundations for work relationships.Whenever I go to meet a new Buyer Client, I bring a minimal flower arrangement in a container that was destined for the Recycle bin. That gift addresses two core values of mine. First, I cherish every opportunity to share beauty. A close look at almost any flower is a glimpse into beauty and majesty in the natural world. Second, I am concerned about how much is added to land fills every year. By re-using a disposable container, I am not adding anything extra. Interestingly, when working with a Buyer Client who will soon have to move, by using recylable containers, I avoid adding another possession to their moving work loa...

Atlanta Buckhead Midtown - Isolated Living - Boarders Defeat Loneliness In Atlanta, Buckhead, Midtown and the Westside, Covid-19 created months of isolation for many people who were accustomed to being around others all the time. In fact, I was no exception. Being alone was a new experience for me after over fifty years of marriage and raising five children, all successfully living their lives with three of them and all the grandchildren far away in other states. Turns out it was very lonely in the house.So I decided to take in Boarders and that has made all the difference. In fact, life is a story or actually composed of many stories, isn't it Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP ?Years ago I had raised birds - cockatiels. I searched for social media posts from people who wanted to give ...

In the age of the smart phone, we have a camera in our hand almost all the time.It's not like back in "the old days" when you had to put the film in the camera, take the pictures, then take the film to be developed and wait a week. Then open the envelope and find out half of them were __________________ (fill in the blank as to what was wrong with them, right?)I've got a really nice Nikon DSLR camera that I have honestly forgotten how to use. I don't take my own real estate photos for listings, and it's bulky to lug the case around, or have that "huge thing" hanging around your neck when you can have your phone in your pocket.  Side note, in doing videos for my You Tube channel, I'm going to break it out, or the actual video camera so I can have footage from two angles to edit together ...

Atlanta Buckhead - Tree Blocking Road - Local Landscaper Offers Safety Atlanta Buckhead Midtown area frequently offers neighbors obstacle avoidance adventures while driving with major trees fallen into streets. Not visible in the night time, the huge trees on the roads are accidents waiting to happen! May 6, 2021 was no exception. After two days of torrential rains, many trees were loose in the ground. This one actually split open and fell across the road. Landing near an intersection, this tree would have been  particularly dangerous if a driver turned into the side street after dark.   Luckily for the homes near the tree, it split towards the road. No damaged roofs this time.   Danny Blankenship, 404-731-6995, owns Automatic Lawn Care, a family-based concern. He and his brother, Chris...

Atlanta Buckhead MidtownCDC Eviction Mandate NOT LEGAL Judge Says  In Atlanta, Buckhead, Midtown and the Westside, as well as all over the United States, a federal judge in Washington, D.C.  "vacated", that is, struck down, the CDC mandated nationwide Eviction Moratorium on Wednesday, May 5, 2021.U.S. District Court Judge Dabney L. Friedrich, of the District of Columbia, announced the decision in a 20-page document saying,“It is the role of the political branches, and not the courts, to assess the merits of policy measures designed to combat the spread of disease, even during a global pandemic. The question for the Court is a narrow one:"Does the Public Health Service Act grant the CDC the legal authority to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium? It does not.” Therefore, the capacity ...

Its automated systems provided the information each agent independently entered into the system.All that information allowed for increased efficiency in arranging showings.

       Atlanta Buckhead Midtown    Let Your Photos Do The Talkin'      Photos need to tell a complete and unambiguous story - every single time we use them in our Listings or in our Blogging posts - every time. Is that photo highlighting the flooring? Is that a photo of an appliance? A picture is worth 1000 words when it works! Otherwise, it may cause confusion and CLICK! Away goes the reader...Here is clarity: The steps to the back yard. One can see the material of the treads. One can see the ground cover plants used. One can see the mulch used. The photograph, taken by Americo Perez-Mendez, Landscape Gardener, tells the whole story visually.                                    From the Living Room looking to the back yard - the photo includes the exterior steps. The amount of sun that ...
