I have a Ball Ground opportunity which is not currently listed. The opportunity is a home and 3 adjoining lots. The lots have been surveyed out and are on sewer. The location is great in the town of Ball Ground. The home is beautiful and old. However it needs a bunch of work to restore it to its former beauty. The whole package is 150,000 firm. Ball ground is a great up and coming area and this is an opportunity that will not last long. Call me at 706 579 1098. 07/19/2012

I do a lot of work with first time buyers. My conversation starts the same way EVERY time. Have you gotten your pre-approval from your lender ? If not do you have a lender? if not I can send you a list of good lenders. I then explain why this step is critical. I usually set them up on Listing Book and send out an email with lenders. I do follow up in a couple of days about the Lender. If we do not get past that first step we go no where. Explain to your first time buyers why doing the financial thing is important. The analogy I use is , When you go to the grocery store you know how you are going to pay for the groceries. The amount of money you have determines what you can buy. It is the same when buying a home. As a Realtor you will avoid burn out and spinning your wheels. You will als... 09/10/2011

Home Owners Associations can be great things. I have been lucky in the communities I live in . For the most part the HOA folks have been great. But this is not an across the board situation. So here are some things you HOA folks out there need to know. You may have brought into a neighborhood for a high price. As you see prices decline do not try to get property owners to upgrade their homes through new restrictions. All you will do is force more people out and make the existing homes harder to sell. Making homes harder to sell hurts your community. This should be your number one, two and three rule to live by. When you are enacting new rules and regulations ask yourselves, will this make homes in the community harder to sell? If the answer is yes DON"T DO IT. But you may say, we are ma... 03/01/2011

For a lot of my life I was a road warrior. You know that person you see on the road with a rack across the back f the car with shirts and jackets hung on it. So along the ay i have seen some wild things people do as they are driving. When I drove n NYC it was not uncommon to see drivers driving and reading the paper in the stop and go traffic.  Later on it was talking on the cell phone. And of course the combo of cell phone talking and reading the paper. Then there are the women combing their hair and tossing their heads while driving. In addition there are those putting on make -up and drinking coffee at the same time while driving. There were even a couple of occasions where I saw couples ..... well you figure it out while driving. BUT yesterday was the best. While at a stop sign in t... 01/16/2011

Once again we in North Georgia are snowed in. It looks like a couple of days before we get out. It is so beautiful. I will post some shots tomorrow. But rather than despair I am working full steam. I am calling folks who want to do business this year. This is a good thing. Why? Because they are trapped at home as well. So we are all talking and sharing our snow stories. I am also doing a bunch of paper work and web site work. All in all I am more productive now than I am usually. For my fellow ActiveRainers, Big Canoe ,Bent Tree,Jasper, and North Goergia freinds who are stuck in the snow. Use the time . We will be back out soon   01/10/2011

Atlanta is a great hub for business. Other areas of Georgia are great retirement areas, or just beautiful and you would want to live there. So if you are moving to Georgia there are some thinks that you should know about how we process real estate transactions. 1 Wwe are a title State. This means that if you are unfortunate and face foreclosure it is non judicial. Fact is you sign at the closing saying you can be foreclosed on with out going to court. 2 We use closing attorneys. We almost never close in Escrow. 3 Up until 2010 we could not tell you square footage of a home. Now we will tell you this is what the tax records say is the square footage. In my experience they are 80 percent accurate 4 When you buy here unless other wise noted your property comes with the Mineral rights. 5 Th... 12/16/2010

This message applies to us in real estate but also applies to business in general. Here in Georgia the money goes into Escrow and then is dispersed. So If a buyer ,which happens most of the time, gives us a check for the Earnest money, I want it with enough time to clear. This is standard practise. But what if a buyer or a renter, for that matter, wires you the money. This is a great way to get funds because you do not have to worry about them right? Not 100 percent right. The funds are given to you subject to settlement. This means that the sender of the funds has till the closing of the fed on that day to revoke the transaction. This happens VERY VERY rarely. But it does happen. So even if you are taking a wire make sure you have a day between you and the time the funds are being disp... 11/04/2010

Lightening does indeed strike twice in Real estate. And it may become more than an odd occurrence. I am working with a buyer, again , who may have no credit. Always pays bills , has no credit cards, however in this case there are car payments that may help us out. This may be more and more the norm as young folks tighten their belts in these uncertain times. So if you are working with young first time buyers yo ironically have to advise them on how a little debt is a good thing!!Ssecond time it has happened to me in 12 months. I am wondering if there will be a trend of these challenging types of folks who want to buy a home 10/12/2010

The Title of this blog is a direct quote from Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia. For those of you who do not Know. Sen. Isakson was a Real Estate Broker. He still contributes to RPAC. He is one of the sponsors of the 8k credit. He wanted to make it 15k. His Career in Real Estate was VERY successful as he grew from the ground, North side Realty. One of the largest independent brokerages in Atlanta. Sen Isakson spoke at the Real Estate FMLS show in Atlanta this  past week. He talked about the many down turns in real estate that he had been through. His answer to the what is going on in the market is simple. We are at the bottom and bumping along there. It is a great time to buy as rates .prices, and availability of homes has never been better for a buyer. So forget about all the doom and ... 08/28/2010
