You know, I just want the public Buyers to understand that really and truly there are brokers and agents out here that do not charge a fee to work with Buyers.  I really like going out with Buyers and helping them to locate their new or next home.  It is rewarding when you see someone's eyes light up when the keys are handed to them at the closing table, especially a first time homebuyer.  Anyone that wants to make a comment back, I would like to hear if you like working with Buyers or Sellers, I have found that both Buyers and Sellers are very interesting and I like being able to work with both.

Hi Everyone, I think the biggest misconception to the public when they are looking to buy a home is that they want to find the home on their own and call the agent whose name is on the sign on the front of the home.  They feel since that agent has the home for sale then they don't have to worry about paying anything to an agent  to help them find a home.  I believe that has been the hardest thing for me to make Buyers understand at times is that a Buyer's agent works for the Buyer free of charge unless you have agent's that charge for their services, which I hear has happened before.I am a broker in the Forsyth county area and love to work with Buyers.  I also list alot of homes and have an awesome marketing program for my Sellers.  My latest listing that you can view on the interenet i...

Ok, not sure what all this blogging thing is but hopefully I will learn real quick.My daughter is a real estate agent with the family company and started blogging a couple of weeks ago.  Now I have just briefly looked at a few blogs and I wonder do you have to have a creative person to be a blogger?  I sure hope not.I started in the real estate business back in the 80's, wow that was such a long time ago.  I have learned so much since then and continue to learn.Well, like I said I have never done this before, but I wanted to at least give it a shot and see if I could do it.Maybe I will turn out to be a heck of a blogger!Now, let's go and sell some houses!

As I stated in an earlier blog, I have joined forces with my families Real Estate Company in Cumming, Georgia.  In doing so, I have been searching for ways to generate leads.  I have done my share of research on different lead techniques and when I stumbled upon the several websites of the companies that offer Cash Rebates to buyers my first thought was "Why not?" I really like this tactic, so we are going to put it into place immediately! Some may ask why I would want to give money away and my answer is simple. "Why not?" I don't see it as giving away money at all. The buyer does a lot of the work for themselves already. They just need your expertise, guidance and resources to the many homes for sale.  So this is how our company has laid out the program.Full Service and Representation ...

Make this the year you come to Forsty Fairgrounds to see the Steam Engine Parade.  It starts in Downtown Cumming at 10:00am on July 4th. These old Steam Engines run through town making a great deal of noise.  This is part of being a Cumming lover.  The history these Steam Engines represent will amaze you.  The owners love to share their stories and some of them have been in the parade year after year.  This is free and food and drink vendors will be around so you can refresh yourself.  Bring your chairs if you want to sit on the sidewalk.  Prepare to have a great time.  Everyone is relaxed and friendly. If you would like Real Estate, in Cumming Ga, Forsyth Co.

Having lived in Cumming, Georgia I know firsthand that Habersham subdivision is in one of the area's greatest locations. Situated in the rolling hills south of Lake Lanier, Habersham possesses what most subdivisions only wish - sanctuary. Homes were built by various builders like John Wieland Homes. Many homeowners enjoy the benefit of being situated near the golf course run by the Lanier Golf Club but without the mandatory membership. Habersham has a clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis courts. From young families to retirees, Habersham has it all. Not to mention the central location to shopping, Highway 400 and Habersham Marina. Don't forget to go camping down the street or visit Lake Lanier Islands to truly appreciate the wonderful local recreation.Kelly Blakehttp://KellyBlake.comhttp...

Our April 2007 Lake Lanier Housing Market Report is complete and ready for your review. During April, the market experienced a decrease in the number of lake front homes with docks sold on Lake Lanier according to the statistics that we review in First Multiple Listing Service, as we compare them to April of 2006. The report's average lake front home closing prices were down slightly by approximately 5.0 percent compared to the same month last year, but the days on market were still relatively few at 92. However the days on market number was a bit more than the reported number from April 2006. While the March 2007 sales showed a promising upswing, the new April numbers continue the feeling of overall softness in the real estate market. To see the full report, click on the link below! Ap...

Cumming GeorgiaClose to the big City of Atlanta but in a tranquil place of its own.  The history of Cumming Georgia is rich and colorful.   Many of the founding fathers are represented today because many generations of family members have remained in the area.  This is a small town of around 145000 people. The county is Forsyth County and it is one of the fastest growing counties in America.  You have the small town feel but all the big town needs are close by.The major draw to the Cumming Georgia area is Lake Lanier. This beautiful manmade lake has a major impact on the area. Real estate on Lake Lanier is very highly sought after and as a result it is expensive.  The beauty of the lake and the views of the Blue Ridge mountain range, make this area one hot real estate market. Lake Lanie...
