In my opinion, Country Walk is hands down the best neighborhood in Powder Springs. I can say that, because I live here! Built in the early 90’s, the neighborhood has beautiful, mature landscaping and trees. Neighbors take care of their homes and properties, and the homeowners association is top notch.

The pool is the biggest draw in the neighborhood when school is out. Unlike other neighborhoods, when the pool is open...

A fantastic article was just published in the local paper about the great work that Jeanne Walker has been doing the last couple of years as the principal of Tapp Middle School in Powder Springs. Here is a link to the article. Those of us who live and work in the West Cobb area know that the schools have often gotten a bad reputation. Cobb County in general is known for Nationally ranked high schools, high standards, and high parent involvement. Not so much for the western side of the county.  But all that is changing! Talking to parents who have children in Vaughn Elementary, Powder Springs Elementary, Tapp Middle School, and especially Mceachern High School, you wouldn't know about that reputation. Most of the parents I speak to are involved and happy about the improvements they are s...

  inShare Ten Things to Do When Your Home Does Not Sell in Powder Springs GA          Ten Things to Do When Your Home Does Not Sell in Powder Springs GA. Did your home in Powder Springs, GA, not sell during its listing period? It can be frustrating, but it may not be the fault of your home at all. It is time to review. 1. First, review all the marketing. Photographs need to look their best online, and there needs to be plenty of them. Analyze the information on the data sheet and make certain it is accurate, that it emphasizes the home's features and benefits and appeals to emotions and is complimentary. Make certain there is nothing that eliminates your home from showings. 2. Consider the availability. Does ...

Hollywood comes to Powder Springs Ga.! For those of you who might not know it, the state of Georgia has a very large and robust film industry.  Outside of New York and California it is one of the largest film production states in the country.  Going all the way back to the 1970's the Georgia Film Commission has given incentives to film here in Ga and the result has been a ton of revenue and jobs.  All of Burt Reynolds "good" movies were made in Ga.  Deliverance, Smokey and the Bandit, The Longest Yard, Sharkey's Machine, and Cannonball Run are all Ga movies.  Some recent movies filmed here entirely or in part here that you may or may not have heard of   include The Blind side, Zombieland, Hall Pass, and The Change Up,Madea Goes to Jail, Fireproof, We Are Marshall, Stomp the Yard, Diary...

Home Staging Atlanta - A Vacant Home Transformation - Before and After Pictures Included So... here's what I did today.  I took this vacant home and transformed it. I brought in the furniture and accessories (called home staging) and helped create some added warmth that was so desperately lacking. Here are the before and after pictures: Note: You'll have to excuse the before pictures as they were taken with an older camera. My Nikon D90 had to go into the shop and I, fortunately, got it back yesterday. Here's the kitchen before staging: Now it looks like this: Master Bedroom Before. Hmmmm, not very warm or inviting. Master Bedroom After: Living room before: Now.... Simple, yet warm and engaging - makes the perfect solution for selling.
