Downsizing is a fact of life for many people these days. If you are facing what can be a traumatic situation, here's some advice from Jim Henderson, president of William C. Huff Co., a moving and storage company that specializes in affluent home owners.   Start early. Once home owners have made the decision to sell, they should start the weeding and moving process. A side benefit is that this winnowing of belongings will make their home more attractive to buyers.Begin by eliminating things that aren't used frequently. Belongings that have been relegated to the basement, the garage or the attic are good candidates for sale or donation.  Get the whole family involved.  Asking grown children to take what they want can painlessly remove a significant portion of belongings.  Digitize photos ...

Who thought a buffet could be so light and fresh?  I sure didn't.  Typically, I dread buffets, especially during the lunch hour, because I am usually left feeling like a stuffed pinata.  But not at Nori Nori.  Their buffet was not only satisfying and filling but I did not have the urge to take a nap - this is critical when you still have 4-6 hours left in your workday!   Nori Nori's buffet is actually the perfect solution to the lunch hour time crunch because from the moment you walk in, you can indulge in the delicious soups, the traditional sushi, smoking ribs and fried chicken, tender chicken teriyaki, favorful jumbo shrimp, fresh salads and tasty desert after desert.  Unlike most buffets, the quality of each dish is comparable to a made-to-order entree.  As a bonus, Nori Nori offers...

Okay, maybe I am telling my age but do you remember the hilarious 1980s comedy, The Money Pit, starring Tom Hanks and Shelley Long?  How outrageous that movie seemed with them falling through floors and having their entire marriage end because of a real estate purchase that was not properly investigated.  But in today's market, with foreclosures galore, Buyer's are running (rightfully so) to snap up homes at these great prices but the Latin phrase caveat emptor still holds true now more than ever... Buyer, beware! Here's the scenario you should avoid as a Buyer:  You have found a great bank-owned house worth 30 - 50% more than the asking price.  You visit the home, notice it has just a few water stains on the ceiling but don't really notice anything else that could be wrong.  You run to...

The low, low real estate prices of 2008 may very soon be a thing of the past for Fulton County including Sandy Springs, Atlanta, Roswell and the like.  How?  Fulton County has applied for federal funds available through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, for which they have to provide a detailed plan of where they want to use the money.  The goal is to purchase, renovate, and resell foreclosed or abandoned homes and apartment complexes in various parts of the county.  This is wonderful news for Owners and Sellers that have cringed as they watched the market rate for their real estate properties drop drastically over the past year due to the uptick of nearby foreclosures.  However, for Buyers and Investors, who over the past year have surely felt like children in a candy shop, the g...
