Whether relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening by the pool or sipping a warm cup of coffee as the sunlight trickles through the leaves, this home is the perfect escape…every day!

Service Matters, Especially in Real Estate! 2007-05-01 15:37:06 A simple way to break down American society is to say there are two kinds of people; one who provides a service and the other who consumes that service. As an upwardly mobile society, many of us switch from the role of a service provider to a service consumer and vise versa many times a day. Great service is something we all desire and seldom receive. Sadly, in regard to the transactions that occur the most in our daily lives, we have lowered our expectations on the level of service that we are willing to accept.
You go through a fast food drive thru and do not get what you ordered or the pizza that is delivered to your house gets there twenty minutes late. Going back through the drive thru or ordering another pizza isn’t generally worth the time and aggravation that it would take to get the vendor to correct the situation. So we eat whatever we received at the drive thru or half heartedly eat cold pizza. By not making the effort to correct the situation we reinforce our lowered expe Read more:Estate

GA Traffic Counts: Free for Everyone! 2007-04-18 23:24:16 My friend and fellow commercial agent, Wade Sonenberg of the Sonenberg Company, has recently created a mashup of Georgia DOT traffic counts and Google Maps. It is a great tool for commercial agents and good knowledge for local residents. Wade had this to say about his new mashup:
“Commercial Realtors, shopping center investors, and retailers used to have only two options for finding Georgia DOT traffic counts: either pay hundreds of dollars for programs, or navigate the Georgia DOT’s web site which requires downloading programs to view maps with hardly legible names.
Now there is an easier (and free) way!
We have just introduced the “Beta” version of Georgia DOT Traffic Count Mashup, which combines Georgia’s publicly available traffic count data with Google’s easy to Google Maps interface.”
Good work Wade and I am certain your visitors will skyrocket once the word is out.

Lowe’s has Benefits for Sellers and Realtors 2007-03-28 06:24:44
LowesRealtorBenefits
.com is a great partnership between the National Association of Realtors
and Lowe’s. It allows Realtors to send Free personalized direct mail pieces with valuable discounts, rebates and coupons to buyer and seller customers alike. It’s a great win-win situation for everyone involved. Realtors get quality marketing, buyers and sellers receive valuable savings and tips and Lowe’s gets new or repeat customers. I recommend all agents to look into this great partnership.
Here are the latest tips from Lowe’s monthly “News You Can Use“:
1. Spring into cleaning – Use a little elbow grease to
make your floors, windows, appliances and light
fixtures sparkle. Potential buyers feel more comfortable
when viewing a clean house.
2. Minimize clutter – “Less is more” when it comes
to staging your home for sale. Put anything in storage
that takes away from a room’s overall impact.
3. Organize closets – A well-organized close Read more:Sellers
How to Buy Land 2007-05-03 14:56:44 A client of mine is beginning the process to purchase a vacant lot to build his new home. As expected, he has many questions about how to do find the right property and then what to do with it once he has found it. After searching the web for a good website that explains the process of buying raw land, I realized there aren’t any great ones and very few at all that I would recommend he read. So I decided to put this post together to send to my client and share with everyone else.
Steps to Purchasing Vacant Land
Save Money: Typically you will need a 20% down payment with the interest rate and terms of the loan being somewhat negotiable, generally up to 15 years. If the purchase price isn’t that large, you might also consider taking out a home equity loan on your current residence and enjoy the tax deduction. A community bank is best for these type of purchases as they know the local market better and are willing to take more risks than the larger mega-banks.

Opportunity in real estate–Will it be lost or gained and is it a knocking? 2007-06-01 14:41:36
I enjoy participating in conversations with individuals that I consider to be the elders of our society. They often speak in envious tones of times gone by when life was enjoyed to a fuller extent and the simple things were enough to get you by. Inevitably at some point during the conversation, a statement is made regarding how the area has changed over the years. I have often heard “You see all those buildings over there, none of that used to be there” or “when I moved here, I had the chance to buy all the land I wanted for $500 an acre and now that land is over $30,000 an acre.
Many individuals watch the areas that they live and work in become developed and rezoned to a higher and better use with out becoming investors in real property. They do not take advantage of the current tax advantages of home ownership that under most circumstances allow us to sell our residence every two years and have a large portion of the profits be exempt from income tax.   Read more:knocking
