Consultation
Yes, you probably can do it all by yourself.
Just like you could represent yourself in a
court of law. But why make it hard on
yourself. We are trained professionals who work
with buyers and sellers everyday. We'll
listen to your goals and hopefully show you
different options you might not have thought of.
Let's meet and talk about what's best for you.
Where we do Business Our market area is in the north metro
Atlanta area. We service Cobb County,
north Fulton County, Dekalb County, Forsyth
County and Gwinnett County. We are very
familiar with Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Marietta,
Roswell, Alpharetta, Buckhead, and Midtown.
We have sold homes inside the perimeter and
outside the perimeter. We can't know
everything so for clients who want to look for
property in Peachtree City, Newnan, Stone
Mountain, Douglasville, Macon and areas further
out we will gladly recommend a good agent who
specializes in those areas. We help buyers
negotiate with builders for residential new
construction houses. New houses in Atlanta are
hot right now. We can represent you in the
purchase of your new house built by any of the
following builders: Torrey Homes, MDC Homes,
Centex Homes, Pulte Homes, Morrison Homes,
Ryland Homes, John Wieland Homes, Winmark Homes,
Meridian Homes, John Willis Homes, Benchmark
Homes and many more home builders. We can help
clients find short term apartments for rent but
normally we don't work with clients who are just
looking for rentals. We do help clients
find Atlanta condos. We can also help you
purchase HUD homes in Atlanta. We are an
authorized agent with them and have the HUD key
to get into HUD homes. We have access to
foreclosure homes that banks want to sell. We
love showing executive homes and luxury homes.
We always like to know how people find our site.
Send us an email and tell us which search term
you used. Some terms that we might be found by
are realty Atlanta, Ga homes, Atlanta realty,
condos Atlanta, Atlanta realestate, Atlanta
property, houses Atlanta, Atlanta realtors, Ga
houses, or realtors Atlanta. Maybe you
found us by typing in Atlanta MLS listings, or
Atlanta MLS search, or MLS Atlanta GA. Hopefully
we don't come up under nursing homes or funeral
homes. It is always amazing to me how the
Internet can allow total strangers to find each
other and build new business relationships.
It truly is becoming a small, interconnected
world.

It's Bold, Decisive and

Beware of the agent with
all the signs! It can be dangerous
to your wallet Have you ever
driven through a
neighborhood and seen
one agent with most of
the
homesfor sale? Your
first thought might be
that they must know a
lot about the
neighborhood. You might
think it would be a good
thing to deal directly
with that agent if you
decide to buy a home
there.
If you want to get a
good deal, stop! Think
about it for a second.
Why would they want to
negotiate a great deal
for you? It's just
going to bring down the
prices in the
neighborhood and make
their other
homes for sale
look overpriced.
And what if the agent
lives in the
neighborhood? Who
wants prices in their
neighborhood to go down?
Not a listing agent who
wants to develop a
reputation for being
able to get top dollar
for
homes in the
neighborhood. Always
consider the motivations
of everyone involved in
a transaction. You need
to align yourself with
someone who benefits
when you benefit.
A
buyer's agent who cares
about their long term
business wants you
to get the best deal
possible. Why?
When you go to buy a
bigger home in 5 years
wouldn't you call the
agent who helped you get
a great deal on your
current home? It's
just that simple.
