206 Sable Trace Drive

Our newest listing is a ranch over full basement. Located in Acworth Georgia, this home is in great shape and sits in the Sable Trace community. It had to be 100 degrees outside when we shot this video! It is the first video where I used my new Manfrotto tripod. I really like the fluid head and its sturdyness. Enjoy the video and let me know what you think!

Life as we Know it…

Hello everyone. Below is a link to the movie trailer for Life as we Know it, starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel. I worked as an extra in this film that is supposed to be released this fall. Watch for me in the movie towards the beginning of the film in a courtroom scene with both main actors. It was really fun to do. Since then I have worked on the TV shows Past Life and Drop Dead Divas. Its a great hobby. Watch for the release of this movie and see if you can find me! Also, my daughter should be in Drop Dead Divas in the next week or so in a great dance scene with Paula Abdul. Enjoy!

310 North Brooke Drive

This home is located in The Estates at Brooke Park and it is a stunning home! Clean and neat, this home has a terrific updated kitchen and a great overall look and feel. My guess is that this home probably will sell relatively quickly.

I am excited to show this video, made with my new panasonic professional Video HD camera. The second home I have videoed with this camera, but the first one where I pulled out all my movie lights as well. I think I may have missed my calling!

Take a look at this one and let me know what you think. See if you can tell where the lights were used. This video expands our use of cutaways to my partner, Beth Campbell and I think it is pretty cool. It makes for a bear to edit though…

Watch, enjoy, and report back to me what you think!

329 North Brooke Drive

This home is owned by good friends of mine and they have just put it up for sale this past week. What a cool home! This home was custom built on one of the highest lots in the Estates at Brooke Park and they have a great view off their back deck of the North Georgia Mountains. They have hosted our North georgia Referral Network Christmas party twice in the past several years and the home is always decorated to the hilt! You can see the home up on the hill a mile away when all the lights are on!

This video is the first on with my new Panasonic professional HD video camera. The clarity is outstanding and I could not have picked a better home to use it on first. Please watch the video and let me know what you think. It is also the first one where my partner, Beth Campbell, appears on screen. My new wireless Lavalier microphone system made it a snap! Watch and let me know what you think, please!

It’s Me!

I have found that I am much more comfortable behind the camera as opposed to in front. However, I needed a trailer video for the front page of my website that introduced myself. I am planning to change the content monthly, and hopefully feature my partner in the next series of videos, leaving me on the sidelines. So, here is my 30 second trailer that currently resides on my website. Enjoy and keep the laughter to a minimum!

All the world’s a stage!

Staging. What does this mean? It means setting up rooms in a home to make those rooms look inviting to buyers. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Well, there are people in Real Estate who do nothing but help Realtors Stage homes. The good ones are worth every penny!

I was over at a listing of mine yesterday, and we are in the process of improving the look of the home. I walked up the steps and pointed out to my client that the dead, dried up flowers hanging in the baskets on his porch needed to be thrown out. He looked at then as if seeing them for the first time and said, “You know, I think you are right!”.

Don’t get me wrong here. This client is a smart guy. He just does not look at his home the same way a potential buyer or myself looks at his home. He sees his home every single day, and this familiarity makes him not see many things.

We are in the process of deep cleaning the home, painting, arranging candles and scented soaps in bathrooms, adding ground cover outside, and tidying up around his pool. In other words we are “Staging” his home. He is excited because he is learning to see his home through different eyes. I am excited because the true value of his home is starting to shine through.

I have a DVD on staging your home. It is pretty good and covers many of the basics. If you would like a copy of this DVD free, drop me an email and I will send it right out.

Trick or Treat!

We made it through yet another Halloween. As far as I know, my yard signs are still where I left them Friday. No neighbors have called me yet to go retrieve a wayward sign!

We Realtors put up with lots of Tricks and Treats all year long. For example, I showed a home to a couple with 4 kids this weekend and it was a real treat. The home was well priced, clean, and was large enough for the couple to comfortably live in.

I also have a client who wants to buy a house, we have made an offer, and the seller keeps changing their mind as to what they will accept. We feel we have been tricked!

I work with a great bunch of people here at Prudential Georgia Realty. I have a wonderful Managing Broker and the Senior Vice President of the company has been great to work with as well. What a treat!

I recently was “Run over” by another agent. Let’s just say her unfocused agressiveness cost me a great listing and cost me a bunch of money. Worst of all, it was an agent in the same brand. I think this is a trick.

So, when you say hello to your favorite agent during the year, remember, we are all still living Trick or Treat every day!

Another Move!

Just when you think things are settleing down, Bam! another change comes along. The Community Realty Group has just expanded to include commercial retail leasing. That’s right, we have opened a new leasing office at The Streetside shopping center on Bells Ferry Road at the corner of Eagle Drive and across the street from the Super Wal Mart.

We have already received a verbal committment from Dollar Tree to move in to 8-10,000 sq ft and we have 3 bakery people interested in the vacant Bakery site. We are really excited to begin this new phase of The Community Group!

We have not forgotten the residential side of our business. We have listed 2 homes in the past week that will appear as videos on this blog shortly. They are a $149,000 home, completely renovated in Powder Springs and owned by my friends and past clients Keith and Carolyn. This home off Vill Rica Road is close to perfect. It has been extremely well cared for.

The second home is in Acworth in the Lake Park subdivision and is priced at $165,000. A really neat floor plan with extra rooms in the basement for an in-law suite, exercise room and office. This is a really large floor plan. Watch for these videos as they are currently in production.
