There are three brand new office condos, approximately 1200 sq ft each located in the River Park community at sixes and highway 5. We have really good lease rates right now, so take a look at the video then call me for an appointment!

We just listed a terrific 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, Brick fron home in the Arbors. This great home is ready tio move in to. We are excited about this home for many reasons, but we really like the floor plan and the fact that it is in our adopted subdivision, The Arbors. This great neighborhood is truly a jewel in the crown of the Towne lake community. Watch the movie and let me know what you think!

Prudential Georgia Realty is a pretty cool, technology driven company. I don’t think I have seen any other Real estate companies that produce their own TV channel! Take a look at the link below and let me know what you think.

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!

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.

This home is terrific! It has a flat, fenced back yard. The kitchen has been updated with newer appliances. The carpet upstairs is all upgraded. Check out this video and let me know what you think!

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!

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.

Well, you know that I have been using my videos to sell listings. Fine examples of my work abound on this blog, just scroll down and check them out. What you will not see on these videos are my face. I have always been told that I have a face for radio! I like the narration part of the videos. I’ve never really been interested in being in front of the camera. Well, that is about to change.
I go to work tonight as an extra in the film “Life as we know it” starring Katherine Heigle. Pretty sure I just miss-spelled the young lady’s name, but you have seen her in several TV shows I am sure.
Now, I don’t know Ms. Heigle, but I am sure that my inclusion as an extra in her film will greatly improve her odds of winning some award or another. I am excited to be able to help, but why now? Who knows! This must have been something on my “Bucket List” of things to do before I forget where I left my dentures.
When this movie comes out, I want to make sure you all go see it. That blur in the back ground in the court scene, the one where you see an elbow in the crowd? That’s bound to be me!
In the meantime, I think I will stick with Real estate. Let me know how I can help and I will tell you stories about my brush with stardom!

I wanted to write a quick note about an interesting issue that has come up with one of my sellers. We were supposed to close on their house today. They were to have the weekend to finish up moving. The buyers would then bring in the painters and the other craftsmen that were to make this home their own. All of that came crashing to a halt last week with a phone call from the closing attorney.
You see, every home sold must be sold with something called clear title. This means some guy who camps out in the musty basement in the courthouse whose job it is to research the ownership records for your home going back 50 or more years, has looked at every transaction and passed a judgement that clear ownership, or title, has occurred each time. Usually there are few if any problems in this process. As soon as the title search comes back clear, the lender can get insurance on the clear title and the closing takes place.
Well, the phone call from the attorney was an eye opener for me. The title search on this home showed that in 1952, the US government declared that this land could never be sold. It was to remain property of the US government, in this case the Corps of Engineers. Cottages only could be built on the home but the land would always be corp property! Read the rest of this entry »

Located in the Henderson Woods subdivision, this 3 bed room 2 bath home sparkles! It has a rocking chair porch in front, a flat back yard with plenty of room to romp, a spectacular bonus room, and a man’s garage! Take a look at this video and let me know what you think of this home.

Beth Campbell and I have a second listing in the Fairways. This is a terrific home. It sits on a cul-de-sac in front and the 14th hole of the Eagle Watch Golf Club in back. This ranch over finished basement has over 5000 sq ft! This is truly one of the best listings to date. We have it priced at $425,000 which is on the high end of the neighborhood, but the house is worth every penny! Check it out on the video below and let me know what you think!

Yes, another listing! If you are looking to build a home in a quiet established neighborhood in Cobb county, this could be the lot! No HOA fees. Let me know if you like the video. This one was all hand held.

Located in the Grove Park Community, nestled inside Towne Lake, is a 2 bed room 2 bath home with fenced back yard and much more. My Towne Lake partner, Beth Campbell, has just listed this beauty and it should not be on the market long. Check out this video and enjoy the show!

Like the post below, this awsome home is also in the Hembree Creek community. The view off the deck of this home is of the woods. Lots of birds can be seen and heard. Check out this video and let me know what you think!

There is a small gated community of condos in Roswell called Hembree Creek. It is situated close to shopping, public transportation, and the North Georgia Regional Hospital, yet the community is surrounded by lush trees in a park like setting. If you have ever dreamed of living somewhere that you do not need to bother with yardwork, are surrounded by professional landscaping, and secure behind a gate, this home might be for you! Check out this video and let me know what you think.

If you get a chance, get a copy of the Arbors newsletter for this month. TowneLakeRealEstate.com has become a sponser for this community and has the full back page for the next 11 issues!

It has happened! I finally decided to work with another agent, Beth Campbell, in my office, not as a team but in a collaboration that is new and exciting. I bring the technology to the party and Beth brings the word phrasing and great ideas. Together we feel as though we have a lot to offer to the Towne lake area, and this new website is just the ticket to prove it!
This new site will allow you to see what is happening in the various neighborhoods, check out the rental section as well as Restaurant guide and business directory. If you see something that you would like to have on the site, drop me an email and let me know.
Please go check out TowneLakeRealEstate.com and let me know what you think. This will become the pioint source for everything that is going on in the communities that make up Towne Lake. Beth and I will be working on delivering the best of our Real Estate knowledge to Towne Lake in the hopes that we can become the premier agents to work with. Seperately, we are making great strides, but together we feel that we offer more to our buyers and sellers than most other agents.
Once again, thanks for checking in with us. Let us know how we can help you in the days to come. We look forward to hearing from you!
