Welcome home!

Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachians is the four county area of Barrow, Jackson, Walton and Gwinnett Counties. Close to everything but far enough away to spread out and enjoy life! Just Northeast of downtown Atlanta, you can find any type of living here from loft style condos within walking distance to shopping and restaurants to suburban areas with amenities such as swim and tennis to small, “home town” type areas. If it’s acreage you want you can find that too and still be only a short drive to shopping or local attractions.

Selling your home with me

Selling a house is not the same as selling the family car. First of all you have to know how to set the correct asking price. Second comes marketing and then at contract time you must have all the details completed before the sale is complete. I have over 4 years experience listing and selling homes in Barrow, Jackson, Walton and Gwinnett Counties and the resources of Keller Williams Realty behind me. Having a REALTOR® that utilizes resources like MLS, the internet, print publications, and direct marketing properly could mean the difference in selling your home fast or just being “on the market”. There is a difference between being “on the market” and “in the market”. Let me perform a no cost market analysis of your home to let you know what the market is in your neighborhood.

Reasons to Buy Now
• It’s a buyer’s market – motivated sellers are offering a host of value-added incentives
• Homeownership is the first step toward building wealth
• Interest rates are still historically low, currently hovering around 6.00% as compared to an average of 7.75 percent in 1997 and 10.25 percent in 1987
• Homeownership may qualify you for tax deductions
• Return on investment – Georgia is a hot commodity! Our state has topped several “great places to live” lists in recent months. Among them are Forbes magazine’s Top Ten Most Affordable Places to Live Well, and five Georgia counties secured half of the slots for Progressive Farmer’s Top 10 Places with the Best Air Quality.
• Location, location, location – homes are available in a variety of price ranges throughout Georgia
• Homebuyers have more housing choices than ever before

Lately, the media has been telling you how bad the market is and only reporting the negative numbers but the truth is 2007 was the 5th best year ever for home sales. Despite the negative press in recent months, realize that all real estate is local and what is happening in other areas in the United States does not necessarily reflect your local housing market. As a matter of fact, prices can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. This buyer’s market will not last forever. If you’d like for information as to Why Buy Now… Ask a REALTOR^®!

Get started with Pre-approval
Pre-approval gives you the opportunity to increase bargaining and negotiating power by:
• Estimating your mortgage payment
• Setting a realistic price range you can afford
• Addressing possible qualification issues ahead of time
• Facilitate a faster transaction closing 

Then contact me to start your search. I will create a customized search and provide listings based on your criteria....

Buying Your Home
Your decision to buy a home should be based on answers to the following questions:
• What kind of home do I want?
• What are the comparable homes selling for?
• What about the neighborhoods, schools, crime rates, traffic, zoning, and work commutes?
• Does the home meet my price, location and amenity needs?

Negotiate
Buyers have their share of homes from which to choose in today’s market. Negotiations among sellers and buyers (and their respective REALTORS^®) have reached a new level of importance. Negotiation in a buyer’s market is not limited to price reductions. Incentives can include:
• Upgrades in the purchase of a new construction home
• Financing packages such as seller-paid closing costs
• Higher levels of service
