With that disclaimer, I’ll tell you that the real estate market in North Fulton county is flat…and I’m not lying, really.

Here’s My Buyer…Do You Want to Sell Your Home in Milton?
(To the tune of Gershwin’s “I Got Rhythm”) I got buyers They’ve got money They need to move Who could ask for anything more? In a buyer’s market, it is a good thing to have buyers if you are a realtor.  I work with both buyers and sellers in my business, but my website and ... [Continue Reading]

$100,000 Price Reduction on Alpharetta Home for Sale – The Price of Ignorance

$100,000 Price Reduction on Alpharetta Home for Sale – The Price of Ignorance
That is not a typo.  Yes, a ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND Dollar reduction, and after only 17 days on the market.  But I don’t care if the property had been on the market for a year, a $100,000 price reduction on a house worth less than $1M is a miscarriage of the free market.  Or maybe it is the free market:  ... [Continue Reading]

Honesty is Hardly Ever Heard
  Brutal Honesty. Only your friends can be brutally honest with you, so they say. One of my problems, I’ve always been told, is that I’m too honest, that I don’t sugar coat my opinions enough, even it they are “right.” In real estate it is hard to be honest, particularly with sellers. No one ... [Continue Reading]

Fish with a net, not a spear.
A lot of people think that they are actually funnier than they really are.  A lot of people think they are smarter or tougher than they really are.  And a lot of people also think their house is worth more than it really is. Some of this misperception might be wishful thinking, but a lot of ... [Continue Reading]

There is a Realtor under every rock

There is a Realtor under every rock
I like to say that there is a Realtor under every rock, by which i mean that there is certainly no shortage of realtors out there and they are easily found.  In Georgia alone, there are something like 30,000 realtors.  It seems as if everyone’s sister or mother-in-law is a realtor. There being so many ... [Continue Reading]
