"Buying a home is not an everyday event.  Generally, people move only 5-7 times in their lifetime... at the most!   Each time they do, the local laws and protections have all changed.  The Georgia contracts changed drastically for 2007, with more drastic changes planned for 2008.   And, if you are moving from another state, the laws and process are all different in each state.  It is usually the single largest financial transaction that most people will make in their lifetime.  People need an experienced professional real estate planner who represents their interests in their corner.  Why suffer more than you have to through what should be an exhilarating transaction?"

I have compiled pertinent information for all buyers below, and I certainly hope it is of value to you.  Enjoy, and call or email me if you have questions or want more information.

   BUYER ALERT!  
This website, or any other real estate site on the internet, does not have knowledge of Georgia local laws, legal forms & contracts, or market conditions for the area you may be trying to buy your home of choice.  It cannot make judgements based on experience, and thus; cannot consult with you nor give you advice.  It cannot research for the data you need to know to make a wise decision, and it does not care how you interpret the data that it provides.  It does not represent your interests during negotiations, nor have the experience to do so.  It does not truly understand your personal needs, wants and goals, and it certainly does not care about you and where you end up.  You need an Experienced Real Estate Professional for all these things that cannot be done on the internet!  Contact me today!

Are You Nervous About Buying a Home NOW?

With all the negative reports in the media about the housing slowdown, it is small wonder that you would be nervous.  Despite some of the mortgage options not being available (you did not want them anyway), now is the RIGHT time to buy!  Let me point out a few facts that back up that claim:

1.)  Rates right now are as low they were a year ago.  However, they are vollatile, so lock as soon as you are able.
2.)  There is a huge inventory of homes on the market which has to sell.  You can be picky and expect reduced pricing.
3).  There are many foreclosures and short sales that are on the market and you can get an excellent deal if you have a Real Estate Planner with you who knows the area and the neighborhood, or who is able to get the information.   The 'deal' may require some 'sweat equity' on your part to fix up the home, but not always. You may have to wait a few years for the appreciation to increase.
4.)  New homes are at a great price because the building supplies are 10-20% lower than a year ago.  New homes are also in surplus, as well as building lots.  Builders are willing to work with you for the first time that I can remember.  Labor is also cheaper due to the law of supply and demand.
5.)  The government is giving great incentives to make your house 'green' and energy-efficient.  This is a superb time to save on your utilities in the future and add value to your home at the same time.
6.)  You can be 'choosy' about the agent you work with.  Pick a professional who has the experience to understand the market condition and who can assist you in finding a good location and home that will hold the value, and who knows the pitfalls of negotiations in real estate.
7.)  AND, you can still be in your new home by the end of summer!

Now is the time! Let's sit down and make a plan for your future and get you in your home this Spring!
(If you have a home to sell first, let's get that taken care of)!
With the proper help, your current home WILL SELL!
