The city of Atlanta is huge! It’s spread out and the traffic can be horrendous! More and more people are moving closer to their work or where they love to play in order to avoid long delays in the traffic.
One quiet oasis is located just 7 miles outside the perimeter in Gwinnett County. It’s called the City of Berkeley Lake. Berkeley Lake is a short drive off I-285. You’ll take the Peachtree Industrial Exit and head north for those quick 7 miles. In case you encounter traffic, you can choose to stay on PIB (Peachtree Industrial) or take a left and follow Peachtree Parkway through the growing city of Peachtree Corners.

We are all watching HGTV. They make it look easy to take an old, run down house and turn it in to a shiny, new, renovated home most any buyer would love to purchase at a premium price.
This year, we’ve helped buy and sell several “fixer-uppers”. Here’s what we’ve found:
- it’s not as easy as it looks. There are more buyers (including investors) than sellers in todays market. You have to be creative in finding homes that are distressed and in need of repair. You must be diligent in searching the MLS listings, create relationships with REO agents, and possibly spend time on the court-house steps in order to find the right property. You will see many houses that are overpriced and will not make a profit for you in in the long run.

You’re out on a Sunday afternoon looking at open houses in your favorite neighborhoods. You aren’t really serious. You are “just looking”. You see a cute house with great curb appeal, so you stop by. You fall in love with the house! The agent asks you to fill out the open house info sheet, and there’s a spot for “are you working with an agent”. Do you put “yes” or “no”?
If no- then please check out the list below on why you need a buyers agent.

We all want to purchase real estate at a good and fair price. If we can get a great deal on a property, that’s even better. One way to get a really good deal is to purchase a short sale. A short sale basically means the owner of the property is selling it for less than their mortgage. The financial institution may or may not approve of this sale. Many times, the owner is already in default of the loan and the bank is willing to accept a lower payout. If a short sale is something you want to pursue, here’s what to anticipate.
