The city of Milton is located in the northwest section of Fulton County and has historically been "horse country" with numerous equestrian farms, stables, rolling hills and beautiful pasture. Since its incorporation, Milton has been on the fast track (really, there was a great deal of activity in the years leading up to incorporation, but, more has happened since). Close in real estate gets more and more expensive and what you to be be far out is now 'close in'. Milton falls into the category of not being thought of as far out anymore.

Milton is certainly one of the more popular areas in Atlanta right now and there are lots of reasons for this; great schools, beautiful and affordable homes and land! Lots of land! Milton real estate has been increasing in…

And I'm In!

Here is my entry in the greatest real estate agent in the world contest.

I'm excited about the opportunity to learn and share what works and what doesn't as the contest unfolds and I hope that everyone involved is willing to share as well. I think this is a great opportunity for all of us to learn how best to use the internet to market for our clients as well as ourselves.

So with that in mind, as the contest moves forward, I will post some of the techniques that I am using to try and help me rank my entry as high as possible. So here is the first tip:

I have entered this entry into my strongest category on the blog because I want it to have the most punch pointing a link back to my entry. What's the lesson here? Well, it's simple...We need…

The next few posts will be about the area within Atlanta that I live, Alpharetta. For quite some time, Alpharetta has been used as a general area which now consists of two additional cities; John's Creek and Milton. So, from now on I will separate statistics as best as is possible into the correct areas because agents are beginning to list homes in the correct cities making the statistics more and more accurate. Alpharetta (not John's Creek and Milton), can still be broken in to 2 different areas and three different zip codes; East Alpharetta (30022 and 30005) and West Alpharetta (30004) and is separated basically by Georgia 400 which runs north and south from Atlanta up through Cumming and beyond. Personally, I think it would be more accurate to talk…

The slower sales of real estate has increased inventory of homes across Metro Atlanta and Alpharetta is no exception. Interestingly, many buyers seem to be catching on to the idea that there are more homes to choose from and we have seen much more interest in the last few weeks on the part of buyers. A couple of interesting notes of interest as I have been out with buyers;

Currently I have three buyers looking at homes for sale in Alpharetta and have looked at quite a few homes in the last two weeks. Most of these homes have major problems impeding a sale.…

The city of Roswell consistently ranks as one of the top places to live in the nation and one of the fantastic benefits to residents is Roswell's commitment to its parks and recreation.

Chastain Park has long been one of the most popular areas in all of Atlanta, and for very good reasons. It's location makes for an easy commute to almost anywhere in Atlanta and the Park itself, Atlanta's largest, has outdoor activities for all ages. Chastain Park is located on the very northern edge of Buckhead in the city of Atlanta. However, in a practical sense, real estate around Chastain Park can either be in Buckhead or in Sandy Springs. To try and bring you the most relevant information regarding the Chastain Park real estate market, I have drawn a circle around Chastain Park with a one mile radius to from the center which we will call Chastain Park real estate. This provides real statistics for what most people in Atlanta will call the Chastain…

Since we are in a buyers market, and everyone knows it, buyers feel like they can pull the rug out from underneath sellers. Nowhere is there a better chance for buyers to succeed at obtaining a great deal on a home than in the new construction market. This will change as we move through 2008, but, for right now new construction homes might be the best all around value around.
