Cherokee County–Gateway to the Mountains

Cherokee County was recently listed as the 18th fastest growing county in the country.  There are many reasons for this with the 2 biggest being low taxes and affordable housing.  There is so much development going on in northern Cherokee it is hard to list it all, but I will mention some of the more exciting things coming soon.  The Bluffs at Technology Park, located in Canton, is a beautiful 700-acre office park that features professional office and business space in low and mid-rise buildings.  One of two new buildings is now completed and the first tenants are moving in this month! Another exciting addition to the Canton area is being billed as the “largest open-air mall in the Southeast.”  So far some of the anchor stores are SuperTarget, Kohls, Lowes and JCPenney.  Many more will be coming and are slated to open in early 2009.  Downtown Canton is also being noted for its Canton Theatre productions and County Arts Center.  These are both very active programs with productions and workshops going on all year long.  For more information on residential or commercial real estate please contact me - Sue B at 678-549-4949.

Quick tips to sell your home faster.

It is a buyers market–inventory of homes has doubled - but nice homes that are priced right are selling every day. Here are a few quick tips to make your house more buyer-friendly. Remember that the way you live in a home is not the way you sell a home. You will have to inconvenience yourself during this “marketing” period–you can’t expect to leave your home in its “lived-in” state unless you are naturally a total clean-freak. The three C’s of staging are important: Clean — Color — Clutter. Clean means Q-tip clean! Think of yourself as a buyer walking through another persons home. Do you get excited about moving into that home when you walk into a messy kitchen or dirty bathroom? Color really refers to “neutral” colors. Bright and unique colors may match your furniture and art work - but probably not the majority of buyers. Yes, it is easy to paint, but most buyers do not want to have to paint - they lead busy lives and want a “move-in” ready home — unless it is offerred at enough of a discount to make it worth the extra effort or cost of painting. Lastly is the biggest C — Clutter. A good HGTV show to watch is “Sell this House” - Roger the home stager looks more like a wrestler but he works miracles in hard to sell homes every show. The before and after viewing of the home is sometimes so amazing you cannot recognize it as the same house — and most of his time is spent making the seller remove and pack away clutter. Packing it away is a good idea because you are moving anyway - you might as well get a good start at it. Call or email me and I will be happy to send more seller info and tips to help you stage and prepare your home for a quick and easy sale.
