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.

Why are so many people moving to Northwest GA? The main reasons are: 1. cost of living 2. weather 3. proximity to Atlanta 4. gorgeous mountain scenery. Many Floridians that cannot put up with the astronomical cost of housing or the incredibly high taxes & insurance are heading to the mountains, literally! We call them half-backs here — because they do not move all the way back home up north — just half-way back. Many new home communities are springing up in the area–developers are managing to build beautiful homes at affordable prices while keeping the natural beauty surrounding the neighborhood. Most of the new home communities have a 20-40% ratio of land that they keep as green space, to be used for nature trails, picnic grounds or just as a scenic buffer for a more private community. Creekside Estates, Little Bear, Silver Creek, Great Sky, Governors Preserve, River Green and Wolf Creek are just a few of these “green space” developments. Your home-life can be tranquil and serene yet you may actually be only 5-10 minutes from shopping, schools and interstate. Cherokee County is working hard with developers to keep the area’s natural beauty but to allow some room for growth and development also. Canton, GA is getting ready to welcome two very large developments in the near future. The Bluffs Technology Park is a 740 acre mixed used community for business, residential and retail. It will also include a 370 acre reservoir with 15 miles of shoreline. Another new addition coming soon is billing itself as the largest open-air mall in Georgia. Many name-brand stores will be coming along with some great restaurants and entertainment venues. Southern hospitality reigns - even if many of the residents are recent transplants. Featured in this article is a 5 bedroom/3bath house in Creekside Estates. This neighborhood is surrounded by a backdrop of mountain vistas, creeks and waterfalls. If you are needing some “elbow room” this is the neighborhood for you. No lot is under 1 acre and the trees and natural topography have been left alone as much as possible. Call me to see this beautiful home - or other homes in Creekside Estates or neighborhing communities.

North Georgia is quickly becoming a very sought-after area to live in. There are many reasons for this - number one being the amazingly affordable home prices! I think the number two reason is that it is such a beautiful area - it is hard to find a spot where you can look out at the horizon and NOT see a mountain range in the distance. Of course crystal clear mountain lakes, very low taxes, a great interstate system, state of the art medical facilities, top-notch restaurants and fantastic shopping all add to the appeal too.

Another important attraction is the senior discount on property taxes. I have shown gorgeous homes to clients and been shocked to notice the $350 annual tax fee on the real estate listing! It is a senior-friendly community in many other ways too. But don’t get me wrong - it is also a great area to raise a family. Cherokee

County schools are rated very highly and of course all the new schools are equipped with the best state of the art technology available. Teachers in the county participate in seminar training and have extensive post grad education requirements that must be met. The majority of large neighborhoods in this area have recreational facilities that could compete with vacation destinations. Zero-entry pools, tennis courts, log-cabin clubhouses, safe-play playground equipment, hiking trails, reservoirs, golf, and beautiful lakes with campgrounds galore!

I do consider myself a North Georgia Expert. If I don’t know an answer to a question you may have - I know where to go to find it! I would love to introduce you to “mountain living”, affordable prices and fresh air. Call me or email and let’s plan an outing where I can show you all this fantastic area has to offer.
