Today, I want to discuss a few of the many great reasons for selling your Atlanta home this time of year. Here are a few things to keep in mind: 

• Your yard looks no worse than anyone else's. Everyone's trees are bare and everyone's yard is brown. Yours isn't the only home that doesn't have as great of curb appeal as it does in the summertime.
  
  
• Buyers are more motivated. Sure, there a lot fewer buyers -- but the ones who are out and looking now are highly motivated. They are actually going to buy!
  
  
• There is less competition. There are fewer homes for sale during the fall and winter months, meaning there is less competition for you!
  
  

Don't wait until the spring because that's when ALL the buyers come out!

Really, if you're ready to sell, there is no reason to wait. If you have questions about your particular circumstances, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Now that the fall is here and you're thinking about selling your home, you're probably debating whether you should hire an agent to help you. With so many agents out in the field, how can you choose one who will really go the distance for you? After 30 years of selling real estate, I think the best thing you can do is ask each agent you interview these three questions:

Can they sell?
 
Nobody wants the pushy type of salesperson representing them. You want somebody who is fluid, persuasive, and comfortable in their own skin.

Do they have a track record?
 
No agent is walking around with a sign that says how many homes they have sold. Many agents look like they can do their jobs, but you really need to look at their track records to find out which agent is truly the best. Nowadays, the Internet can help you do this easily!

Do they have references?
 
Find people they have actually worked with. Find out whether they did a good job and were easy to work with. People who have had past experiences with the agent you plan to hire are great resources.
 
If you have any questions about what you can do to find a great agent, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!

Who's Buying Homes in Atlanta?

When you sell your home, it's important to know who might be buying. If you have an audience that you know will be interested in your home, it's much easier to market your property to them.

I've done some research and come up with some statistics on who's buying homes in North Atlanta.

• 34% of our buyers are Millennials (age 34 and younger). This is creating a move-up market because they are buying starter homes, and then the sellers are moving up into larger homes.

• 27% of our buyers are 35-49 years old.

• 31% of our market are the Baby Boomers, who are 50-68 years old.

• Only 10% of our market consists of buyers that are 69 or older.

What does this mean for you? It means that you have a good chance to move up into a better home because of the push from Millennial buyers.With interest rates as low as they are right now, this is a phenomenal time to move up into a nicer, better home.
