October 2nd, 2009Categories: Georgia Mountain Community reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Home Seller's reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Real Estate VIEWS

It’s a sensational headline — “The Sellers’ Deadly Sins” — but the message is clear.  Home sellers make mistakes that not only cost themselves thousands, but sometimes cost the sale, too.

NBC’s The Today Show lays it out cleanly in this 5-minute video:

1. How to respond to an “insulting offer”

2. How to handle the first purchase offer you receive

3. What do when you can’t leave your home for its Open House

4. What room in the home should be kept the neatest

But, be aware.  At the video’s end, there’s a piece of advice that may sound extremely self-serving coming from a real estate professional.  Don’t let it turn you off.  The video’s overall message is spot-on and the advice is real-world tested.

I have to say that there is some really good advice within this video. The funny thing is this is the advice that is usually the hardest to offer to a client as a Realtor. However as a Seller, this is invaluable information to remember.

If you or someone you know is looking to sell your North Georgia Mountain Home or Cabin, please give me a call at 706-994-8686, or you can Contact Me through this website.

Selling a home is a process. Make sure to do it properly.

November 3rd, 2007Categories: Georgia Mountain Real Estate VIEWS, Professional Associate reVIEWS

I have asked a good friend and business associate Byron Wyndham of  J. Byron Wyndham and Associates Attorneys at Law to work with me in providing my readers with weekly advice on Real Estate Law in the North Georgia Mountains.

 

J. Byron Wyndham is an attorney with over 25 years experience in Georgia real estate law. He has represented buyers, sellers, real estate agents, and lenders within his practice. A graduate of the College of William and Mary in Virginia, he began his practice in 1973. He has endeavored to work with all parties required in the purchase of a new home with a professional and understanding attitude and demeanor.

 

 Although I have asked Byron to share with my readers advice on Real Estate Law, Byron thought it best that he break into the blogosphere with what he feels is his favorite time of year in the North Georgia Mountains. I told him I would let it slide just this one time, next time I would have to fire him! Byron truly does have a passion for mountain living, and he like so many, feels very fortunate to be able to work and live in such a beautiful place. Byron is seldom seen around town without a big ol’ smile on his face. I hope you enjoy his prelude to what I am sure will be very valuable information in his weekly real estate tips and advice in future posts on the Porch.

It’s Cold, It’s Wet, It’s Gray….It’s Perfect!

 Many people do not come to the mountains in the winter. They think it would be like going to Buffalo and being stuck in the ultimate experience of cold and the snow. They are sure that they would get snowed in, lose heat, electricity and not be able to get out and go home. They believe the perfect time to visit the mountains is in the spring, summer and fall when all is green or colorful. Read the rest of this entry »
