This is something that we (and I think many other agents) struggle with in the market today. We meet with a client and go over what we believe should be the list price of a home and it's seldom a pleasant conversation. Typically, sellers know it's worth less than it was a few years ago, but getting the price right today really is more important than it used to be.

A home gets it's most activity from potential buyers in the early part of a listing period - the first 2 weeks. If it isn't priced for the market, it won't get an offer. Still, seller's feel they need to leave room to negotiate because they feel they need to squeeze every penny they can out of their sale. It's a fair enough idea, but it isn't grounded in what the data says they should…

This information is compiled by Chartmasters for Keller Williams Realty Consultants. It is far more comprehensive and accurate than what you may find in the AJC or anywhere else. I am fortunate to work with an organization who can provide its agents critical information that we can use to help clients in a market that requires this information more than ever.

Short sales are not exactly an option for us as agents to enter into the MLS so providing a search that pulls short sales listed for sale is not something that you can find in many places - if at all and I'm not giving away the technology!

Search Atlanta short sales.

This is an addition to one of the only real foreclosure searches available to consumers. If this is your first visit to our website, welcome! We are glad you are here. Pay attention to the image posted just below. You will really want to make sure you save one of these searches so that you will be first in line when they…

I just want to send a short thank you to Morgan Carey and the entire staff of Real Estate Webmasters, especially Jamie and Michael who were instrumental in developing this website. The new site marks a considerable improvement over my old website and should provide our sellers even more exposure for their listings directly to buyers. Fundamentally, I wanted to provide the best Atlanta real estate website for consumers to use during their home search. I wanted to have the best search tools and methods of organizing their home search that they could find anywhere on the internet.

With that in mind, we upgraded the overall design and layout as well as creating much more functional school and subdivision searches. Google street view will be installed in the…
