As I tell my neighbors and friends, when one lives in a high-rise condo – it is not a question of if water will ever invade your home but a question of when. So when you purchase a Midtown Atlanta condo, you NEED to have insurance!!!

This is an excellent article which goes more into Condominium Insurance requirements! Tim is a Property Manager in Midtown Atlanta and knows about these kinds of important things!

ATTENTION INVESTORS: Leasing Permits Now Available at 1010 Midtown Atlanta!

1010 Midtown Atlanta Condominiums

I’m contacted at least once a week by real estate investors looking to purchase a Midtown Atlanta condominium and rent it out. Unfortunately, my answer is always….”there are no Midtown Atlanta condo buildings that have available leasing permits, and the wait list time averages 3-5 years in buildings to get a leasing permit.”

1010 Midtown Atlanta has just changed that!!

Now available at 1010 Midtown are homes that have been leased out by the developer. (In otherwords, they have the leasing permits that would normally be available to a potential purchaser) This is really the best of both worlds. You are now able to purchase an investment property in one of Midtown Atlanta’s premiere condominium buildings, and you can purchase it with a lease already in place!

Let’s get you into 1010 Midtown Atlanta TODAY for an opportunity that will not be around forever!

Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyer’s Guide | Let’s Go Shopping!

Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyers Guide Let's Go ShoppingIn this column, we’ve made it past Finding Your Agent, Getting Pre-Approved for your loan, and your Desire vs. Require in what you want in your new home. Now, the Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyer’s Guide says Let’s Go Shopping! Or Looking for Your New Home!

Now that we have some money (that pre-approval letter) and an idea of what you are looking for (desire vs. require) it’s time for us to start looking for that home! We’ll both be looking…you’ll be on the Internet, reviewing all the different Midtown Atlanta Condo buildings that are highlighted here, or numerous other sites where homes For Sale might appear. As you look at various listings, make note of the MLS number that you will find on every listing. You can email, or text me those as you find them, and I can do additional research about them. At the same time, I’ll be searching from my side, looking for that home that fits those wants and needs we’ve already talked about.

So, we’ve found the first 10 homes we are going to look at. (When I take you out to look at homes, the MOST we will ever look at in one day is Ten. Anymore than that, and you will be lost and confused. When we meet, I’ll present you with a Home Tour Booklet. It will have information about each of the homes or condominiums that we are going to view. If time has permitted, I will have already previewed these homes, and have a pretty good idea of what  you might think. Also, by previewing the homes, I’m better informed to tell you about each one as we tour them.

 

 

Part of the Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyers Guide is your Home Tour Booklet. You’ll use it to make notes about what you like, or don’t like in each home. You might even rule a home out from any consideration at all. That page will get a line drawn through it. Our goal…at the end of they day, you’ll rank your Top Three homes that you’ve seen. If there was not another home to look at, and you had to make a decision today, what would be your First Choice? Plus, but the end of the day, you’ll forget which house had which!

I’m also asked if you can take pictures of a home so you have your OWN memory of the house to look at later. Vacant homes are no problem, and if the home is occupied, I always use caution as to what you want to take photos of that are perhaps already part of the listing.

In our next column, we’ll look at The Contract — The Offer!

Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyers Guide | Desire vs. Require

by

 

 

We all have our dream home. Maybe it has a resort-like pool in the back yard, or it’s the penthouse on the 36th floor, or it has mountain views. Whatever it may be, it may not always be. In this edition of the Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyers Guide, it’s Desire vs. Require.

Intown Atlanta Buyers Guide Wants and Needs ListWhen you start shopping for your new, or next home, you have to prioritize as to what you desire (want) and what you require (need). By establishing what you absolutely need in your new home (4 bedrooms, 3 baths, private balcony, fitness center, etc) it will help both you and I narrow down what homes to look at. Let’s look at both.

Require (NEED)

  • Location — Close to work, shopping, schools, or transit
  • Bedrooms/Bathrooms — Maybe you need them for family, guests or a home office/studio
  • Style — Condo vs. townhome vs. single family home. This goes back to location as well. Some locations won’t offer a high-rise condo, or the single family home options may be to expensive. (Think a condo on Peachtree Street vs. a single family home in Historic Midtown).

When purchasing your new/next home, think long term as well. If you are planning to stay in the home for several years, will the home “grow” with your needs. In otherwords, it will still be big enough in the future without having to make major renovations or add on. On the opposite side, if you think it may be a shorter stay, then location and price will be big factors in your ability to sell in a couple years.

Desire (WANT)

This is the wish list. If you can have it all, your home would include the Needs from above and this list of wants. They are a personal as you are.  From a three-car garage, to a spa master bath, private yard, the list can go on…and on…and on! But these are the things that you can live with out if your requirements have been met.

Intown Atlanta Real Estate Buyers GuideKeep in mind, these lists are going to vary, and some things will become interchangeable between them. You might have had Intown Atlanta Real Estate (living Inside the Perimeter – ITP) as a requirement. But as you search for the perfect home, one might show up in a different location. As your real estate agent, it’s my job to show you the options that fit your Desire and Require.  I often say that your list of homes is like a funnel. There are numerous choices as we start, but then we narrow them down for various reasons and out of the funnel comes the 5-10 (or whatever the number may be) homes for us to look at. And it could be 5 Midtown Atlanta condos, 5 Buckhead Condos and then maybe 5 homes in a certain neighborhood.

Listening For Your Needs and Wants

All of this is what makes working with a Home Buyer such a fun job for me! I like going through the various homes and condos, and as we do, I listen, and take notes. I see and hear what you like and don’t like, and along with the above Desire vs. Require, I start to “build” your home in my mind. Then as I do additional searches, I’ve got a good idea of what you are looking for.

When I work with a Home Buyer looking at Intown Atlanta Real Estate, I usually always try to preview all the homes I’m going to show you before you ever see them. If we have already been out shopping, some of my previews will quickly remove a home that I thought might have been a potential for you. But, we always review  all of them, because there might be that one thing a home has (require) that will trump the desire.

But as we work together, I get to know you and understand what you are looking for, and together, we’ll find that perfect home.

Next time, we talk about the process of looking at homes, or “Let’s Go Shopping!”
