Harry’s Caravaca Market To Open Spring 2017 at Trace Midtown

September 1, 2016 by Thom Abbott

Harry’s Caravaca Market To Open Spring 2017 at Trace Midtown

Do you even remember when it looked like this?

Trace Midtown Peachtree 5th Street

Fast forward to 2016, and that green space that once was, has become Trace Midtown, an apartment building with 290 homes and a unique restaurant space that fronts Peachtree Street.

Caravaca Market will take that space, come Spring, 2017!! The restaurant/urban market concept will occupy some 5,981 sq.ft. and include an “urban market,” bakery, cafe, wine shop and craft beer bar. (This could be nice!) The restaurant is from chef and TV host, Harry Pagancross. 

This will certainly bring to life a dead block along Peachtree Street, although many dog walkers I’m sure are missing all that green space that once was. We’ll be looking for the opening of this space next year! Stay tuned!

You can see a rendering of the restaurant at WhatNowAtlanta.com

Five Tips For Selling Your Condo Quickly

April 23, 2016 by Thom Abbott

With the ever-so-hot Atlanta real estate market, you may think you can just put your condo on the market and ….BAM! It will be Under Contract. That could be true for some of you. But, if you have plans to buy a house, or some other significant reason that has you putting your condo on the market….you might just need…

Five Tips For Selling Your Condo Quickly

Price

pre approved mortgageI consult with Sellers almost every day. And I totally understand that every dollar you make from your sale of your condo can go towards the purchase of your next home. But when you play the pricing game, you may not win if you are looking for a quick sale. Take a look at the comparative sales (comps) that I (or any agent) will show you. And price your condo there…if not even below that price. A condo that does not have a huge price tag is going to appeal to agents and buyers alike.

No Personal and No Pets

If you have been living in your condo for a few years, you have stuff. (Unless you truly are a minimalist…..and I’ve not seen many.) That stuff is personal items from those wedding photos (maybe THAT is why we are moving?) to the great group shot from that mud run….these things need to go in storage bins…and go to storage. There are numerous storage places around Intown Atlanta where you can get a small storage room for your….stuff.

And pets. Nothing can kill a sale like pet odors. Even if the potential buyer has a pet themselves, no one wants to smell….or “see” them. Make sure you remove pets for showings. If you are at work during the day….doggie day care is a great option. And then tuck pet dishes away.

A 2 Bedroom Looks Like a 2 Bedroom

Tips to Sell your Condo FastNow this CAN work both ways. If your second bedroom is a home office, that just might appeal to the buyer who also wants space for a home office. On the other hand, if they are looking for a 2 bedroom condo, and your’s “appears” to be a 1 bedroom with an office, they might not be able to see past this really IS the second bedroom. Again, I realize this could be hard to change in a condo….but make that office as clean and sleek as possible so the Buyer can visualize what they would use the room for.

Update…Not a Full Blown Remodel

Often times, one condo can look like another…and another. That’s because that is how they were built….in “stacks” such that 1504 looks like 1804 that looks like 2104. So if you are 1504….make it stand out above the others! The quickest, easiest thing you can do is paint! You might have a great color scheme or accent wall you just love. But that’s the point….YOU love it and the buyer does not! So THEY are thinking, “Ugh, I’ll have to paint this.” Remove THAT thought from their mind. A fresh neutral color not only gives a fresh, new feel to your condo, it helps that buyer think about their own colors….or not. Do you still happen to have the builder-grade little light fixture on the ceiling? A new ceiling fan/light can make a big difference. Has that kitchen sink taken a real beating? Replacing it could make the kitchen really shine. Think about other simple things like faucets or your cabinet hardware. Anything that makes your condo look unique and different can help lead to that quicker sale.

Technology Sells

Condo Marketing Tips For a Fast SaleEveryday when I search the MLS for properties for clients, I’m blown away at the horrible quality of photographs that are out there trying to sell someone’s home or condo. Seriously….I have to wonder if the Seller knows just how BAD their home is being marketed. Well, if I am looking at those photos, guess who else is. The potential buyer of your condo!!! Make sure your home shines online! This WILL BE the first place your home is shown! Look at the photos your listing agent takes (some of us are good at photography) or that the professional photographer takes. Just make sure they show the good features of your condo.

The days on market your condo faces can be greatly reduced by being aggressive from the moment you leave the starting gate. Also making your home readily available to show (24 hour notice, can only be shown on such and such days, etc) are not flexible to a buyer. In the hot Atlanta market, if  your listing goes live this morning….you best be prepared for showings this afternoon.

Get that potential Buyer in your condo….and let’s get it….SOLD!

Twisted Kitchen Midtown Atlanta to Open in January

December 12, 2015 by Thom Abbott

Twisted Kitchen Midtown AtlantaIndeed, we know that restaurants a plenty seems to be the retail du jour for Midtown Atlanta! And January will add a new option!

Twisted Kitchen Midtown Atlanta to Open in January

Twisted Kitchen, which currently has one outpost near Kennesaw State University, will be opening in January at University House on Spring and 8th Streets. According to owner Michael Cohen, “We’ve been ready to open since August. All the equipment and entire design is ready to go,” Cohen told What Now Atlanta (WNA) in a telephone conversation Tuesday.

Twisted Kitchen Midtown Menu“We’re just waiting on the permitting, but we should be open within 60 days.”

A glance at the menu from Kennesaw restaurant kinda makes your mouth water! The prices are extremely reasonable….and considering they are opening in a student apartment building, let’s hope they continue that trend. With lots of fresh ingredients to add to your pasta dish, this is sure to be a great spot for students…and student athletes looking for some good carbs!

Twisted Kitchen will certainly have some great neighbors to draw from as well. Currently, within a one block radius, you have Midcity Lofts, Plaza Midtown, Aqua, University House (where the restaurant is located) SQ5, another student apartment building, and under construction just behind the building is Modera Midtown. And the new NCR corporate headquarters has just broken ground next door as well!

It’s great to finally see some life coming to Spring Street, between 10th and 5th. The huge vacant lots that have been there forever and soon to be no more…being replaced by cool buildings and lots of people on the streets!

Once we’ve had a chance to sample Twisted Kitchen, we will report back to you!
