Although other states have been hit harder than Georgia in Foreclosures, there are some great buys right here in our area.  We can provide a list of these  properties and tips on how to buy a  bank owned property, also known as an REO property.

Short Sales are also on the rise.  This is when the seller owes more to the lender than the property is worth and the lender agrees to take a lesser amount to help get the home sold and help the seller.

If  you are a seller that needs help navigating through this process, call us.

If you are a buyer interested in helping these sellers move on to their next step, call us!

We have the knowledge, resources, and want to help!

Home to several plantation houses from the Civil War era, historically rich Roswell is committed to a family-friendly environment.
It has some of the best public schools in the state, the lowest crime rate in the region, and a myriad of outdoor activities, making it easy to understand why families flock to this affluent Atlanta suburb.

Residents love their many public events, including the monthly Alive after Five summer festival, with plenty of food, shopping, and live music. –J.S.

Money Magazine

Sandy Springs and Roswell made CNN Money.com’s compilation published Monday.

The median family income in Sandy Springs was $115,171 in 2009, and in Roswell it was $113,750, according to the online publication.
That compares with $172,541 in top-ranked Bethesda, Md.  and Wheaton, Il., with a median of $113,517.
The list is based on massaged numbers from census data, and only two places per state could qualify.

No Georgia community appeared on the list of cities with the highest average temperature in July.  Phew…That’s good!  Top-place honors for that went to Yuma, Ariz., where the thermometer reading averaged 106.5 degrees.

The numbers are for cities with 50,000 to 300,000 residents. The lists also appear in the August issue of Money Magazine.

 Roswell! It’s a GREAT place to live, work and play!
