PILOTING THE PERFECT MOVE

No I do not have a thing for cemeteries. This is the second post about cemeteries in the last few months. I came across a brief article in the Sandy Springs Reporter about this small family plot that was found in back of 795 Sudbury Road in Sandy Springs. Some think that the plots are from the first few settlers in the Sandy Springs and Dunwoody area. The Ball Family is buried there and the headstones date back to the mid-1800’s. It looks like a family was buried there.

Being the Sandy Springs History buff that I am, I got in my car and punched in 795 Sudbury Road into my GPS. It brought me to a location just a couple of miles from my home. The cemetery is located behind the house. You can use the driveway but be mindful that this is private property. There is right of way to the cemetery. You will see the signs. Do not disturb the site. If you know anything about this family buried there, please contact the number in the article.

Have fun and don’t be to scared!

The other day I was talking with a prospective client and they had reservations about Realtors.  They simply thought that many of them lacked the professional skills that one would find in the business world.  Sadly, in my mind, I had to agree.  Many of my peers just do not get it when it comes to treating their practice as a business.  In as much as I feel sorry for these souls, I feel sorry their clients who choose them and do not realize what type of service they are getting.  I have been on the other side of negotiations and have watched other agents sell out their clients or drop the ball on doing what is right for their clients.   On the other hand, there are many fantastic agents out there.  It is just too bad that some bad apples tarnish the reputation of the others. My goal is to turn my clients into raving fans and PILOT THE PERFECT MOVE.

Let me know what you think.

The two answers to the above questions may surprise you. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), June is the month that the national average sale price for home is highest. In June 2007, homes averaged $229,000. The home price was lowest in February 2007, where it was $195,000. You would think that since more homes are on the market in the summer that the prices would be lower. Let me know what you think….

What can we learn from the classic story of the Three Little Pigs?

We can learn that if the first two pigs had a good realtor, they would not have built a house which could have been knocked down by the big bad wolf. The third pig, more than likely taking the advice from an expert Realtor, built his home strong and sturdy. Don’t be like the first two pigs and risk you and your family’s life!

MORAL OF THE STORY: The two pigs would not have lost their home if I was their Realtor. In fact, I would have used my trademark FOCUS, DETERMINATION, and PRECISION which would have allowed me to PILOT THE PERFECT MOVE. If you saw my previous post “How A Good Realtor Can Help You Have Better Sex…”, you would know that the first two pigs would have a better sex life as well.

To refresh your memories of this great story, please view this video clip of Christopher Walken telling the tale. I think you will enjoy it.

Have you ever felt as if you were the two little pigs after working with a Realtor? Please share your experiences.

It is nice to see that there is an instance that the developers are not redeveloping our natural resources. A generous landowner has donated a 24 acre parcel which sits on the Chattahoochee River just outside I-285 to the city of Sandy Springs. See the link for more information. I am surprised that the city didnot approve a high rise, high density development on this property.
