I have been licensed and practicing Real Estate in Atlanta for over seven years and I LOVE my career!!! As a Broker with the #1 Real Estate Office in Metro Atlanta I have an amazing team supporting me and my clients, regardless of their individual needs. I feel even more committed during the housing downturn we are powering through in 2009. The opportunities are boundless for buyers, investors, and – yes! – sellers! This is the market to hire a full time professional such as me to represent your best interests and guide you through the “new” processes and almost daily changes. I take my clients commitment to me seriously and I practice fiduciary representation – placing my client’s interests FIRST. A design major in college, I do enjoy the staging and showing aspects of Real Estate. My true love, however, is in the great friendships I have formed with my many clients over the years. My heart is in my work and I strive to bring all of my clients the highest in ethics, up to date education on the economic and strategic factors involved in buying or selling, and assisting them with one of the largest investments most Americans make in their lifetime. Homeownership is one of the few remaining investments that APPRECIATES over time – and STILL can qualify for a tax deduction. The historically low affordability index and interest rate factors in play coupled with the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit make for an amazing time in history. Serving buyers with finding their dream home is truly a journey I consider to be an honor to take with my clients. During the housing downturn many current homeowners are also taking advantage of the market to move-up, downsize, or purchase a second home. My goal is to market and list their home to sell – multiple offers are happening in this market all over the Metro Atlanta area. My goal when representing a seller is to give them the opportunity to choose the BEST contract on their home – not the only contract! For sellers who are struggling with their mortgage and are “upside down” I offer assistance and guidance with pre-foreclosure sales – also known as “short sales”. Please note that fees are typically paid by the lender and think twice before working with anyone who offers to “save” you or assist you for a fee! If I am unable to assist you I will refer you to the appropriate agency or resource. Feel free to contact me for a confidential consultation – at no charge of course – today. In these cases it’s best to get started early! There are aspects of real estate sales that seem pretty simple. There are many elements of a smooth transaction, however, that are complicated and daunting. I can help you with every aspect of buying or selling your home because I’m experienced, because I’m professional . . .and because I care. I am happy to answer any questions you may have & I look forward to earning your business. - Blake |
