5 red flags for buyers
Buying a home can possibly be one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make! It goes without question that you want to feel comfortable with the people you are working with. When it comes to real estate, I believe your agent should be someone who has helped others avoid red flags if possible. That is why our team has put together this list for you, "The 5 Red Flags to look out for when buying a home".

3 Things To Consider When Shopping Locally This Christmas Season
With Christmas just around the corner, have you started shopping yet? While it is so easy to order online and let’s be honest, the Amazon truck comes to our house way too often, there is something to be said about walking into a store. Browsing the stores for the perfect gifts for your loved ones can be fun, and can make a difference in our communities.
First thing to consider is when we shop at locally-owned businesses, we bring money back to the communities we live in. According to national statistics, for every $100 spent in a locally owned store, 68 dollars stay right in our community. When we shop at the big box chain store, only 43 dollars stay in our community. That's a huge difference when our goal is to contribute to the growth of our...

What is a bait and switch? This is where a buyer starts out by waving all the contingencies and bidding over the asking price. This is the bait part.
The first couple of days when a seller and buyer are under contract is when the buyer can have any home inspections they would like to have done. This is what we call "due diligence" here in Georgia, this is where the bait and switch usually happens. The switch is when they all of a sudden try to lower the price...
