Snow in Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth and More!

What’s up with this weather?! We've got snow in Kennesaw, Marietta, Acworth and More!
As I sit here looking out the window at the snow falling down, I am amazed that today is
March 2, and it’s snowing outside…again. Really, you can hardly see the yard it’s coming down so fast.
And everything is quite. The phone is not ringing. Nobody wants to look at houses today in this weather. So it seems it’s a nice day to enjoy the quiet.
The problem is I like to be doing something. If I’m not out with a Marietta buyer or helping a Kennesaw seller stage and/or put their house in order for sale, the truth is I am bored. I really like to be doing things and not sitting. I like the quiet, but not for too long.
I have an idea. Just a thought, but here I am sitting…

Things Are Getting Better in the Marietta Real Estate Market!

Things Are Getting Better!
Concerning the real estate market in Kennesaw, Marietta and Acworth, I feel like Kevin Costner’s character in the movie, “THE POSTMAN.” He was heard to say, “Things are getting better. Things are getting better every day.” And that is what happened in the movie and is happening here in Georgia!
One thing I have learned is it is just as easy to believe for the good as it is to believe for the bad. So, that is exactly what we need to do—believe for the good. And don’t be surprised when that is exactly what comes your way because things are getting better.
Buyers are still in the market. Sellers are still selling, though fewer. But one thing that I notice is if your house is priced competitively and you have done some updates…
Snowing on Kennesaw Real Estate
Friday, February 12th, 2010 at 7:35pm. 32 Views, 0 Comments.
As I sit looking out my office window at the beautiful falling snow, I am thinking of all the things I really need to be doing. I am also thinking about this housing market and how, when my home owners update the areas of their homes I suggest before putting them on the market, it seems they always sell fast.
Now, while it is true that you still have to be competitively priced when you sell your home, you also want your home to look up-to-date so you can enjoy it. As I sit here, I am thinking about why we all, (myself included,) wait till we are about to sell our homes before we update them. It’s really inexpensive to change a bathroom’s color or tile (one bath at a time) or paint a room and it just doesn’t take that long.
So, try these things: Take…

Vacation in New Zealand!
Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at 9:46am. 64 Views, 0 Comments.
Bud and I just returned from our vacation to winter weather here in beautiful Kennesaw, GA. We are glad to be back but hated saying goodbye to our children and grandson, family and friends in sunny (and warm) New Zealand. It was a wonderful trip.
While there, we actually took a little side trip to a small resort area call Hahei, on the Coromandel Peninsula located on the North Island of NZ. It was one of the most beautiful places I have had the privilege of visiting in my life. We spent about five days there and then we went to the farm where our daughter and her husband and our Grandson live.
We actually got to see a real working dairy farm with 440 head of cattle, drink yummy unpasteurized milk in our coffee everyday and enjoy the perfect weather.…
Laughing at Your Pain

This will just make you laugh at our Southern-ness…
Since our home is in Kennesaw GA and our Grand kids live out of state, we get to hear a lot of stories from their parents second hand; but this one is so good I just had to share it with you.
While talking to my Son-in-Love the other day he was telling us how our 3 ½ year old Grandson had fallen off a stool. He had hit his back and was explaining to his dad where it hurt and just how bad it was hurting too. He said, “It really hurt dad…” Then he looked up, rolled his eyes thinking about what to say and said, “…like the chickens.”
We all laughed ‘til we cried... Maybe it’s just the love of grandchildren; maybe it’s just really funny. At any rate we wanted to share with our readers.
P.S. For all you…
Inoculation Consideration

Here is something to take into consideration before you get that flu shot. Looking for a home or trying to sell one doesn't have to be work all of the time. See if this will tickle your funny bone.
Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?
Oh NO! The inspector is coming—TOMORROW!

You have just sold your home after enduring it being on the market for all that time and the home inspector is on the way! What is the process and what should we do? Glad you asked!
When an inspector completes the assessment, the results go to the purchaser of your home with the recommendation to have a licensed person come out and fix the items found. When the buyer sees that recommendation the thought is firmly implanted in their mind that they must have a “licensed whoever” correct the problem. The inspection becomes part of the contract for all intents and purposes, and even if you are perfectly capable of fixing the “whatever” they found, they will want to see a receipt where you paid to have it fixed. I’ve seen this same thing take place thousands…
My 55th Birthday
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 at 5:08pm. 71 Views, 1 Comments.
I recently had a birthday and had such a wonderful time that I thought I would blog about it and since you all are dying to know what kind of cake I had, I thought I would share this with you.
We went to the Marietta Diner for our dessert which is supposed to be a famous place of old, in Marietta. It is located near Sam’s and the Big Chicken on 41. We didn't eat it there, since we had just finished a delicious dinner of Veal Gorgonzola at Vincent’s on Barrett Parkway, (there’s a plug for you Paul!) so we just got the cake to go and went home to eat it.
It was a little after nine when we got home so I missed Skype-ing (that was such a bummer) with my grandbabies. But that’s another story.
At any rate, we walked into this big building with about a…
