Atlanta
Real Estate... deciding where to live!
As your Atlanta Relocation Specialists, we are here to provide
you with expert advice on areas we believe would be a perfect fit for you
and you family according to your needs & desires.
For any business professional or family looking to relocate to Atlanta,
it can be quite frustrating, because finding the most desirable area in Atlanta
is rather confusing without expert knowledge of the many areas Atlanta
has to choose from. Atlanta Homes for Sale are plentiful,
so once we have narrowed down a general area or Atlanta suburb that you &
your family are comfortable with, finding the home that best fits your needs
becomes much easier & a lot more fun!
From our experience in dealing with families and professionals moving to the
Atlanta areas, we have found that price, distance to work, and proximity to
schools and shops are 3 major determining factors when buying a home. We are
here to answer all your questions about these factors and many others, with
our expertise and friendly advice!
Families relocating to Atlanta tend to enjoy the suburban
community type of living, as here they can enjoy lower priced homes, excellent
schools, and communities that are typically closer to the many Atlanta
Shopping Malls.
Business Professionals, on the other hand, seem to gravitate toward living
in the City of Atlanta where exclusive Atlanta Condos offer
majestic views to the Atlanta City skyline, as well asa fashionable
night life with amazing Restaurants and Bars. Because of the close proximity
& convenience to the city, however, these homes/condos come with higher
taxes, higher prices and more traffic congestion than the Atlanta
Suburban Areas.
Please remember, our services are always FREE to use, and unlike many other
States, we do NOT work on retainers and there is no obligation to use our
services; We are confident, however, that after speaking with us, you will
feel comfortable enough with us to work with us as YOUR Atlanta Realtor!
Atlanta
city living VS Atlanta suburban living.
For those living in the city, Atlanta offers a fashionable
night life with amazing Restaurants and Bars and the convenience of having
all 4 Atlanta professional sport team arenas right in downtown,
Atlanta.
Areas such as Vinings, Chastain, Brookhaven, Five Points,
College Park, Virginia Highlands and Buckhead make up some
of the trendy neighborhoods of inner city living. Of these areas, Buckhead
is the most notorious, offering extravagant Atlanta Highrise living,
some of Atlanta's best restaurants (check out Buckhead Life
Group) and exclusive malls such as Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza.
City living however, may not be for everyone, and Atlanta city living is no
exception.
Inner city Atlanta Real Estate is rather expensive for some
(but quite inexpensive when compared with NY City, San Francisco, or other
such areas), real estate taxes are higher than in the suburbs of Atlanta,
and traffic is a little more congested, but in closer proximity perhaps to
your workplace!
From incredible golf and tennis communities to wonderful Atlanta Equestrian
neighborhoods, suburban Atlanta Communities and Neighborhoods
offer a dream lifestyle for those who have families or children or those active
singles looking to swim, golf, play tennis, volleyball, etc. on a weekly basis.
Atlanta Golfing Communities offer some of the finest Real
Estate and amenities for those looking to relax and unwind from the week.
Real Estate taxes are less expensive in the Atlanta
suburbs, schools tend to be rated higher than in the city (unless
they are attending a private school of course) and Real Estate
prices are...... well, let's just say you get much more BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
when living in the suburbs!!
Depending on what side of the city you choose to live in, the Atlanta
northern suburbs of Alpharetta, Cumming
and Duluth offer you the added relaxation of Lake-side recreation
on Lake Lanier, whereas the areas of Canton, Woodstock,
Acworth, Kennesaw and Marietta offer water
sport activities on Lake Allatoona.
Atlanta Mortgage Lenders... why it's best to use local!
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of using a local Atlanta
mortgage lender. More often than not, Homebuyers relocating to the
Atlanta area are set on using a mortgage lender from their state because the
lender may be referred by a friend or relative, or they are trying to go through
their local, familiar banking center ... Unfortunately, using the out of state
lenders can cause many problems and slowdowns to occur throughout the loan
process.
Local Atlanta Mortgage Lenders know the specific closing
and Real Estate laws of Georgia, whereas out of state lenders
tend NOT to be familiar with the closing protocol. The last thing a Homebuyer
wants or needs when buying an Atlanta home in a new city
is to have last minute problems with their loan which will delay their closing
or cause unnecessary stress to all involved. We want your home buying experience
to be fun and as stress free as possible, so please consider using a local
lender. (If you choose to use a lender from a large
Corporation such as Wells Fargo, Chase, or Bank or America, they do have local
branches in the Atlanta area.)
