Welcome!

I am an Atlanta native and made the decision in 2007 to leave my job as an architect/urban planner to get my real estate license. This was a difficult decision but has been great since my very first day in my new career and I am really enjoying it! It is so rewarding helping people find that perfect home, and it allows me to continue to satiate my love of good architecture and great neighborhoods!

I attended Georgia Tech (GO JACKETS!!!!) which is where I met my husband. For almost a decade we lived in one of Atlanta's fabulous in-town neighborhoods in a great 1920's Craftsman bungalow with our two dogs and two cats. Following the birth of our first child, we bought a foreclosure in the west Buckhead area and fully renovated it using an FHA 203k loan, which was a fun and sometimes daunting process. And just prior to the birth of our second child, we purchased and renovated a home in downtown Historic Roswell, completing our personal tour of some of Atlanta's best neighborhoods to live in!

I decided to create this blog in order to share useful information and resources about the real estate market and home buying process, as well as hopefully bring some humor and levity to what is often a complex and intimidating process. Enjoy!!!

Several sources predicting a continued rise in home prices!

The past 6 months have seen a real surge in the housing market.  I know I personally have been swamped, which is fantastic!  Inventory is incredibly low and homes are selling faster and for more money than I have seen in years.  Recently several national sources have come out with studies supporting what I have personally been seeing and predictions that this great market will continue. Great news!  If you have been considering selling your home, now is the time! Most of my listings since November have sold in less than a week and for at least 98% of the list price (if not OVER list price).  I would love to help yours do the same!
