2013 Reflections

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2013 was a fantastic year where we saw a rebound in the Atlanta real estate market for the first time since 2007.  I was privileged to close 21 transactions this year, which is about perfect: enough to keep me plenty busy, but not so many that I didn't have the time I wanted to devote to each client.  This allowed me to still give every client and transaction my full attention and high level of service that I strive for.  Throw in the addition of a new baby, plus renovating and moving into a new house, and 2013 was a knock-out year all around!

I always like to go back at the end of the year and review everything that happened to gauge what I did well and areas that can stand some improvement.  And because I like to be as transparent as possible, I'm going to share those reflections with you!

2013 stats:

I represented 10 sellers in $2.54M in transactions, with an average DOM of 20, and all but 2 sold in under 12 days. Average sales price of $254k and ranging from $132,000 to $446,000.  On average my listings sold for 99% of list price. Representing the neighborhoods of Grant Park, Buckhead, West Midtown, East Atlanta, Candler Park, Decatur, Marietta, Roswell, Mableton, Smyrna, Powder Springs, and East Cobb. 

I represented 11 buyers in $3.94M in transactions, with an average sales price of $359k, ranging from $149,900 to $708,000 and representing the neighborhoods of Morningside, Grant Park, East Atlanta, Winnona Park, Gresham Park, Inman Park, Decatur, Historic Roswell, Historic Marietta, East Cobb, John's Creek, and Alpharetta.

10 of the transactions were with repeat clients, and every other client was referred to me by a previous client.  This is a huge WIN for me! I have made it a priority to build my business working by referral and this is the first year that every single one of my clients came via that avenue.  I am so proud of that statistic, as I think it most represents what I am striving for in my business: to do a fantastic job, provide unparalleled service, and create lasting relationships. 

2013 was a great year, and I have high hopes that 2014 will be even better. I truly have the very best clients and I adore helping them realize their real estate dreams!
