SPRINGDALE, AR., - Like all of the many firsts in life - the purchase of a new home is among the most vivid memories and experiences for most. Springdale Realtor Kristi Martin will never forget hers. The Executive Broker who is now with Crye-Leike Realtors believes that experience is part of the inspiration that pushed her to become a licensed Realtor.
"I can't tell you how many times the memories of my first home purchase and the experience leading up to closing day runs through my mind," said Kristi. "It was actually a pretty bad experience and it really did prompt me to become a Realtor."
With the experience as fresh in her mind today as it was when she was living through her own personal home buying nightmare - Kristi makes it her goal today to never let that happen to anyone else.
"I'm not going to go into detail about what happened to us? let's just say it was one of life's big lessons," said...
SMYRNA, TN., - Even though the housing tax credits that stimulated the market for months are gone, a buyer's market still exists. With interest rates still at a historical low and with a good selection of homes on the market to choose from, Crye-Leike Smyrna Realtor Heather Karl is working hard to show buyers why now is still a great time to purchase a home.
Last year Karl hosted an educational workshop helping many homebuyers understand everything that's involved in the home buying process - and this year she is still dedicated to educating buyers.
"It's important for the community to be knowledgeable about what's involved in the home buying process," said Karl. "I encourage people to come to the workshop and discover their best options for buying in this market. This is a wonderful time to stop throwing money away on rent and start investing in your future."
The workshop will educate buyers on seve...
CHEROKEE, GA., - As he goes about his daily routine of meeting with new clients and checking in with business colleagues, Associate Broker Ron Cochran is always mindful of the opportunities that lay ahead. Over the past four decades the real estate sales professional has dedicated his livelihood to building better communities one house and one neighborhood at a time.
"As one of the original members of the Kennesaw Business Association (KBA) formed back in 1975 I've watched the phenomenal -yet controlled growth of the region," said Cochran. "For many years I helped developers obtain the land for new neighborhoods and businesses? assisting them with zoning matters? and it's been very rewarding."
It's not really surprising to Cochran what attracts business people and families alike to the region. As he sees it? the great schools, civic groups and ?small town feel' has all been carefully planned with controlled development. And Coch...
WOODSTOCK, GA., - As more and more homeowners fall into foreclosure? communities throughout Cobb County and Metro Atlanta continue to feel the effects in lower home values and few home sales. Realtors like Crye-Leike Agent Paul Raiti are saying enough is enough.
"Times are challenging to say the least," said Raiti. "During the good times a lot of good people ended up getting into trouble - and have not realized it until recently."
Raiti says many struggling homeowners who have lost a job or can no longer afford to keep up with their mortgage are either walking away or just giving up. He insists there's a better way by considering a short sale instead of assuming a foreclosure is the only way out.
"I recently received additional schooling - earning my Real Estate Owned (REO) Specialist Designation in short sales and foreclosure procedures to assist the good people that feel there is no way out," said...
