Meril Missbach and Lane Bailey are this week’s guests on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Meril shares with us some current market trends, while Lane provides a guy's perspective on buying a home. Meril Missbach is the director of sales with Coldwell Banker NRT Development Advisors. Meril has been in the industry for over 40 years, and is very passionate about what she does. Coldwell Banker NRTDA offers buyers and sellers expertise for any type of property they are looking to buy or sell. Currently, one of their hottest properties is 1010 Midtown, which is one of Atlanta's top selling high rise condominium residencies. Meril is also working with several new construction builders to help them finish and sell their distressed assets. Her and her team have been highly successful at repositioning properties for banks and lenders, so that they can go on the market. New home construction foreclosures are a great opportunity for many buyers, but Meril says that these opportunities are going quickly, so interested buyers should act quickly! For more about today's market and current home buying opportunities, listen to the full podcast!

They are currently offering three $100 gift cards in their Facebook Spring into Winnings contest. To win one of the Lowes, Home Depot or Pike Nursery gift cards, register on the GA Home Foreclosures Facebook page by May 31. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Our next guest is Lane Bailey, the car guy and a real estate agent with Century 21 Results Realty. Lane got into the realty business because of his love of cars and garages. When he and his wife were searching for their last home, he realized there were not many real estate agents who catered to car aficionados who want big garages. He decided to seize the opportunity, since he knew he had the knowledge and contacts to be successful. Lane loves working with homes that have massive--4,000 square foot--garages. These garages can house anything from boats and motorcycles to cars and all of the tools and technology to work on them. However,  he says that the "typical" guy wants ten to 12 electrical outlets, insulated walls and room for a few tools as well as their car. For more on all of the latest garage trends and what guys really want in a home, listen to the full podcast. For more information, visit Lane Bailey's website. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Special thanks to this week’s show sponsor HGTV's Property Virgins.

Bob Lanzner and Gina Spearman are this week’s guests on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Bob and Gina both share advice for homebuyers who are trying to navigating the current housing market. Bob Lanzner is an associate broker with Coldwell Banker RMR. Coldwell Banker RMR covers all aspects of real estate: new construction, REOs, resales, short sales, leasing, residential and commercial. Bob mostly works in the residential size and specializes in foreclosures, short sales and resales. One of the best deals for all homebuyers today is the historically low interest rates that buyers are able to get. Whilethese interest rates are low now, they will not last forever, which makes now a good time to buy a home. In addition, low interest rates don't just apply to foreclosure properties, but to all properties. However, the combination of low interest rates and low foreclosure prices is an added bonus to buyers. Some of Coldwell Banker's current foreclosure communities include Addison Glen in Lithonia, which has four and five bedroom homes priced from the low $200,000s. Another one is Ginger Lake Estates in Conyers with four bedroom and two-and-a-half bath from the $160,000s. For more about today's market and great foreclosure opportunities, listen to the full podcast! And to learn more about Coldwell Banker RMR, visit their website. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Today's Deal of the Day is from Jim Chapman Communities. They are offering 50 percent off all upgrades at their design center for buyers at Brookhaven of Lanier Ridge in Cumming and Brookhaven of East Cobb in Kennesaw. Homes in both active adult communities are new construction with great finishes and in unbeatable locations! For more information on how to take advantage of these savings, visit the Jim Chapman Communities website. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Our next guest is Gina Spearman who is a sales manager with Academy Mortgage. Academy Mortgage was recently named the number one independent lender in the country for the second year in a row. They were also named as one of the top three new construction lenders in Atlanta. Academy Mortgage is a great company for homebuyers looking to purchase a home because they are not tied to a bank, and they solely focus on mortgages. Buyers should use mortgage companies such as Academy because they can make sure your home closes on time with no surprises and they provide proactive communication throughout the process. Gina encourages homebuyers of all credit histories and financial standings to at least complete the paperwork to be considered for a loan because even though it is a time consuming process, Academy is willing to work with you to get you in a home For more tips on qualifying for a mortgage, listen to the full podcast. And for even more information, visit Academy Mortgage website. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Special thanks to this week’s show sponsor HGTV's Property Virgins.

Pam Heisler and Jan Hair are this week’s guests on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Pam gives us the scoop on the intown Atlanta market, while Jan offers advice to first time buyers. Pam Heisler is a senior marketing consultant with Harry Norman Realtors. Pam has been with Harry Norman for 12 years, and has earned the senior marketing designation due to her tremendous success with the company. Most of Pam's properties are in northeast Dekalb County and intown Atlanta. She loves working in this area because it’s where she has lived since graduating college, so selling real estate for the area is second nature. Pam is seeing many young professionals and empty nesters flocking towards intown. Intown has become popular with these crowds because it is highly walkable and offers plenty of entertainment options. While tremendous values can still be found in this area, she says that the market is stabilizing and houses in high demand areas are selling within a couple of days. This month the office has seen the highest number of pending sales in its history. For more on current intown Atlanta trends and market conditions, listen to the full podcast! And to learn more about Harry Norman Realtors, visit their website. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Today's Deal of the Day is from The Providence Group. They  are offering a $7,500 incentive on options for pre-sale and new construction properties at Jamestown. Jamestown is a wonderful gated community in Alpharetta with amazing amenities and gorgeous single family homes and townhomes. However, interested buyers need to hurry because this offer is only good on contracts signed by the end of the month. To take advantage of this incentive or for more information, visit The Providence Group website. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Our next guest is Jan Hair who is a real estate consultant with Keller Williams. Jan has been in the business for 16 years and works with the Signature Properties office in West Cobb. Jan is working with an increasing number of first time buyers who are taking advantage of current market conditions, which have created a surplus of short sale and foreclosure properties at low prices. Jan loves working with this type of buyer because they graciously accept any advice she gives them. One of her biggest tips for first time buyers is that they should meet with a lender prior to beginning the house hunt, so that they are aware of what their credit score is and what amount they are actually qualified for. For more tips on the first time buying process, listen to the full podcast. And for even more information, visit Jan Hair's website. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Special thanks to this week’s show sponsor HGTV's Property Virgins.
