Our next guest is Alicia MacPhee, a broker with Alicia MacPhee realty group. Alicia has been in the real estate industry for 26 years, and she has served the Atlanta market for over 20 years. Alicia has had plenty of experience selling foreclosure homes, so she shares her advice on buying one of these types of properties.
Her first piece of advice when dealing with a foreclosure is to make sure you are buying the right house for you in the right location and for the right price. She says that all potential homebuyers should use a realtor when dealing with this kind of property especially since Georgia is a “buyer beware” state. She also says that currently the most competitive prices are tending to be on these foreclosure type properties.
