What's there to do in Atlanta this weekend? Check it out!

Here are our picks for things to do this weekend (Feb. 21, 22 and 23) in Atlanta.

In Atlanta, price growth is stronger and homes are selling faster than they are in the U.S. overall, trends explained in part by the surge in people looking to move inland.

The term “iBuyer” (short for instant buyer) is used to describe real estate companies that use technology and AI to make instant offers to home sellers and then purchase homes in quick, cash transactions.

While iBuying represents a sliver of overall U.S. real estate activity, it is growing quickly in many metro areas. Raleigh had the highest iBuyer market share in 2019, and iBuyers purchased 7.3% of the homes that sold there in 2019, up from 3.9% in 2018. Phoenix had the second highest iBuyer share at 5.9%, followed by Charlotte and Atlanta (both 5.2%).

Real estate companies purchasing, renovating, and reselling homes continue to earn market share and increase sales, especially in the south.

How many of these signs can you claim?

We asked Redfin real estate agents in Atlanta to tell us what it's like to live in the ATL, and we don't mean the airport. Here are 30 signs you live in the land of the Peachtree and home of the Braves.

And the last tip, take a close look at the roots. Is it leaning, or does it rock slightly back and forth? If so, you may need to reinforce the soil around the tree to provide support. Talk with your local nursery or landscaper for expert advice.

According to Georgia law, urban homeowners are required to visibly inspect their trees for obvious signs of disease or damage and if problems are spotted, you’re required to take steps to remove the tree to prevent harm to others.

After all, if you were aware of a dead or diseased tree on your property and it falls on your neighbor’s property, it most likely will be your responsibility to remove it and pay for any related damages.

02/20/2020

Look for tree joints (where branches extend from the trunk, that is) that contain more than one branch. If a tree joint has more than one branch, this weakens the tree structure because each branch is unable to securely attach itself to the trunk.

And examine the tops of trees, especially damaged trees, for broken limbs. Removing these limbs and properly pruning the tree canopy allows wind to move through the branches rather than hitting against them.

02/19/2020

Among other things you should check in your trees is to look for cracks that reach deep into the trunk and soft wood or holes. This could indicate that decay is within the tree and could compromise the tree's structure and could lead to a fallen tree.

02/18/2020

With the recent wet weather in Atlanta and strong winds, it doesn't take much to bring down trees. And in the city of trees, it's best to be prepared.

This week, we'll be talking about warning signs of tree damage that could save you thousands of dollars and prevent fallen trees that would cause major damage.

The first warning sign: check for dead wood. This can be in the form of leafless branches or an abundance of old bark on the ground leaving behind smooth, bark-free wood on the tree.

02/14/2020

Look for a local lender with a track record for success. Loans officers are members of the community they serve - they shop at the same grocery stores as their customers, get their gas at the same gas stations, live their lives in a similar style. They have vested interest in having each and every loan close as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

So if you're in the Atlanta area and looking to purchase, refi, or build, let's get in touch! I know the area and can help you close on time!
