6 ways to pay off your mortgage early Brought to you by – Doug HardenAtlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty 1. Refinance your mortgage as interest rates are declining 2. Make extra mortgage payments and remember to make sure to tell your lender to apply these to the principal only 3. Make one extra mortgage payment each year and split it up monthly - this can reduce your 30 year mortgage by reducing it by 7 years.
4. Round up your mortgage payment and this can reduce it significantly and round it up to the next $100. For example if it is $2435 pay $2500. 5. Try a dollar a month plan - Each month increase your payment by $1. 6. Use unexpected income towards your mortgage - holiday bonus, tax returns and credit card awards.

Avoiding DIY catastrophes Brought to you by Remodeling Expo Center DIY shows are among the most popular programs on TV. They are instructional, materials are plentiful at big box home improvement centers, and they always come out just perfect at the conclusion of the ½ hour episode. So how could a DIY project possibly go wrong? The ugly truth about home improvement shows is that the hosts are actors, the work is actually performed by contractors (who are rarely filmed), all the products are provided free of charge in exchange for advertising (so the true project cost is grossly understated). The total time period is rarely mentioned accurately and none of the jobs are ever permitted. So, what we love to watch is a “Hollywood” like creation for the sole purpose of entertainment, not practicality or accuracy, but we knew that already. Didn’t we? “It’s not uncommon for a bathroom or kitchen to be completely demolished when we first arrive to someone’s home and learn it’s been that way for 6 months” says John Hogan, owner of Remodeling Expo Center. “TV shows are actually motivational and serve a great
purpose but occasionally they lead to DIY Bravado. It is the home improvement version of irrational exuberance; when homeowner embark on projects that exceed their skill level. It happens more frequently than I care to talk about” DIY projects are fun and extremely satisfying when they have short time frames, are on the home’s exterior, and/ or do not impede the homes normal operation, painting or landscaping are great examples. DIY catastrophes almost always involve bathroom and kitchens (because of the required careful planning of electric, plumbing, carpentry, tile, appliances, etc.) as well as basements (because of the afore mentioned), plus water intrusion and humidity issues. The lack of planning or poor execution is catastrophic because errors are very costly to fix. “My advice to homeowners is keep it simple, know your capabilities and seek professional assistance, especially in the planning phase”, John Hogan continues. To learn more about making your remodel project fun, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969, via our website, www.RemodelingExpo.com or come into our Design Center at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075.

How the team approach may benefit buyers and sellers Brought to you by Cynthia Lippert, Managing Broker Ansley Real Estate & President, Atlanta Realtors Association Real estate can be a complex business. Although the key objectives LIPPERT are fairly straightforward and centered around client service, top agents are thinking more creatively to deliver the best-in-class service Ansley Real Estate is known for. One of the many ways these superstars are setting themselves apart is by joining forces to serve a variety of clients and scenarios. The team model can offer
certain advantages for some consumers, depending on their specific needs. Layered Support As work-life balance took center stage in 2020, more and more agents, who traditionally work as independent contractors, teamed up to share workloads and focus more on strengths and passion points. Real estate transactions are time sensitive, and fast-moving negotiations and complex timelines seldom wait for regular business hours or personal responsibilities. Teams can help keep deals on track while allowing agents to balance larger client lists and personal time. Diverse Skill Sets The real estate business attracts a
variety of self-motivated entrepreneurial people with diverse backgrounds and skill sets. Some agents get into real estate as a second career, following work as lawyers, teachers, or sales professionals from other industries. The best agents continually build on their experience, and teams can pool together complementary skill sets and backgrounds that ultimately benefit their clients too. That variety is important for creative thinking, a must in challenging real estate markets like the one we’re currently experiencing. Scale Real estate thrives on relationships, and the best agents put a lot of focus on networking to increase their market
knowledge and build mutually beneficial relationships. Agents can multiply their networks by sharing those connections, either within a team or through expert networking, gathering a greater supply of resources for their clients. Real estate agents are known multi-taskers, relationship gurus, and problem solvers, and while some buyers and sellers enjoy the simplicity of a one-to-one agent relationship, others prefer a more systematic and layered approach to their real estate dealings. Either way, the top performing agents at Ansley Real Estate are known for their ability to exceed their clients’ goals continuously, providing the most well-rounded and comprehensive service in the business.

Thinking about selling your home? Brought to you by – Dan Griffin, Compass Realty Compass provides a unique benefit for you. The Concierge Program provides a hassle-free service to fund improvements, staging or repairs to bring the best price for you as the homeowner. There are no costs or fees; in fact, Compass “fronts” the cost of a vendor’s work until your home closes. GRIFFIN It’s still a beauty contest. Homes that show their very best bring the highest prices in the fewest days on the market. If your home needs painting, flooring or kitchen improvements, this can be funded by an advance though the Compass Concierge Program. Even in today’s hot seller market, the homes getting the best prices have been updated and are ready to move in. Many buyers are not interested in doing major or even minor improvements. When your home is “move-in ready”, buyers can justify financing or paying cash for what the previous owner has done. Return on investment. We work with our clients to determine the best improvements to make with the highest return. Then we provide trusted vendors, or you can select the vendor of your choice. The vendor is paid when the work is completed by the Concierge Program. This amount is then deducted at closing when your house sells. There are
no fees related to this program. If you would like to learn more about this program,
please call Dan Griffin at 770.843.2175 or email me at dan.griffin@compass.com.

Why you should sell in the fall Brought to you by – Allison Kloster, Associate Broker, Home Real Estate If you are considering entering the housing market in the fall, don’t worry about it being too late to make a sale. In fact, here are four reasons why listing in autumn might turn out to be a savvy selling strategy. A different buyer pool There are three types of buyers who
tend to prefer less saturated markets: millennials, empty nesters and employers who need to relocate new hires. These buyers typically swoop in late to avoid high season real estate rates — you might even get a quick sale from employers needing to settle their hires fast. Buyers are more serious Spring buyers can afford to be picky because of the sheer number of houses
for sale. It might be months before they decide to make an offer. But by the time September rolls around, you’re left with only serious buyers who know they don’t have much time before winter hits. There’s less competition Selling in the fall means competing in a much smaller market. Combined with the impending arrival of harsh weather and the holiday season, this is a strong bargaining chip that can help you close
quickly. It’s easier to make improvements Selling in the fall means you can take advantage of the warm wea- ther preceding the season to make improvements. When you’re rea- dy to sell, your house will be too. Though conventional wisdom recommends selling in the spring or summer, selling in the fall has a number of advantages and may prove to be the more lucrative time to list your home.

Selling a home in 2021 Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS, Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty The COVID pandemic has had a significant influence on various areas of the economy, and the real estate industry is no exception. If you’re selling your home right now, you should know that today’s RAWLINGS housing market is unlike anything we have seen. In the past, sellers might have waited months to get an offer that might not be as high as they hoped. Today, homes are getting snatched up fast, sometimes within days of going on the market. Bidding wars may force buyers to pay over the asking price, sometimes in cash, and waiving inspections to sweeten their offer. That’s why it is more important than ever to understand the market. 1. Home Inventory is Low More people want to purchase properties than there are homes on the market. Today, if you’re looking for a home, you’re likely to see only about half as many homes for sale as were available last year. This is creating a highly competitive market for buyers. These low-inventory conditions may improve over the next year, but the market is so out of balance, the number of homes for sale will remain low.
2. Home Prices are High With fewer homes and high demand for them, many sellers are seeing multiple offers driving up prices. The increase in housing prices makes it a great time for sellers to cash out on their homes. And with fewer homes available for sale, buyers are pulling out all the stops. However, this comes with a big problem if selling means buying a new home for yourself. Sellers searching for their next home will face the same fierce competition. 3. Interest Rates are at Record Lows Even though home prices are high, mortgage interest rates have hit record lows. And since even a 1% lower interest rate could lower monthly mortgage payments by up to 20%, it makes homes more affordable for buyers, driving them into this competitive market. Why are they so low? The Federal Reserve lowers interest rates to stimulate growth during a period of economic decline and uncertainty. Interest rates are likely to stay low as the economy fights its way back from the pandemic. 4. It’s a Seller’s Market Limited housing inventory and record-low rates have created a booming housing market. It is referred to as a seller’s market. Merriam-Webster defines that as a market in which goods are scarce, buyers have a limited range of choice and prices are high. If you are looking for a new home, make sure it’s the right time, and not because of market conditions. While home sellers
have the upper hand, you’ll still need to consider how the market will affect you if you’re buying a replacement home. Understanding the market and playing your cards carefully will help you get the best offer for when you decide to sell. If you need assistance selling your home or have any other real estate needs, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300. We would be happy to assist you!
