Well, I believe that spring is finally here! The trees are in bloom and the flowers are poking up from the ground and we are seeing a jump in the housing market. Ask any REALTOR® how they are doing and you will hear “ BUSY WORKING”. This is a great sign that our housing market is improving. When I thought about what I wanted to share with you this month, I realized that no matter how difficult the last few years have been, and no matter how much battering the housing market takes, it is not only the American dream, but the dream in everyone’s heart to own a home. It is this dream that has inspired REALTORS® to consistently advocate for a financial and tax system that encourages and enables everyone to be able to realize that dream, not to mention protecting the private property rights of those who already own a home. And it is because of REALTORS® working together, not only for the good of our customers, but for our industry, our model of advocacy work with the Government, our practice of transparency in our businesses, and our professional and ethical practices developed over the past 100 years, that makes buying a home from a REALTOR® so important. The technology that REALTORS® use helps us to better serve our customers and make us global. When you choose who you will work with to find your American Dream, ask them if they are a REALTOR® and a member of the National Association of REALTORS®. Happy House Hunting!!! Best Regards, Carol Hayes - 2012 President

The REALTOR® Difference More than just a Licensee!
Why am I a REALTOR®? Because, I choose to differentiate myself, set higher expectations and provide my clientele with the best experience possible in a real estate transaction. I pursue professionalism in being an industry leader and strive to continually outperform others with better tools, professional designations, a broader knowledge base and deeper pool of experiences to draw upon. The annual cost of professionalism, of being a REALTOR®, is minimal when compared to its impact on my business and my industry. As a REALTOR®, I: • am a voice in Washington, D.C. on behalf of all home owners; • use Association approved, Georgia specific legal contracts that let you rest easy at night, knowing your transaction is in complete compliance; • have access to market specific forums and a national resource center to draw upon in the sale or search of your home; and, • have access to advanced education on current tools, industry certifications and the latest trends. If a licensed agent can’t or won’t invest in themselves each year, what makes you believe they would invest the resources necessary to properly market your home? With less than 50% of the active real estate licensees in Georgia electing to become REALTORS®, homebuyers and sellers need to interview prospective agents and ask the question, “Are you a REALTOR®?”
Are you represented by a REALTOR®?
REALTORS® have: Higher Production • Strongest Voice in Washington • Access to the Best Data and Tools • Access to Professional Designations • Support for Local Communities •

THE REAL DEAL ON REAL ESTATE I have been an active real estate broker for over 16 years in the tri-state area and have never seen a better time to buy. Our area is very unique and has become one of the “best little secrets” for retirees from all over the country. They’re thrilled to step back in time, relocating to a slower-paced mountain town. I have always told my clients this is “Small Town USA at its Best!” At different times during my real estate career, the “right home” has not always been easy to find. One year everyone wants chalets, the next year it’s larger land, and so forth. Our current market, however, is definitely a BUYER’S MARKET, with something for everyone. There’s a wonderful supply of great homes and land at great prices. This enables your REALTOR® to find the exact fit for your desires &
budget without having to settle for less than 100% satisfaction. With interest rates still extremely low and supply available, there’s never been a better time to buy! This is great news for sellers, too. If property is presentable, available to show, and properly priced, it will greatly enhance the chances of a quick sale. One of my mentors once told me “If you get a seller who really wants to sell and a buyer who really wants to buy, you should always be able to make a deal!” Our market has state-of-the-art MLS systems available, outstanding networking, motivated REALTORS® and eager sellers, making it a very healthy market for YOU! So, if you are thinking about buying, either as a first time home buyer, investor, or just ready to trade up... it is time to “Seize the day!” Joy Stein is Broker/Owner of Vista Realty
