Why is West Cobb County becoming the most desireable and affordable place to live in Metro Atlanta?

Asked Sun Oct 7 2007, 20:05 by Carol Walker - Acworth - Home Buying - 5 answers

Lorrie Thomas answered:

I will have to agree with Joshua, James, and Paul. But I'd also like to add there are some great homes being built in West Cobb, for example the new exclusive enclave of only 15 homes in Shearer's Farm, just off Casteel Rd. and within minutes to "The Avenue" for shopping and restaurants. These homes are the Smart Homes of The Future and are all prewired for smart home technology. Learn more about these awesome homes at http://www.HiTechLuxuryHomes.com - Thu May 1 2008, 20:38

What is the success percentage of short sales?

Asked Fri Apr 4 2008, 09:01 by Joy Arnold - All locations - Home Buying - 1 answer

Lorrie Thomas answered:

WOW! That's a great question. I guess it would depend on the individual. I don't know if there have been any recent studies done to find out the success percentage of short sales. I would love to see what answers are provided from other Realtors as to their success rate with short sales. Personally my success rate is about 50%. There are so many factors that can factor into whether it becomes a successful short sale or not. The bank has to be willing to work with you, willing to be negotiable and realistic about the value of the home. Also, the Realtor has to be very prepared to present their case to the bank with all the nessecary documents that they will need to prove their point to the bank that the owner cannot afford to keep the home and also prove that the home is not worth the average market value but is usually in great need of repair, or just worth less due to the surrounding market. This can be done with photos, and descriptions of the repairs needed and a market analysis of the home. The homeowner will also need to provide a Hardship Letter describing their situation(Handwritten is best) and will usually need to provide their financial statements such as income, bills, medical bills, and bank statements. The fax that the Realtor sends to the bank is usually quite large after gathering all the information that is needed. And if this is not done correctly, than the chances of the short sale being successful is decreased greatly. So, I guess it varies depending on the individual and also depending on the bank they are dealing with. I know that wasn't a straight answer, but it does depend on a number of factors. Including the homeowner's willingness to participate in providing the information needed to the bank. I hope that helped. - Sat Apr 5 2008, 12:16

What does it mean when a home is sold as is? Can a buyer still get a home inspection, termite inspection etc?

Asked Thu Apr 3 2008, 19:30 by Tao - Kennesaw - Home Buying - 7 answers

Lorrie Thomas answered:

You should always get your inspections done. "As is" just means that the owner will not make any repairs. Even when buying a home "as-is" it is recommended to present an offer with a Due Diligence period. During the Due Diligence period you should get all of your inspections done. If there is anything found that you determine is too major you can then decide if you still want to proceed with the purchase of the property. - Thu Apr 3 2008, 19:52

Who has heard about a web site called Housepad.com? Listings are in FMLS

Asked Fri Feb 29 2008, 17:00 by J - Atlanta - Agent2Agent - 18 answers

Lorrie Thomas answered:

I am a Realtor and I think Housepad.com is great! Why? Because in this market you need more to sell a home than just listing it in the local mls. So, when the owner gets serious about getting their home sold they will seek the services of a full service Realtor and appreciate them for what they do. So, I think they are great competition (if all my competition was like that it would be wonderful). It is definitely NOT the end of the listing agent as we know it.

I have picked up a new listing before that had previously been listed on Housepad.com and the owners contacted me and were ready to seriously market their home and sell it.

There are a few others out there similar to Housepad.com, one of the others is Iggyshouse.com Have you heard of that one? - Tue Apr 1 2008, 18:13
