Real Estate, My Son, and Thank You Tammy & Doug!

One of the best parts of my job as a Realtor is helping wonderful clients buy their dream home, downsize or relocate to another state. Last Friday, my son, Greg, closed on his first house. I feel that all my clients become a part of my family, but this was my son who I watched grow up, go to college and become a productive member of society. It was very emotional for me.

I want to thank Tammy Skinner at Weissman PC Attorneys at Law and Doug Mooney of Home Services Lending for taking care of all the details and making the closing go smoothly.

Aging Well Workshop for Seniors & Adult Children - May 16th Phoenix at Milton

Lots of us are part of the sandwich generation raising our families and taking care of our parents. If you are feeling overwhelmed worrying about your parents or even planning for yourself, this workshop is for you. 

We'll discuss the documents needed for inevitable financial and health decisions, housing choices available, health and caring services available in the home, insurance needs and savings, and veterans benefits.

  

As we age, good planning will make it easier on us and our children. These tips are especially helpful if you are coordinating the next steps for your parents and your in-laws. It seems as we age our roles with our aging parents are reversed. We become their caretakers or advocates.

Hansel and Gretel Buyers

Gumdrops and candy are a sure way to attract buyers and create curb appeal.   Take a lesson from the Witch in “Hansel and Gretel” :  Sugar plums, gingerbread and frosting are pleasing to the eye and to the taste buds.   Always make sure your home is ready for any potential buyers who may be driving by.  When a house is listed for sale, it should have great curb appeal to entice a buyer inside for a better look.

If you are looking to sell your home, please give me a call 678-656-6627 for a free market analysis.  No matter what your real estate needs are, I can help.  You can also get a Home Market Value or visit me, Pam Santoro at http://www.pamsantoro.com/ .

Mayfield Dairy Tour with Ice Cream Finish

If you love ice cream and are looking for a cool tour to take with your family or friends, I recommend the Mayfield Dairy Tour (1160 Broadway Avenue, Braselton, GA  30517).  For under $5, you get a tour of the dairy plant, learn all about pasteurization and different kinds of milk, practice milking a pretend cow, and eat ice cream in the parlor.   Yum!  

Growing up in the country, I remember the cows being milked, the pasteurization process, and separating the cream.  When I was young, I even rode a cow down the hill and into the barn.    I don’t think I’d be brave enough to do that now.   The tour explained the process of getting the milk from the farm to the dairy plant to you.   It was very educational and entertaining. 

As you can see, we had a great time visiting the Mayfield Dairy.   Thanks Lois for organizing our outing.

The tours run hourly on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9AM to 5PM with the first tour at 10AM and last tour at 4PM.   On Saturday, tours run hourly from 9AM to 2PM with the first tour at 10AM and last tour at 1PM.   For more info, call 1-888-298-0396 or check out their website at http://www.mayfielddairy.com/about-us/take-a-tour#visit-us-in-braselton-ga.

No matter what your real estate needs are, I can help.  Visit me, Pam Santoro at http://www.pamsantoro.com/ or contact me at 678-656-6627.

First Impressions Start at the Street

When a buyer arrives at your house, they should feel welcomed.   First impressions start at the street. 

There are many simple ways to spruce up your yard and the exterior of your house. 

• Put out new mulch or pine straw in your flower beds.
• Add some seasonal flowers to make the front yard more vibrant.
• Power wash the sidewalks and driveway. 
• Clean the light fixtures and windows.
• Paint the front door.
• Trim the shrubs.
• Stage your porches and decks for relaxing or entertaining.
• Put out a new welcome mat.
• Walk around your house to check exterior paint and walkability of the yard.
• Rake the leaves.
• Keep trash cans and hoses out of the front view of the house.
• Remove and store the window screens to give a clean look both inside and out. 

These are just a few ideas to make your house more welcoming.   For more ideas, check out my Pinterest Board Home Staging Like a Pro.  Remember sometimes plain old elbow grease and a small amount of money will increase your curb appeal and bring that buyer home.

No matter what your real estate needs are, I can help.  Visit me, Pam Santoro at http://www.pamsantoro.com/ or contact me at 678-656-6627.

Are you ready to stop renting and buy a home?

                                         

Are you ready to stop renting?  

Are you ready to stop dreaming and purchase a house of your own?  

Do you have enough money saved?

Once you decide that you are in the market for a home, you need to talk to a professional who can help you navigate the process.   Hiring a Realtor like me will help you with searching for a home, negotiating an offer, working through inspections, getting you to the closing and into your dream home. 

The first part of the process is obtaining a pre-approval letter from a lender.  Then you’ll know what you can comfortably afford.   This will not only define what your price range is and explain your loan options, but provide you with one of the documents needed when submitting an offer on your house.   Now the search begins.

Start thinking about features your dream home should have, and make a list:   Are you trying to buy near your office?   Do you want a certain school district?   How many bedrooms and baths?  Do you want a swim and tennis neighborhood?  Do you need a fenced or level yard?  Do you need a terrace level or basement?  What size house are you looking for?  

No matter what your needs are, I can help you with all your real estate needs.
