2018 Design trends Brought to you by: BILL RAWLINGS Vice President/Managing Broker, North Atlanta Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty With the new year comes new design trends and styles as well as new finishes and materials. Here are a few highlighted trends for the upcoming year that will upgrade and improve the ambiance rawlings and overall feel of your home. NATURAL ELEMENTS In 2018 one of the largest growing trends is natural and fresh elements. This creates an overall organic ambiance in your home. This growing trend can be accomplished with fresh flowers, shades of natural hues such as stone, copper, granite and shades of green. This is great to incorporate through accent pieces and accessories throughout your home. VELVET FURNISHINGS This newly revived trend of velvet is

not only back in fashion but in home decor as well. This is the most desirable trend of 2018 and is making a comeback with many designers and furniture companies. Velvet is great to bring bright colors into a room and can be used for statement pieces. Such as a royal blue velvet sofa or bright colored ottomans can completely transform a room. MILLENNIAL PINK This trend was a hit in 2017 and with so much popularity we plan to see this for years to come. This shade of pink has become a new classic. This is a fun way to brighten a room, whether you are brave enough to paint a wall this bright pink or start with throws and pillow it is guaranteed to be on trend. GEOMETRIC PATTERNS If you are looking for an instant way to brighten and refresh a kitchen or bathroom, geometric tile is the trend of the year. This is a unique way to change a space and make a room very visually appealing. Other ways than tile that this trend can be accomplished is through wallpaper, wall art, fabric and accessories.

Spring listing checklist By: Kelly Rosen, Solid Source Realty It’s no secret that spring is the most active time to attract buyers for your home. Even though there will be a large influx of buyers during this time, your home needs to look its best and be move in ready. Declutter Now: Since the holidays are over, now is a great time to start decluttering your home. Remove all personal photos, remove items from your built in shelves and remove items from your kids rooms that they don’t use daily. The idea is to allow buyers to see their own furnishings in your home and not get distracted with your personal belongings. Less Is Best! Kitchen & Bath Conditions: Your kitchen and master bath are selling features of your home. Take a look around and make sure the cabinets are in good shape. If you have stained cabinets that are in rough shape, try using Old English Scratch Cover to cover the knicks and scratches. This product can transform your solid wood cabinets and it only costs a few bucks. For painted cabinets, find the old paint and touch

up the dings and chipped paint. Replacing brass fixtures is a great way to update your bathrooms Interior Paint Colors: Browns and yellows are out! Take a look around your foyer and main living areas. Do you have bold colors, browns, yellows, wallpaper, or a lot of faux painting? Unfortunately, these are no longer popular with today’s buyers and it is best to repaint the main living areas prior to listing your home. Check Your Hardwoods: Take an honest look at your hardwood floors. Are they in good condition or could they use refinishing? I have a flooring contact that refinishes hardwoods without breaking the bank. Please reach out to my cell, (770) 568-9241, if you would like his contact information. The Magic Formula! In Milton, there is heavy competition for homes and quite a bit of inventory in certain price ranges. There is a magic formula for getting your house to sell for top dollar in the shortest amount of time. The formula is (drumroll please!)Condition, Presentation & Price. When there is a good amount of competition among homes, the way you get your home to

stand out above the rest is to make it look spectacular. There are ways to accomplish this without spending a fortune. Contact me (770) 568-9241 for an appointment. It is my pleasure to help you accomplish this with simple

updates, modifications and staging. Kelly Rosen is a REALTOR® with Solid Source Realty who specializes in helping sellers maximize their home’s potential in the competitive Milton market.

The right time to make a move By: Jane O’Connor Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Our lovely snow has melted and I see peeps of green emerging as the daffodils reaffirm not all is dormant in my garden. It seems too soon, but within a few weeks my perennials will be back in bloom, as will the Oconnor Atlanta home market! As is typical, our area regains momentum following the holiday slow down earlier than other parts of the country, meaning February is not too soon to list your home for sale or start a home buying search. Here’s why for sellers: • Many corporations tap personnel for relocation early in the year, with those families traveling to the metro area during spring break weeks on a home finding mission. Typically buyers come to the area starting in late February with most home purchases finalized by the end of June in order to move before the school year starts. You won’t want to miss out on this group of buyers who are well qualified and ready to make a decision in the first half of the year. • Continued low inventory in our area equates to strong buyer demand— but even in a hot seller’s market, it’s important to prepare your home to show well, price it correctly, have professional photos and engage a REALTOR® with expansive online reach and presence. Sellers will see quicker

results, higher sale price to list price ratios and possibly multiple offers along with fewer contingencies or additional stipulations added to the offer. Here’s why for buyers: • It may take you longer than you think to successfully obtain your new home! Although the number of homes on the market increases starting in the spring, buyer competition for those homes also increases. In some price points it’s possible that a buyer will lose out on one or more offers before success, particularly if the buyer requiring a loan is up against a cash purchaser. Sellers want to see tightly written offers with few contingencies or added stipulations, particularly if the property is newly listed and in excellent condition. Understanding the purchasing process, getting pre-approved with a lender and using an experienced buyer’s agent for guidance and contract management are key elements to success in a home purchase. • Mortgage interest rates remain low, although on the rise. Conventional and FHA loans are hovering around 4%, but industry experts suggest there will be additional hikes in the interest rate by the end of the year. Realtor. com data indicates home sale prices will also rise as we move through 2018, with an estimated year over year price gain of 3.2% nationally. Making a move—an exciting decision that can be challenging but also presents the opportunity to begin anew. Just like spring.

Rid out to move on and move up By: Kimberly Wright Counter Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty The words “rid out” may not mean anything to some of you. In fact, the first time I heard those words from my grandmother, I had no idea what she was talking about. I soon learned, however, that they perfectly describe what most everyone else calls “cleaning out.” To my grandmother, cleaning a house started with getting rid of the clutter, or in her words, you first need to “rid out.” In my career as a REALTOR®, I have learned to appreciate exactly what my grandmother’s words meant. Every day, I have the pleasure of viewing homes for sale in all price ranges throughout the northern Metro Atlanta area in my quest to find the perfect home for my clients. Homes that have been “ridded out” always make the best impression. Getting rid of the clutter in your home before putting it on the market makes selling it so much easier. However, to get rid of the clutter, you must first understand exactly what clutter means to a potential buyer. In a home for sale, clutter is anything that distracts a buyer’s attention from the details of a home. To fall in love with a home a buyer needs to truly see the home. After viewing a home, a buyer’s comments should not be about the homeowners wedding photo, the sports memorabilia on display or the soccer trophies in your child’s bedroom. If so, then I know immediately, that the buyer did not see the home, they just noticed all of those personal treasures. The buyer focused on the clutter. Ideally, a seller wants a buyer to concentrate on the home’s features, like the architectural details, the neutral color pallet, the size of the kitchen or the beautiful wood floors. Personal items on display can be hazardous to an easy sale. Be a smart seller; box it all up and put it away. Additionally, clutter can make a home feel tight, instead of spacious. Open spaces appear to be larger spaces. Detouring around an overstuffed ottoman in the great room to enter the kitchen makes the entire space appear smaller. When they enter a kitchen, buyers should see the lovely cabinets and granite countertops, not the cookbooks. Also, don’t forget the closets. Buyers love, love, love spacious closets. With good plan-

ning, even the smallest closets can look spacious. Help your home sell faster by storing all excess furniture and cleaning out the closets. Store the off-season clothing, and organize your shoes, purses and other items. Every buyer should leave your home knowing that your closets are big enough for all of their clothes. Neatly, store excess items in your garage, basement, or attic, rent a storage space for a short time, or ask a friend to help store things temporarily. Perhaps it is time to make a Goodwill donation, always a great option for items that you really don’t need. Get rid of the distractions and create that extra space in your home, and you will add dollars to your sale by selling faster at a better price. “Ridding out” will definitely help you move on and move up. This is the second is my series of articles about preparing your home for sale. If you missed the first one, please contact me, and I will be a happy to send you a copy of my article, “Updated vs. Outdated.” Staying competitive is the key to home sellers reaping the rewards of a quick sale at the best price. If you are thinking of selling your home, I would love to help you accomplish that goal. Contact me at 678.938.5885, or kimberlycounter@atlantafinehomes. com and let me help you move on and move up!

Why use a buyer’s agent for new construction? By: Eve Jones, Harry Norman Realtors There’s a frenzy of new construction going on in our North Fulton area and buyers are on the hunt for the best new home for their lifestyle. A question that is often posed to me is: Do I need a buyer’s agent? Being a veteran Realtor, of course my answer is, yes and here’s why: 1. Choosing the right builder: Builders are not all the same. A seasoned agent is likely to have years of experience with a variety of builders and she/he can assist you in identifying the best builder to use (and the least desirable builders). Your agent will impart her years of wisdom at no expense to you. 2. Expertise on communities, location and lot: Again, here’s where experience counts. Location is always primary for real estate value. Your agent can counsel you on issues such as proximity to retention/ detention ponds, amenities, roads, topography, commercial developments, etc. 3. Help in choosing the best upgrades/plan modifications: Your experienced agent has viewed thousands of homes, knows what buyers prefer and can advise on what is best for future resale. This advice alone could save you thousands down the road. 4. Contractual Review: The builders’ contracts can be full of deadlines and confusing terms that an agent can help you navigate. And, if a dispute arises concerning contractual issues, he/she can run interference for you.

5. Negotiations with your best interest in mind: The onsite agents, as nice and friendly as they can be, are representing only the builder’s best interests. When you use a buyer’s agent, you have someone who is solely focused on your best interest and has years of experience negotiating home purchases. 6. An invaluable resource: Buyer’s agents have an arsenal of qualified inspectors, contractors, movers, storage, temporary housing options and attorneys,

if needed. Your construction could take up to 5-6 months and your agent will be consulting with you every step of the way. And, if you are selling too, they can reduce your stress level by seamlessly coordinate the two transactions. Bottom-line, a buyer’s agent is an invaluable resource that costs you nothing, so why wouldn’t you want to have one represent you? – Eve Jones, 770365-1406

Thinking of selling your home? By: Shanaz Kanga, Harry Norman Realtors I remember how nervous I was I sold my first house. My husband and I didn’t know where to start - which Real Estate agent to use and what the process was. Once we had this figured out, we were a lot more kanga comfortable with the transaction. The first thing to do when you decide to sell your house, is emotionally detach yourself from it and get it ready - repair things that need attention, clear out the clutter, add a coat of fresh paint if possible and focus your energy on making the property as marketable as possible. Hire a good Real Estate agent that you are comfortable working with, can help you stage your home to show it well and give you the best return on investment. Once your house is ready for sale you can determine the price at which you want to sell it. The goal is to sell for top dollar in the shortest possible time.

Many factors that are taken into careful consideration when pricing a house such as a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that your Real Estate agent can provide, to show what similar homes around you are selling for. Factors that may affect the home price are location, schools, condition of the house, number of bedrooms, desirability of the neighborhood and in Alpharetta, even the "walk score" or how close you are located to shopping and restaurants. Work with your agent to market the desirability of your home since you have lived in it for several years and there was something that drew you towards that house to make it your home. Make sure you get beautiful professional photographs to put the information out on Multiple Listing Service websites, social media and other marketing sites across the country and even globally. When the house is listed on the market, expect some inconveniences of having to leave the house in a good condition when there are showings and Open houses. Once you receive the offers from potential buyers, you can work with your agent to determine the

conditions under which they are made and decide to accept the best one from a well-qualified buyer. Aside from home repair expenses, there are other expenses to plan for during closing such as Transfer tax, Capital Gains tax and moving expenses. Your agent can work with you to prepare an estimated net cost to help

you determine how much money you should plan to set aside for the entire process from start to finish. If you have any questions about the details of the home selling process, you can contact me at shanaz.kanga@harrynorman.com or call me at 770-7076218 for a complimentary consultation and market analysis of your home.

Why some h sell in a sell Homeowners ask us about the recovery of remodeling dollars just about every day, comments John Hogan, President of Remodeling Expo Center in Roswell, and we explain the percentages to them. We basically, reiterate the numbers behind the popular clichés “Kitchens and Bathrooms sell houses”. But what these numbers don’t reveal is the alternative to remodeling; doing nothing. Failing to remodel will cause your home to sell at a discount. For example, according to the Remodeling 2015 Cost vs. Value Report, remodeling your kitchen for $30k will allow you to recover about $20k when you sell your home. However, if you don’t remodel, your home will likely sell for $35k less. So a quick analysis might result in a $30k - $20k = $10k cost, when the true reality is a $35k cost in the long run. We’re in one of the strongest real estate markets in decades and I hear all too often from homeowners “the house down the block sold for $500k in 24 hours and I haven’t gotten a single offer in 4 months”, says Remodeling Expo’s Peter Schnieper. When I hear this, I’m usually standing on linoleum floors in a dark kitchen with olive appliances, formica counters and knotted pine cabinets with mis-aligned doors. I hate this situation because the homeowner needs to remodel in order to sell and they won’t get to enjoy it at all. A sellers market can act as a magnifying glass; making remodeled homes sell faster for more money and making non-remodeled homes sell slower, if at all. This is why despite very favorable market conditions, some homes just won’t sell at all. A home needs to be refreshed about every 5-7 years with painting or flooring, and updated every 10 to 15 years with a major remodel, such as a kitchen, bathroom or basement. North Atlanta was built

homes don’t ler’s market in the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s, and almost every home owner is suffering from the “builder grade blues” That’s the term all of the designers at Remodeling Expo Center use to describe the situation of north Atlanta homeowners. Their homes were built when North Atlanta homes were “affordable” so builders outfitted their homes with inexpensive kitchens and bathrooms. Now North Atlanta home values have tripled but unfortunately, while home values automatically change, kitchens and bathrooms don’t. Many Alpharetta and Johns Creek homeowners wake up each day to “affordable” builder grade kitchens and bathrooms. This is what we call the “builder grade blues.” We relocated Remodeling Expo Center to Roswell because its central to most of North Atlanta. Although we use the term “builder grade blues” in jest, our business anything but that. We’ve built a sophisticated operation to systematically update and improve the north Atlanta housing stock. Remodeling has traditionally been a mom and pop business but our operation is changing all of that. Homeowners walk into our Expo Center and can see technology at work… 3D modeling, precision job scheduling and computer aided configuration. Homes don’t sell in a “sellers market” because homeowners haven’t adequately maintained their most important investment, their homes. Remodeling every 10 to 15 years is like tuning up your car; you’ve got to do it With the Expo Center we make remodeling fun and easy. We have everything needed in one place… design, ordering, installation and project management.

First-time homebuyer seminar By: Sara Ead, Harry Norman Realtors Spring season is almost upon us, and you may be one of the first-time homebuyers expected to hit the market this year… Where do you begin? First time buyers have a lot to consider when making this large initial investment. You are establishing your financial base with this move, and ideally it will be a solid one as it sets the course for future financial stability. While the home search and purchase are a relatively short journey; the implications are long-lasting. Your search should begin with knowing your numbers. Speaking with a reputable lender will help you understand what a comfortable monthly payment is for you. No matter how nice the home; a stressful payment will take away from the beauty faster than you think. Next, you should work with an experienced Realtor who knows the area you are searching, and can help you navigate the current competitive climate. Make sure your agent is responsive, patient, and thorough. Make sure they express positive and negative features of homes, and how these factors may impact your re-sale.

To learn more about the purchase process; how to protect yourself during due diligence, and how to gain a competitive edge in a hot market… Please join me at my first-time buyer seminar on Saturday February 10th from 1-3pm at Harry Norman Realtors: 7855 North Point pkwy, Suite 100 Alpharetta.

Homebuying now may save a lot (BPT) - It is a common misconception that a 20 percent down payment is required to buy a home. Advice to wait and save a large down payment is often based on the theory that the cost of mortgage insurance (MI), which is required when you buy with a smaller down payment, should be avoided. This may not be the best advice and is, in fact, not in line with market trends, considering 60 percent of homebuyers buy with a down payment of 6 percent or less, according to the National Association of Realtors. Yes, you can qualify for a conventional mortgage with a down payment as small as 3 percent of the purchase price. It is also true that you can reduce your monthly mortgage payment by paying for discount points at closing, but that can be 5 or 10 percent of the purchase price - not 20. And because every buyer’s situation is unique, it’s important to do the math. In today’s market, it could take a family earning the national median income up to 20 years to save 20 percent, according to calculations by U.S. Mortgage Insurers using a methodology developed by the Center for Responsible Lending; a lot can change during that time, in the family’s personal finances and in overall mortgage market trends. How can buying now save you money later? Consider you want to purchase a $235,000 home. A 5 percent down payment is $11,750 versus $47,000 in cash for 20 percent down. With a 740 credit score at today’s MI rates, your monthly MI payment would be about $110, which is added to your monthly mortgage payment until MI cancels. MI typically cancels after five years; therefore, you will only have this added cost

for a short period of time versus waiting an average of 20 years to save for 20 percent. With home price appreciation, today’s $235,000 home will likely cost more in the years ahead and this will also have an impact on the necessary down payment and length of time required to save for it. There are other variables in the equation too, such as interest rates. As federal rates rise, so too can the costs associated with financing a mortgage. The savings a borrower might calculate today could be altogether negated by waiting even a few more years. Another factor is that rents are on the rise across the nation, leading to a reduced capacity for many would-be homebuyers to save for larger down payments. If you decide to buy today with a low down payment mortgage option, it is true that MI is an added cost on top of mortgage principal and interest, but keep in mind that it is temporary and goes away. Again, it typically lasts about five years. Private MI can be cancelled once a homeowner builds approximately 20 percent equity in the home through payments or appreciation and automatically terminates for most borrowers once he or she reaches 22 percent equity. And when MI is cancelled, the monthly bill goes down. Importantly, the insurance premiums on an FHA mortgage - the 100 percent taxpayer-backed government version of mortgage insurance - cannot be cancelled for the vast majority of borrowers with FHA mortgages. So, do the math and let the numbers guide you. There are many online mortgage calculators that can help. Check out lowdownpaymentfacts.org to learn more.

Easy curb appeal One of the easiest but often overlooked enhancement to a house to improve the curb appeal is to add or update your exterior shutters. Historically exterior shutters served a purpose by offering light control, ventilation and protection from the elements. Today exterior shutters are mostly decorative. “Exterior shutters add the finishing touch to a house”, says Hennie DuPreez, CEO of Dupbel Millworks Inc. “But it is important that they are appropriately sized and look like they are supposed to be there.” Whether you’re adding or replacing shutters to add curb appeal or as part of a remodel, consider these tips from Dupbel Millworks Inc., one of the leading shutter manufacturers in North Georgia. Style: Make sure the style adds visual interest to the house, whether you choose traditional Raised panels, a Board and Batten style, Louvers or one of the more modern styles. Depending on the style you can make your house look more traditional, contemporary or modern. A reputable shutter provider will be able to help you choose the look you are trying to achieve. Size: One of the biggest mistakes people make with shutters is the size. It is important that the shutters are sized correctly for your windows, while taking into account the features of the house, obstacles that could be present, and the look you are trying to achieve. Your shutters are going to be mostly decorative, but make sure they are sized as if they would be functional and as if they belong there. Hardware: Traditionally shutters were attached to the window frames with hinges. Today hardware plays an important role in the appearance of your shutters. Various options are available depending on the style of the shutters and the type of windows. Adding hardware adds to the curb appeal and the authentic look. It also put the shutter at a slight angle, adding visual interest and creating better shadow lines that brings out the design features of the shutter style. Material: Exterior shutters are available in various material and you
