It’s officially fall in Metro Atlanta! Temperatures are still warm enough for us to think of summer vacation, but the shelves are stocked with everything pumpkin spice. Take advantage of our extended summer and clean up your curb appeal for a timely fall listing. Fall is a great time to sell, since there are less homes on the market, which means less competition. But it’s important for your curb appeal to keep up with the seasons. Here is our checklist for making your home’s first impression a good one this fall:
___ Autumn colors are beautiful, but not on your lawn. Keep your grass free from leaves and other debris that gathers this time of year by raking and bagging regularly.
___ Spiders and other creepy-crawlies move their homes closer to
Can you buy a home without a REALTOR? You can, but you'll be giving up valuable guidance through what can be a complicated process. What do you really give up when you decide to buy without a REALTOR’s expertise?
Time. Great buyer’s agents spend loads of time online, searching for listings that match your requirements. They spend time on the phone, contacting other agents to get all the details. The great ones even spend time previewing houses before you ever see them – all in an effort to save YOUR time.
Money. A buyer’s agent can tell you if the house you love is really worth the price tag attached to it. They'll provide a market analysis to determine the fair value of the home, potentially saving you thousands.

In the wake of Hurricane Irma, Metro Atlanta saw thousands of downed trees, and today many in our area are still without power. As line crews continue the hard work of restoring power, we thought a few reminders might make clean up a little easier in your neighborhood.
Obviously, if there is a downed power line anywhere near your fallen tree, call your service provider and local authorities. DO NOT try to remove the tree yourself.
If the tree fell on your home or vehicle, call your insurance company first, before lifting a single limb. Typically, homeowners will receive direct reimbursement from the insurance company itself, but your agent can recommend tree removal companies to make your life easier.

At PSP, we’re gearing up for REALTOR Safety Month in September, and just in case you were not present for our continuing education class entitled, “Real Estate Assault Awareness,” here are some of the important points that you missed:
The class instructor was Ken Malcolm, a 32-year veteran of the Covington Police Department and Criminology Professor at Georgia State University. Malcolm started the course by saying there are two types of “bad guys:” the opportunist and the predator. “Both love to target real estate professionals,” he said. “Of all the courses you’ll take, this one is the most important.”
While an opportunist will be encouraged to action when the right circumstances present themselves, a predator acts with forethought and
