            <description> <![CDATA[ 
It is a popular misconception that banks are often accepting half of what they are asking.&nbsp; 

This is not the case.&nbsp; The reality is that banks often list homes at half of their former value.&nbsp; Banks only accept offers that discounted on select properties that have been on the market for quite some time.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

When foreclosures are listed the properties have been appraised and thoroughly inspected and the banks are quite aware of all repairs needed.&nbsp;

 Well if you are on this website my guess is that you have narrowed it down to living in North Georgia but are still not sure where in North Georgia you would like to live. 


For those of you from out-of-state, allow me to help by pointing out the more popular areas.



Lake Lanier is the hot spot in North Georgia. 



Where to live on the lake has always been a question many of 
my clients have asked me. First, let me start by saying that Lake Lanier
 made up of&nbsp;5 counties:

            <description> <![CDATA[ 

I have a lot of clients tell me &quot;Christian, I want a deal on Lake Lanier!&quot; 


 And they all pretty much have the same criteria (more or less) when looking for that perfect Lake Home.  

For example:  New Construction, Lake Frontage, Dock on deepwater (i.e. drought proof), short path to the dock, clear unobstructed views of the water from every room and most importantly&hellip;they want it for a bargain price or I should say for under $400K just because  &quot;It&rsquo;s a Buyer&amp;rsquo... ]]> </description>

            <title>How will an Increase in Mortgage Rates Affect Me?</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
To understand the effects of mortgage rates, we have to first understand how they work.&nbsp; Mortgage rates are based off of Mortgage Backed Securities.&nbsp; 

Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) are basically investments in mortgage loans.&nbsp; MBS&rsquo;s represent mortgage bonds and are made up of pools of mortgages.&nbsp; MBS&rsquo;s are traded just like stocks and their value fluctuates on a daily basis.&nbsp; Rates are constantly changing just like stocks.&nbsp; Throughout a trading day, ... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Why should you get pre-approved for a 
mortgage?&nbsp;


Getting a pre-approval letter gives you 
substantial leverage.&nbsp; 

Sellers immediately see you as a serious buyer.&nbsp; 
Not only will you know the exact price range you can afford, you'll 
be able to negotiate a better deal and move faster when you see a house 
you like. &nbsp; You'll need to supply information to verify your income, 
credit history, debts and assets. Lender&rsquo;s will then issue a letter 
stating that you... ]]> </description>
