1010 Midtown Holds Town Hall Meeting
As we reviewed our various Google search terms, we found this interesting article (actually appears to be a Press Release base don the fact that we found it at PRWEb.com (and this is a link to the actual article)
Having 100 residents show up to an event like this says tons about the community and the people that live there. We wanted to share it, not only to give you a sense of what is happening in 1010 Midtown, but if you live in another Midtown Atlanta condo building, maybe you can get some ideas for YOUR community!
******************************************************
The newly elected Board of directors for 1010 Midtown, a widely recognized high-rise community in Midtown, Atlanta, in conjunction with their new management company FirstService Residential, spearheaded its first resident town hall meeting on Thursday, July 17 to communicate the Board’s new management initiatives and unveil its new mantra “Care for the Curve” – to compliment the original sales slogan of “Life on the Curve.”
The well-received event hosted in the fourth floor lobby and clubroom attracted over 100 residents who were introduced to 1010 Midtown’s new Resident Experience Committee, comprised of Board members, residents, and representatives from each service department within 1010 Midtown.
“Care for the Curve” and the Resident Experience Committee created to support it, will work to elevate property values and enhance the lifestyles of 1010 Midtown owners and residents. The new Board recognized the need to improve the level of services and amenities offered, and to include a state-of -the art security camera system and real-time video analytics designed to improve response time to safety issues. “It’s the integration of our concierges, our courtesy officers, owner involvement and awareness and use of technology including our new high-tech cameras that builds a safer place to live,” said Judy Reece of the 1010 Midtown Safety Committee. Additional proposed enhancements include marquee signage on Peachtree St NE, more flower beds, fencing and dog relief areas on 12th and Crescent, a new pedestrian walkway, and several detailed diagrams depicting a proposed beautification of 1010 Midtown’s sky park and pool area. “We are thrilled with the great success of our first town hall meeting; staying current with our amenities is critical to protecting our property values and to help 1010 Midtown stay competitive with its neighbors,” said Donn Mann, an Architectural Review Committee member.
“Atlanta’s Midtown area is one of the area’s most dynamic and cosmopolitan neighborhoods, and this new Board is committed to doing everything that it can to ensure that 1010 Midtown stands out as one of the brightest jewels in the crown of Midtown real estate,” said Board President Randall Mullen.
Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo | IKEA
Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo | IKEA
Congratulations! You’ve closed on your new Midtown Atlanta condo, and you are moving in. As you moved out of that old rental apartment, you started to toss! I mean, I’ve got a new place! I want NEW stuff! I want it to be stylish and cool and you know….
Which probably means that old couch and maybe a recliner…they did not make the cut for the moving van! So now the question is, Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo? We will look at numerous options in the Midtown area…and beyond. But let’s start with a close favorite….IKEA! The Atlanta IKEA store is located alongside Atlantic Station off of 17th Street!
The IKEA concept comes from the idea of providing home furnishings that are affordable. If you’ve ever purchased anything at IKEA, you know the one way the keep costs down is to have you assemble the furniture yourself. Hence, you will see much of the items in big flat boxes. If the assembly gig is not for you, never fear. They now even have a service that will come and do the work at your condo for you!
I’m not going to dish them, but I have purchased some items that did not hold up well, and others that are outstanding. My office desks/tables are all from IKEA! I once managed a corporate condo that was almost entirely furnished from IKEA…as you can see, it looked pretty nice!
But you can truly furnish your entire condo from this store! From silverware in the kitchen to towels in the bathroom, you can get most everything you need here. I’ve never purchased a bed from here, so I can’t speak for them. One thing I like about most of their furniture is its clean, simple lines. That big pillow sofa that your parents gave you may have fit in the apartment, but may not work well in your condo space. The furniture here is just designed to work well in the kind of space you get in a Midtown Atlanta condo!
If you are going to visit IKEA, here is the number one piece of advice I can give you….
DO NOT GO TO THE STORE ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. EVER!
IKEA stores are known to draw from a wide geographic area. Look at this map of where stores are in relation to Atlanta…
The Atlanta store draws from Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee! So it’s a weekend destination! The store will be crowed, the parking lot packed, and the lines…..UGH!
You live locally, so take advantage of evening visits! Walk the store, get your ideas and either buy them then, or make a return visit, but just NOT on Saturday or Sunday. If you have a weekday off, stop by the IKEA restaurant for a breakfast special to fuel you for the store.
Why? If you’ve never been to an IKEA, they are HUGE! But the store is well laid out with displays that lead you through all the parts of the home. Everything is labeled, and you find most of it in the IKEA Marketplace, on the lower level. Furniture is found in the self-service area past the Marketplace and before you check out.
IKEA Atlanta! A perfect answer to the question, Where Can I Buy Furniture for My Midtown Atlanta Condo?

Do You Look at Your OWN For Sale Listing?
That seems like a pretty obvious question, right? But do you?
Do You Look at Your OWN Listing?
You are selling the single biggest asset you own. (Most likely anyways!)
You did your homework, and found agents on-line. Or maybe it was a recommendation from someone in the office. Or your gym. Nothing wrong with a referral if your friend was happy with them, right?
You (hopefully) met with at least a couple of them before you made your decision. The presented you a marketing plan, showed you some of their past sales and you said “Let’s Do This!”
But once you’ve signed your Listing Agreement, and the marketing of your home or condo begins, how much do you follow up on what your agent is doing? Or supposed to be doing?
The primary place your home or condo will be marketed is….well….where you are right this very moment. On the Internet. On your laptop, phone or tablet. This is most likely where it will be seen first. So, have you looked at your own listing to SEE how it is being marketed?
Many agents hire professional photographers to do the photographs for listings, and many do not. It’s not to say they HAVE to have a professional so this, if they know what they are doing. But do they? They may be very well versed in photography. And have the right equipment. I personally have a DSLR camera with a wide-angle lens (a MUST if you are trying to photograph a condo!) and my iPhone. Hey, you may think an iPhone is not professional, but you tell me.
Which one of these photos I took was taken with the DSLR and which with my iPhone? Point being, both clear, crisp photos that would look great in the marketing of your Midtown Atlanta condo, especially Viewpoint Midtown, the building on the right.
But I am totally amazed at the photos I find on listings! These photos are being used by the Seller’s agent to market their home!!!
The left is a very blurry bathroom I found just this morning….the middle….a CAT? And the right….do the jeans and the guys come with the condo?
Do You Look at Your OWN For Sale Listing?
If not, maybe you should. And if your photos look like these three or the upside-down bar stools at the top, you better be asking your agent for some new photos. Or maybe be looking for a new agent.
