You’ve made the decision to sell your Midtown Atlanta Condo. Awesome!
But, are you making it EASY to sell your Midtown Atlanta Condo?
Did you ask your Listing Agent that you do not want to have a lockbox at the Concierge Desk or on the door?
Did you ask your Listing Agent that all showings be by Appointment Only?
When you make the decision to sell your Midtown Atlanta Condo, you have to consider…you will need the condo to have showings to get an offer, have a contract and SELL! And you want to make that first part of that equation….showings….as easy as possible.
I always counsel my Sellers that you need to keep the place picked up and clean….all-the-time when you are For Sale! I know that’s hard, but put the hair dryer away in the morning, make the bed and wash your breakfast dishes or put them in the dishwasher! While Buyers Agents will try (sometimes) to follow instructions, sometimes the Buyers just found your listing and they want to see it….NOW! And we need to make that as easy as possible.
Understandably, if you have children or pets, special arrangements have to be made. But in those early days of listing your Midtown Atlanta condo for sale, is when the critical and perhaps best showings happen. And you don’t want to miss that opportunity!
No Sign — is really no problem in a condominium since they are not allowed in most places. If you do happen to be selling a single family home, that sign could be one of the keys that helps sell your home. A potential buyer could be driving the neighborhood, and somehow in their Internet search, missed your home. That sign could spur a showing call.
No Lockbox — This modern convenience HELPS sell your home! Licensed real estate agents have keys to open these boxes. It gives your agent a record of who looked at your home, and when. Now, in a condo, it’s possible to leave a key release with the Concierge. But again, the important contact information from the showing agent can be missing. Let’s say you make a price change after being on the market for a few days….your Listing Agent can quickly send a direct email to all the past agents that showed your home by getting that information from the lockbox readings.
Appointment Only — This goes back to having your home picked up and clean every day while you are on the market to sell. You should really only consider Appointment only if you have some special circumstance like pets and children. Agents jsut might pass over showing your home or condo if you make it a challenge.
Selling Your Midtown Atlanta Condo. No Sign, No Lockbox, Appointment Only. All things to seriously think about.

I grew up in Montana.
One year, when I was a kid, we had to snowmobile a mile from the highway into our house…that’s how much snow we had. I think it was the same year when the snow was piled so high on either side of the road, it was like driving in a tunnel. I’ve seen me some bad weather.
But when they predict freezing rain, or an ice storm in the South, it truly brings everything to a grinding halt. It’s pretty hard to do much when EVERYTHING is covered with a sheet of ice. Imagine you could poor water over your entire car, but it freeze the instant it touched it. THAT is what an ice storm looks like.
We are “hunkered down” in our home, well provisioned, with our fingers still crossed we don’t lose power. So far so good, but the day is not over yet.
It’s been a winter alright….even my friends up North have seen their fair share of snow, snow, and more snow. So I suppose a couple days here is not the end of the world. Well, unless you were in a grocery store yesterday afternoon. Then you might have thought otherwise.
Welcome to Georgia Tech and Midtown Atlanta!When I first went off to college, it was but a mere 35 miles from my home. I started at Montana State University. I was a bit to insecure about myself to venture to far from the “nest” I guess! And I think I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. (And maybe I still am?) But after 3 years, I made a HUGE leap, and transferred to the University of Houston and the Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management. Obviously, since you are on a real estate-related website, I’ve since changed careers.
But I do remember many choice moments in my college days. I took the extended plan (6 years) to get one degree, but I had a blast doing it. My profession, unlike most of those you will pursue at Georgia Tech, was not 100% based on your GPA, but also on your work experience. I remember the interview that landed my first job, and I know it was as much my out-of-classroom experience as it was my in-the-classroom experience that got me that job.
One thing I DON’T remember about either college was anything special happening when I arrived. Of course, MSU was my Freshman college…I had three years under my belt when I transferred to UofH. But I can say, I don’t think I was welcomed to MSU quite the way the Freshman class of 2013 was welcomed to Georgia Tech.
Enjoy the college experience. At some point, you might want to escape the dorm life and look for a Georgia Tech off-campus housing option . When you and your parents make that decision. it most likely will involve purchasing a Midtown Atlanta condo.
I’ll be happy to help you and your parents find a great condo and can tell you about ALL the options available to you when you start to explore Midtown Atlanta.
I can’t promise you any theme music, but, I’ll be here to help!

Talk about a real deal. The folks at Redfin have confirmed that rapper Rick Ross has purchased the monstrous former Fayetteville home…
It was not a Hollywood actor-type taking up residence that purchased this monster of a mansion, but let’s hope that Rick Ross can keep the place up.
