Million Dollar Homes For Sale In DeKalb County GA

Search Million Dollar Homes in Dekalb County GANot to say you can’t find a great home for UNDER $1 Million, why not have a place where you can search for homes that are $1 Million and more?

DeKalb County GA is one of the primary Metro Atlanta counties. In fact, part of the city of Atlanta is in DeKalb County. In the 2010 census, the population was 691,893, making it the third-most populous county in Georgia. The county seat is Decatur, a popular community to live in. In recent years, other parts of the county have incorporated to have a better control of their areas. Brookhaven became a city, and Chamblee and Doraville both annexed surrounding areas into their cities. In 2015, voters voted on creating the city of Lavista Hills, basically located from N.Druid Hills Road north east to include the area known as Northcrest outside of I-285 and South to include the areas of Embry Hills and Northlake Mall. This measure did not pass. (As of early 2016, some residents have expressed interest in being annexed into Chamblee) Also, on Tuesday, November 3, 2015, Tucker was approved in a referendum to become DeKalb’s 12th city, and will be incorporated in 2016.

Most of the homes in this price range are going to be located in the Northern part of the county, in areas like Decatur, Brookhaven and Dunwoody.

Various school clusters serve DeKalb County and Buyers would want to research those specific schools based on their needs.

Dekalb County is also only one of two counties (Fulton being the other) that approved the construction of MARTA in the 1970’s….hence why MARTA rail transit only runs in these two counties.

Invented in Georgia! Did You Know?

Invented in Georgia! Did You Know?

What Has Been Invented in GeorgiaWe’ve all heard it living in the South. Maybe we are not as smart or creative as other parts of the country. Stereotyping people and places is kinda common throughout the world, not just the United States.

What encourages people to move to one place or another? Lifestyle? Job? Economy? Weather? Family? Certainly you want to know you can sustain a living wherever you move.

But have you ever wondered, besides Coca Cola and Home Depot, what is Georgia famous for? Have we made any discoveries? Yeah, you could say we have.

Take a moment and watch this short video from the Georgia Research Alliance. I think you will agree, we got some pretty good “smarts” right here in Georgia!

 

 

Are You Considering Relocating to Atlanta, Georgia? A Personal Letter

by

Dear Potential Atlanta Home Buyer,

Are You Considering Relocating to Atlanta, Georgia?

Atlanta is a wonderful city, filled with everything a big city offers, as well as all kinds of hidden gems. It’s a pretty cool place to live. I mean I’ve been here for 21 years!!! I’m originally from Montana (yes, they let a select few of us out each year!) but have lived in New Orleans, LA, Myrtle Beach, SC, Miami, FL, and was in Atlanta for about 1.5 years, then went to New York and came back to Atlanta. I’ve been here ever since. (All of those moves were compliments of my years in the Hospitality industry with Hilton Hotels and Nikko Hotels.)

Atlanta Georgia Real Estate AgentIf you are considering relocating to Metro Atlanta, I would love the opportunity to help you find the right place to call home. But I’m a little bit different than most real estate agents in how I help my clients, and thought it might be better if I told you right up front, how I work.

Even before I started selling real estate, I loved Midtown Atlanta. I started in 2004, so many of the condominium buildings I’m familiar with did not even exist when I started selling. I’ve taken my love of Midtown Atlanta, and my knowledge about the neighborhood and have sold most of my real estate during this past 11 years in Midtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. What does this mean to you as a home buyer if you want to live in say, Cobb or Cherokee County? I’m not going to be the agent who knows that market the best. And that’s actually a good thing as I see it. I don’t believe you can know every neighborhood, or every county in Metro Atlanta. Shoot, the metro Atlanta area is now 15-20 counties, depending on who you ask. Can you even imagine how one person could know all that?

So, I choose to focus on Intown neighborhoods basically from I-20 North to I-285. And THAT is still a huge area! But how is this a good thing for you? You will see MyMidtownMojo.com and Thomas Ramon Realty are affiliated with Palmer House Properties. When I joined the brokerage in 2010, we had about 300 agents. We now have over 1300 agents throughout the Metro Atlanta area. So, if you want to look for a home in a part of Atlanta I don’t feel I can give you the best service, I’ll find you an agent that I KNOW and TRUST to help you in the area of Atlanta where you want to live. And that is how I approach real estate.

I’ve helped buyers and sellers with single family homes, condos, lofts and townhomes. Both resale and new construction.

I’ve never had a complaint filed with the Georgia Real Estate Commission. I’ve never been involved in a mediation or a lawsuit since I’ve been selling real estate. Not every agent can say that.

I’m known amongst my peers and clients as a detailed, professional individual that works to make sure everyone knows what is happening every step of the way. And while it is my business and my livelihood to sell real estate, I won’t hesitate to talk you out of purchasing a particular condo or home, or not accept an offer on your home if it’s going to be a bad decision for you.

I’ve worked with everyone from first-time home buyers, to people downsizing to actors purchasing homes here in Atlanta because of our ever growing film and television industry! So, I’ve had many challenges, and I’ve never had a client say they would never work with me again!

Remember all those cities I listed above? I did a corporate relocation five times in my years in the hotel industry. I remember moving to Atlanta, and not knowing where the dry cleaners, or grocery store, or local watering hole was. It was a learning experience every time! So I know just how it feels!

If you’ve moved in the past, and had an agent experience that did not “sit well with you,” I want to change that experience for you! You will find I take the time to ask important questions. Learn about you, your lifestyle, your needs and wants in a neighborhood, or building and where you will be working. I never want you coming home at night, thinking, “Why did I buy here.”

I want to work for you…and with you to help you find the right new home here in Atlanta, or certainly the right agent to help you if it’s an area I don’t know! I hope you will Call me 770.713.1505 (my cell phone is never far away from me!) Click (You will find contact forms all around this site, or even email me at Thom@MyMidtownMojo.com, or Text me!

I’m confident you won’t be disappointed! In fact, you might just have a new friend once you are settled here!

Atlanta Relocation Guide | What Is the Weather Like In Atlanta?

by

There is a long list of things to like or love about living in Atlanta. And the weather ranks right up there. You could say that Atlanta is a city for all seasons, since we do have all four of them…Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Now, live here for awhile and you might find (or agree) that some of them are longer or shorter than others. Indeed.

Atlanta Relocation Guide | What Is the Weather Like In Atlanta?

What Is the weather in AtlantaWinter …. This season is supposedly from December to February. How do you define Winter in Atlanta? When the temps get to freezing? Then it can start in November! And the end of Winter is no different. It can run into March, and our last date for a frost is always the 2nd week or so of April. So, for those wanting to get crazy planting flowers and such….you just have to hold on till that frost window is gone. But you can have many days that are in the 60’s for a high and only 40’s for a low.

Does Atlanta get snow? Yes we do. Sometimes a little. Sometimes a lot. And it does not take much snow in Atlanta to make the city freak out and shut down. But that is because it is often in the form of freezing rain, followed by snow, or the other way around. And in a city with hills and few snow plows, it does become a challenge to get around. If snow is in the forecast, you just plan ahead for groceries, have your car gassed up (not that you will be driving anywhere..I just know that from growing up in Montana!) and plan to work from home for a day or two. If you have an employer that insists you get to work, you might want to have a talk with them.

Weather in Atlanta GASpring… This season is supposedly from March to May. You know Spring is in the air, when you see yellow clouds and yellow dust covering everything. This, my friend is pollen. And he may not be your friend if you have allergies! But, it is a small price to pay for the beautiful, wooded canopy that covers the city!! Spring temps are in the 70’s and maybe 80’s….but it is this season that just one day changes and …BAM!!! It’s hot and it’s….

Summer… Anyone who has ever spent time in Atlanta during the Summer, knows how Atlanta was nicknamed “Hotlanta!” And this is one reason we stress to condo buyers that your building have a pool. You WILL thank me later! One advantage is Atlanta is less than 2 hours from the North Georgia Mountains…where the temp is always much cooler. And you will find lakes all around Atlanta, both almost in the city (Lake Lanier and Lake Allatoona) and in the mountains, and central Georgia, like Lake Oconee and Lake Sinclair. If you can afford to have a second home, a lake or mountain cabin is awesome…and you are sure to have lots of friends!

Fall… from September to late November is simply breathtaking. You can take a drive to the mountains to catch Fall colors, but you really only have to drive through any neighborhood and you will catch vibrant colors everywhere!! The temperatures moderate and make outdoor activities very enjoyable.

As you can see, Atlanta has the joy of enjoying all the seasons, our Winter not being as harsh as being up North, but not having constant warm weather you may find in Florida. It really is a great part of living in Atlanta!

Could GE Headquarters Join NCR Corp in Midtown Atlanta?

by

Seriously, you have to love the buzz that Midtown Atlanta is getting these days! All these plans and proposals (some definite, like NCR and some still out there like GE) make for exciting times in the real estate market! Buyer and Sellers….Beware!

Could GE Join NCR Corp in a new Midtown Atlanta Headquarters?

The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported today that even though GE has not yet set their little footies in Atlanta, there are some key players (a.k.a. incredible sites) that want to be ready to show them the town…Midtown Atlanta that is!

GE is drawing interest from multiple cities (Dallas being one of them) but the City of Atlanta and Georgia has already  met with GE. The potential relocation comes on the heels of a recently passed tax package in Connecticut that did not sit to well with GE. CEO Jeffery Immelt formed an exploratory committee, seeking a more “pro-business environment.” And we know that Governor Deal and Mayor Kasim Reed are all about the business in Georgia and Atlanta!

The ABC article included a rendition of how the GE headquarters could look as part of Atlantic Station. Here is that idea…

GE Headquarters Midtown ATL

 

Ok….this is awesome news. Now, will some architect PL-E-E-E-E-E-ZE step up to the plate and design something that will truly WOW the 300,000 cars on the Downtown Connector Daily!!!! I mean….ANOTHER square block building?  The article states:

GE leadership sees a move from Connecticut as possibly the best opportunity to remake the company, turn away from appliances, and put a greater emphasis on software development, industrial technology, or manufacturing, Atlanta Business Chronicle has reported.

Well then…if you want to remake your company, start with a truly landmark office tower that says, “Oh heck yeah…we are HERE!” And of course this is yet another location that is prime to tap the talent pool  that IS Georgia Tech!

To give you your bearings on where this could possibily happen…the photo below I took when the Cirque Du Soleil was set up…so the proposed GE tower would be about where the white tents are.

So, you can SEE why that is a killer location for an architectural masterpiece!

Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Midtown Atlanta scores another great corporate relocation….and that Midtown Atlanta might score something impressive for it’s skyline!
