Lake Lanier Real Estate Today

We had a fantastic time today showing homes! Yes, the weather is rainy, cold, dreary and temps are in the 40's but real estate activities were abundant.

We started out with a two hour HOA meeting in Gainesville for the community where my lake home is located. That meeting had a good turnout, was very productive, informative and upbeat. We discussed various topics ranging from the community's budget to pool repairs and landscaping. After voting on board officers, I was forced to escape early for home showings at Rim Cove on the south end of Lake Lanier.

At Rim Cove, I visited five condos with varying lake views, dock access, and swim/tennis amenities. These units ranged in price from the low $80K to the $160K+ range. We saw foreclosures in need of major renovations and also saw remodeled cozy cottages with tremendous vacation appeal. Overall, my impression was that these units offer fantastic amenities and lake access for an unbeatable price!

Later, we moved on to show off-lake homes in Buford and Sugar Hill. There are lots of foreclosure and aggressively priced homes on the market, and with so many homes available, many buyers start to feel guilty about asking a Realtor to accompany them to so many showings. It made me feel happy and inspired to be a part of their buying process. I made them realize that when you love what you do, it is not about selling your client a home, but about finding your client the perfect home that they would love to own. That is what makes real estate so much fun. To all of my clients, "Many thanks for allowing me to be a part of your home search!" And many thanks for a great weekend of real estate!
