Short Sale Listing in Tucker Georgia Great Buy For First Time Home Buyer

I have a listing at 1714 Gloucester Way that will be a steal of a deal for a first time home buyer.  This is a short sale.  The lender will have to approve the price.  That's because the current price is less than the owner owes on the mortgage.  It needs some cosmetic love but the "bones" look great to me.  The yard is out of control but some weekends with a saw and some leaf bags could perform a metamorphosis on this ugly duckling.

Steal A Tucker Ranch with Basement

1714 Gloucester Way

SHORT SALE: $ 139,900

¨ 3 BRs, 1 Baths. Larger corner lot.

¨ Full basement ready to finish

¨ Fenced back yard. Updated kitchen.

¨ Hardwood floor.Lender approval required

¨ Needs some cosmetic but solid throughout

¨  Brockett ES,  Tucker MS & HS

Some buyers are looking at this and are seeing a problem with 1.5 baths.  The configuration is a vanity area off the hall, a tub/shower area in the middle and then a connecting master BR vanity area.  All these bath areas are connected by doors.  No bath conversion is easy but a conversion to two separate baths would be quite economical in this situation.  Call me if you need an estimate from a contractor.

Tim and I sold an investment home this summer we had owned for a number of years.  This is a solid neighborhood with very little turnover.  There are very few rentals (we never had [problems finding a tenant).  I would like to buy it myself bit I don't have the down payment (one daughter in college and one in private school).

Yes, the home has a basement that is partially finished.  It would be easy for many owners to finish out the space themselves.  It is already wired etc.  Just needs the cosmetics.

If you are looking for a clean, new paint, new hardware and light fixtures kind of home.....this is not it.  If you would like to do a fixer upper and put some sweat equity dollars in your pocket..,.then get moving.

 Tucker Closing Attorneys: Kareem Maddison, Office of Morris Hardwick and Schneider

The English Team lists, sells and closes a lot of homes in the Tucker Georgia suburb of Atlanta Georgia so it was no accident we ran into Kareem Maddison soon after his arrival at the Tucker Office of Morris Harwick Schneider.  Our first impression was how helpful his office was with the documents sellers need to do short sales.  We soon found out he provides this same wonderful service to buyers and sellers.  Kareem could not do this without the more than capable assistance of Clarissa Choto and Nicole Warren.  They make the office tick like a Swiss watch and they always keep a smile on their face and a leap in their step!

 

 

From the MHS website Bio: Kareem Maddison is an attorney in the firm's Tucker - Northlake office where he focuses his practice on REO and conventional residential closings. Kareem joined Morris|Hardwick|Schneider in 2003. He is a member of the Real Property Law Section of the Georgia Bar and serves on the Pro Bono Committee. Kareem is also a member of the Georgia Real Estate Closing Attorneys Association

Kareem earned his B.A. from the University of Virginia and his J.D. from Emory University School of Law. At Emory, Kareem was awarded the Ben Johnson Academic Scholarship and the Black Law Students' Association Merit Scholarship.

Swimming Pool Vinyl Liner Tear Needs Repair in Tucker Georgia

It is freezing cold here in Atlanta bit I need a contractor usually associated with the warm summertime!  This is a shout out to all my blog readers about a referral to a contractor who does vinyl pool liner reapairs.

One of my listings in Tucker Georgia has a pool with a vinyl liner that has a tear of about 2 inches in length.  The tear occurred when a concrete block (holding a pool cover over the pool in place) fell in the pool when snow was piled up on the pool cover.

So, if you are a pool contractor or know a good pool contractor who can help out with a vinyl pool liner repair in Tucker Georgia, give me a shout.

Sally's List of Approved Contractors

I have contractors for all types of work who I refer out to my clients (and to people who call and ask for a referral).  My contractors have proven track records and will not price gouge.  If anyone complains I check it out.  If the complaint is valid then that contractor is gone forever from my list. 

Here is a brief description of what it means to be placed on Sally's List of Approved Contractors:

• Being placed on Sally's list is a priviledge. 
• There is no charge and you are asked to do no favors for me. 
• However, the standards are high. 
• Screw up and you are gone. 
• Overcharge and you are gone. 
• I built custom homes for a living for 10 years
• and have an engineering degree and background,
• I do not like BS.

New Tucker Library Opened

 

The new Tucker library has opened at the corner of LaVista Road and Lawrenceville Highway (US 29).  The new facility is amazing.  The interior is very open and well laid out.  There is lots of light from the wall of glass along the LaVista Road side of the facility.  There are neat sitting areas and lots of whistles and bells.  I thought the old facility was adequate but will confess the new building was well designed.

Technology was given major consideration and the facility has much more computer access plus more accessible technology.  Putting a computer to search the catalog in the stacks was a great idea.  Another great idea would have been adding a vendor in the facility to sell coffee and light refreshments (Starbucks,Caribou,Dunkin Donuts).  Just saying.......

Okay, there were some things that made me sad

1. I could not identify any change in the book collection.  There have been inadequate book resources at the Tucker library for some time.  And whoever is buying the books is not in touch with the needs of the community.  Yes, the Spanish language collection was enlarged.  That was a good thing.  But I am not ready to give up on books!!!!!  I could do with a few less whistles and bells in the facility as a tradeoff for more books in the stacks.

2. Parking is a mess.  There must be a rule in Decatur DeKalb library design that requires inconvenient parking.  I watched a mother with small children unload and drag her stuff across a lot of pavement before her family could enter the library.  Why?  Because six or more spaces right in front of the entrance are reserved for alternative fuel cars (unused during my visit) and the parking lot was poorly designed in general.  I appreciate the concept but I am not a fan of this type "social" engineering.

3. Walkers and bus riders get even less consideration.  They are routed the long way in and out of the facility instead of directly off the LaVista road sidewalk.  There is already a "path" developing through the landscaping that makes it obvious the designers did not give much consideration to walkers and riders, our true alternative fuel users.

KUDOS to

1. The interior designer who selected the furniture and design elements.

2. The architect who designed the windows along LaVista.

3. The citizens paying for these improvements.

4. The addition of The Teaching Company college lecture series (on CD and DVD) to the collection.
