            <title>Only 2 Homes Left in Grady Manor</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Within walking distance to Smyrna Market Village, Grady Manor is one of Smyrna's most popular new construction neighborhoods.


One of the last new construction homes just went under contract last week, which leaves only two for sale in this great little community.


The first is a corner lot home at 2703 Grady Street and is the last of the brand new homes. It has a beautiful brick exterior with high end upgrades throughout the interior.





The second home is a foreclosure&nbsp;at 2691 Grady Street and larger than most of the others in this neighborhood. It needs some cleaning and new paint interior but is otherwise a great deal for this location and quality of construction.





If you're looking for new construction homes in Smyrna or are just looking to talk with the Smyrna Real Estate Specialist for buyers, then please give me a call at 678-739-8686. I would love to talk with you about your plans and help you find a great deal!

            <title>A New Line Is Drawn For Schools</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;


&nbsp;


One of the biggest topics of discussion right now in Atlanta is the redistricting of the public schools. &nbsp; It has caught some people by surprise and others were expecting the issue.&nbsp; There are a number of great public schools in the Atlanta area.&nbsp; This combined with it being such a great time to buy a house in these areas as well as other areas of Atlanta it has put an increased demand on a few of these schools.&nbsp; Not to worry though.&nbsp; The Atlanta Public School board is meeting to fix the issue.&nbsp; In fact one of the solutions may include building a brand new elementary school very close to Buckhead!&nbsp; As of today there are two options on the table that the Atlanta Public School board is deciding between and from the people that I have spoken to both seem to be good options.&nbsp; If you do not have children yet and are thinking about moving into the Atlanta area keep your ears open because the final decision should be coming out soon.&nbsp; In Buckhead Morris Brandon is one of the best elementary schools.&nbsp; This house located at 1127 Moores Mill Road NW is incredible.&nbsp; It has just had a price reduction and is in a great location.&nbsp; This is just one of many houses that are for sale in great school districts.

            <title>An Incredible Deal In Buckhead</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
 


There are a number of incredible houses on the market today.&nbsp; One in particular that I found is located in a very desirable part of Buckhead.&nbsp; This house has great views of Memorial Park, is located in an incredible school district and the price has just been drastically reduced.&nbsp; People ask me all the time to find their dream house in their dream location.&nbsp; The only question can be the price.&nbsp; Not with this house.&nbsp; This house is definitely in a dream location and has an incredible price.&nbsp; Located at 2487 Howell Mill Road, this could very easily be your dream house!&nbsp; 


&nbsp;








The mortage rates continue to be absolutely incredible.&nbsp; Today the rate 
for a 30 year fixed is 4.085% and 3.405% for a 15 year fixed.&nbsp; It 
definitely continues to be a great time to buy a house.&nbsp; Whether you are looking for a house in Buckhead or in another area around Atlanta I would be happy to help you find what you are looking for.

            <title>47 New Homes for Sale in Smyrna/Vinings</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
There&nbsp;are already&nbsp;47 new single family homes listed for sale&nbsp;in Smyrna and Vinings since the start of 2012 and some are selling very quickly.


Twice within the past week I have talked with buyers about homes that already have multiple offers,&nbsp;which means the seller has the luxury of requesting "highest and best" offers from prospective buyers. In most cases this means the seller will get at least their asking price, if not higher. This also means you want a skilled buyer's agent working on your behalf to negotiate the deal and make sure you still get a great value.








By far my favorite home for sale is located in the highly sought after neighborhood of Paces Lake in Vinings. This French inspired masterpiece at 2934 Paces Lake Drive&nbsp;just hit the market yesterday and&nbsp;is sure to impress even the most discerning buyer.


Here is a full list of homes for sale in Smyrna and homes for sale in Vinings.


Whether you are looking to buy or sell, Smyrna/Vinings real estate is my specialty and I would love to earn your business. Please give me a call at 678-739-8686 and let's keep the momentum going to turn this economy around one house at a time.

3. They are within walking distance to everything Vinings.

            <title>New Year's Resolution</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 



&nbsp;


&nbsp;


I hope everyone had a good holiday.&nbsp; In this last week before the new year begins many people try to come up with a new year's resolution.&nbsp; One to definitely consider is to finally take advantage of this buyer's market before it is over.&nbsp; The interest rates have continued to stay low and there are still amazing deals.&nbsp; For example, this house in Marietta Country Club has just had a drastic reduction in price.&nbsp; It has amazing details, an incredible kitchen and a spectacular yard.&nbsp; This is definitely worth taking a look.

Happy New Year!

            <title>$30 Million in Home Sales for Hirsh</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Ben and I were discussing our 2011 numbers this morning and were quite encouraged at Hirsh Real Estate Specialists' performance this year!


Over $30 Million in Sales


It has been another banner year for Hirsh Real Estate Specialists! Our agents have worked tirelessly throughout 2011 to sell more than $30 million in real estate and our clients have reaped the benefits. The road has certainly had its share of hurdles, but one step at a time we are emerging as one of Atlanta's most successful real estate brokerages. If you or those you know are in need of professional real estate services, we would love to talk with you about your needs.


Mortgage Rate Lows


A high point for home owners, mortgage rates have remained unexpectedly low throughout 2011 and are forecast to stay this way well into 2012. As I highlighted in a recent blog post, a lower rate can be more beneficial than a larger down payment. So if you are considering a refinance or purchase, this is an excellent time to take advantage of rates!30 Year Fixed - 3.99%15 Year Fixed - 3.27%


Growing into 2012


As we look toward 2012, we have a number of plans in place to expand our brokerage. This will include adding team members (jobs), increasing services to our clients and improving technology. Some of you have already experienced our transition toward a "paperless office" this year as the vast majority of our home sales have been negotiated and closed using electronic contracts. In other words, you can basically buy a home from your smart phone.Thank you for your friendship, your loyalty and your business. I look forward to staying in touch.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

            <title>Georgia Fly-In Communities: Park a Plane in your Garage</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Did you know that there are more than&nbsp;two dozen fly-in communities in Georgia? Some are even&nbsp;closer and&nbsp;more affordable than you might think. You can literally land in your own neighborhood, taxi up to your own front door and park a plane in your garage.





As many of you know, I am active in commercial aviation as well as residential real estate and have a passion for both. So it's always exciting when the two come together. My personal favorite fly-in community is Heaven's Landing, located in Rabun County,&nbsp;just a few miles north of beautiful Lake Burton. Some 1.5 acre lots are now&nbsp;for sale as low as $199,000.





If you want to be a little closer to Atlanta, then Lyons Landing is another great option about 30 miles west of the city. Prices range from $89,500 to $145,000 for Airpark/Lake lots between 1.1 to 1.7 acres.


For those who prefer complete privacy and have a bit more money to spend, 3427 Green Apple Road&nbsp;is an impressive Lake Lanier Estate with a personal helicopter pad, an infinity pool and two private docks.


&nbsp;


So whether you need a real estate professional who understands the finer points of aviation or you are just looking for a great deal on a home in the Atlanta area, please give me a call at 678-739-8686 or send me an email at Brian@HirshRealEstate.com. I would love to talk with you about your plans and how I can help you realize your goal of owning a dream home.
