WHY BUY IT WHEN YOU CAN BORROW IT!

Why buy it when you can borrow it?

How many of us feel inclined to ask our friends and neighbors for help? Can you help me move a piece of furniture, pick up my kid after school, or pick up my mail while I am out of town? The majority of us would say that we would ask for help and would also help if asked.

What is the limit? Would you help me paint my house, build a wireless network in my home, build a deck, or watch my kid for a weekend? That could be pushing.

Your neighbor is a doctor, lawyer, or CPA. Do you constantly seek professional advice without compensating them?

How do you treat your neighbor the realtor?

Barb and I of The Wells Team are faced with this on an ongoing basis.

The opinions that we receive from some strengthen a stereotype about realtors: “All you do is show a couple of houses and receive a commission!”

We would like to dispel a couple of myths:

• We work hard! We are 24/7 constantly marketing, making contact with clients, doing research, and sending information.
• We give up time with our families to accommodate buyers and sellers
• We are continually taking classes to better serve our clients
• Being a realtor cost money! Marketing, technology, insurance, and gas are not free.
• This is our job. We are doing this to provide for our families!

Despite this many people feel inclined to ask us for our time, our knowledge, and our resources only to take advantage of us in the end!

Remember this fact: A commission is placed on a home. The majority of the time that commission will go to the buyers and sellers agent equally. However if you decide to purchase a home without using an agent the selling agent will collect the entire commission. Sales agents from various communities address our real estate agent meetings. They emphasize the same point: Their homes will sell at a set price regardless of the number of agents involved. They want, and encourage, agents to represent you the buyer.

After four successful years we at The Wells Team are proud of the job we have done. If you every need assistance we are only too anxious to help. However before you contact us or any agent please remember that this is how we make a living.

LAKE LANIER IS UP !

Lake Lanier is up. Let the champagne corks fly!

As of this writing we are only five feet below “full pool” on the lake. Residents are once again boating, fishing, swimming, and enjoying everything that the lake has to offer.

In terms of real estate this represents a great time if you are looking for the second home, weekend getaway, rental property, or a new primary home.

Barb and Randy of The Wells Team are 9 year Chestatee residents. Chestatee is the only golf course/lake community on Lake Lanier. Our community marina looks great and there are some boat slips available.

As nine year residents of the lake we have the knowledge you need to buy the right property at the right price. Our real estate company, The Norton Agency, also has an investment on the lake. Now entering our 81st year The Norton Agency sold the first lake lot on Lake Lanier. We have also had representatives from the lake present classes to some of our agents, including The Wells Team. We wear the Lake Lanier Expert designation with pride!

Take advantage of the low interest rates and the slower market to find a great opportunity on the lake!

Barb and Randy will be happy to show you around!

See you on the lake!
