782 Delmar Ave - Grant Park

This charming bungalow / cottage was on the market for over three months with another real estate agent when the Ferguson’s hired me to list — and SELL — their home.   After some creative marketing and a few helpful neighbors, we were able to sell it in less than 3 WEEKS at  99.4% of the listing price!  Needless to say, the sellers were thrilled… and very relieved. 

>>  See the Ferguson’s feedback on Kudzu.com

915 PARK AVENUE – Grant Park

This 3 bed / 1 bath bungalow is just steps from Grant Park.  It had some great bones but needed quite a bit of TLC.  While the sellers prepared the home for sale, I focused on some “Coming Soon” marketing and wow, did it work!    Believe it or not, we had a buyer for the home less than 5 minutes after I installed the “Just Listed” sign in front of the home.   The icing on the cake was that the home sold for $209,500 — that’s just $400 less than the $209,900 list price.

After living in Grant Park for more than 10 years, this charming couple is now off to Florida to open a bed and breakfast…. fulfilling a dream they’ve had for decades.  I’m so happy for them and it is one of the many reasons why my role as a real estate agent is so special!

** I just listed a gorgeous Craftsman-style home in Grant Park, so hopefully I will have another happy, happy home seller in a few weeks!

If you are considering selling your home and would like a no-hassle consultation, please call me, Kerry Lucasse,  anytime at (404) 432.1844.  I would be honored to walk you through my “Coming Soon” pre-listing strategy and internet marketing plans.

As an Atlanta real estate agent, I see hundreds of homes each year and have grown quite fond of the new contruction Craftsman-style homes around Atlanta.  You get all the period-style details, high ceilings and charm — without the maintenance that an older 1920s Craftsman Bungalow may require.

After trying to search for new or newer Craftsman homes online, I’ve noticed that it can be a bit of a challenge, so I created a one-stop shop on my website, www.ATLhomesearch.com. 

You can now search for ALL Craftsman-style homes for sale — by neighborhood, subdivision or zip code!

Last week, I listed a GORGEOUS Craftsman in Atlanta’s popular Kirkwood / Oakhurst neighborhood.  In addition to all the period details that people love (i.e. hardwoods, 11+ ft ceilings, etc), this home also features 4 bedrooms + 2 large bonus rooms, 3 full bathrooms and a 2-car garage.  It’s the best of both worlds!

Last weekend I toured some stunning new listings in Grant Park, one of the most popular “Intown” Atlanta neighborhoods.  One of my favorite things to do as a real estate professional is to tour historic homes, especially old Victorians and Craftsman bungalows.   

A few years ago, your average home buyer would not have been able to afford one of the gorgeous old homes on Cherokee that overlook Grant Park.   NOW there are several amazing deals, including this 4 bedroom / 3 full bath FULLY renovated home. 

The sellers have been transferred out of state and need to sell immediately.  The price is now just $419,900… priced $100,000 BELOW appraisal according to the listing agent.

The kitchen was beautifully remodeled by Saw Horse, one of the premiere renovation companies in Atlanta.  The master suite is spacious and the hardwoods really sparkle.  It’s hard not to fall in love with this home!
