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.

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.

I think everyone would agree that the ”best of the best” is the Dekalb Farmer’s Market just outside of Downtown Decatur.  With food and wine from around the globe, it’s an experience just walking in the building!  The Dekalb market is open 7 days a week, similar to a typical grocery store.

If you would like to eat hyper-local, the new trend in many of the Intown Atlanta neighorhoods is to host their own Farmer’s Market.  Here are just a few…

*  Piedmont Park – every Saturday

*  East Atlanta – every Thursday

*  Glenwood Park (near East ATL Village and Ormewood Park) – Every other weekend

*  Morningside Farmers Market – every Saturday

*  East Lake – every Saturday

*  Decatur Organic Market – every Wednesday, March thru November

*  Peachtree Road Market (Buckhead) - every Saturday, April – December

 This weekend, try to get out, meet your neighbors and support your local farmers — it’s a great way to start the day!

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!
