Welcome to Maximum One Realty, your source for Metro Atlanta real estate. In today's competitive real estate market, timing is everything. Many good homes are sold before they are ever advertised. Beat other homebuyers to the hottest new homes for sale in with my New Listings Notification. Search all homes listed in Georgia, including those in my target area of Atlanta, Marietta, Powder Springs, Kennesaw, Acworth, Sandy Springs and Dunwoody.  If you enjoy the serenity of lakeside living, begin your search here for the perfect property on Lake Allatoona, Lake Lanier or Lake Arrowhead. As 2009 ended, we saw an uptick in real estate activity.  This trend is expected to continue in 2010.  The savvy buyer knows that homes are plentiful, prices are soft and interest rates are low.  Many opportunities exist for the acquisition of a bank or government owned foreclosure.  Be part of the foreclosure solution--Call or e-mail me for a free list of foreclosures and see if there is an opportunity for you.  Last year the Federal Government offered an income tax credit up to $8000 to first time home buyers. This year the rebate has been extended and expanded.  First timers still qualify for up to $8000 and all buyers  who have lived in their present home for at least five years may qualify for a tax credit of up to$6500.    For details on this great piece of legislation  visit  www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com .   Don't delay - homes must be under contract by April 30. Let me help to make 2010 the year for you to find your dream home!    If you own real estate that you're thinking of selling, I would be happy to provide you with a FREE Home Evaluation.
