All of us at Lindsey's are mindful of and remember what happened on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.  Today is a day of reflection of all that happened that day and the great loss of life caused by those terrorist attacks on our nation.

That event taught us to be vigilant and to not take our freedoms lightly. The defense of our country must always be a priority. We must be smart and strong in opposition to those who despise us.

Today, we face another unseen enemy in the COVID 19 virus. Like a terrorist, it has killed many and damaged our economy. However, our resolve remains strong, and we are confident that together, we can overcome this hurdle.

The USA is made up of many backgrounds, colors and creeds, and we do not agree all of the time on many issues. However, we all do agree on one thing, and that is that we all love freedom. We can do anything, and overcome anything, worki...

Real Estate - What Is Due Diligence

When purchasing real estate, it is important to know what a due diligence period is. This is the opportunity for the buyer to do their homework and discover information about the property they are purchasing. The due diligence period is negotiable between the buyer and seller and is part of the purchase and sale agreement. In residential real estate, this time period is typically the first 7 to 14 days of the contract but can be longer or shorter. This is the best time for a buyer to conduct a home inspection. Some people think of due diligence like an option. The buyer can option out of the contract without any penalty and have their earnest money returned in full. Regarding home inspections, the buyer can use the ability to option out of the contract as leverage for concerns found during the home inspection. The purchas...

The real estate market is alive and well in Coweta County. We have seen quite a big pickup in demand in the last week or two. It appears that people have been looking at homes and land online during the shelter in place period, looking at our virtual tours, but now they are ready to see the real thing. We have, also, seen a significant increase in commercial and industrial properties. With all the industrial activity around the Moreland I-85 interchange area, we now are seeing increased interest in the Grantville interchange area, as well. I-85 South is now a hot market. Senoia and the North Coweta County remain strong markets and historic downtown Newnan is starting to awaken. We are amazed at the resiliency of the Coweta County market. We are expecting a big push in activity from now through September of this year due to low interest rates and pent up demand. It is a great time to be a buyer...

Covid-19, or the coronavirus, has affected everyone and everything at this point. The virus has significantly affected how we conduct real estate here, in Coweta County. Real estate brokers, lenders, and closing attorneys have been deemed "essential services" by Homeland security as of 3/28/20. We are still listing, showing, selling and closing but the practices have certainly changed.

Realtors are conducting more virtual showings. This involves us using our phones, tablets, etc. for videos, facetime, etc. while we are walking through a house for a potential buyer who may not feel safe getting out to look at property in per...

The spring time is the best time to sell your home. More homes are sold from, the spring time to the fall, than any other time of the year (per GAMLS). Real estate correlates with both the weather and school year. Buyers prefer to look at homes when the weather is nice. Families prefer to move their families once the school year is over. Children are already out of school then and do not have to change schools mid-year. The last day of school for Coweta County, in 2020, is May 22nd. When considering the average market time to sell, a 30-60 day closing process, its best to list in the spring to accomplish a late spring or summer move.

The first day of spring, officially, begins on March 19^th. As a Realtor, we have seen activity pick up the last couple of weeks, in preparation for the spring selling season. Home owners have begun to prepare their homes for...
