Buyers find home in Walton High in East Cobb

Chris and Staci were moving from Texas with their two teenagers. They were looking for a home in East Cobb in the Walton High or Pope High School district. A finished basement was a big priority. We finally found the perfect one!

Here’s what Chris had to say about working with Becky, “Becky did a fantastic job for us; from recommending the right location for our family to searching for the perfect place and negotiating more than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new home. We will use her next time we need services and make sure everyone we know is aware of what an asset she is in their searches.”

Filing for Homestead in metro Atlanta

Did you buy a home in the Atlanta area in 2011?

If you purchased your home last year and have not already done so, remember to file for a Homestead Exemption. This can save you thousands of dollars in property taxes!

While some states provide this exemption automatically, in Georgia a homestead exemption must be applied for. Depending on the county, this can be done online, by fax, by mail or in person. You only have to apply for the exemption once. The exemption remains as long as you reside in the home as your primary residence.
