One of our foreclosure homes protected from pests by green solutions
GaHomeForeclosures is proud of the work we do turning foreclosures into new opportunities for first time homebuyers and other house hunters. We strive to include environmentally friendly actions in that work. This starts with the core of our mission to stop neglected homes from falling apart, which helps both neighborhoods and the environment. Once we get our lender owned foreclosure homes in show ready condition, we are careful to make sure our affiliated agents are energy conscious when showing the homes or hosting open houses. We also use environmentally friendly upkeep methods for pest control from Northwest Exterminating, including NorPest Green Pest Control and The Sentricon System Green Termite Control.

One of the GaHomeForeclosures investor-ready homes
GaHomeForeclosures is proud to announce that our investor ready homes are flying off of the market. These homes are priced less than $100,000, in many cases less than $25,000, and are located all around Georgia. These investment homes are typically cash purchases and close in just a few days. GaHomeForeclosures is proud to announce they have more inventory coming onto the market all the time for the investment buyer.
While the homes are marketed to investors, there are amazing deals for those looking for a fixer upper home. Whether you have a fair hand with tools or know a great contractor, you can’t beat deals like a three bedroom, two bathroom, four sided brick ranch for only $38,900! Add on to that hardwood floors and a private backyard, and you’re going from a deal to a steal at that price. Read More→

Brownstones at Decatur Grand Opening Event a Success
Posted by: | Comments
Alicia MacPhee and other excellent agents provided great service at the Brownstones at Decatur opening event
The Brownstones at Decatur Grand Opening event on March 1 was a great success, with numerous brokers and buying parties coming to see our gorgeous townhomes in the heart of Atlanta. The event was a success not only because we were able to share the beauty of these amazingly low priced lender owned foreclosures with the public, but also because three of them went under contract that night. This leaves only eight of these luxury townhomes with prices starting in the $300,000s available.
The event itself was hosted by featured agent Alicia MacPhee and her team of expert agents. The reception was fully catered by Crepe Masters. Tours were given of the fully decorated model as well as some of the other townhomes. Read More→
BUY NOW – New Charges Coming to FHA Loans Soon!
Posted by: | Comments
FHA Mortgage costs are increasing in April
In GaHomeForeclosures’ effort to keep our buyers informed about the latest changes in home financing, we want to share some important information from preferred lender Gina Spearman at Academy Mortgage. This news has to do with an increase in the Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium for Fair Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages, which will become effective on April 9, 2012.
FHA loans are popular, especially with first time homebuyers, because they offer down payment assistance options and greater loan to value ratios than conventional loans do. These benefits come at the cost of having private mortgage insurance to reduce the lender’s risk for offering more money to help the borrower make the purchase.
The changes in the mortgage insurance rates essentially mean borrowers will be paying a slightly higher premium for FHA loans. This higher premium will be felt both up front and monthly over the life of the Read More→

Affiliated featured agent Alicia MacPhee on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio, talking about foreclosures and the real estate market
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Our featured agent Alicia MacPhee was recently interviewed on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Alicia talked about foreclosures in general, our wonderful Brownstone opportunities and her experiences as a Realtor in the Atlanta market. You can hear the interview above. It is about ten minutes long and perfect for hearing the experienced voice of our agent.
Alicia starts by talking about her time as an agent and broker in Atlanta for over 20 years. She has become a foreclosure specialist and has been involved in ten thousand home transactions. As an expert, she says that first time homebuyers should buy now because inventory levels are down, more buyers are on market, interest rates are incredibly low and prices are still very competitive. In short, the economic climate is perfect for buyers. Alicia also points out that buyers who want to purchase a foreclosure should know that Georgia is a “buyer beware” state, so serious buyers should consult a real estate agent when shopping the market to get the best deals and make sure they are protected by an expert.
