Intown Condos
With the recent explosion of new condominiums and condo conversions on the intown Atlanta market, it pays to work with an insider -- someone who recognizes true quality over mere glitz or space, understands resale values, and will keep your particular lifestyle in mind.In Midtown you have condo buildings side by side in exactly the same location but one may be asking $150 per square foot and the building next door may be asking $350 per square foot. If it is the same location then why the difference in price per square foot?
If you are looking for an condo intown, here are some of the criteria you should take into consideration:
Price range: intown condos range from $125,000 to $1,500,000+Age and significance of building:

Building Type: Townhouse/rowhouse or condo building
Ownership Type: Fee simple or condominium

Why I should be your Buyer's Agent:
All real estate agents are not created equal -- at least not in terms of the sales contract for your new home. If you go to one of the new Midtown condo developments, you'll find agents working in their sales office. These agents work for the developer, not for you. Their job is to sell you a unit in that building regardless of whether it is the best choice for you. However a buyer's agent works for you. As your buyer's agent, it is my job first to show you all the available listings that meet your needs to help you find the perfect fit, and then to protect your interests in the contractual negotiations for the purchase. I've been assisting intown condo buyers for more than 10 years. I know the market and I know the right questions to ask to make sure you get the home that you want at the best possible price and terms.
