about Phil . . ._

My family and I have lived in the Atlanta area for over 35 years. My first
home was in Tucker and back then, all my friends all thought I was nuts
to move so far out from town. I've since owned homes in North Fulton, in
an area off Hwy 141, what is now called Johns Creek. Back then, this
area had more horse and cattle farms than subdivisions. Today, I own a
great home on Lake Lanier, where my family and I enjoy  boating, water
skiing and fishing. I have many good friends throughout the North
Atlanta area and most all agree that they couldn't imagine living
anywhere else.

Fortunately, every home investment I've made in this area has nearly
doubled in value. That is a story that many other homeowners can claim
here as well. Over the years, there are few investments that can be
considered as good as real estate. Of course like every other
investment, there are up and down periods in the market. Smart
investors welcome those down periods as buying opportunities and wait
for the up periods to cash in on profits.

My background is primarily in sales and marketing, but I'm also
experienced in construction and remodeling. Real Estate seemed to be
a perfect match for me.  Like every other occupation, you would hope
that your sales associate has a very wide range of product knowledge
and I certainly feel fortunate to be able to draw on this large package of
experience with my clients nearly everyday.

I also have a great team behind me at South Realty. If you check
around, most refer to us as the "nicest folks in the business".  It is our
philosophy to always try to do the right things for our clients and by the
time we complete a transaction, most clients feel more like close friends.

Please feel free to
contact me anytime.  I look forward to the opportunity
to show you what South Realty has to offer.  If you're in the area, we
hope that you might stop in to say hello sometime.  
  . . . Be sure and ask for Phil.

If you are considering SELLING your home
Give me a call to set up an appointment for a free, no obligation consultation on marketing
your property.  I can provide you with information on current and recently sold homes in your
area, as well as tips on preparing your home for maximum value and a quick sale.
You will find that I don’t just list your home on the FMLS and set up a for sale sign. I try to
come up with a marketing strategy, a scheduled plan of action; I keep you informed on all
activity, client feedback and overall, work very hard to make sure you get the desired result.
Be sure to browse through my
"Selling Info" page for more on what South Realty has to offer.

If you or a friend is considering BUYING a new home
Representing you as a buyer’s agent, I can help you find a home that best suits your needs
and will negotiate and advise for the best possible price and terms.  
A buyer's agent works
at
no cost to the buyer. A specific commission is negotiated in advance and paid by the
seller.  That same commission amount is most always paid regardless if a buyer's agent is
involved or not. The difference is that the seller's agent is bound by the listing agreement to
work on behalf of the seller's best interests.  Be sure and click the "
Buying" tab for more info.

If I can assist you in any way, please don’t hesitate to call or drop me an email.  

I look forward to hearing from you and hope to
have the opportunity to work with you in the future.
