Just so you will know the love I have for the real estate business and more particularily an Atlanta southside expert here is a little background and lifestyle experience. I am a Georgia State University Graduate in Industrial Psychology; relocated from Southwest Atlanta to Fayette County in 1974 when State Road Ga 85 was a 2-lane highway from the former Atlanta Airport - now Atlanta Hartsfield International. I raised my 3 sons in the Fayette County School System - now 2 are builders on the Panhandle in Florida - or should I say they were custom builders but are specializing in renovations and hurricane stabilization programs today due to the real estate economy. My youngest was a very dedicated soccer player receiving a college scholarship and a graduate from Georgia Southern University. My 5th grandson was born this January, 2010. My late husband and I owned a custom building company and the boys were raised with home construction, sales and marketing as a part of their daily lives. This gave me the experience and personal knowledge of all of the new home communities from the planned golf course neighborhoods in Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Newnan and McDonough to the retirement cluster neighborhoods for those couples and individuals looking to prop up their feet - relax, enjoy miles of cart paths or just the flexibility to travel. As Coweta County began expanding and developing very affordable neighborhoods from golf communities of White Oak, Canongate, Arbor Springs and newly developed Summergrove, many families have helped create some beautiful planned shopping sites, theaters and a unlimited selection of restaurants. All within close commuting of downtown or even further northside corportate headquaters with the outer perimeter access. Coweta County offers Schools of Excellence at Northgate High School and others.With the current economic correction in the real estate market, I have specialized as a distressed property marketing professional with sellers experiencing short sales and assisting investors purchasing foreclosures for their financial portfolios. I too have made some wise foreclosure purchases to rehabilitate my investment portfolio. I personally assist my investor customers with inspectors, appraisers. and various sub-contractors plus tenant qualifications. As the real estate market has adjusted - so have I as a full time Real Estate Professional in evaluations for relocating families, first time buyers and move up family purchases - now elegible for either an $8000 or a $6500 tax credit for contracts accepted prior to April 30, 2010 and closed by June 30, 2010. Don't wait another moment - visit me at my website www.patsopp.com or contact me by E-mail at patsopp@bellsouth.net to begin your real estate search in any of the fine neighborhoods in the Atlanta market area. I will look forward to introducing you to a real Southern experience with gracious and rewarding service for all of my customers!! Place your trust with a knowledgable professional!!
