Please let us know if you have questions or comments. Thanks for your attention!

Loft Building of the Week

Tribute Lofts overlooking the skyline of Atlanta is the Loft pick of the week. The building sits on a prime spot with amazing views of Atlanta. The building offers well designed lofts with polished concrete floors, high exposed ceilings, sleek Italian cabinets, stainless appliances and large spa like bathrooms.

The amenities in the building include a skylounge with salt water pool, fire pit and a great gym with fanatastic views to take your mind off your workout.

If you are looking for a great price on a very hot loft look no further.

Down Payment Assistance Via $8000 Tax Credit

More good news coming out of D.C. regarding putting a fire under the real estate market. The latest news is just what the doctor ordered for first time home buyers who are sitting on the sidelines because they don't have money available for the 3.5% down payment on an FHA loan.

The HUD secretary announced yesterday that first-time home buyers would have access to the tax credit funds when they close on their home so that the cash can be used as a down payment. This is possible by governmental agencies providing a short term bridge loan that would replace the tax credit, until the buyer receives their tax refunds.

This program was approved by the Legislature last month, but is temporarily delayed while they are working out an IRS rule issue.

All you folks who've been watching from the sidelines...now is the time to jump into the game (using Uncle Sam's money)!

Zip Lining From The Tree Tops

Who knew there was killer zip lining less that an hour from Atlanta? I didn't until about a week ago when I was checking out friend's Facebook posts and saw something about a zip line tour. When I googled zip lines + Georgia...Bannings Mill in Whitesberg Georgia. Less than 10 minutes later I was booked for the Flight Pattern Plus zip line tour for this past Saturday.

When we arrived, we met up with a cool group of folks we were going to be touring the treetops with. First thing, we climbed up about 4 stories to this platform where the guides instruct you on how not to fall to your death!!! I was the first to go in my group so I stepped onto this little plank where and I hurled yourself into the air. You actually get up to about 50 mph, soaring over trees, a river and other cool scenery. To get to the next zip line you have to climb/cross these tricky wire bridges that take you higher and deeper into the woods. Basically, your climbing through the forest like a monkey! The entire tour took about 2.5 hours and it was a ton of fun!!

Check out the website at http://www.historicbanningmills.com/canopy.html and call to make a reservation. The guide said during the week is the best time and hurry before school lets out.

Hot Atlanta Loft on Peachtree

We showed a really cool loft that is located in a building in the heart of Midtown. The loft had high gloss white floors with exposed brick and large window that overlooks downtown. You could walk to some great restaurants and shops.
