Having lived in Atlanta my entire life, I can give you unique insight into Atlanta Real Estate opportunities from a true native's perspective. As a full-time REALTOR I can give your needs and wants my full attention.

I was born just outside Atlanta in the city of Roswell and have seen Atlanta change from a small town to a huge metropolitan area encompassing over 20 counties and more than 4 million people. This population explosion has resulted in a resurgence of many intown Atlanta neighborhoods previously left to decay. Many of these historic neighborhoods are now seeing a huge influx of residents looking to restore and reclaim areas such as Grant Park, Inman Park, East Lake, East Atlanta and the many other intown neighborhoods. As a matter of fact, many of these neighborhoods have already turned around and are true assets to the Atlanta area.

Downtown and Midtown Atlanta have also seen a huge turnaround in the past decade. Residents seeking to escape long commutes have flocked to the Atlanta core resulting in a huge demand for condos and town homes. This demand is being met by all the new construction that is happening on such projects as Atlantic Station, Plaza Midtown, Spire Midtown, Centennial Hill, and the Buckhead area.

However, there are also those looking to escape the city where the possibilities are almost endless. You can find truly gorgeous homes with lots of land in such outlying areas as Roswell, Alpharetta, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Marietta, Woodstock, Peachtree City, etc to name just a very few.

Finally, if you are looking to sell your home in the Atlanta area, make sure you hire someone who knows the area like me. I will put this website and all the other technological tools I have available to work for you. These tools coupled with an aggressive marketing plan and the support of my broker, Keller Williams - Peachtree Battle, will help your home sell quickly while trying to get the highest possible price. Check out the tab at the top of this page labeled Sellers to find out everything I can do for you.

Join more than 4 million people who call Atlanta home. What is the appeal? Atlantans will tell you their city combines classic small town Southern Hospitality with all the culture, sports and amenities of a 21st century international city. Let me be the REALTOR who helps you find your perfect home in this great city.

David Hudson - Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) / IT Professional /Marketing

As an IT Professional and MCSE, I provide technology resources and knowledge that most other agents don't have ready access to. In today's world of Internet based Real Estate, it is essential that REALTORS keep on top of the wave of technology. I provide the tools and expertise needed to not only help buyers and sellers, but to also help Michael respond as quickly as possible to any requests.

Having been in the IT Profession for over 10 years and supporting the IT needs of a REALTOR, I have great insight into the needs and wants of buyers and sellers. With over two-thirds of home buyers conducting their home search via the Internet, it is imperative that REALTORS have a huge understanding of technology and the tools available to them.

At ATL Agent, just a few of the tools we use include:

• Treo Phone - this gives immediate access to e-mail, as well as the ability to search for properties while on the go via the wireless capabilities of FMLS.
• Website - a highly useful website at www.atlagent.com with all the tools you will need to find your dream home. Our website also provides prime Internet exposure to your home when you sell. This website was built by me and can be updated at a moment's notice.
• Blog - Our blog at www.atlagentintown.com keeps you informed of New Developments around Atlanta
• Group Blog - Our other blog at www.homeinatl.com gives you tips, advice and other information about the Atlanta area.
• Listingware - Our Listings Search tool that lets you direclty search the FMLS system yourself. Listingware is one of the premier providers and provides a great searching product.
• Color Printer - for color printing of flyers, listing sheets, and anything else we might need without having to go to a printer.
• It Touch Today - a system to send out newsletters via the mail system to keep you up to date (and entertained)
• Sharper Agent - an automated e-mail system to help us keep in touch with you and keep you informed.
• Domain Names - we have secured some great domain names and will secure your address as a domain name when you list with us.
• Craigslist - We use craigslist.org (an online classifed system) to advertise properties and open houses.
• High Quality Digital SLR Camera - We realize that importance of good photos to showcase your home. A recent study by the National Association of Realtors revealed that 78 percent of Internet home searchers found photos very useful. Some people will even disregard listings without photos. With this in mind we have invested in a Nikon D40 with an Ultra Zoom Lens to showcase your home at it's best.
• Agent Database - We have accumulated a huge agent database so we can "blast" your property's flyer out to a big audience when your home is listed with us.
• Virtual Tours - Using Sharper Agent software, we are able to create a beautiful Virtual Tour of your property with it's own website address that you can give to your friends.

These are only a few of the technology tools we use. We are constantly looking to newer and better tools to make buying/selling a home as efficient and easy as possible.
