Atlanta Townhome Master On Main


A master on main property is a high demand kind of residential property and even a bit harder to come by when you are looking for a townhome with a master on main due to the usual 2 to 3 levels and the fact that the main level usually does not have the space for a master bedroom and bath.

I wanted to put together a resource so you as a buyer, can take a look at Atlanta Townhomes with master on main. These are listed as the City of Atlanta, but may include other cities as well such as Sandy Springs and Decatur.



If you are more interested in a master on main townhome and are not necessarily only looking in the City of Atlanta, here is an additional resource to look at all properties listed currently in the Georgia MLS that are listed as master on main. This will include Homes, Townhomes and Condos in the North Atlanta Cities of GA.

Milton Georgia Is One Of America'sSafest Cities


 Milton Georgia has been named one of the safest cities in the USA for the second year in a row! Milton ranks 3rd, according to Home Security expert “Safewise” out of the 50 safest cities in Georgia with populations over 5,000. The company bases its ranking on findings from the FBI’s “crime in the US” report. Milton was one of just three Georgia cities to make the national list.

As a resident of Milton, this list confirms what I have always known about the area. With beautiful, rolling hills, alongside horse farms and wooded country estates, the area continues to grow in popularity for people seeking a restful respite from the city traffic. Couple that with some of the best public schools in the state and a fabulous infrastructure of parks and recreation, it’s a wonderful area that thrives.

For Your Preview, here are a few Milton GA Resources:

Living Under A Rock In Atlanta?

If you live anywhere near Atlanta Georgia and you do not know anything about what this winter Georgia snow storm of 2014 has done to shut things down around here in Atlanta, then you must be living under a rock.


This snow storm hit us on 1.28.2014 just before Lunch and due to the fact that no one wanted to be stranded at work, we all got out on the roads from schools, to City workers, to employees that could leave at their leisure.


Need I say, not only was the issue slippery roads but all of Atlanta out on them. My son was in traffic for 8 hours just to drive a few miles and as I speak, some are still out on the roads in their car with no gas or cars left empty for a toe truck to remove it.

Here are just a few pics that I took while this winter storm of 2014 passed through Atlanta and the Cities North and South.


As the sun continues to shine the day after on this Wednesday 1.29.14, I hope that all people of Georgia are warm and dry and waiting for the sun to melt away the snow and slick icy roads. For those still some-what stranded, remember, this will pass and Spring is only 49 days away from today.

What Is The Difference Between A Mortgage Broker And A Banker???

People often ask us what the difference is between a Mortgage broker and a banker. I, Max Kallos, thought it would be helpful to differentiate.

Bank – a bank is a direct lending institution and funds its own loans. In layman’s terms the bank is the one lending the money…it is their money. The bank directly underwrites and approves loans and then sends their money to the closing attorneys office for your closing.

Broker – a broker doesn’t work for a bank however has relationships (legal contracts) with multiple banks OR lending institutions. Our company, for example, has relationships with about 20 banks/lending institutions. Some of these relationships are with banks you’ve heard of like Suntrust, 5th 3rd, etc. And some are with smaller privately held companies you may not have heard of. The banks solicit us. They want us sending them loans. As we are not bank employees they are not paying us a salary or benefits, they aren’t renting us office space, etc. For the banks there is no overhead. If we send them business it is almost all profit margin. These banks still underwrite the loans and send their money to closing. The main difference here is the money AND the underwriting is not ours (the Broker).


So why use a broker if we’re just going back to banks anyway? And is there an added “middle man” fee to use a broker? Here's a great reason to use a broker…we have access to multiple banks. Just because Suntrust rates are the best at 10 AM doesn’t mean they’ll be the best at 2 PM. We have the ability to shop multiple banks and use the banks that price right AND can close loans on time. Both of those items are key when buying a new home. What about the “middle man” fee? It’s actually quite the opposite! Most banks actually give us BETTER fees and rates than their in-house employees! Why? Because we’re not employees! There’s no overhead. No office space, salaries, health benefits, etc.

A good broker closes loans on time AND has great pricing! Always get a quote to be competitive and ask questions!
