Labor Day Weekend for a Working Realtor

Labor Day Weekend

Holidays are always busy times in the real estate business.  The weekend starts out slow as people go about their planned activities. 

Then momentum picks up as travelers return home from lake houses or the beach, the big game is over or people just plain get bored.

This Labor Day was no different than others. 

Saturday morning Labor Day Weekend Activities for a working real estate agent in Atlanta (30345 zip code)

1. Met a brick contractor at a listing I have under contract and in due diligence phase.  Got a bid for some corrective brick work where movement in a foundation corner has caused the brick to pull away from the house.  Large diagonal cracks in the brick work in this area.
2. Listed a house for sale at 3651 Winbrooke Lane tucker Georgia 30084.  I had previously met the owner and obtained the paperwork for the listing.  Saturday morning I entered the listing in FMLS.  Tim went over and put up a sign and took photos.
