Apples to Apples

We work with a lot of folks who are relocating from other areas of the country.  And what we've found is one of the hardest concepts for people to grasp when relocating to Atlanta is this:

Atlanta real estate is different.

It's not that's it's different in any specific way.  It's just that real estate is a highly localized phenomenon.  What this means is that no two markets are alike.

So if you're coming in from the land of oranges and it's important to know your oranges are different than our apples. The first day you go out our apples are not going to look right. The second day we're going to be comparing apples to apples, and probably by the end of the day we'll pick the best apple out of the whole bunch for you.
