Alpharetta Real Estate Homes for Sale

I’ve said here before that I really don’t care for virtual tours.  It is so tedious to watch still photographs zoom in and out to muzak.

In an effort to find something better, I was recently introduced to PicLens.  Now THIS is the way to display photos of homes for sale.

I’ve been working on a demo; CLICK HERE to see it and I’d really appreciate your feedback.  Be sure to click on the "Start Awesome 3D Slide Show" link.  You might want to download the plug in from the PicLens website, but it should work just fine if your browser already has a Flash plug-in. 

Is this a better way to view photos?  I think so, but it is all about you, the user, so please let me know.

These pictures are of a house in The Shoals at Arbor Hill.  The house is one of those that is on the "sleeper market."  The owner would like to sell it but it is not on the active market.  Therefore, I just take the opportunity to introduce it to my clients who are interested in The Shoals, a great Chatham-built neighborhood in East Cherokee with multi-acre lots and horses allowed, and million dollar homes.

In my opinion, this particular home is a better value than others currently on the market; it has a better lot and it has a new $22,000 well for both water use inside and irrigation outside.  But, of course, you wouldn’t know that unless you called me ;->

By the way, I also have one of the few remaining lots for sale in The Shoals.  It is probably in the top three if not the best lot in the neighborhood.  It is 3.5 acres with a small lake on the back.  There is a gentle slope that would allow for a great terrace level and the lot is almost all hardwoods.  $289,000, but make an offer if you are interested.

Back to Piclens.  If you like this, please let me know.  If you are interested in how I can do this for the marketing of your home, please give me a call.  A listing agent’s job is to inform the market about your home for sale and that includes pictures, the more the better.  I think this is a better way to inform the buyer!
