Hello, my name is Steve Ladd. Thank you for visiting my Metro Atlanta real estate website. After experiencing years of growth, the Metro Atlanta real estate market has experienced a steep decline over the past 3 years. Many folks have lost their homes due to poor lending practices, the sluggish economy, and various other reasons. If you’ve read a newspaper, listened to the radio, or simply heard people talking at the grocery store, this is probably nothing new to you. What you might not have heard is that things are beginning to level off. Reports are suggesting that prices are neutralizing and inventory (the biggest controller of price) is showing a slight decline. This is great news for the future, especially if the market continues to improve. However, we are still looking at a very deliberate and lengthy climb back up for most of us. The truth is many homeowners will likely not ever get out of the red.

That is where I come in.   

For Metro Atlanta owners – there are options. You can sell now and perhaps bring money to closing (assuming the value is less than what is owed) or you can consider a short sale. For many property owners, the short sale is the best option. What is a short sale? I specialize in working with owners and their lenders to help conclude the sale of the property at an amount equal to the market value, regardless of what is owed. In many ways, this is a reset button for people to get their financial lives back on track. I can speak from personal experience. I sold my home as a short sale. My service and consultation cost you nothing. We can meet and discuss the possibilities as they apply to your personal situation. Contact Me.

For Metro Atlanta buyers – I am able to represent you in ANY type of real estate transaction. You will never pay my fee as that is covered by the seller or selling bank (REO, Short Sale). I have years of experience interpreting contracts, addenda, inspections, and valuations. In this market that experience is paramount. When buying a bank owned property, an agent must be able to explain the specific contracts used by the bank and ensure the buyer is one hundred percent protected. I will educate you and help you to make the best offer at the best terms possible. I am available 7 days a week to show you properties in the Metro Atlanta area. Contact me for an appointment.

Selling real estate is not a you and me process. Rather it is a we, us, together, and united process. My goal is to offer the best service possible. I wish there were a way to make that sound less generic, but that truly is the only way to put it. Here are a few kind words from some current clientele.

Let's get together to talk about your home buying and/or selling plans. Call me directly at (404) 307 0021 or send me an e-mail (sladd@StevenLadd.com), we'll set-up a time to meet that is easy and convenient for you.

I look forward to working with you!
