Find a Home

Now the fun begins!—the part you’ve been waiting for. It’s time to shop for a home!

Make a List of Needs and Wants

First, make a list of things you must have in a home and things that you would like to have in a home. This ensures that you look only at homes that actually fit your criteria. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of time looking through homes that don’t fit your criteria, which can add frustration to your search.

Take Lots of Notes

Make sure to take plenty of notes as you look at homes. You’d be surprised how all of the homes start to blur together after you’ve seen a few, and your notes will come in handy when it’s time to narrow down “The One.”

Evaluate the Neighborhood

You should also evaluate the neighborhoods where your favorite homes are located. Go during the day as well as after dark. If you can, talk to some of the neighbors. Drive to work from the home and see if the daily commute will work for you.

Words of Praise

Mark helped relocate my family to West Cobb three years ago from Tennessee. He was instrumental in helping us select the best area of Atlanta for my family’s needs and desires.

Mark was a former contractor, so he has expertise in helping you determine how much remodeling costs will be when thinking of buying a house and making some changes to either the interior or exterior. This was very helpful as Mark guided us through the decision making process of which house to buy for our family.

Mark was very patient with us and typed up multiple offers for us. To be honest, he did more for us than most Realtors® ever would have. He has stayed in touch the last three years and made recommendations on carpenters, electricians, and so forth for projects with our new house, too! All in all, he is a complete realty professional that I would recommend 100%.

We met with Mark Naffzinger on a Saturday. His presentation of market analysis was very detailed. Mark suggested a listing price and we agreed. Mark came by on Monday to take pictures and the pictures were online with numerous listing services by Tuesday. We had a full price offer for our home before the end of the week! Considering the depressed housing market in GA, we were truly amazed. Mark was in constant contact with us during the weeks leading to closing – home inspection, termite inspection, and appraisal. Naffziger Realty Consultants is the best.

Mark and Ellen were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. From staging our home, suggested pricing, negotiations as we received offers, and especially working through the due diligence issues that arose. Mark’s previous experience as a home contractor provided valuable insight in understanding and responding to the buyer’s home inspection report and demands. This team is very prepared and professional.

This is the second time we have used Mark Naffziger as our Realtor®. His prior experience in the construction industry, real estate knowledge, and professionalism far exceeds any other agent we have ever used. (This was our 5th move.)

We can’t say enough to describe the fine job Mark did for us. His skills in keeping the process moving along while protecting our interests was outstanding. We believe he helped the buyer toward a contract that was acceptable. He did a great job keeping us informed on a timely basis. We could not expect to find anyone who would be better to work with.

Mark Naffziger was phenomenal to work with! He is very professional and personable. His knowledge and guidance led us to the perfect home in a wonderful neighborhood. I recommend Mark to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. Not only is Mark phenomenal, but his office staff is as well.

Naffziger Realty is by far the best in the real estate business! I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in buying or selling a home. Mark and Ellen take the time to get to know you and listen to you. I could contact them day or night and they were always willing to answer any questions.
