According to recent reports, the 20-county metro Atlanta area has had a tremendous drop in terms of real estate pricing. S&P Case-Shillernumbers has confirmed that from February 2011-February 2012 there was a 3.5 percent drop in prices–but that the year to year decline in its entirety is upwards of 17 percent. The Atlanta movers have also learned this is the largest drop in real estate valuation throughout the entire country.

While homes are continuing to sell, the Atlanta movers hope that this drop is simply a price adjustment to true value of homes versus an inflated market. We’ll follow the trends as the come over the next few weeks.

An Atlanta man, George Daylin Houser, has been convicted for conspiring to defraud the Medicare and Medicaid programs with his wife by billing them for “worthless services” in three nursing homes throughout July 2004-September 2007. For that period of time, Medicare and Medicaid paid Houser $32.9 million for food, medical care and other services that Houser did not provide to residents of his homes.The case is being investigated by the FBI.

Houser was also convicted for eight counts of failing to pay employees payroll taxes–over $800,000. He also failed to pay his own taxes in 2004 and 2005. The Atlanta movers are appalled at the actions that have taken place and at the attempts to take advantage of government programs that seek to help citizens who need financial aid and medical care.

Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport is one of the busiest airports in the world, and it’s about to get even busier. The amount of travelers expected to pass through the airport is ballparked at another 120 million passengers each year. Thankfully, a new terminal is underway that will facilitate the added travelers. The terminal, known as the Maynard H. Jackson Jr, International Terminal and will cost $1.5 billion.

Concourse F is the new terminal, and it will consist of 12 international gates as well as a new entry-exit for travelers. There will also be eight new security lanes to quicken the departure process for passengers traveling on international flights. The facility is named in honor of the first African-American lawyer. The Atlanta movers are excited for the new developments that will be coming to the airport.

The Atlanta movers are confident that this area has something to offer everyone. Come see for yourself why Atlanta is one of the most popular cities in America and also one of the most urban areas of the Southern United States.

The term “throwback” has been used quite a bit lately. It seems to be a hip concept that has been thrown around a lot and also utilized as a marketing ploy; the throwback technique aims to garner new business by using nostalgia to sell people on how great a product is. If you watch television on a regular basis, surely you have noticed TV commercials here and there that seem to have been produced fifteen or twenty years ago. Vintage style logos from yesteryear have graced cans of popular soft drinks, and even professional sports team jerseys to move the audiences that view them nation wide; and the throwback technique has definitely worked. The nostalgia concept in advertising has been used by more companies than you would believe recently, and it works so well likely because of how great things were years ago.

I must admit that the throwback ads are fun to watch, but this mover in Atlanta here feels that the throwback campaign shouldn’t stop at logos. For us, the same classic qualities that have always run deep in this Atlanta moving company have and will never change; old fashioned care will always be prominent characteristic of the relocation services in Atlanta we provide. So while the “throwback” memories and logos may be around only for a limited time in many cases, you can always count on your Georgia movers in Atlanta here to provide the same good ole’ throwback treatment that we always have; and that goes beyond the classic logo!

Listen up! Or read up, if you are selling your house then you could benefit from a bit of little-known information. Selling your house can be confusing if you don’t go through the motions involved very often. In efforts to make your house more attractive to prospective buyers, it is very common to renovate your home to give it a sparkling new feel that lookers will hopefully drool over as they scope out the place. You are selling your house. You’re already likely overwhelmed with information to the point where you essentially just close your eyes and trudge on, hoping for the best. It is sad, but many people looking to move out of their house as soon as possible fall prey to the labyrinth that is property ownership.
Home improvement is a great way to improve the quality of your life, and obviously a great catalyst for finally selling your home when you’re ready to move. However; as your property value increases, your property tax rises right along with it. You may be surprised to know (which is why your reliable Atlanta mover shares this useful information with you!) that something as minuscule as adding a new flower bed can be considered increased property value. You’re dealing with a double edged sword when considering improvements to your home to stimulate sale. Planting flowers is the least of your worries, your tax assessor is looking to raise property tax in any way that he can. If you want to move, and want to renovate your home to speed up the process, you’re likely to perform upgrades on your property which will require permits. Permits are something that your tax man can easily find through a little research, and finding these permits is his ticket to raising property taxes. This can actually be a detriment to you if you’re trying to sell your house to move in Atlanta. When you are selling your house to move locally, or to move long distance, you’ll have to inform potential buyers of the flaws of your property. Guess what! Flaws such as cracked foundation, leaky pipes or roofs, or any other blemishes or imperfections lower the value of your property and can be used in your favor to lower your property taxes! Be strategic! Your property taxes being lowered can attract buyers so that you can move to your dream home. Information of this nature is infinite, don’t hesitate to research. Saving money on your relocation services is easy too! Hire Atlanta professional movers with an excellent reputation and desire to satisfy your every moving need. I hope this information gets your head gears turning. Good luck on selling your house, and on moving to your new home in Atlanta!

When booking your upcoming Atlanta move, I recommend adding additional insurance coverage. Your Atlanta moving company is insured, but the rate is only at $.60 per pound per item. This rate is what is required by the state for moves. So in essence you may not receive replacement value for items damaged during the moving process. Additional insurance will save you unnecessary stress and strain.

In some instances your Atlanta mover will send a contractor out to your home to repair an item. However, if items are damaged beyond repair, full replacement value is what you want. Adding additional insurance to your move will allow you that freedom.
