What Recession?
It’s been three weeks now since I reopened “The Connie Carlson Team” and I have to admit that there is plenty of business out there. My most recent, and exciting adventure, has been with a builder from Atlanta. I am thrilled to announce that we are going to start building homes again. Yes, that’s right. Dust off your hammers, bring out the “How to build a house” instruction manual. It is time, once again to start building.
My clients, Trevor and Ian, spent last week assessing the viability of building in West Cobb County. We looked at homes sold and the current inventory in the Harrison High School district. What we found was that in the last twelve months 78 new construction homes have sold priced between $300k and $499k. There are only 30 new construction homes currently available. What that means is that in a few months we are going to out of new homes.
It is my opinion that the American public still holds the dream of owning a ‘new’ home. That people still want to choose the cabinets, countertops, carpet, paint colors, etc…. After considerable research, we have determined that the West Cobb area is primed for some new homes. We will be building a product superior to anything currently on the market. We will have higher ceilings, higher doors, upgraded exteriors, deep wooded lots, and gourmet kitchen upgrades. All for under $500,000!!!
Keep tuned for more information about the new homes at Scott Farms in West Cobb County. We expect to be under construction within the month. Of course, we have special incentives for preconstruction. Call me today to find out how to take advantage of the best lots and upgrades.
Isn’t it time to get what you want?

East Cobb New Construction Near Mount Paran Church
About a year ago I had the good fortune to meet Tim Brown of Carter Bell Properties. Tim has an impressive resume of working land deals and assisting banks with the disposition of their real estate assets. Tim recently joined Keller Williams Realty in the Peachtree Road office.
Tim and I are going to be working together to help a local Marietta based bank. I have been charged with selling the Cobb County assets. I currently have three subdivisions including Hartridge Manor in Powder Springs (across the street from Smitha Middle School), Cheshire Manor (on Sandy Springs Road in East Cobb) and two beautiful homes on Allgood Road.
I am spotlighting 1961 Allgood Road, Marietta, Georgia in this blog. This new construction home has 4 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms. It is loaded with upgrades including hardwood floors, granite, upgraded mouldings, and a master on the main level. My favorite feature of this property is the amazing backyard. Check out the trees! I can just imagine grilling out in that backyard while my family runs around playing tag.
Keep warm!

My Big Announcement
Walking the Walk..
When I was deciding which real estate company to join six years ago, one of the aspects of Keller Williams that appealed to me was that Keller Williams is not shy about sharing its value system of God, Family, and then Business. Time and time again, I have been humbled by the agents in our company and their commitment to the most important things in life – their faith and their family.
Recently, I have been giving a lot of thought to what is most important to me. I have always struggled with what Gary Keller calls the “Big Why”. What really motivates me? I came to realize that the most important thing to me is that my family is happy. I know that isn’t very profound or complex and I know that there will probably never be a KW Connect video on my “Big Why”. But that is truly what it is most important. The word “happy” seems to sum up so many aspects of life. It means that we are free from financial stress, we are healthy, my children are given what they need to be successful and happy in life, and that we spend quality time together – a life with no regrets.
These last two years I have poured my heart and soul into helping the agents at KW Atlanta Perimeter have a great real estate career and business. It has been so rewarding for me to help others achieve their goals and to watch the energy and talents of our agents go to a higher level. But there is no denying that it is a “big” job. And unfortunately, my commitment to my career was starting to put a lot of strain on my family as they tried to graciously support me.
As a Team Leader we are expected to be good role models. I realized that as a role model, I needed to “walk the walk” and live by the KW Value system of God, Family, then Business. I have, therefore, made the decision to step down as Team Leader so that I can focus on my family. I have two middle-school aged children and although they would never admit it – they need their Mom a bit more that I have been able to give to them lately. (Check out the attached "Big Why" video that I made to remind me every day of what it is all about - BE SURE TO TURN THE MUSIC OFF ON THE PLAYLIST TO THE RIGHT)
As I mentioned in the team meeting this morning, Mo Anderson says that “When your vision is clear, decisions are easy”. My vision is now clear - but this was definitely not an easy decision. But I know in my heart that it is the right one.
I want you to know that I have no regrets with my decision to come to KW Dunwoody as a Team Leader. It has been a tremendous honor to work alongside each and every one of you. I have made some lasting friendships and no one can ever take away from me the joy that this position has brought into my life. I am truly blessed.
I want to thank everyone for the amazing support and encouragement that I received today. This office and this Company is a special place. I am honored to be a Keller Williams agent.
With love,
Connie Carlson

Farming Does Work - A Testimonial
I just received a touching call from a client of mine whose house is finally under contract. She is packing up her household of 25 years, throwing out, giving away, etc. etc. promising never to become a packrat again. Well, one of the items she ran across was the very first newsletter that I mailed her in 2002!!!! My first listing was in her neighborhood, and just after it sold I had started writing a newsletter and farming her neighborhood.
Over 3 years ago she called me to enter into discussions about selling her house - and it took 3 years for her to be mentally prepared to sell it and to get it "show ready" in order to list it.
Anyway, I am very touched that she kept my newsletter for 7 years and excited that I am able to help her move on to meet her new life goals.
So, yes, farming does work! And I thought this might be encouraging to others in the office.

My Big Why
Today we had our Business Planning Workshop. This workshop is designed to help agents figure out what they need to do in order to achieve their business, financial, personal, spiritual, and family goals.
Following the MREA (Millionaire Real Estate Agent www.millionairesystems.com) we have learned to follow the models and systems of those who have gone before us.
When we look at successful agents we find that they were powered by a "Big Why". The Big Why is the underlying reason that motivates you to do what you do each day. This concept can be hard to grasp and even harder to put down in words as it relates to your own life.
So what does a life worth living look like to you? Take a moment to think about what motivates you to get out of bed every day?
Try this exercise.
1. On a piece of paper write down what you want to make in the next twelve months.
2. Take out your checkbook and write yourself a check for that amount. Then write 11 more, one for each month of the year.
3. If you had that much money to spend every month what would you buy? Write it out. What would you buy this month. Next month... the next month....
4. At some point you realize that you have everything you need and want. Now what would you do?
5. What do you want to be known for?
All of this plays a part in your Big Why.
Today, a group of agents explored what it was that truly motivates them. Watch this video to see their desires. Don't miss the BIG FINISH as the end!
So my question to you is "What is your Big Why?"
