'I'm here from downtown'

Alec Baldwin cracks me up, even when he's taken out of context. Here someone uses his movie lines to crank call a real estate agency. Painful!

Realtor's credo: Live, hope and pray

Real estate agents are having a tough time, and many are dropping out. Here are real estate blogger Mary Wozny's "12 Lovely Lyrics" to soothe the real estate agent's anxious heart.

Love like there’s no tomorrow.
Laugh out loud and often.
Listen to your soul.
Lighten up!
Lean on a friend - that’s what they live for.
Look for the good in all things and people.
Live the dream you thought of when you were a child.
Lose anger and resentment.
Linger after church.
Light candles at dinner.
Lend your smile ... it’s so amazing.
Launch your ideas with unstoppable force.

"Lose anger and resentment" -- I've got to remember that one!

Trulia's truths

Trulia is full of great real estate insights and intrigue. Just check out this Kirkwood map. Hell of a buyer's market.

Gays 'thankful' for Kirkwood

Southern Voice recently gave a nod to K-wood on its list of things to be thankful for:

7 (at least!) dilapidated neighborhoods rescued and refurbished by gays: — Midtown, Grant Park, East Atlanta Village, Kirkwood, East Point, Castleberry District, Glenwood Park … We could go on and on, but there’s a clear reason Atlanta real estate agents know their clients can follow the rainbow flags to the next up-and-coming neighborhood.
