If We're Annapolis Realtors, Then Why On Earth Are We Selling This Home in Alpharetta, Georgia?
April 22nd, 2009 Categories: Real Estate News, Sellers
Well, We Aren’t, Really. But One of Our Clients Is, So We Thought We’d Give Her Home a Little Plug. Besides, It’s Not Everyday We Get to Show You a Home That’s So Gorgeous It’s Been Featured in Several Magazines
So, just in case you or someone you know is moving to the Atlanta area, pay attention – here’s a home that’s eye-poppingly pretty.
The address is 400 Autry Ridge Point, in Alpharetta, within a subdivision called The Falls of Autry Mill, a swim-tennis community. It’s close to all the major highways you’d need to access.
Our client tells us that the community has a clubhouse, lake, 2 swimming pools, 12 lighted tennis courts, and a tennis pro - apparently, they’re serious about their tennis around here. The subdivision has 500 homes, and – she says – there are great schools nearby.
As for the home, I’ll let the virtual tour - one of best one I’ve ever seen – tell the story. I, for one, fell in love with the kitchen. It’s a regular beauty pageant of ultra high-end appliances and finishes, including German-made cabinetry and black honed granite countertops. Really incredible.
Did I mention the home’s heated pool with tanning area and 8-person spa?
If you’d like additional information, email me at kenhaedrich@gmail.com and I’ll send it right along.

We’ve Just Listed This Waterfront Home in Annapolis. Tell Us Where It Is, and We’ll Send You a Gift
Fridays are for fun on this blog, and since it’s been a while since we’ve had a Fun Friday post we’re going to make this one extra-special.
So here’s the deal: look closely at the photo above, taken from the garden of our new listing. Now, do a little research and figure out where it is.
If you’re one of the first 3 people to email me with the address of the property, I’ll send you a gift card for $10 to one of three great new Annapolis restaurants at the new Annapolis Towne Centre – Brio, P.F. Chang’s or Gordon Biersch – courtesy of us, The Moss Haedrich Team of Keller Williams.
Email your response to kenhaedrich@gmail.com along with your name and phone number. If you’re one of the lucky ones I’ll call and let you know.
Here’s a clue: the home is listed for more than a million, but less than $2 million. Hope that helps. Have fun.

Who Reads This Blog Besides You? A Revealing Look at the Visitors to AnnapolisHomeDigest.com
April 3rd, 2009 Categories: Buyers, Fun Fridays, Real Estate News, Sellers
In Case You’ve Been Wondering Who You Are, I Have Some Answers
I imagine it’s the same with other bloggers, but I find it quite interesting – and instructive – to keep track of who is reading this blog and what you’re reading. For one thing, it helps me figure out what sort of information you want more of. (Just for the record, that’s a generic WHO – other than subscribers, I can’t tell who you are.)
So I make it my business to keep track of what pages you’re landing on when you come here, and the search terms you use to arrive. Often there’s little surprise – blogging about particular neighborhoods, like South River Colony, always gets lots of traffic. And sometimes, plenty of surprise: I still can’t figure out how the person who Googled “sock monkeys for sale in Target” ended up here, but they did.
You Like To Search For Annapolis Area Homes and You’re Smitten With the Fifty Dollar House
Many of you land directly on the home search page of the site, which tells me you’ve probably bookmarked that page for convenience. I’m glad you’re looking, because now’s a great time to buy. Is there a home we can show you?
A ton of you have been searching for news about the Fifty Dollar House, which, sadly, you did not win. Somebody else did, and we’re selling the home for her. Perhaps you’d like to buy it?
When I do a post about home sales statistics for the Annapolis area, that draws a lot of interest, too – I need to do more posts like this – as well as posts on subjects related to the Naval Academy. A number of you used the search term “Plebes no more,” a reference to one long-standing Academy tradition.
Search terms about home staging bring regular traffic because I’ve written about it often. Some people end up here by searching for our team stager, Linda Donnelly - the best in the business. When you use her services to get your home looking perfect, we reimburse you at settlement.
More than a few of you are using search terms like ”trustworthy agent” or “untrustworthy agents” and you’re finding us that way since I published this story. Apparently, finding an agent you can trust is in the forefront of your mind, and it’s a good thing.
I’m afraid I must have disappointed the people who ended up here after searching for “math’s chalkboard”, “new home digest” and “bad stockbrokers.” Google must have been having a bad night when these poor souls were directed this way.
You Like a Good Laugh…
…which explains why some of you are searching for bad MLS photos. We have some doozies.
Not surprisingly, lots of you found us by searching for Keller Williams Annapolis or Keller Williams Culture, our culture – we believe – being one of the things that sets us apart as a company.
I can’t tell who you are, specifically – but I can often tell where you work. Some of you are affiliated with institutions of higher learning, which makes me think we attract a smart crowd. I like that.
And many of you work for large government entities. I won’t say which ones, because if you’re reading this blog instead of delivering mail, eavesdropping on bad guys or searching for cures to nasty infectious diseases, that’s between you and your boss.
As for the person who just yesterday typed “do you like living in Annapolis” into the Google search engine, I – for one – love it.
