Things to Keep in Mind When Looking at Intown Atlanta Condos

Atlanta Intown Condos

Living in an Intown Atlanta condo has its advantages. They include being close to business and entertainment opportunities, access to excellent amenities, stunning views of the city and low-maintenance living. But before you start looking for the Atlanta condo of your dreams, it is important to keep a few things in mind.

  1. Find Out About The Homeowners Association

Most condo buildings are managed by a homeowners association that decides everything from what kind of landscaping to add to the outside of the building to whether or not you can have a grill on your balcony. If you like a unit or a building, find out what the homeowners association’s rules are and whether you are okay with them or whether they are too rigid for your tastes.

  1. Work With a Real Estate Agent Who Specializes in Condos

Selling an Intown condo is a little different than selling a single-family home in the suburbs, so you will want to find an agent who specializes or has experience in this area. Many of our agents specialize in condos or  represent a particular building. These agents will be the most helpful when you have specific questions.

  1. Get Prequalified

Like when buying any other type of housing, your chances of buying the unit you want increase when you are prequalified for a loan. A prequalification letter can make your offer stand out above the rest in a competitive market. It will also help and your agent know for sure just how much condo you can afford.

  1. Narrow Down Your Search

Years ago, you only found a few condo buildings Intown, but today they are all over the city and even far out in the sprawling Metro Atlanta area. Narrow your options down by zip code, Intown neighborhood or proximity to your office, school and other important locations.

  1. Make a List of Must-Haves

Like with any other type of housing, you will want to present your real estate agent with a list of features you must have, including a number of bedrooms and bathrooms and price range. However, with condos, you might have a few additional decisions to make. Do you want to live on a top floor or are you more comfortable below? Do you prefer a building with luxurious amenities like a heated pool and 24-hour gym and spa? Some condo buildings have restaurants and other businesses on their lower levels — is this important to you?
