“We have sold 10 homes in the past two weeks bringing The Astoria to nearly the 50-percent sold mark,” Pauline Miller, with Keller Williams BRIGHTSTAR, said. “This celebration is our way of saying thanks and giving back to all the agents who made this possible.”

From noon to 3 p.m., guests will be able to preview the model pent homes, mingle and sip champagne and snack on tasty treats from CamiCakes, a local Buckhead shop. Every 15 minutes, $100 will be given away and winners will be announced on Facebook and Twitter.

In addition, The Astoria will also be donating money to KW Cares. For every agent that attends, $10 will be donated and for the office with the most attendees, $500 will be given in their honor.  KW Cares provides humanitarian support for the associates and immediate families of Keller Williams Realty facing hardships through sudden emergencies.

The Brookwood model is a four-story home with an incredible master suite that takes up the entire fourth level and features an oversized walk-in closet. There is even a finished attic area for storage space. An open living area on the second level features a kitchen, breakfast area, dining room and family room.

The Chastain model is a three-story home with a flex/office space on the first level for buyers to customize. There is also an open family room that leads into the kitchen and breakfast area, with access to a spacious deck.

These model homes, along with every home in the community, feature two-car garages, large decks and luxurious interiors. Buyers will love having hardwood floors in the kitchen as well as the dining, family and powder rooms. Each home also includes a gourmet kitchen with maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.

The couple, along with their two children, didn’t have to search for very long before they found something that met their needs. With The Astoria’s reduced prices, the couple was able to combine two units into one 3,800-square-foot space. And thanks to the amenities of the community, everyone felt more excited and relaxed about the move. These luxurious offerings include a state-of-the-art fitness center, lap pool, heated spa, club room with full catering kitchen, concierge service and more.

“All the things we gave up exist inside the building,” said Ribner. “And since this is a relatively small building with fewer than 70 residences, it won’t be mobbed. Those sort of things were important for us, moving kids into a building, to help them adapt.”

In addition to the amenities outside of the residence, the Ribners will enjoy interior features such as rich hardwood floors; spacious master suites; a gourmet kitchen with Viking Designer Series and Kohler appliances; a living room with an elegant fireplace; and marble-tiled baths with brushed nickel fixtures.

If you want access to all of these benefits, you can have them for an extremely low price. At The Astoria, one bedroom condominiums initially priced from the $400,000s have been reduced to the $200,000s, while two bedroom homes priced from the $700,000s are now being sold from the $400,000s. Penthouses priced from the $1 millions are also now available from the mid-$700,000s.

Many people dream of being in your shoes (or pajamas and bunny slippers) when you work from home. But would they envy you if disaster struck in the form of theft, fire or storm? They may not, because if you’re not thinking ahead, you may not be properly insured. You could lose everything in a moment.

The Equifax Personal Finance Blog recently posted, “Insuring a Home Office.”  Expert Linda Rey reports on research from the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America that says at least 60 percent of in-home entrepreneurs do not have full insurance.

If you do not run a full business from your home, you may be okay with your homeowner’s policy. Most will cover up to $2,500 in business property. However, they don’t usually provide liability coverage for business activities. If you don’t think $2,500 is enough, you may be able to add a Homeowner’s Policy Endorsement to your current policy. It will pick up the liability for the occasional business guest, plus it will cover extra equipment.

If that’s still not enough for you, Rey offers information on the most common small business policy, the Business Owner’s Policy or BOP. It covers major property and liability and can be tailored to your specific needs. An In-Home Business Policy offers more coverage for your equipment than your homeowner’s would provide, plus it will cover papers, off-site records and accounts receivable. If your home is damaged and your office cannot be used to a time, the policy may cover your losses.

Life working in your Intown Atlanta home is sweet, so make sure you don’t lose it. Visit the Equifax Personal Finance Blog for a list of items you may want to consider when you’re evaluating insurance for your home office.

The luxury high-rise tower is now home to Asset Preservation Advisors, Crescent Wealth Management, and the Law Firm of Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial. These firms represent over 80,000 square feet of new occupancy.

In addition to their recent commercial successes, Sovereign has also sold two of it’s residential properties, including one of the two luxury penthouses.

This luxury Buckhead condo features homes ranging in size from 1,700 square feet to over 10,000 square feet. You can expect to live in luxury at Sovereign with features including 10 to 14 foot ceilings, panoramic curtain walls, hardwood floors, natural stone, custom cabinetry and much more. Residents can also relax and enjoy a variety of amenities including a private skyline pool and spa, open air terrace with outdoor fireplace, fitness area, banquet rooms for hosting parties, and more. Located in the heart of Atlanta and surrounded by high-end shopping and dining, you couldn’t ask for a better location.

Sovereign’s commercial and residential successes come at a time when the economic trend has been empty commercial property, unsold homes and when Buckhead is seeing an all time high in vacant Class A retail space. Hopefully this is the beginning of the economic turn and we’ll see many more success stories similar to Sovereigns.
