Marna Friedman - NW Metro Atlanta REALTOR
"Without change, there would be no butterflies."
Home buying and selling in North West Metro Atlanta is about more than transactions—it's about life transitions. As a top-producing real estate agent, I specialize in guiding clients through three specific situations where expert guidance makes the biggest difference:
New Construction Homes:
As a Certified New Home Sales Expert, I represent buyers through every stage of new construction purchases in metro Atlanta. Whether you're selecting a lot, choosing floor plans, or navigating builder negotiations, I protect your interests from selection through closing. I have deep knowledge of neighborhoods, builder quality, construction standards, and the unique considerations of new home purchases.
55+ Active Adult Community Living:
I've earned the Certified Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) and was a former professional organizer with a Staging Agent certification. I specialize in helping empty nesters and retirees transition to 55+ active adult communities throughout NW Metro Atlanta. More than just selling a home, I help with the entire downsizing journey—understanding community options, maximizing your equity, and creating excitement about this next chapter.
Single-Family Residences:
With extensive experience and certified luxury marketing credentials, I specialize in single-family homes across NW Metro Atlanta's premiere neighborhoods. My market expertise spans 40+ zip codes throughout Cobb County, Paulding County, Cherokee County, Forsyth County and Fulton County.
My Approach to Serving You
When You're Selling Your Home:
My marketing strategy combines traditional excellence with modern digital expertise. I create comprehensive marketing plans that include:
- Strategic pricing based on real market data and comparable sales analysis
- Multi-channel marketing using social media, targeted advertising, and strategic syndication
- Professional home staging and merchandising (backed by my professional organizing background)
- Regular market updates and transparent communication about your property's performance
- Expert negotiation to help you achieve the best possible outcome
When You're Buying Your Home:
Purchasing a home is often the most significant financial decision you'll make. I guide buyers through the entire process by:
- Understanding your specific needs, budget, timeline, and lifestyle preferences
- Identifying properties that match your criteria before they become widely available
- Conducting thorough property inspections and quality assessments
- Negotiating favorable terms and protecting your interests
- Managing all deadlines and requirements from contract through closing
