Annette Mbatia, North Atlanta RealtorAnnette Mbatia

KELLER WILLIAMS NORTH ATLANTA

Educate first, listen carefully, and advocate fiercely.

For me, real estate has never been only about buying and selling homes. It is about people, relationships, community, and helping families make decisions that can shape their lives for generations.

I enjoy supporting community events, connecting people with resources, encouraging women and families, supporting local businesses, and using my platform to bring people together.

“I would rather build a long-term relationship than chase a short-term transaction.”

A SMARTER NEXT STEP

Guidance for your move.

01 / BUYING

Your approval isn't your budget.

Start with a comfortable monthly cost. Include taxes, insurance, HOA dues, upkeep, and room for the life you enjoy after closing.

My buyer checklist
  • Choose a monthly comfort range before a price range.
  • Discuss financing and cash needed with your lender.
  • Compare total ownership costs across homes.
  • Review condition, disclosures and inspection findings.
  • Build an offer around the home's value and your priorities.
02 / SELLING

Presentation meets strategy.

A strong sale starts with understanding competing homes, preparing yours thoughtfully, and choosing a pricing strategy grounded in the market.

My seller checklist
  • Review recent comparable sales and active competition.
  • Prioritize repairs and presentation with a purpose.
  • Plan photography and a clear marketing story.
  • Evaluate offers beyond the headline price.
  • Adjust using buyer feedback and showing activity.
03 / NEW CONSTRUCTION

Look beyond the model home.

Compare the finished cost, lot, delivery timeline, and contract terms. Beautiful finishes are only one part of the decision.

My new-build checklist
  • Confirm what the advertised price includes.
  • Compare upgrade, lot and closing costs.
  • Review incentives and any lender conditions.
  • Understand deadlines, warranties and inspection options.
  • Discuss representation before your first builder visit.
