Guidebooks Now Available For The 2008 Regional Parade of Homes

The 2008 Atlanta Regional Parade of Homes will run April 19-20 and April 26 –27 from11am-5pm on Saturday and 1-5pam on Sunday. Guidebooks are now available for planning a Parade route and are free for pick up at a variety of locations. This is a unique opportunity for prospective homebuyers to tour more than 100 homes across 11 regional counties featuring builders from four different local homebuilders associations.

“The 2008 Regional Parade of Homes is the best way for homeowners to shop for a builder and get ideas for a new home,” said Sandy Boda, Executive Officer of the HBA of Midwest Georgia. “Instead of looking at photos on the Internet or in a real estate book, they can actually see first-hand the work of over 100 of the best builders in the region.”

For local area residents, Guidebooks can be picked up at the Newnan & Peachtree City offices of Keller Williams, the Re/Max Around Atlanta Results office in Peachtree City, the Jan Trammell Real Estate office in Fayetteville, the Dora Cox Realty in Barnesville and the Bank of Georgia branches in Fayette and Coweta County. Guidebooks are also available in the Coweta County Visitor’s Center, the SunTrust branches in Publix Supermarkets, Summit Family YMCA in Newnan, the HBA office as well as in the individual homes on the Parade.

The 2008 Parade of Homes Guidebooks feature information on all of the 100+ homes on the tour including descriptions and photos or illustrations of each project, the name of the development and pricing information. Also in each Guidebook are directions to aid Parade goers with planning their route. Of special interest are the five builders showcasing homes or developments in Fayette and Coweta County. Area residents can find these builders in the Guidebook as well and plan their route accordingly.

Forestar Real Estate Group will be showcasing a development in Fox Hall in Senoia and will serve refreshments along with presenting renderings and plans. J&E Builders will feature a craftsman-style home in Hammock Ridge in Newnan. Martin Homes will have a home in The Estates at Persimmon Creek in Sharpsburg. Mike Kruse Contractors, Inc will feature a home in Heron’s Landing in Fayetteville and Trademark Builders, Inc will showcase a home in Brasch Park in Grantville.
