Buying Land and New Construction >Beware of Fat Clay

When building a home, you should have the soil on the construction site tested for plasticity to determine how it will change under different moisture conditions. This is important because some soil is so "plastic" that (if the condition is not corrected) it can actually break concrete floors, crack the walls and destroy the foundation of your home. Highly plastic soil is sometimes referred to as "fat clay" that swells excessively and loses stability when it becomes wet. Fine-grained soils that contain a high percentage of clay are greatly affected by water, turning to mud when it rains and undergoing large volume changes-sometimes up to 40 or 50 percent, as the soil dries. Not only do clays swell and lose stability when they become wet, but they also retard the drainage of water. If plastic soil is found on your building site, the ground must be over-excavated and replaced with clean gravel. Homebuilders often choose not to include a basement, or to protect the basement walls from excess moisture by surrounding them with a layer of gravel. A fine-grained clay-filled soil with a high plasticity index may require considerable treatment, especially if used in a moist location.

John and Linda Monroe, the top-selling husband and wife real estate sales team, have been honored as one of the 100 top-producing agent teams in metro Atlanta by being named to the COMMUNITIES Magazine Top 100 list. Known as the Monroe Team, the pair is based out of Prudential Georgia Realty’s South Cherokee Office, best known for covering the areas of Kennesaw, Acworth, Woodstock, Townelake, Marietta, Canton, South Cherokee County, and Cobb County. The team regularly makes the top 10 list with Prudential Atlanta/Georgia Realty and ranks in the top 1 percent of 43,000 Prudential agents nationwide, a placement that awarded them the Chairman’s Circle Diamond Award in 2001. The Monroe’s were also honored as top 100 Prudential Agents internationally.

The Monroe’s approach their real estate business by taking a very proactive, sincere attitude with all of their clients, from their recommendations about what has to be done to beautify the home, to pricing, to comments from other agents. John and Linda Monroe know this from personal experience; the real estate business is more than just putting signs in yards, typing listing information into a computer, and printing flyers. They know that it takes successful real estate agents to make selling houses look easy. John and Linda know that part of their success is due to their emphasis on customer service. They not only meet, but also often exceed, their customers’ expectations. And just as important as their honesty and accessibility is their attention to fine-tuning their marketing approach. They continually focus on niche marketing and customer service as the backbone of their success. They never stop fine-tuning these elements in order to give their customers the best buying and selling experiences possible.
