Here are open houses for Sunday, Aug. 5.
Homebuyers come in two camps. There’s the group of buyers who want to a home that’s turn-key ready to move in. Then there’s the group who can see what was the shell of a home and restore it to its former glory. Rachel Tobin falls in the latter category. Tobin, a communications and public relations professional with Atlanta-based Jackson Spalding, purchased her Marcus Street home in the Reynoldstown neighborhood in 2010. The 1920s-era home was in foreclosure and in heavy need of TLC. The tall ceilings and the layout were two strong selling points for Tobin, who, along with Grant Park real …

by Patch Staff Here are select open houses in the neighborhoods of East Atlanta Patch this week.
In this week's Home $weet Home, we look at listed foreclosures in the Kirkwood neighborhood. Once a seperate city, Kirkwood, founded in 1899, became annexed into Atlanta in 1922. The neighborhood, which derives its name from the merging of two prominent families' names — the Kirkpatricks and Dunwoodys — is known for its Victorian and Crafstman style homes.
This week in "Home Sweet Home," we look at foreclosures in the neighborhoods of East Atlanta Patch. Foreclosure is never an easy process, of course. But there is hope for those who are unemployed and looking to stay in their homes. The HomeSafe Georgia program is designed to help unemployed homeowners make their mortgage payments. The program, administered through the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, has been available for about 1½ year. But as 11alive.com recently reported, consumers who could have benefited from it didn't know about it. HomeSafe Georgia has two different programs …
The southeast corner of Gresham and Ormewood avenues in East Atlanta is truly undergoing a metamorphosis. Longtime residents remember the ramshackle eyesore that was 750 Gresham Ave. SE. The then-1,444-square-foot home was literally an "open" house, given that it had holes in the roof, as well as the side that fronted Ormewood Avenue. On the opposite side of the house, the floor had collapsed to the ground and the wall was missing. Homeless people lived there while drug users went there to get high. And then there was trash. Lots of it. Decatur-based ParcLife Homes, which specializes in …
