Real estate investor Twana Phillips opens an association for Atlanta female real estate investors

ATLANTA--The Atlanta real estate market is forever thriving, yet many women are not knowledgeable about effective investing. With so many residential and commercial properties available, metro Atlanta is now attracting several inexperienced female investors. The International Association of Women Real Estate Investor created in Atlanta, has helped many women become of aware of the do's and don'ts of selecting property whether it be for professional or personal use. Twana Phillips, the founder and CEO created the association because she always had an interest in real estate but didn't have access to the entry point. Being a male dominated industry, Twana had a very hard time linking with women that specialized in real estate investments. After being introduced to a woman who shared the same goals, Twana planted her feet in the Atlanta real estate market.

ST Residential starts 2012 with multiple sellouts

ATLANTA – ST Residential celebrates a strong start to 2012, announcing three sellouts since January at Horizon at Wildwood, Luxe and Serrano.

DOWNTOWN: Condo owners lose lawsuit over skyline views

ATLANTA -- Georgia's highest court has ruled in favor of developers in a lawsuit brought by eight people who say they purchased condominiums in Atlanta under false promises of views of the downtown skyline.

The Georgia Supreme Court decided unanimously to reverse a Georgia Court of Appeals ruling. The condo owners had sued Novare Group, Inc. after a 46-story high-rise was built across the street from their 26-story building, Twelve Atlantic Station Hotels and Residences.

The owners said they had paid a premium for units with "spectacular city views."

In an opinion released Monday, the high court noted that the owners' arguments were based oral statements and that those statements contradicted the signed purchase agreements, which specifically said views could change over time due to circumstances including additional development.
