She ran a company in Beijing for many years and had a stable career. Last year she came to the US to look at schools, toured everywhere from San Jose to Palo Alto, and in the end was won over by Atlanta's pace of life.
The first time she walked into this East Cobb neighborhood, she said: "It looks like a home from an American TV show."
The space is what won her over
- A half-acre lot, a three-car garage and no HOA
- An oversized island kitchen with high-end appliances, open to a two-story living room
- A full wall of sliding doors opening to a covered outdoor living room
- A private bath for every bedroom upstairs, plus a full suite downstairs that works for visiting parents
From investment to living
She laughed and said: "I used to buy houses as investments. This time it's for living."
Many clients coming from China or California feel the same on their first visit: the same budget buys far more space here, and a slower pace of life.
If you are comparing California and Atlanta, I can walk you through a few neighborhoods over video first so you can compare.
