The Bird Gives Back

Did you know that Red Robin Group donates 1% of our commissions to organizations in our community? Here are some of the projects we’ve supported this year…

East Atlanta Kids Club

Not only do we make a quarterly donation to this wonderful organization, but our team also takes part in projects involving the children of the EAKC. Earlier this summer, you may have heard about our Birdhouse Project that spruced up a small park in the Ormewood Park neighborhood with a beautiful birdhouse art installation. If you haven’t had a chance to see it yet, you may want to take a quick drive (or walk) over to the intersection of E. Confederate Ave and Woodland Ave.

We’re also making our 4th quarter donation to the EAKC in support of their holiday programming and gift giving. During this time of year, it’s so important for kids to build happy memories and feel the love and joyful spirit that the holidays can bring. Red Robin Group team members have also committed to some holiday volunteer hours with the EAKC.

Child Sponsorship at the Guice School

Guice is an Easter Seals North Georgia early childhood school located right in the Ormewood Park neighborhood. This group “provides high-quality services to ensure that all children with disabilities or other special needs and their families have equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play in their communities.”

Last year, a mother of one of the boys attending Guice started a project to find sponsors for the 140 children living in poverty that attend the school. She had started noticing that a majority of the children were being dropped off at school in worn clothing with no winter coat to keep them warm. Many of those same children live in homes without a single book.

This year, Red Robin Group has decided to sponsor a child at the school. She is 20 months old and will now be receiving a baby doll, books and clothes to open on Christmas morning.

This goes without saying, but we are overjoyed at the opportunity to take part in these wonderful neighborhood projects.

Happy Holidays to all.

Add This to Your Holiday Shopping List

Holiday shopping is in full force. There’s one thing that should definitely be at the top of your “shopping” list if you’re one of those individuals always looking for a great bargain… a home. Here’s a compelling reason to shop for your new home in the next 2 months.

Remember, putting aside the fact that this is the finest buyer's market any of us are likely to see in our home buying lifetime, there is something even more wonderful about being a winter buyer (in any type of market). Individuals who are continuing to list their homes through the holidays mean business. And since the buyer pool is generally a lot smaller in this season compared to all others, it means that the sellers are not seeing nearly as many people walk through their homes and it's that slow down in traffic that can precipitate significantly more negotiability on the part of the seller.

So for all you buyers out there that are inclined to buy over the course of the next year, consider taking advantage of the winter months to get a move on the best possible deal out there. This time of year through early February tends to be absolutely the best time of all for a buyer to make a move on a home with the greatest negotiability on the part of the seller. All you bargain shoppers, here’s your chance to get the deal of a lifetime. Imagine all the future holiday memories you’ll be able to create in your new home!
