The words Budget and Fiscal are enough to make most people scroll past or click on to the next thing. But I'm a nerd and I figured I'd share some key takeaways from the proposed FY 2026

At a time when everyone seems to be a real estate agent, working with a true professional absolutely makes a difference. For that reason we have worked exclusively with Mason to buy and sell multiple properties over the last 10 years, including one before it hit MLS!

Mason explained everything in a way that was easy for us to understand from looking for properties, to making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker and the previous homeowner. He and his wife, Chrissy, went beyond expectations to find a house in Roswell, Georgia that had us IN LOVE from the start. And, it was during the height of Covid and very challenging. If there's one thing I've learned during the pandemic it's to appreciate the things people did for you... and they really did A LOT! And, they did a LOT during a very important time. I highly recommend Mason, and Chrissy!

Mason Eldridge has been my Atlanta area realtor for over 20 years. I would not trust anyone else to help navigate what typically is life’s largest and sometimes most emotional, financial maneuver: buying a home.In nearly a dozen transactions, Mason’s professionalism and hard work, has helped me both sell, and buy real estate that I was not only happy to call home, but happy with the overall process.

Living out-of-state from my parents during their transition into a retirement community, I slept easy at night knowing that Mason was on top of things and that they were in good hands! Mason really goes the extra mile for his clients and he made the sale of their longtime home as painless as possible for all of us! I have known Mason since he was in diapers and he is well-connected, resourceful, and creative in his approach to real estate. He is all of that on top of being a really great person too! Thank you, Mason!

We were fortunate to have these guys as our realtors when we moved to Roswell. The process was seamless, stress-free and pleasurable. Because of the creativity of these guys, we were able to make a compelling offer that stood out from many other offers on the property. We were recommended to lenders and closing attorneys who worked closely with these guys to make the experience as easy as possible. Communication was amazing! I have purchased and sold several properties in the past but this experience was second to none. If you are buying or selling, these are the ones that you want on your team!!

I am absolutely thrilled to write this glowing review for our incredible realtor, Mason Eldridge. He helped us purchase our first house when we moved to Atlanta over a decade ago. His expertise, professionalism, transparency, and unwavering dedication made the entire home-buying process a seamless experience. As a first-time home buyer, Mason helped us navigate the complexities of the real estate market, was strong negotiator, and we felt confident and supported throughout the entire process. He was incredibly responsive to our inquiries, promptly addressing any concerns or questions we had. Then, a few years later, based on upon the wonderful experience we had, Mason then helped us through the process of selling our first house and moving to another house, which we absolutely love. Thank you once again, Mason, for everything you have done for us. We are forever grateful!
"
- Robert Cotes

Mason and Chrissy were so helpful with our home sale. We hated to leave our neighborhood but they helped us find the best buyer and negotiate for the best return. Truly a great experience!
"
- Rich Cerretti

We’ve worked with Mason and Chrissy Eldridge for about 10 years. They’ve helped us through 3 transactions in Smyrna, Vinings and Sandy Springs. They are excellent to work with - professional, responsive, knowledgeable and very reliable. Plus, they are great people. Highly recommend working with them on your next property deal.

As a former client, I cannot say enough good things about the Eldridge Team. Mason was extremely helpful during our relocation from Washington, DC to the Atlanta area and then again 15 years later when we sold our home to move to North Georgia.Our experience was much more than traveling to scheduled listings. Mason and his team weighed the pros and cons when considering schools, access to shopping and commute considerations. He was also a fantastic advocate to make sure we negotiated the very best contract which, in the end, saved us time and money.Mason puts others needs ahead of his own. You just can’t go wrong with this team!

Mason was an excellent agent to work with when recently buying our house. I was impressed by the amount of market knowledge, detail and understanding he brought to the table. Mason took the time to sit down with us and review exactly what our needs were and what options were available. Throughout the entire process Mason made sure that the information, choices and guidance that he provided my wife and I, were presented in a clear and easy-to-understand way that ensured a comfortable and confident experience during what can often times be a stressful decision making process. I would highly recommend Mason to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.
"
- Braxton Blalock
"
I've known Mason for over 20 years. When it was time to buy my first house, Mason was responsive, dilligent and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He conducts himself with integrity and professionalism. His attention to detail and knowledge of the markets he serves are second to none.
"
- Doug Childers
"
We've worked with Mason for years and are always impressed with his patience, honesty, and determination to find the perfect home. He has connections with everyone you need to complete the home buying process and we would recommend him to anyone we know looking for a new home. His experience, kindness, and knowledge makes us excited to work with him again.
"
- Michele Blair

I have known Mason and Chris for 25+ years. I bought both my first and second homes with Mason as my agent. They were very different homes in different areas of Atlanta in different mortgage times. Everything went smooth and I still ask him random homeowning questions to this day!
"
- Bobby Sauer
"
The Eldridge team is the BEST! They were so patient with me as I searched for my forever home and ended up in a completely different area than where I started. I love my house and appreciate all the hard work they put in helping me find it!

Mason did a great job for us 8 years ago when we were looking to relocate to East Cobb. The market at the time wasn't dissimilar to the last couple of years with limited inventory and strong demand. We missed out on the first house that we put an offer in on but Mason was able to help us find a new one and navigate the process to "win" on the next one. We are so happy it worked out that way because the home we were in was that much better and had everything we were looking for, including a shorter commute. Buying the new home put us in a situation where we needed to sell the home we were in and with Mason's assistance, it sold before we evenly officially listed it. He was also helpful with names and suggestions for contractors and new sources for things such as insurance brokers which in the end was able to save us some money. I would highly recommend him.

I live out of state. When my sister passed away Mason helped me sell her house in Decatur. He solicited bids from investors and sold the house "as is" in record time for higher than market value. I couldn't be more pleased with the service and results from Mason and his team.
"
- Steve Brown
"
A tract of land came up for sale that I wanted to purchase. In this deal, the owner was a property investor who was acting as the selling agent. I didn't have anyone in my corner.Mason helped me navigate the waters and allowed me to sleep well at night knowing the deal would be fair and clean. Even though he didn't have to attend the closing in person, he drove 2 hours to the closing location to ensure I didn't have any concerns.He is as honest and good hearted as they come.
"

Mason’s confidence and experience in his field is unmatched. Such a pleasure to work with during the sale of my house. In speaking with friends that have used other realtors there was always stress, well not with Mason! Easy from start to finish of the whole transaction.
"
- John Wirtz

Having used Mason and Chrissy in the past on a couple of home purchases, I will say they are a great team to help anyone find their next home or sell their home. They’re very personable, energetic, and passionate about their work and will find the best deal for both buyers and sellers.

Mason has helped our family with our last three property purchases. He makes what is usually a very stressful process a breeze. Mason has a deep understanding of the market and provides valuable advice. His good nature and willingness to talk and share an opinion on a property anytime makes him a remarkable agent.
"
- Richard Haymore

When it came time to sell our home, we chose Mason because of his experience and expertise. Mason provided a wealth of information and ease to what could have been an overwhelming process.Mason's industry knowledge allowed us to list at the perfect time and we got exactly what we wanted from the sale. From getting the house ready for market down to the closing, the entire process was smooth and care-free thanks to Mason.I highly recommend the Eldridge Team to anyone looking to effortlessly navigate buying/selling a home in and around Atlanta.
"
- Danielle Wirtz

Mason has helped me both buy and sell a house over the years and is one of the few real estate agents I have ever trusted to be sure they were in it for me and not just a quick commission. He met with my wife and I to go over what we needed to do before the house was on the market, gave us tons of feedback and answered every question we had when it was on the market, and took over working with other agents and inspectors when we had a buyer. He was a big help. When we bought a house, Mason knew just about everything there was to know about every neighborhood we were looking at North Atlanta cause he is a native and tied in with the community. Made it all easier. Thanks.

These guys are fantastic. I’ve worked with Mason Eldridge to buy and sell multiple home in the Atlanta area, and each time he’s gone the extra mile to ensure I get the best price possible. In addition, Mason knows the importance of building a relationship with his clients that ensures trust and will make you want to recommend him to your friends. I’ve never been disappointed, and I’ll never use another realtor again.
