Hamilton Mill Movies This Weekend
Posted By Matt Fagioli on November 21st, 2008
Going to the movies this weekend? Here’s a link to the Hamilton Mill Movies
It’s so great to have our own movie theater right down the street (behind Home Depot). So, you can grab some coffee at the Hamilton Mill Starbucks and cruise right across the street and be at the best theater in the area.
Calling “Some” Agents… Shameless Recruiting Plug for Diamond Dwellings Realty
Posted By Matt Fagioli on November 21st, 2008
‘Tis the season when real estate agents in Atlanta and all over the country are evaluating their current brokerage and asking themselves “what should I do next year” & “does my broker have the tools I need”. At Diamond Dwellings, we’re really excited about that. We are actively recruiting agents and brokers in many markets around Atlanta and throughout the southeast (in selected markets). It’s our “busy season” for talking to agents & brokers about the uniqueness of the Diamond Dwellings model. We want to jump start your business into 2009 and help you grow - in a season where others are retreating.
I guess I could have said “calling ALL agents” but we really aren’t doing that. We’re only looking for GREAT agents & great brokers. We’re looking for Great People. Diamond Dwellings is a place where we really care deeply about the character & integrity of our agents and everyone else on the team. We walk AND talk our mission statement. We drive for results with a Christ centered world view.
Most brokerage models are about “BIG”. Yet it’s very clear that big doesn’t work any more. The days of the big brokerage are coming to an end in favor of a small & nimble “guerilla marketing” style of brokerage. Boutique brokerages leveraging the power of internet marketing will win the day in the “new economy”. Diamond Dwellings is all about boutique brokerage. More accurately, Diamond Dwellings is a model for a multitude of boutique brokerages.
Here’s Some More Details…
We started in 2006 with one small office in Dacula, Ga (northeast suburb of Atlanta). That small office was initially centered on Hamilton Mill, a 2400+ home golf community. In the last few years we have developed the Diamond Dwellings model Since then expanded our focus into several other hyper-local markets in both Georgia & Florida. Here’s a few examples: SuwaneeDwellings.com and BrandonDwellings.com
Diamond Dwellings is a franchise. BUT, we’re a “franchise for those who don’t like franchises”:) We provide all the benefits of a franchise (like powerful websites/blogs/signage/print/etc) without the hassles of traditional franchise models. We’ve created a repeatable model for building boutique brokerages (and boutiques are usually quite small). Our program is based on a web 2.0 focused marketing strategy that creates real brand penetration into very specific target markets.
The Diamond Dwellings “way” is based on proven, time-tested sales & marketing processes. But, the secret sauce is DEEP implementation. That’s right, we actually know how to make it happen and get stuff done! We’ll help you deliver more while spending less and be the household name in your market. That, of course, translates into more internet presence, more leads, more traffic… More Sales!
So, “calling some agents” (only the best of the best please). We want to share our ideas with you and give you tools for true local market domination in your home market.

ps. Need to ask you a BIG favor… …please DON’T assume you know what we’re about until we sit down face to face & you hear the details:) Diamond Dwellings is not like any other real estate company you have ever talked to. I know you’ll be blown away by what’s possible for you with us! Can’t wait to meet you.
Big Sunday at 12 Stone Church on Nov 23rd
Posted By Matt Fagioli on November 18th, 2008
Well, we’re not exactly sure what the big news will be, but November 23rd is apparently going to be something big at 12Stone. If you’re a friend of Diamond Dwellings, you know that we’re big fans of our local Gwinnett County “mega-church”, 12 Stone Church.
If you are new to the area, new to “church” or just looking for a new church home - come visit 12Stone at either the Hamilton Mill location or the Hwy 20 location (”big church” as I like call it because it seats 2400+). The music is awesome, the message is right-on-relavent and the Starbucks coffee is free-flowin’! The Hamilton Mill campus is a just a smaller version of the Hwy 20 campus. Same great people. Same great setup.
This is a map of the Hwy 20 campus facility. The drawing is for the first floor but there are 2 huge floors. The children’s programs are just incredible. They also have great events from time to time for extended worship. For a long time those services were called “The Well” - now it’s called O2 (like Oxygen). Those are just not-to-be missed evenings.
We love being part of it. My family have been “12Stoners” for about 8 years now. You can find us there (hwy 20) most Sundays at 9am (there’s also an 11am service at both locations). We’re “lefties” so we sit on the left side/center - just about where the “c” is in the word Center on this map:).
Hope to see you there. If not this week, maybe sometime real soon 
Gwinnett Imaging Center At Hamilton Mill

Hamilton Mill Lot for Sale??
Posted By Matt Fagioli on October 25th, 2008
That’s something you just never see.
“Hamilton Mill lot for sale“
For the last 12+ years, people have asked about the opportunity to buy a lot in Hamilton Mill and then build their own house (or bring their own builder). It’s always been nearly impossible to get it done (except for a very few super-inside deals with builders, etc). Out of 2300+ homes I can only think of a few that we’re not sold through the “normal” sales process - to include the completed home and commissions, etc.
Well, at the moment, there is ONE lot for sale by a builder up in the Cambridge section of Hamilton Mill. It’s an outside corner lot and you can pick it up at a huge bargain! It’s priced at less than half the price paid by the builder several years ago. So you can build whatever you want on the lot - as long as it meets Hamilton MIll design standards & guidelines. The lot walking distance to the millview amenities and it is right near the Hamilton Mill Golf Club entrance too.
