Where to Find the Luck o' the Irish in Atlanta
Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, and nowhere is that more true than in Atlanta, home of one of the country's oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day parades. Want to partake in some luck o' the Irish as you tour Atlanta homes for sale? Here's what you should know to join in the fun and festivities on Saturday, March 16.
History of the St. Patrick's Day Parade
In 1858, the Hibernian Benevolent Society held Atlanta's first St. Patrick's Day parade to honor the rich heritage of Irish immigrants in the city. Specific recognition was given to Father Thomas O'Reilly and the Hibernian Rifles, who played an important role in Atlanta during the Civil War.
Father O'Reilly earned respect tending to the religious needs of both Union and Confederate soldiers. When General William Sherman captured Atlanta, O'Reilly led a group that ultimately convinced Sherman to spare City Hall, the courthouse, and five churches, including O'Reilly's own Immaculate Conception.
The Hibernian Rifles, named after a nationalist militia group in Ireland, also stood up against Sherman's "scorched earth" campaign. In gratitude, Oakland Cemetery set aside a plot dedicated to the Hibernian Rifles and members of the HBS.

Open House Strategies: Staging Your Atlanta Home to Sell

Over the years, our real estate agents have learned a lot about staging a home to sell. Staging allows you to present your home in the best light and makes it possible for prospective buyers to envision themselves living there. Here's how to do it right.
- Eliminate Clutter
Getting rid of clutter is one of the most important steps to getting your home ready for the market. That means eliminating anything unnecessary, from old magazines and extra knick-knacks to unwanted clothes and furniture. And don't just pack everything into closets; you want those to be clutter-free when potential buyers look around. Donate, recycle and give away what you can, and consider having a yard sale to help purge unnecessary belongings.
