Atlanta Film Industry | Real Estate Expert

As a trusted Atlanta film industry real estate agent, I specialize in helping directors, actors, producers, and crew members buy and sell homes with strategies tailored specifically to entertainment professionals.

My husband is in Locations, so I understand the realities of film and TV work — variable income, demanding schedules, relocations, and time-sensitive decisions — and I guide my clients through the Atlanta real estate market with clarity, flexibility, and honesty.

Who I Work With

I proudly help:

• Film & TV professionals relocating to Atlanta

I help my clients by:

• Coordinating flexible showings around long and irregular workdays

• Connecting buyers with lenders experienced in gig and variable income

• Offering straightforward, non-sugar-coated advice

• Handling the details so you can focus on work when production schedules are intense

First Things First: Helpful Tips for Film Industry Professionals Buying a Home

Mortgage approval is generally based on three primary factors — two of which you can prepare for ahead of time:

1. Credit Score
   Aim for the high 600s or above for better loan options and interest rates.

2. Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)
   This compares your gross income (before taxes) to your monthly debts and financial obligations.

3. The Property (Collateral)
   The home itself is evaluated during the final approval and closing process.

Important Mortgage Notes for Film & TV Professionals

If you work in the film or entertainment industry, there are a few key things to know:

• Income Averaging:
  Because film income can vary year to year, lenders typically average your last two years of income (by tax year when possible). If you had an exceptional year followed by a slower one, this can impact your qualifying amount.

• Employment at Time of Purchase:
  Even though lenders understand employment gaps in the film industry, most require buyers to be actively employed and receiving pay during the home search and at closing.
  (Yes — this often means house hunting while working long days, and that’s where I help make things easier.)

• Exceptions Exist:
  Certain exceptions may apply depending on your lender, industry history, and recent earnings.
