north georgia: Four Tips to a Better Lawn According to They Say - Springtime in North Georgia - 04/25/12 03:02 PM
Spring has sprung a bit early this year in North Georgia. I am already finding myself doing battle with weeds. This will be an ongoing war until the first frost. Since winter was milder than usual and March was really warm, spring caught me a little off guard. With more daylight in the day, I am able to spend a little extra time outside deploying my battle plan.
Tomorrow, I will hit Home Depot and Lowe's for pine straw, mulch, weed and grass killer. What made me plant so much grass several years ago is something I'll never figure out. … (2 comments)

north georgia: I Thought a Buyer Would Snap up my Cabin - Four Things to Consider - 04/15/12 08:11 AM
Home Sellers, Marketing, Home Buyers, Housing Market, Real Estate, Economy
You have a nice cabin in the mountains but life is ever changing and now you either want or need to sell it. You feel confident that the cabin will appeal to a lot of prospective buyers so you think it should sell fairly quickly and you can get on with your life. After all, you love the cabin and therefore, most everyone else will too.
But, “what if” it doesn’t sell right away?
Have a backup plan in case it takes longer than you expect for your cabin to sell … (5 comments)

North Georgia, Blue Ridge Mountains, VacationProperties, Investors, Property Management
As a Realtor®, I'm asked quite often by potential investors about buying a cabin and using it as a vacation rental property. Although, I am not in the business of rentals, I am in the business of selling cabins that have potential for vacation rental and can speak in broad terms as to what an investor should think about before making their purchase.
My best advice is for an investor to consult with several local property management companies for indepth information regarding rates, policies, liability and input on what visitors are … (2 comments)

It's tax time again ! I know, don't remind me, right?
Some homeowners may be expecting a property tax bill for the first half of 2011. So, in case you are wondering why your property tax rates seem to change every year and how they are calculated by the government, here goes:
Property tax rates and a property tax assessment are different.
The rate at which your property is taxed is an overall percentage
The assessment is a valuation of your property's worth

north georgia: Are You Mechanically Challenged? Today I Became a "C" Student - 11/05/10 03:00 PM
I treat most mechanical things this way: flip a switch , it starts running, I'm happy. Then I go about by business never giving the mechanical thing another thought. Well, today, I learned that sometimes you need to know what it really means when you flip a switch.
For example, the direction a ceiling fan should turn in wintertime vs. summertime actually makes a difference. Now, that cooler weather is here, I reversed the direction of my ceiling fan in my four season sunroon but it didn't seem to help warm the room so I'm thinking, this is not a … (5 comments)
