One of my favorite times in a real estate transaction, as Closing Day draws nearer and nearer, is the preparation for window treatments. In most cases a speedy temporary fix is mini blinds. The future home owners excitement is evident as they go from room to room measuring windows and wall space.
When I get the call to view a home under contract from one of my clients, I go willingly and freely. Whether it is the call to measure windows or show it to grandma from out of town I show it at their convenience. To do anything else would be cruel and unusual punishment. Just think of somebody post poning Christmas morning.
Here is another happy and excited client. Our discussion at this session ranged from weed killer to removing brick borders around the flower beds. The only better time is the celebration dinner after the closing.
This past week 23 single family homes sold in Columbus Ga. Fifty three homes came new on the market and thirteen came back on the market. (Disregard all figures to the right of the Single Family heading, these figures represent areas outside of the Columbus Ga City Limits).
What is surprising to me are not the numbers of how many, what I found interesting are the comparison columns of Listing Price and Sold Price. To me the comparison of these two columns tells me that the Listing Agents did their homework and priced the home correctly. My hats off to you all for a job well done.

In the Columbus Ga, Fort Benning, area, the Walker - Peters - Langdon House is located in the Historic District on Broadway. It is the oldest home in Columbus and dates back to 1828. Surprisingly it is believed to be a pre-fabricated house. Federal cottages were built during this period with the idea of the purchasers picking them up and moving them to their land. The original owner Colonel Walker sold the home to the Peters family. The Peters family moved into the house because they were worried about Indians and this cottage stood in a more populated area than their previous home.
The clap-board siding is orginal, the cedar shingles have been restored and many of the hand-blown glass window panes are also original. The Walker - Peters - Langdon House is also a museum and open for tours. Contact the Historic Columbus Foundation for more information.
Retired Colonel Rick Rescorla, served in Vietnam in 1965 and died during the terrorist attack on 9/11. Rescorla will be honored at Fort Benning, with the unveiling of a bronze statue, at 11am, Thursday, September 17th, at the National Infantry Museumand Soldier Center. _______________________________________________________________
Rick Rescorla, also served as Vice President of Corporate Security for the firm of Morgan Stanley. On 9/11, he witnessed the burning of Tower 1 at the World TradeCenter from his office on the 66th floor of Tower 2. Rescola ordered the evacuation of Tower 2 and his actions saved the lives of 2700 people. When he was satisfied that all of his fellow employees were safely out of harms way, Rescorla returned to the tower. Ironically, his implementation of evacuation drills and preparedness saved the lives of thousands; his heroism and sense of duty, to leave no one behind, caused his demise. _______________________________________________________________
Lieutenant Rick Rescorla, served with the 7th Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam. He led a platoon of soldiers through Ia Drang Valley, where more than 200 Americans died. This heroic warrior was British, a former member of the British Army and moved to the United States in 1963 to join the U.S. Army. _______________________________________________________________
The statue honoring retired Colonel Rescorla will be placed and unveiled on Heritage Walk at the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. The unveiling ceremony will coincide with the arrival of a steel I-Beam that was part of Tower 1 at the World Trade Center. The I-Beam is being dedicated to all the Army men and women who have lost their lives, since 9/11 and to those who serve presently. _______________________________________________________________
The National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center at Fort Benning is a wonderful place to honor our soldiers. Within the walls are stories of all our soldiers. It is a fantastic place for quiet reflection and a great place to visit. ______________________________________________________________
One of the very best things about Columbus Ga and Fort Benning is location. And we all know that in real estate it is all about location, location, location. Well in this case it may also hold true for entertainment. A short drive of three to three and a half hours can get you as far as Panama City Beach Florida. Although it is has gotten a bit commercialized in the past 15 years, it can still boast one of the best beaches in the world. An hour north will get you to Atlanta and all that it has to offer. Major League Sports, Museums, Entertainment Parks and a fantastic night life are some of the offerings. Another couple of hours beyond Atlanta you will find Chattanooga Tennessee. Among other things you will find a world class hang gliding school. For the inexperienced Tandem flights are available. For the more down to earth types you can also enjoy Ruby Falls or Rock City and River Boat Rides.
