I am so excited I was recently elected to be an Ambassador for the local Augusta Chamber of Commerce. I have been so amazed over the last few weeks at all the great new as well as the many established Businesses in Augusta and Evans Georgia.

augusta ga: Augusta Georgia’s Housing Market is Strong - 12/21/08 11:17 AM
Our Augusta Georgia market is second in the nation in home value appreciation - not the "I like your house" brand of appreciation, but the increase in value version.
In the past year, the value of area homes increased (in total) 5.5 percent.
This information comes straight from the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which has a house price index based on the actual sale of homes. Most of the news from the agency is the national "Holy Toledo, things are bad" variety, such as the largest decline in home values in the 17-year history of the index.

OK so I'm not the most physically fit person around. Everyone thinks I am because I'm tall and slender, but the truth is waking up in the morning has gotten to be very painful, and 2 Arthritis pills before I even get my first cup of coffee.

With all the negative financial news lately do you feel like the sky is falling?
How much of the national, state or even local situation can you personally change? Very little, right? We can only keep our positive attitude & realize everybody lives in a house & most would like to move if you can help make it happen. How will YOU help them get happily moved?
While other parts of the country are having tremendous difficulties we need to realize how fortunate we are to live & work in the CSRA Georgia.
