Excited about Our Upcoming Conversation with Chris Brogan on Social Media Edge!

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:01:23 -0600

Via Jason Crouch, Broker - Austin Texas Real Estate (512-796-7653) (Austin Texas Homes, LLC):

Ken Cook and I are very pleased to announce that Chris Brogan will be joining us for our next show. We've had a string of terrific guests, but Chris is arguably our most well-known guest to date. I have a feeling that this show will probably break our previous listener records, but time will tell. I would like to publicly thank our friend, Cathy Browne, PR pro, for booking Chris. Cathy has been in charge of booking talent for a few months now.

Chris' blog at ChrisBrogan.com has over 30,000 subscribers, and he's the co-author of "Trust Agents", which became a New York Times best seller earlier this year. He is a highly-sought-after speaker these days, and I highly recommend both his book and subscribing to his blog.

Here's a quick review of "Trust Agents" that I wrote previously:

"Trust Agents" - Chris Brogan & Julien Smith - Quick Book Review

Clearly, the guy knows a bit about social media.

Join us on Tuesday, November 24th at noon Eastern (11am Central, 10am Mountain, 9am Pacific) right here LIVE to hear Chris (and us, too!):

http://blogtalkradio.com/jckc

I think the segment with Chris will start around 25-30 minutes into the show. It promises to be an hour of fun and learning.

On another note, if you have any questions that you would like for me to ask Chris during our time together, feel free to leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to work them in, depending on how many I get.

If, for some odd reason, you are simply unable to listen live, you can always listen via the archive recording. All of our previous shows can be found on our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/socialmediaedge thanks to Mike Mueller!

So, here's the list again in case you missed anything above:

1. Tune in to listen to us and Chris LIVE Tuesday morning.

2. Post any questions you might have for Chris below.

3. If you miss it, listen to the archive recording.

Thanks for listening!

If you enjoyed this post, why not connect with me in these other communities?

Butler Plantation in Coastal Georgia.....part of American history

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:12:12 -0600

Via Julie Chapman Realty Homes Brunswick Georgia:

Butler Plantation in Coastal Georgia....a part of American History

Major Pierce Butler (the third son of an Irish baronet) came to America and married Mary Middleton of South Carolina. Butler's sale of his military commission was used to purchase several plantations in South Georgia including Butler Plantation approximately 1 mile south of Darien Georgia. The home is now owned by the Department of Natural Resources and is used as a private residence.

Major Butler left this property not to his children, but his grandchildren if they would change their last name to Butler. So Pierce (Mease) Butler ended up with title to this property that had been cultivated with dikes and canals for the purpose of growing rice. The property has been turned into a wildlife preserve. What brings attention to most tourists driving down Highway 17 is the old rice mill chimney that still remains.

Most people's familiarity to Butler Plantation are the writings of English actress Fanny Kemble Butler, wife of Pierce Butler. Although Fanny only spent 4 months in Georgia on a trip with her husband to view his estates, Fanny hated slavery. This caused a divorce which ended with her only being allowed to see her two children two months a year. Fanny returned to her acting career but later published "Journal of a Residence on a Georgia Plantation".

Now the Altamaha Waterfowl Management Area and Howfyl Plantation, Butler Plantation is an protected asset of the Department of Natural Resources and the state of Georgia.

Thinking Retirement - think tax relief in Brunswick and the Golden Isles of Georgia

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:11:39 -0600

Via Julie Chapman Realty Homes Brunswick Georgia:

Retiring?.....think tax relief in Brunswick and the Golden Isles of Georgia

As to income taxes, the State of Georgia's Income Division's Tax website offers the following information:

Taxable Social Security and Railroad Retirement on the Federal return are exempt Georgia Income Tax.

A retirement exclusion of $35,000 is allowed provided the taxpayer is 62 years of age or older, or the taxpayer is totally and permanently disabled. Retirement income under Georgia law is defined as interest, dividends, net rentals, capital gains, royalties, pensions, annuities in addition to the first $4000.00 of earned income. Earned income is income from a trade or business, wages, salaries, tips, or other compensation. Both spouses can qualify for the retirement exclusion but each much qualify separately. Even part-year residents and nonresidents can benefit from this exclusion. Part time residents and non-residents must prorate the retirement exclusion.

For more information on Georgia's State Taxes, visit the state of Georgia Income Tax division's website or call an accounting professional.

As to real estate taxes in Glynn County, Georgia (which includes Saint Simons Island, Jekyll Island, Sea Island and Brunswick, Georgia addresses, in addition to a homestead exemption in the amount of $10,000 of your assessed property value, a owner occupied home in Glynn County Georgia is entitled to apply for the second tier of our homestead exemption made available through the passage of legislation known as the Scarlett-Williams Act.

In 2000, this act was passed and named for its legislative sponsors. This second tier of the homestead exemption only applies if the property is your primary residence. As long as the owner does not sell, relocate or substantially remodel the property, the assessed value will be frozen. This legislation was designed to protect the residents from the many property value increases in Glynn County's due to recent years many increases in values.

This is a bit of security not everyone feels when they purchase a home. For more information, call the Glynn County's Tax Assessor or visit http://www.glynncounty.org.

$8000 First Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:21:26 -0600

Bryan has done a great job on the tax credit issues....take a look.

Via Bryan Griffis Realtor Brunswick Ga. Real Estate St. Simons Island Glynn County (Chapman Realty):

On Friday, November 6, the President signed into law the extension for the $8000 first time home buyer’s tax credit. There were a couple of important changes to the law that should help out more home buyers and sellers.

Who qualifies as for the first time buyer tax credit?

-         $8000 will be the maximum credit for any new home buyer.

-         A new home buyer is a purchaser who has not owned a principal residence in the past 3 years.   The purchaser’s spouse will also have to meet this qualification.

-         The income levels have also been increased. Single buyers must make less than $125,000 annually and married buyers must make less than $225,000 annually to qualify for the total credit. There is also a $20,000 window, for buyers to receive some credit if they make more than the allowed levels. But no credit is given to single buyers who make more than $145,000, and married buyers who make more than $245,000.

-         As long as you keep the property for at least 3 years, you will not have to repay this credit. However, if you sell the property the total credit will have to be repaid.

Who qualifies as a current homeowner?

-         You must have owned your current property for at least 5 consecutive years out of the last 8 years to qualify for the credit of $6500.

-         The aforementioned income limits also apply. ($125,000 for single, $225,000 for married, $20,000 phase out).

-         Must purchase your new home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. You may also close the property before July 1, 2010 if it is under contract on or before April 30, 2010 deadline.

What properties will qualify?

-         These credits are for the purchase of a primary residence. Condos, town homes, single family, new construction and re-sale homes all qualify.

-         The property must be purchased for less than $800,000.

This information is for educational purposes only. Please consult a qualified tax professional if you have a specific question or if you would like more information on the first time home buyer tax credit.
