Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:45:03 -0500

     Some of the best Columbus Ga real estate, is located along the banks of the Chattahoochee River. This past weekend some 10,000 volunteers showed up, to clean up. The Help the Hooch program has turned into a river, lakes, streams and local parks clean up party.   Columbus Ga, Fort Benning and Phenix City are much cleaner thanks to soldiers, girl scouts, cub scouts, school kids, senior groups and environmentally concientious volunteers.
     Local divers will continue with the annual clean up in a couple of weeks when the Chattahoochee River recedes to normal levels. Highwaters concerned Local Organizers who took special precautions along the river. Parts of the Columbus Ga, fort Benning River Walk were closed to volunteers. All in all the residents of the area ususally collect 100,000 pounds of litter, many of the volunteers were surprised by the staggering amounts of trash.
     When Saturdays clean up ended, volunteers were treated to a thank you party complete with food and entertainment at Golden Park. The park is located at the end of Broadway in Downtown Columbus along the Chattahoochee River.

Columbus Ga, Online Sales Taxes

Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 17:38:53 -0500

The Supreme Court had once ruled that online sales tax did not need to be collected, if the seller did not have a brick and mortar or a warehouse in the state. New York, Rhode Island and North Carolina are circmuventing the old law, by proposing that websites and affiliate websites should be treated as a physical presence because one or the other is hosted in their state. I'm sure many more states are going to jump onto this bandwagon and consumers will be paying higher prices across the board. Taxes are inevitable, if you are doing online business pay the tax, please.
Let's plug some corporate tax loopholes while we're at it. If everybody pays their share, then I won't feel so bad for not finding a loophole to serve my interests.

Columbus Ga, Fort Benning, "FedEx Cup Tournament"

Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:05:49 -0500

A local resident in Columbus Ga wrote a thank you note in the local paper. He thanked the Atlanta PGA and FedEx Cup Tournament sponsors for a memorable day, and their generosity. Military families were treated to free parking, shuttle rides to and from the tournament, free admission and food and beverages. When the retired soldier thanked the tournament representative, she in turn thanked him for his service.
There are a number of nice things happening in and around our community. I am thrilled when I come across stories like this. It makes me proud of our good neighbors everywhere. I'm going to keep poking around the papers and internet so that I might share more good news.

Sledgehammer Brigade readies for 4th Deployment to Iraq

Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:10:17 -0500

     Columbus Ga - Fort Benning News:   The 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team is on the move, back to Iraq. In the next few weeks 3600 soldiers will return to Iraq, several hundred members of the Sledgehammer Brigade have already departed.
      This is the fourth deployment to Iraq for the 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team. No other unit has been deployed as often. Kelley Hill, the home of the Sledgehammer Brigade at Fort Benning will seem eerily empty as the Brigade moves out.
     It has been hard on the soldiers and the families of the Sledgehammer Brigade, but the soldiers continue to serve and the families continue to wait.  I personally want to thank our soldiers at Fort Benning and all over the world. Your families, friends and neighbors await your return home. God Bless You!

Nobel Prize

I have been a Realtor in Columbus Ga for twenty one years. I try to keep my posts on a local level or real estate related. I could not help writing about the Nobel Prize in economics. All the fuss over the Peace prize left some very fine Americans under appreciated. Thank you Jeannine Aversa, Karl Ritter and Matt Moore for publishing the names and story of the NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS IN ECONOMICS.

Elinor Ostrom of Indiana became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in economics. Oliver Williamson was also a winner in the field and the two shared the 1.4 million dollar prize.

Thanks again to the Associated Press for printing their story where I could find it.

Muscogee County Public Education Center - Columbus Ga homes

Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:24:51 -0500

The new (Taj Mahal) on Macon Road in Columbus Ga, will soon be home to hundreds of Muscogee County School District staffers and educators. The controversial construction is completed and School Board member Phillip Schley has come up with a name. MUSCOGEE COUNTY PUBLIC EDUCATION CENTER sounds pretty good. The name fits and guess what, it is the Muscogee County Public Education Center. If I may suggest to the rest of the Board Members, go with it. Don't spend thousands of dollars hiring consultants to research the name. It won't get any better. Save the taxpayers a few bucks and yourselves some bad press.

96,000 sq ft of space that once was part of the SEARS parking lot. It is a good looking prime property with plenty of room to add on. I am sure the Muscogee County School District will make good use of it. I am also certain that it will serve the community for many years.

Columbus Ga Taxes and Expedia.com Columbus Ga Real Estate

Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:07:35 -0500

Columbus Ga government officials felt it necessary to sue Expedia.com back in 2006. At issue was the amount of taxes collected and the room rate that Expedia paid taxes on. The city and their lawyers felt that expedia should pay city taxes based on the monetary amount that the customers paid. Expedia paid taxes on a lower advertised room rate. Sounds like a no brainer. The courts thought it was a no brainer. Even the Georgia Supreme Court upheld the city's right to collect taxes on the true room rate. Columbus won, Expedia lost.

Now City attornies are again resorting to litigation. A motion has been filed in Superior Court to force Expedia to Re-list hotels and motels in Columbus properly. The bad boys (expedia) who were caught with their fingers in the city coffers years ago, have resorted to pushing the envelope again. Currently these forward thinking entrepreneurs at expedia are misleading customers by listing local Columbus hotels in Phenix City Alabama. Agreed Phenix City is just across the river and on any map never more than a matter of centimeters, but really Expedia grow up. This is a disservice to your customers and just down right rude to the business owners of Columbus Ga. The city is reasonable in their demands, if you want to do business pay the tax, or find a tax loophole, there are no legal ones. Better yet open up a shop here in Columbus and apply for the city tax exmption.

Johnny Isakson, Saxby Chambliss Increase $8000 Tax Credit !

Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:05:11 -0500

Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson is still worried about the current Real Estate crisis. He doesn't think that the stimulus package is enough and wants to raise the $8000 tax break to $15000. He went on to say that, "the sale of thousands of empty, undeveloped lots in subdivisions around Atlanta and throughout the nation is critical to stabilize the housing market."

The Republican Senator from Georgia is sponsoring a bill to benefit ALL HOME BUYERS. Isakson's bill would eliminate the current income limit of $75,000 for an individual and 150,000 for a couple. His bill would increase income limits to $150,000 and $300,000 respectively. Senator Isakson's amendment would extend the tax break until June 30th 2010. Saxby Chamblis, Republican Senator also from Georgia is a co sponsor of the amendment.

Senator Isakson stated, "he is also worried about housing near Military Installations". He mentioned, the expected growth of Columbus Ga and Fort Benning and also the Fort Knox area. Thousands of soldiers will be moving from one location to another and the continued stimulus will make home sales easier for them.

Not everyone agrees with the Georgia Senators, but they have my support. Their efforts to protect our soldiers is commendable. I think it is the smart thing to do!

Al Capone's Hideout , Columbus Ga Homes - Fort Benning Realtor - Phenix City Real Estate

Erika Nicholson Columbus Ga Homes (RE/MAX CHAMPIONS REALTY, Columbus Ga) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 18:32:46 -0500

Al Capone's former hideout / former tourist attraction sold on the court house steps in Hayward Wisconsin. Chippewa Valley Bank was the only bidder, it was also the bank that foreclosed. Capone's retreat in Northern Wisconsin featured 18 inch thick stone walls and guard towers. Nine separate buildings on the property also included a bunk house and a jail. The property sold for 2.6 million dollars.

Sawyer County Wisconsin has much more to offer than Capone's Hideout. The northwoods are beautiful and relaxing. Hayward Lakes is an equally striking destination with plenty of antique stores, and artisans. Canoeing, horse back riding through the forests and lumberjack exhibitions are high on the list of things to do. You can also find the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum here. If these attractions aren't enough to fill your days, this is golf country too. There are plenty of challenges on a number of golf courses in the area. I'm from Columbus Ga. but Fishing, Golf, fresh air in Hayward and Sawyer County Wisconsin sounds really inviting.

There is good news in Columbus Ga about some of our neighbors. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, made the local newspaper and it was all good news.

Members of Elks Lodge No.111 received a request from a family that needed help with a wheel chair ramp. A child in the family had just been released from the hospital after undergoing surgery which left the child unable to walk. Not only did lodge members build the ramp for the family. They found another fantastic neighbor who provided free building materials.

Tripp Mitchell, from Valley Fir and Redwood, located on Norris Rd. provided the Elks with wood, nails, cement and all the construction material needed to build the ramp. Tripp Mitchell helped out the Elks! The Elks built the wheel chair ramp and helped a family in need. Neighbors helping neighbors, helping neighbors!

My hat is off to all of the generous people involved in this wonderful, selfless act of kindness.

FDI, Foreign Direct Investments in the state of Georgia dropped to 226.1 Million Dollars in the first half of 2009. This is a huge downturn over the same period of 2008 when the FDI, Foreign Direct Investments, was a whopping 1.143 BILLION Dollars. According to the statistics provided by the Georgian Statistics Department, we still have friends in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates made the biggest investment in the 2nd quarter totalling 73.6 million Dollars.
The big industrial losers in Foreign Direct Investments were transportation and communication sectors, followed by energy and agriculture. There was good news in Real Estate Markets which received the largest sum in Foreign Direct Investments, about 81 Million Dollars. The constructin sector also did well and attracted a bit more than 3.5 Million Dollars, but this amount was 25% less than investments in the previous year.

    It is a cozy little hideaway with lots of greenspace and community amenities. I have ventured into Peachtree City several times and enjoyed the sites within the community. I particularly enjoyed the commercial signage size restrictions. There were no towering Shell, Exxon or Burger King signs looming over the landscape. Instead I found nice friendly postage stamp sized signs posted at entry ways to various commercial enterprise.
    To be honest most of the time I drive right past Peachtree City on my way to and from Alanta. Would I want to live there? No! My favorite place to live is Columbus Ga. approximately fity miles south of Peachtree City.

Since we are located right on the border of Georgia and Alabama and because many agents int he area are licensed in both states, I felt it important to pass on the news of the Alabama Real Estate License Law Amendment reagarding advertising.

Advertising rules were based on "letter sizing", this rule was impractical to enforce because measuring became too complex an issue. The amended rule stipulates that, "a salesperson or associated broker will be considered in compliance with the License Law Advertising Regulation, if the name of their broker or company is prominently enough displayed that it can be read and understood.

Easy enough! Advertisements should include your brokers name or company name so that it is easily understood by the public, what company or broker you are affiliated with and whom you are accountable to. Very clear, very simple. I hope future Georgia laws will be as simple.

This fishing spot is located right next to the VFW. Park up top, grab a rod and reel or your favorite cane Pole, tie on a worm and press your luck. Or go up the street a few hundred yards and put in your boat at Rotary Park.

From this public boat landing at Rotary Park you could take a long boat ride all the way to the Gulf. If you don't want to spend that much time on the water, take a walk or have lunch at the adjoining park.

Easy access from the Columbus, Ironworks Convention and Trade Center.

This is the same spot as above, but facing North. The Railroad Bridge is still in use and the Dillingham Bridge.

Fish, bicycle, roller skate, walk or just sit around the Columbus Ga River Walk.

The River Walk is a fantastic place to enjoy the day or a lunch hour.
