- 02/13/09 12:13 PM
In dealing with a recent transaction, I have become very aware of the dangers involved with Radon Gases in North Georgia.

real estate: Union County Taking Action To Reduce Emergency Response Time
- 01/29/09 04:31 AM
In an attempt to Reduce Emergency Response Time in Union County, residents may have to put up with a little aggravation. There will be more than 13,000 marker signs put in place throughout Blairsville and all of Union County. This means that your current address may change. “Boy, I am glad I didn’t spend the money for that new Address Sign Engraved with our Family name on it!” I am sure that this is going to inconvenience a lot of folks out there, but an aggravation that could even save their Mountain Home or even their own lives. There are 2 Very Important … (0 comments)
"Having purchased and sold over 20 homes around the country ... we have seen the highs and lows of the realtor world and Melissa and I both agree the efforts you placed in selling our mountain property proved beyond doubt you are at the top of the class. So many of the other realtors in the market just "show" properties and the striking difference with your approach is you actually "sell" the property to the other realtors & buyers in the market. Simply put you are difference maker in the transaction. As you know we made a mistake in not … (2 comments)

- 01/13/09 03:06 AM
In a recent article written by Norman Cooper in our North Georgia News, he quoted Union County Commissioner Lamar Paris as saying this, "we have projected our 2009 expenses to be covered without a Property Tax Increase." Based upon a public hearing that was held back in December of 2008 where Lamar Paris went over Union County's budget for 2009, he also stated "...we are thankful with the economic slow down that we will be able to maintain our 2008 budget." This is great news for Union County Residents here in the North Georgia Mountains. Last years Tax Increase was substantial … (1 comments)
Let me introduce myself, my name is Chad and I am nothing more than mere shredded paper waste by definition. I was created by holes left in paper, and I became famous in the 2000 United States Presidential Election. Now it is my understanding that there are many forms of chads, there is the pregnant chad, the dimpled chad, and one of my favorites and probably the most famous....the hanging chad. Now I could sit and wonder why my parents decided to name me after shredded waste, but to give them the benefit of the doubt, I am not sure … (0 comments)

real estate: Agency Relationships....Do You Understand Them?
- 03/23/08 01:58 PM
It's important to understand what legal responsibilities your real estate salesperson has to you and to other parties in the transaction. It is equally as important for you to know what agency relationship it is that you have with your salesperson or agent. If it has not been explained to you in a way that you fully understand, or you simply do not know what type of agency relationship it is that you have, if any, then you need to stop and ask before moving forward with your agent. I suppose that every agent has their own way of working with customers. I myself … (1 comments)
real estate: I Don't Believe It Has Any Square Feet!
- 03/18/08 01:49 PM
I will never forget that one beautiful summer like Thanksgiving day at Maw's house. We had just sat down for the feast, and then there was a knock at the door. We weren't too sure who it was, and after a few seconds passes by, my Mom asks me to go see who it is. Well, we had forgotten all about the sign in the front of the house that read...For Sale By Owner. Can you believe that my Grandmother's house was once a FSBO? Anyway, I remember the conversation between Maw and the potential home buyer going something like this... Buyer: Hello … (11 comments)
