mara hawks: AREA'S BEST HOMES_902 Floral St Opelika AL _Featured Property For Sale - 01/01/12 12:46 PM
This AIRPLANE BUNGALOW home is a design that grew out of the Craftsman movement in the early part of the 20th century. The Craftsman movement developed from the English Arts and Crafts Movement that left a distinct architectural legacy, that has withstood the test of time for its historic value and visual appeal. 
This particular style is characterized by the cupola effect of the second floor that rests like a cockpit over the two wings of the main level.

mara hawks: HELOC HELP FOR HOMEBUYERS - Bridging the gap & avoiding mortgage insurance - 06/18/11 02:48 AM
When I began selling homes in Lee County (at the turn of the century :-) I met Barry Jones, a mortgage broker, who currently manages the local office of  STARKEY MORTGAGE. Over the years, through thick and thin (and thinner!), he has been my number one "go to" consultant on all things related to home loans and getting qualified. To this day, I continue to be supported in my business with his expertise, knowledge, troubleshooting approaches, and consistent, excellent results. Education packs a power punch in the way he operates his business. He stays on top of the ever-shifting and complex … (8 comments)
