New family comes to Ellaville, Ga.

Sunday, June 29, 2008

This past Friday brought a special pleasure to yours truly when I attended the closing of a real estate transaction in Ellaville. Sheriff Shane Tondee sold a house at 740 Ebenezer Road to Robert Kite. The Kite family will be a great addition to Ellaville and Schley County. Please say hello to them and welcome them to the community.

Thanks to Sheriff Tondee for making the house ready for the Kites to move in, and thanks to the Kites for buying it. Thanks also to Ken Wilson, Sheriff Tondee's Realtor, Debbie Simmons, Mr. Kite's mortgage lender, and Dewey and Cindy Gill for preparing the documents and closing the sale. Everyone cooperated to the maximum and made the transaction a pleasure for me. And at least one house in Ellaville got sold last week.

We still have a large inventory of unsold properties, and not enough qualified buyers. If you are thinking about buying a home, by all means talk to a mortgage lender now. You can still get a fairly low interest rate, and there are quite a few homes to choose from. I offer qualified buyers another incentive: their choice of a one-year home warranty or a Lowe's gift certificate valued at $400. It's my way of saying thanks for your business. If you have not already done so, check out two of my listings: www.343westwooddrive.com and www.236buchananrd.com. These are four-bedroom homes in the $150,000 price range. Of course, I can show you any listed property regardless of the listing company. Call me at 229-924-3089 if you are thinking about buying.
