It's very embarassing talking to your customers and asking them if they have gas!! Here in the North Georgia Mountains we are breaking out the Appalacian Survival Guides. There really are no chapters regarding how to take customers around if you dont have any gas! We have all the information we n...

 It's Saturday night in Big Canoe, Georgia. Big Canoe real estate sales have been going up in the last few weeks and I am still seeing a rise in interested buyers.  With all this good news on my mind I started to daydream.

Hi Everyone, I'm counting on you all once again to lead me in the right direction regarding advice on a Contact Management System. Although I've been a successful agent for 3 years, I'm driving everyone in my house nuts with my current CMS. My system is simple, writing notes on envelopes in the c...

Today at the Big Canoe bus stop I ran into a neighbor that I have never met, Ellen. She had flyers posted all over her car regarding her lost dog, Sweet Georgia Brown. I recognized the posters because they were in and around Big Canoe. When I first saw Georgia's picture I instantly wanted to help...

Hi Everyone,I know I'm dealing with thousands of agent in my same situation. You don't want to lose a customer by shortening the home list but at the same time the gas prices are killing us! This is especially true in a market where everyone needs to sell something before they buy. It is very sma...
