 Code violations, 3 years of Vacancy, REO property? Linda received a REO assignment from the Bank; she researched the property on the County records to searching the county records Linda discovered the sale took place 3 years ago. As a seasoned REO broker she expected the property to be vacant (as the bank has indicated) and property condition to be poor to fair. In a period of three years of weather related issues and the fact that no one has been maintaining or preserving the asset, she expected the worst. She drove to the property which was located a 10 minute drive from her office; upon arriving at the single family residential property she could not see the house at street level. The weeds and landscaping was growing for the entire summer, it literally looked like a jungle in the m... 07/08/2013

  Someone once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. Surround yourself only with people who make you laugh and love you. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy!! Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." Being alive is a gift, being happy is by choice!! 11/28/2011

  Prattville Local Events: It's Time For the Autauga County Fair! The taste of deep fried butter.  The smell of corn dogs and caramel apples.  The feel of the wind in your face riding the tilt-a-whirl.  The sound of carnival music and children laughing.  Watching the judging of a cake baking contest.  Cheering at a kid's cow milking contest.  Dancing to the music of local bands.  What does all that remind you of? The fair!  It's time once again for the Autauga County Fair!  And it looks like this year's fair is going to be the best ever!   This year the Autauga County Fair will be held October 4th - 8th.  The location is Mac Gray Park, which is on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive across from Prattville Junior High School.  Admission to the fair is $3.00 for ages 4 and up, and armbands are a... 10/04/2011

Remembering the Prattville Tornado - February 17, 2008   It's just three years ago today that Prattville was hit with an EF3 tornado, with winds of 155 mph.  Tornadoes that strong are really rare here.  In fact, tornadoes that hit the ground are rare.  But when we do get one, we usually get EF0 or EF1 tornadoes.  Usually there are a few trees knocked over and maybe a roof or two damaged, but nothing too bad. But this tornado was different.  This one was about a quarter of a mile wide.  The Prattville East neighborhood, which is essentially across the street and down a little ways from my office, was heavily damaged.  Other areas, including homes in the Highland Ridge and Overlook Estates subdivisions were also hit and damaged. There were injuries, in addition to the property damage, but... 02/17/2011

Do I Have to Pay a Real Estate Tax On My New Home In Prattville Alabama? Part 2   In yesterday's blog, we talked about the new Federal 3.8% Medicare tax on the capitol gains you make when you sell your home in Prattville, Montgomery, and the River Region, AL, and we used an example to see how the tax is calculated.  Then we asked what happens if the amount of capitol gains (profit) you make when you sell your home is over the $250,000 limit ($500,000 for married couples)? That's where another rule, the income limit, applies.  The law says this new Federal Medicare tax only applies to people whose AGI (adjusted gross income) is more than $200,000 per year ($250,000 for married couples). So if you sell your house and make a profit of more than $250,000, then you need to look at your incom... 02/10/2011

Do I Have to Pay a Real Estate Tax On My New Home In Prattville Alabama? Part 1   There's a nasty rumor going around out there.  Recently someone started a rumor that soon every home owner will have to pay a real estate tax when they sell a home in Prattville, Montgomery, or the River Region, AL.  They claim that this real estate tax was hidden within the Federal health care bill.  They even called it a "sales tax." But it's not true.  At least, not the way the rumor told it.  While it is true that there is a 3.8% Medicare tax that high income households MIGHT have to pay when they sell real estate, it only applies to people whose income and proceeds from the sale of their house are over the limits that already exist.  There are two tests that will apply.  The first is the capitol gains... 02/09/2011

Montgomery AL Local Business Spotlight - Eastside Grille   Normally I write about homes for sale in Prattville AL.  But recently some friends and I found ourselves hungry on a Friday evening, and, being already in Montgomery, we decided to head over to Eastside Grille for dinner.  Eastside Grille is located at 6667 Atlanta Highway, at the intersection of Atlanta Highway and McLemore Road (map below).   Eastside Grille is known for their "meat and three" lunches throughout the week: one meat and three vegetables - tasty, filling, and very reasonably priced. But this was dinner time on a Friday evening, and I was thinking about steak.
