  PLAY        HARD LIVE      WELL SMILE      MORE After the Suwanee Police Department experimented with the Segway last fall, they decided to move forward to add a three-wheeled personal-transportation vehicle to its fleet of "vehicles". Initially testing the Segway, which tops out at a speed of 12 miles per hour, the Suwanee Police Department settled on the Sentinel which can travel further on a charge and travel faster than the Segway. The City of Suwanee will be adding five (5) digital radar signs to bring awareness to drivers of their speed. One has already been installed, but not yet up and running, on McGinnis Ferry Road heading westbound near the Suwanee Creek Park.  These radar signs will NOT take photos nor be used to issue citations - simply an effort to slow drivers down. Upc... 10/07/2010

I must admit that it is a little difficult to get caught up in the excitement that fall brings to the South (and probably other areas of the country) when the fall festivals take center stage and the temperature outside is still in the mid-90's!!!!! However, Suwanee was the first in the area to kick off their fall festival this past Saturday.  To be totally honest, I did not go to the festival which is kicked off by a parade. It was just too darn hot! However, wanting to be a part of the frenzy, I did help in this year's first-ever Prudential Georgia Realty parade float. It was a somewhat last minute decision for our office to enter a float, but sometimes the greatest pieces of art are cultivated and created on the spur of the moment. And, better yet, we were the last float in the line ... 09/21/2010

The market continues to move along as "The Little Red Engine That Could"; "I think I can, I think I can." And in the end, I have total optimism that the Atlanta real estate market will recover and we will sing loud and clear, "I thought I could, I thought I could!" But the jouney up the hill hasn't been easy. We are seeing more home owners leasing their homes because they have given up trying to sell; or the short fall is too great they have no other option. And in that same vain, more real estate agents are becoming leasing agents. It is a new era in real estate and if you are in the business, you better be willing to be flexiable. According to Lawrence Yen, NAR chief economist comments, "Broadly speaking, sales closed after the home buyer tax credit will be significantly lower compare... 08/18/2010

Suwanee, Georgia is a town that has the big city small town feel. Located only thirty miles from downtown Atlanta, it has everything you could want from great eateries, entertainment for all ages, 28 plus acres of green space; to run/walk on nature trails, snuggle up to your loved one and watch a movie or concert on the lawn. Also, on those hot summer days you can play in the Town Center fountain, located within walking distance of Gwinnett County's best voted library. Suwanee is also home to one of the top rated school districts in the nation. Another great attraction of this town is that you are a few miles away from one of the largest man made lakes, Lake Lanier. Recently in Money Magazine, Suwanee, Georgia had been rated as one of the top 100 places to live and raise a family. If yo... 07/26/2010

The results for the Atlanta real estate market were mixed for the month of May. The number of homes CLOSED were up; and the speculation, of course, is this is a result of the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit coming to an end. And with the end of the tax credit we see PENDING sales are down. According to Steve Palm with Smart Numbers "under contracts for all single family declined almost 22% in May 2010 vs. May 2009." (June 20, 2010). The Atlanta real estate market continues to struggle. However there is, as you will see, a substantial dip in the number of foreclosure sales both in detached and attached single family homes (21% and 27% respectively). I still hear the buzz that banks are holding back, working on loan modifications etc. We are seeing a definite increase in the OH SO FAMOUS... 07/05/2010

These are are precarious times in our great country.  In my life time I don't know if I have seen such a division as I witness today. But I have faith in this - the greatest country in the world AND the people who live here. I believe we will move through these challenging times and be stronger for it.

I may be a bit delayed in sharing with you the the events that took place a couple weeks ago as Suwanee celebrated the opening of one more fabulous City park - White Street Park; but the excitement still lingers. Unlike any other of its kind in the area, this is a community garden. Many of us came together back in April where we drilled holes in the pre-cut wood - which would become our garden boxes, assembled the planting boxes, dug holes in the dirt, set the planting boxes in the holes, spread rock, filled the boxes with quality planting soil. And when the labor of love was complete, the excitement rose to a whole new level as we began planting our flowers and vegetables. In total construction of the community garden's 76 initial plots required: more than 500 volunteer hours 3.5 days ... 07/01/2010

Anyone involved in the real estate market in Atlanta had reason to smile as April 2010 closed out. While lag reporting is still coming in, the closings thus far in the month of April for  the metro Atlanta market was sporting a year-to-year double digit increase at 12.2% for all single family closings (stats provided by SmartNumbers/Steve Palm). So far it all looks good!  And there are some making the prediction that Atlanta has seen the bottom. And, I surely hope that is true. However, one compelling factor remains - our unemployment remains at over 10%. That doesn't bode well, in my opinion, for our real estate market. The First Time Home Buyer Credit has come to a close. So it has been no surprise to see the first quarter of this year......and, April begin to hit positive increases a... 06/21/2010
