In a recent article written by Norman Cooper in our North Georgia News, he quoted Union County Commissioner Lamar Paris as saying this, "we have projected our 2009 expenses to be covered without a Property Tax Increase." Based upon a public hearing that was held back in December of 2008 where Lamar Paris went over Union County's budget for 2009, he also stated "...we are thankful with the economic slow down that we will be able to maintain our 2008 budget." This is great news for Union County Residents here in the North Georgia Mountains. Last years Tax Increase was substantial in my opinion so it is good to hear that our Property Taxes will be remaining the same for 2009. One thing that I also read in the article that disturbed me was the fact that there will be an increase of 3.3% for... 01/13/2009

Recently I received a call from a past client with alarming news. Unfortunately their new Georgia Mountain Cabin had been burglarized just before the new year. After talking with them and receiving an email with some great tips for detouring future break-ins, I decided to do a little research myself and I believe that I have come up with some great tips for you to keep your North Georgia Mountain Cabin more safe. I do want to say that Union County, Fannin County, and Gilmer County are among the lowest in crime rates in the entire state of Georgia. This is one of among many things that make purchasing a Retirement Home or Second Home so attractive, not too mention the beautiful North Georgia Mountains, change of seasons, the Rivers and Lakes that is far and above the most attractive.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Chad and I am nothing more than mere shredded paper waste by definition. I was created by holes left in paper, and I became famous in the 2000 United States Presidential Election. Now it is my understanding that there are many forms of chads, there is the pregnant chad, the dimpled chad, and one of my favorites and probably the most famous....the hanging chad. Now I could sit and wonder why my parents decided to name me after shredded waste, but to give them the benefit of the doubt, I am not sure anyone even knew what a chad was until the previous mentioned Presidential Election. I blame the good old state of Florida for that, and after beating my Georgia Bulldogs over the weekend, well the nicest thing I can say about that is ROLL TIDE! Read the re... 11/03/2008

The North Georgia Mountain region offers many waterfalls. One of the most accessible is Helton Creek Falls, located in the Chattahoochee National Forest just north of Neel's Gap on Blood Mountain. There are actually two falls here, an upper falls that plunges at a sheer angle and is the taller of the two. and a lower falls that is easier to approach and although slightly less spectacular, is still a decent cataract worthy of a visit. To get there; take U.S. 129 about 12 miles south from Blairsville. Turn left on Helton Creek Falls Road. The road is narrow and is only paved for about a quarter mile, so drive with caution.  Continue on the winding gravel forest service road approximately two miles to the parking area. From there, take the well marked trail only 1/10 of a mile to the Lower... 10/18/2008

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven:                                     Ecclesiastes 3:1 Fall has commenced its annual color display in North Georgia. It's always been my favorite time to take photographs. We have had a few years of drought so I am not sure how good the color will be this year, but I always like to get out and experience the change of the seasons. These are some of my first Autumn shots for 2008. In the south, the leaf period can be very long because we rarely experience early hard freezes. I have taken foliage photos well into December. But you never know what nature has in store, so you must move quickly to get the best looks at good color. I will be adding many more photos as time allows, and hope to describe a lot of the North ... 10/15/2008

So, How In The World Do You Just Get An Offer? May 29th, 2008Categories: North Georgia Cabin Seller's reVIEWS, North Georgia Real Estate VIEWS It's no surprise to anyone that we are in a Buyer's Market. I have been really concerned with the lack of showings that my client's properties have been receiving, there is no doubt. But what about those that are being shown occasionally? How can I help my client's just get an offer? 1. Price It Right! In this market you have to be priced at the lower end of your realistic price range. In addition to be one of the lowest price homes in your immediate market, you must offer more than the competition for less. You may ask, "what do you mean more for less?" Maybe you leave the refrigerator instead of taking it, or better yet, in new construction you... 05/31/2008

Short term rentals are big business up here in the mountains and a lot of folks want to know how to use the 1031 exchange program to purchase a vacation home.  If you are asking what the heck is a 1031 exchange program? Well to summarize without getting into to much depth, the 1031 exchange program allows the deferral of the gain from one investment property into another. The tax court has ruled that properties held strictly for personal enjoyment do not qualify for this program. The big question is, "Are vacation homes held for investment, or for personal enjoyment?"  The thing to do then is to differentiate your property from purely personal enjoyment, and cast it, or document it, as investment property. Here is some guidelines that will help you differentiate between the two:Up here ... 02/15/2008
