And that also happened to be two months before my wife lost her dad Jack, also unexpectedly. And while we think about them both at family gatherings, maybe today ... [Continue Reading]

Approved For Your Loan? It Ain’t Over Yet….
A long, long time ago in a place far, far away….2005; the time of easy loans. You spoke to a lender and they pulled your scores, asked you some questions and said “you can afford a mortgage up to $$$”.

An Un-Insurable Home?
Well…sort of. I learned something new yesterday and I have to admit, I still can’t believe it’s true. We have a buyer under contract to close on a foreclosure by the end of the month.

Snow Mountain Brings True Winter Experience to Atlanta

Snow Mountain Brings True Winter Experience to Atlanta
There is nothing more pathetic than a southern child hoping and whining that they want snow. As a parent, particularly one who grew up in a "snow state" and who has the childhood memories of sledding, making snow forts, having snowball wars and, of course, bumper hitching , you feel like you are depriving your ... [Continue Reading]
