Still working on the details, but there are changes coming.

The end goal is to create more of a hyper-local news site. As we build towards that goal, we are inviting local businesses to post specials and information for Lilburn area residents. The real estate content is going to be ratcheted down as the other content is built up.

There will also be a few surprises coming… Read the rest of this entry »

Interior Decor is a HUGE factor in Gwinnett Home Sales

March 29th, 2010 Categories: Fun Stuff

If you’re selling your Gwinnett home this spring, it’s a great idea to get a professional opinion about decorating choices, furniture placement and even lighting options to make sure that you’re highlighting the best features (and minimizing others). We’ve been working with MJN Interiors for some time now & so I thought I’d post their information here as an easy resource. Ask for Michelle (and tell her I sent ya!)

Here’s a great testimonial from their website…

Hit the mark perfectly

We met Michelle during the redecorating of our family room (another “Must Do” project) with the expertise of a fabulous faux painter, an artist really, named Kass. Kass not only recommended Michelle she practically insisted on her and it was truly the best piece of advice we received.
We were so delighted with our family room transformation that in less than a year we decided to tackle our bedroom … with Michelle’s help, of course! We hired out part of the painting, did some ourselves but left the “heavy lifting” (i.e., window treatment design, accent furniture selection, etc.) to Michelle. I simply told Michelle how I wanted our bedroom to “feel” and once again Michelle hit the mark perfectly. My reaction was tears of joy and awe at the transformation and my husband said our furniture never looked more beautiful!

Michelle is a true treasure – she’s fantastic at her craft, talented, a great listener and one of the nicest people we know. We are so very happy that we were introduced to Michelle and look forward to our next project with MJN Interiors! We wish her all the very best!

Interesting article on where people are moving within the US…

February 16th, 2010 Categories: Fun Stuff

I ran across an article that parses IRS data on which states are gaining population and which are losing population. GA is doing pretty well on the list… only a couple of states gained more population that we did here in GA. Texas and North Carolina picked up more households than the 37,000+ Georgia picked up. The big losers were Michigan and New York.

The information was assembled by the AP from IRS data points. Here is a link back to the article. Read the rest of this entry »

Flashback Friday and the County Assessors facing reality

February 9th, 2010 Categories: Fun Stuff

: Image via Wikipedia

Last year I wrote about Senate Bill 55 in the Georgia Senate. Basically, the bill required the Counties to include foreclosures in assessments. Previously, assessments for taxes excluded foreclosures, so they (falsly?) increased values and tax revenue to the counties.

While that makes it tough for the counties, it is a needed break for home owners. The counties complained that they would lose revenues… well, the people are losing revenue, too. They have to suck it up.

In the last year, the bill quietly passed and was signed into law by Governor Sonny Perdue.

Here is the link to the original post.
