Helen, GA

Don't miss the evenings in northeast Georgia this time of year. The sun reflecting through the golden oak leaves into the house is something to behold. It only lasts a few minutes and if you miss it, you missed it until next year. Yes there will be a golden reflection tomorrow, but not quite the same, some of the leaves will have fallen to the ground and lie there in splendor, waiting to replenish the earth. Driving in Helen, Cleveland, Batesville, Lake Burton, Clarkesville and Sautee-Nacoochee is an unforgettable experience. The driveways, yards, and roads have literally hundreds of leaves blanketing the surfaces. The winds clear the roads from time to time, but more leaves fall and the cycle begins anew.

Life's Golden moments, don't miss them. Every day, every where, there is a Golden moment, you only have to look. Stop and look for your golden moment. It can be a precious sight of children, birds, leaves, wind or rain, but it is free. It costs you nothing except a little less stress, to breath deeply and enjoy what is here for you today. Take some time to reflect, did you enjoy any golden moments today? If not, make it a point to enjoy at least one golden moment tomorrow. They are here and gone quickly!

Our area is so blessed with beautiful moments, enjoy the rural feeling and the chance to be a part of Helen. There is not a better time to buy!

If you did not make it to Helen Ga, or the foothill of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in northeast Georgia, we missed you. And you missed a beautiful showing of color. What a difference a week makes, things are beginning to look a little shop worn here now. The leaves are falling fast, but the brillant color has faded a bit! Now it seems as though we are having a little colder weather than usual for this time of year, so who knows perhaps this year we will get snow! Snow always brings in the Atlanta crowd, especially if the weather wizards predict it! Now that prediction does not make it ture, but nobody wants to miss it, so everyone heads to Helen! All four seasons are beautiful here! You can't choose a better place to live. Why wait, start your home search here now. You can opt for a vacation home, or land to build a retirement home later!! We still have some great loans available in this area. Contact me and I will put you in touch with the local lender who can give you all the details! www.FlynnTaylor.com for your dream home..just try it! See you soon?

If you have been listening to the news, the lending institutions are gearing up to help the homeowner in distress so they will not have to foreclose on these properties. This will change our market in all probability. If you are a prospective purchaser and have been thinking about picking up a foreclosure or two, you might want to hurry! It seems the lending institutions will have a change of heart here and start helping out the homeowners instead of taking back the homes. This will certainly have an effect on short sales and foreclosures and consequently bank owned properties. Now Foreclosures, short sales and reos have been a lucrative market for some in the past few years. We have agents who specialize in these sales. We have companys who charge big bucks to train agents to get and sell these properties. We have attorneys who specialize in these proceedings. We have investors who thrive in picking up these "deals". We have contractors who purchase these properties at a low price and use their sweat equity to fix up and resell these properties. We have internet sites that deal only with these homes. We have auctions and people coming from all over to purchase a 700,000 home for 250,000. If the lenders to what they say they are going to do, help out the owners with affordable loan rates, there will be great changes all across the board. Once this starts it will be too late to get in on the "deals". Then comes the domino effect...sellers who were not quite ready to lose their homes or investment properties begin to rethink their positions. They decide that perhaps their homes are worth a little more, so they are not so willing to negotiate...after all their chief competition, the foreclosures are not so plentiful...and so it goes.

Yes, there will always be foreclosures, Virginia! But no the prices will not be as good as they are now. If you want to purchase a property in Helen, Lake Burton, Sautee, Batesville, Cleveland, Clarkesville or any other northeast Georgia area, now is the time. Contact me for more information, Flynn@FlynnTaylor.com, or visit my site www.FlynnTaylor.com. Hope to see you soon!

This weekend was gorgeous. Some of the Maples are still wonderul, and the Bradford Pears are just beginning to be glorious.

This fall has been about as good as it gets! If you missed it this year, plan for coming up as soon as you can, we have lots of things in the works for the holidays.
