About Bartow County, GA

now and then you hear about a 203k loan that went wrong.

I'm not going to sugar coat anything here but most of those could have gone right had they been working with a "TEAM" of experts who know what they are doing.

A team is like a well tuned engine. You don't have to be an expert if you work with experts. If you haven't done a 203k before then look for a team that in place who has closed some. If you are a lender looking to do your first 203k call a consultant and use a team they suggest.

If you are a realtor and can't find a lender, call a consultant and get a recommendation. Call any other member of a team and let them help you put YOUR team together. You will gain experience from seasoned pros...

NEVER look for 'newbies' for your entire team. It just doesn't fly. Don't miss read this statement.. we were all newbies at one time or another and we all have to start somewhere, just don't start wit an entire crew of newbies.

Years ago I had just trained Carlos Jareque and he used a lender who hadn't done a 203k yet and a realtor who was a top producer at Coon and McCreary... a few months later I was asked to speak at a training meeting for Coon and McCreary.. I had asked if that agent was in the room and though she had cut her hair and died it another color when I introduced myself she gave me a hug... turns out she was their number one agent and when I asked her to explain why that award came my way she explained..

Mike helped us close our first 203k loan. We used a new consutlant, a new lender to the 203k, and he coached all of us and it closed in 30 days...

The thing we had going for us on this one is that everyone did what they do best and no one was asking what the other was doing, they were all acting professionally and it was a great group to work with.

A visit to Barnsley Gardens nestled in the foothills in Adairsville, GA is the perfect getaway for romance & relaxation. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, the manor ruins and surrounding grounds are steeped rich in history. This place is no ordinary retreat but a magical serene setting to celebrate something special or to get away from it all and relax!

This is the approach to the homestead ruins affectionately called the 'Woodlands' built by Godfrey Barnsley in the mid 1800's located in Northern Georgia. The manor style was clearly built outside of the the typical Southern 'Greek Revival' architecture. Godfrey Barnsley was a disciple of Andrew Jackson Downing and the manor reflected Gothic and Italianate design, very different from the standards at the time.

Daytime inside the manor ruins. Weddings, parties and intimate concerts are still held here. In the evening it must look magical with all the candles lit!

The large boxwood parterre was geometrical in design with serpentine walkways that wound through large flowering border beds.

The heirloom gardens Godfrey Barnsley planted and built for his beloved Julia are what first
attracted me to visit this extraordinary resort. It contained many exotic species at the time including this China Fir tree. When planted it was as nearly as tall as the mansion!

Above is a very small sampling of the magnificent gardens here at Barnsley Gardens. These are the true colors of the flowers, no color adjustments were made. The flower gardens were spectacular to see in person and the spacious cottages had their own unique garden and landscaping!

This photo was taken from a different angle of the ruins at dusk which was previously posted here. In the maze of boxwood is a replica of the fountain Godfrey had built for his wife. After her death he tried to find solace wandering the gardens and it's here he stated she came to him in an apparition. The manor was not finished yet and she encouraged him to finish building their 'Woodlands' homestead dream.

This photo on the left was taken standing inside the front foyer looking out at the formal boxwood parterre. The next picture is of my husband standing by the arbor and side perennial bed and path that leads down to the bog pond.

Barnsley Gardens Resort has it all for you to enjoy in lush setting. Whether you want to enjoy a ride through the hills on horseback, spend an afternoon clay shooting, master a round of golf, learn to fly fish, hike through the trail, take a magical walk through the manor ruins and heirloom gardens, cool off with a dip in the pool, fancy a spa visit or treat yourself to fabulous meals it’s all here waiting for you!
