Dawsonville, GA

Short sales, foreclosures,and specials are all words that make folks lose there reason and good sense. The only word that matters in a real estate transaction is value. If you are getting good value then the deal is good. If the value is not there then it does not matter if the home is a special, foreclosure, or short sale. So if you are out looking for a home the MAIN limiting factor you should have is value.

When you call us at All Mountain Realty that's what you will find. Folks call us all the time and ask about foreclosures, HUD homes, Specials, and Short sales. We tell them we will work with them to find value. Part of being a Realtor is helping to educate your client.

A blog this morning talked about having your values and using them rather than making your clients values your values. Now you should ALWAYS work with your customers wants and desires. But unless you have a client that wants to spend more money than necessary for a property then it is important for you to educate them on value

No offense meant to those who market as short sale specialists and foreclosure specialists. But I would like to see more marketing as VALUE specialists

It has rained here for 10 straight days and today looks no different. Maybe by the end of today we would see a yellow thing in the sky called the sun. In any event it has certainly slowed lookers and buyers for homes!.

Trying to make lemonade out of lemons, today I will sarch around for the best mushrooms for photos that have sprung up ! I have never seen weather like this here in the 23 years we have been in North Georgia

We have a unique opportunity here in the mountains. We have some good flat land for sale. We have a 9 acre tract at 10k an acre firm. This is relatively flat and not heavily treed. It would make a good horse farm. We have 28 acres 1/2 in pasture at 13000 an acre . This tract has county as well as well water . We have smaller flat tracts at 12-14k an acre . These are 2 plus acre tracts. What makes them unique is they are relatively flat and are good builds. For more information call us at 706 579 1098. All Mountain Realty is all about mountains. But we have some flat spots too!!

Every American should see this video. Please email and forward this to all your friends.

I've been feeling a great sadness because the death of Michael Jackson has been the headline on every news program for days and days. It doesn't matter if you are a fan or not, one would think that singing rock music and dancing is the most important thing going on in the entire world.

Give the man his due and let's move on folks. Are we just using his death as an easy escape from the REAL world tragedies? What does it really mean to you and me who gets the children or how much money is left or who the children's parents are?

Is this REALLY the most important thing we should be hearing about constantly?

Today after I posted a blog about my Patriotism, a good friend sent me an email with a video link that has moved me in a way that no pop star could ever move me.

Several weeks ago 3 GAARNG members were killed in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. This video is of the funeral procession of Staff Sargent John Beale, KIA.

He was the first Soldier in Henry County Georgia to be killed in action.

June 11, 2009 they brought his body back and had a caravan from Peachtree City to McDonough, GA.

Please watch this video A REAL AMERICAN HERO and remember why we are able to

celebrate our freedom.

Freedom isn't Free.

Only 2 People have ever died for you,

Jesus Christ for your soul and

the American Soldier for your freedom.

God Bless America!

It's that time of the year again. July 4th, the day we pay homage to Patriotism and Independence. Of course if you know me or have read many of my blogs, you know that I am as patriotic as they come.

I LOVE AMERICA!

I can't even hear the National Anthem without getting a tear in my eye. Ever since I was a child, my patriotism has been a real soft spot in my heart. I get a quiver inside just to meet and shake hands with a veteran in uniform, or place my hand across my heart and pledge to the flag. My graduation commencement speech was a poem titled "I love America", and I barely got through it without my voice breaking. Click here to read.

I'd like to think that all of us are patriotic every day, not just on July 4th. I usually start every day with a few moments of gratitude and being blessed to be an American has always been on my list.

I realize that the state of our country isn't well at the moment. We do have many issues and it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. But if you do some research you will find that America is still the greatest country in the world, and thousands of people every day do everything possible just to get here- legally and otherwise.

What does it really mean to you?
