Greensboro, GA

Lately, I have been doing a lot of work within the Harbor Club community on Lake Oconee. While there is quite a selection of existing homes available, the real deals exist in the price of lots of all types. On selected lake lots, owners will through in a golf lot as an incentive to buy. It's a great time to buy; don't wait to late! Call and let me assist you in purchasing one of these lots for your dream home.

Driving past my old home this weekend I passed my good friend's business just south of Greensboro. Dr. Rob Durham operates his Veterinary Clinic just south of Greensboro off of the Old Eatonton Highway. Recently, he completed some renovations and landscaping to include new fencing and two sharp looking signs at the entrance to the clinic. These new signs tell of a unique family history.

"Doc" Durham started his practice in 1938 after graduating from the Vet school at the University of Georgia. His legacy is commemorated on the sign shown to the left.

Dr. Bobby Durham graduated from the UGA Vet School in the 1960's and joined his dad in practice. Dr. Rob Durham followed in his dad and grandfather, completing his veterinary studies at UGA in the 1980's. Rob has since taken over most of the practice, taking on two more doctors to assist with the increased area business.

Whether you have small or large animal needs, you can certainly depend on the doctors at Durham Veterinary Clinic. Call the number on the sign below whenever you require veterinary services.

This week the Lake Country Board of Realtors pitched in to assist Habitat for Humanity of Greene County to construct two new homes just east of Greensboro, GA. Over the course of three days during the week of April 20th, various members from numerous realty and mortgage companies banded to together to support a worthy cause. Naming the effort Lend A Hand, the board plans to make this an annual effort. The final work day planned as a board initative is Saturday, April 25th. However, I am certain that many of us will continue to pitch in to support these efforts in our community. To check out the planned builds in our area, contact one of area HFH affiliates at the contact numbers below, or visit the HFH website at http://www.habitat.org/. There is a job for everyone, regardless of your skills. Come out and join the fun!

Good Morning

It is a bit of a rainy day here is Georgia Lake Country but overall spring is in the air. Prices have come down over the winter and buyers are again beginning to think about lake property. There are some great deals to be found on both Lake Oconee & Lake Sinclair. Today, however, I am going to point out some of the incentives for the Lake & Golf communities, Reynolds Plantation.

For Reynolds company homesite purchases:

One can purchase a homesite & membership for 5% down and no payments for 24 months.

• Reynolds will pay the interest for the homesite purchase for the first 24 months based on 35 month interest only, 95% LTV @ 6.5%.
• The company will do the same as above for the membership.
• A club credit will be issued when purchased for:
  • Lake - $15,000
  • Access - $12,000
  • Golf - $12,500
  • Plantation - $5,000
