Bluebirds use our help for houses. There are floor plans available for the ideal bluebird house that detail the best diameter of the entrance hole and explain why it should be constructed from cedar material. You should also put the bluebird boxes in the best habitat and install them as soon as possible so that they can use the house year round. Bluebirds welcome our manmade boxes.

A REALTOR® can help you build or select your manmade home. In Arbor Springs Plantation we offer custom home sites that give you the choice to work with your builder to design the best floor plan and to construct it from the best materials. With the variety of lots that are available in our community, you can select the right lot that will fit your needs... on the golf course or on the lake.

When you make your nest, make sure you place it in the best habitat in Coweta County.....Arbor Springs Plantation!

The Labor Day weekend has traditionally signaled the end of summer. And although the calendar says that there are still a few weeks left of the "official" season, the shift from the summer to the autumn pattern of behavior is in full force.

The kids are back in school, football season has commenced, and cooler weather is returning. It's a time for enjoying the last hurrah of summer as the daylight wanes more and more with each passing day.

And although our first projected frost date in Georgia is still two months away, the gardens are winding down as the annual plants begin to suffer the consequences of "old age." The tomatoes are beginning to wilt and the peppers are covered with fruit that needs to be harvested.

Yet the period between Labor Day and Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year. I enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of the natural world getting ready for the long winter sleep.

It's a time of both preparation and reflection, and everything seems a bit slower paced.

And I like that. I like that a lot!

In Coweta County Georgia, a lot of the real estate work that we do involves the sale of foreclosed properties and HUD homes.

Lately, we have seen a disturbing trend that is driving both agents and their buyers CRAZY. After one of these houses is placed on the market, and the house is shown by many agents, and many bids are offered (sometimes over a dozen bids with most OVER list price) the house goes under contract to:

"Another Government Agency,"

What??? Why was the property placed on the market in the first place if there was no intention of selling it to an outside bidder? If the property was going to be purchased by another government agency, what was the purpose of the whole charade?

Are they allowing agents to waste all of their time showing clients properties, and writing offers so the government can ESTABLISH A MARKET PRICE for the house?

This stinks, it really does. Something needs to be done about it.

But nothing will.
