"by Jennifer Beale: SCAD Named One Of World's Best By BusinessWeek

The Savannah College of Art and Design, the most comprehensive art and design university in the world, has been recognized globally by BusinessWeek as one of the "World's Best Design Schools" for its design management program. The university was listed alphabetically as one of the top 30 design schools in the world, all of which are noted for "present[ing] a snapshot of the nascent movement to teach design thinking and innovation to a new generation of global corporate leaders."

"We are honored to receive this recognition, which acknowledges the talent, creativity and ingenuity of our students and faculty," said Victor Ermoli, dean of the SCAD School of Design. "Driving innovation, creating new industry and communicating the role of design and business are key components in creating new businesses, developing new products and stimulating the investor economy. Upon graduation, our students are fully prepared to contribute in these meaningful ways."

The SCAD design management curriculum focuses on interdisciplinary partnership and the integration of design thinking in all levels of strategy, planning and management. SCAD students take courses in design, management and business and work in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. Graduates have an understanding of the essential role of creativity as a strategic advantage in business.

The SCAD School of Design, which houses the design management program, offers the most comprehensive programs in design education, encouraging creative thinking in interdisciplinary, collaborative courses. Fostering innovation and facilitating industry relationships, the school prepares professional, adaptable thinkers who will lead in the creation of a positive future. The SCAD industrial design department is among the most technologically advanced and forward thinking programs in the world, developing highly motivated, visionary students of design who create, articulate and communicate innovative solutions to contemporary issues in the global marketplace."

I will be holding an Open House from 2 to 5 on Sunday, Testing a new Strategy on this home. I will have a significantly higher amount of signage, leading to 601 S Williamsburg RD, in Savannah GA 31419. This property is in a nice quiet neighborhood, the pride of ownership on the cull-de-sac is remarkable. This home does need some work and could be one serious bargain if negotiated with the right strategy.

Right now the Grass is a tiny bit longer than when this picture is taken, ( when its raining here you just about have to cut your grass every week) but still has a very nice profile. Also at the Open House I will be providing a Free List of Area Homes, Homes that with proper negotiations, Instant Equity could be created.

Right now there are a whole ton of available properties that are at values unheard of, even 4 and 5 years ago. But of course that is not every listing in the MLS.

With my List of Area Homes, I identify some of those properties that have the bargain potential due to the condition of the home, or possible seller motivation.

This motivation isn't always easy to gauge, and with the right strategy, the homes with the most potential are identified fairly rapidly, and then can be narrowed down to the ones that will work for you.

So instead of spending all your time on the net trying to find the right one, Stop By, grab a list and you can start driving by the properties with potential, instead of the 5000+ listings that are on the MLS at any given time.

To receive a copy of this list just stop on by my Open House, This Weekend Sunday the 20th of September. The Home is Located off of Largo at 601 S Williamsburg RD, Savannah . If you need directions you can call my Cell at 912-507-8644. But more than likely you will be able to follow the big red KW signs.
