In March of 2006 Kia Motors Corporation made an announcement that was great news to Troup County and the state of Georgia. The Korean automaker announced plans to build a $1.2 billion automotive assembly and manufacturing plant in West Point, Georgia. The facility will be the automobile manufacturer's first plant built in the United States. Production from this newest facility is expected in 2009.
The anticipation, talk and excitement around town hasn't stopped since that announcement. Just last month Kia began accepting applications for approximately 2,500 job openings. Along with the Kia plant comes numerous other vendors that will provide support for this large industry.
New industries announced in 2007:
Total of 1,070 new manufacturing jobs announced
The local residents are excited about the new businesses and opportunities that Kia is bringing to Troup County. Sure, there are some concerns that 
come along with the growth we are about to experience. Fortunately, our county and city officials are aware of these issues and working diligently to prevent any problems.
The Troup County population is currently 63,245. That breaks down to LaGrange, Hogansville and West Point with 32,145. The unincorporated area is home to 31,091. These figures represent a 7.6% gain since the 2000 census. We have over 5,000 new homes approved for construction in LaGrange and Troup County over the next few years. With all the new jobs and development the growth in our area will rise significantly.
Where will the people come from? Based on the calls to our office I would say from all over the United States. 
I look forward to the changes, the growth, and the opportunities, just not the traffic! LaGrange is moving on up, so we might as well look forward to it and embrace the changes.
Your choice for an agent that provides prompt, pressure free service to buyers and sellers. Benefit from my experience and maximize your investment! Call or email me today and let's get started.
Born and raised in Thomasville, Georgia, I attended the University of Georgia and completed my studies as a Distinguished Military Graduate. Shortly after graduation I purchased my first property and managed it as a rental for several years. That was the beginning of my love affair with real estate. I proudly served ten years in the U.S. Army as an officer and helicopter pilot. Upon completion of my service I joined the corporate world in operations management for a Fortune 500 company.
First licensed in real estate in 1992 I have experienced markets throughout the country and seen the ups and downs of the markets. As a landlord I know the headaches and rewards of investment property. Having personally moved myself and my family nine times I can relate to the demands put on a family by relocation. For most of us the largest investment we will make in our lifetime is the purchase of a home. Benefit from my experience. Maximize your investment. Call me and let me guide you through this exciting time.
For the Buyer
In my fifteen years of management experience I saw daily the importance of providing exceptional customer service. As your representative in the purchase of a property I have the responsibility to carefully listen to you to fully understand what your ideal property is. Then my challenge is to locate the property that matches your desires. I will sort through hundreds of properties to narrow down the choices. I will obtain all available data on the property so that we enter the negotiation phase from a position of power. Then you may make an informed, educated decision as to what is best for you. I offer free personalized consulting for all homebuyers, relocation consulting, and a tour of our area.
For the Seller
If you are selling property my challenge is to market your property to the most qualified buyers in the shortest amount of time. I will provide a free Comparative Market Analysis that details what's happening with the market in your neighborhood and what your competition is. I will preview other homes in your area to ensure that I have the knowledge necessary to determine how strong your selling price is. Using traditional and non-traditional marketing I will present your home to the largest group of qualified buyers available. The internet is a great tool and I will make sure your home is readily available online for thousands of potential buyers. I will keep you informed every step of the way as we maximize the profit from your largest investment.
A diverse background in the fields of management, human resources and marketing has developed my unique style that has become the hallmark of my successful career. A written evaluation of mine from a previous employer describes me as "quiet excellence." I am not loud and overbearing. I am competitive, determined and confident. With these qualities I ensure you will get the most for your investment. I provide outstanding client support, education and service through the demanding task of buying or selling real estate.
If you are looking to purchase or sell property in the Troup County and LaGrange, Georgia area now is the time! The Kia plant and numerous other suppliers will bring many new families to the area. Don't wait until all the great homes are gone! Contact me today!
