Dear Country Club of the South Neighbors,
Like many other upper end areas throughout the country, the home sales in Country Club of the South continue to be sluggish. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, the national share of home sales above $750,000 has fallen from 4.4% in 2007 to around 2.3% in 2009. In addition, the months' supply of inventory in this price range has risen from 18.7 months to 41.1 months. While the current government economic stimulus has helped the lower end, first-time home buyer segment, the limited availability and higher interest rates have stalled the jumbo loan market. Unfortunately, most homes here in Country Club of the South would require jumbo financing. Jumbo financing is defined as any loan over $417,000, also known as a conforming loan. These "jumbo" loans now carry much higher interest rates, more stringent qualifications and larger down payments. Lawrence Yun, the Chief Economist of NAR, has stated that the bulk of the potential buyers in this price range remain sidelined and unwilling to buy a home and take out mortgages that carry interest rates higher than the conforming mortgages.
On a more positive note, Atlanta has been recognized as #6 by BisJournals as one of the top 10 cities poised for growth in the next ten years. In another study by HIS Global Insight, an international economics firm, has Atlanta listed as #2 of the top 5 cities predicted to recover first once the economy turns. We have already seen the seeds of this planted by the recent announcements of three major corporations selections of Atlanta as their new headquarters. We all just need to be patient,

I was pleasantly surprised and incredibly honored when, in response to an email I sent him, Allen Hainge wrote a blog post about me on his CyberStars® Blog on Friday!
Back in June, I took the CRS 206 Technology class at the Atlanta Board of REALTORS®. I had heard great things about Allen from some friends of mine who are members of his CyberStars® group and was so excited to take the course. Allen really knows his stuff!
After implementing one particular tool Allen told us about in class - Issuu.com, a FREE website that allows you to create e-zines - I emailed Allen to thank him and show him the team brochure I created.
Next thing I know, I'm on Allen's blog!
Allen was generous enough to take my email and create a blog post about it - thereby giving me mention on his site (something I never thought would happen) and linking to my site and my brochure. That's the kind of generosity our industry needs more of! It goes to show you, when you help others, they will in turn help you; when you share with others, they will share with you.
I can't say enough great things about Allen as an instructor and now as a friend (and not just a Facebook friend)! I highly recommend Allen's CRS 206 class to anyone who hasn't taken it - or to anyone who hasn't taken it in a few years! There have been so many new tools in the past few years - it's worth taking again! Call you local Board and ask them to offer CRS 206 and ask for Allen Hainge to be your instructor!
And of course, if you want to see why you should take this course and why you should ask for Allen, simply subscribe to his e-newsletter. Some of the best business tech tips delivered right to your Inbox!

I wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on handling the sale of our home (in Country Club of the South). I have sold 7 homes and this was one of the best experiences we have had with selling real estate. The entire reason is because of how professionally you handled the entire transaction from beginning to end. ~ Bob Hasty
Thank you for the very professional way you handled the listing and selling of our son Jim's home in Cumming, GA. Jim had used other Realtors but none of them treated him with the respect and guidance you provided. Your feedback system is a great tool and we never had to guess what potential buyers thought of the property; you kept us informed and negotiated a sales price that was more than we expected to receive in such a tough market. I would tell anyone who wanted to buy or sell a home to call you FIRST! ~ Donna Hanrahan
Pam is a highly competent Realtor with a great sense for the area. She is extremely professional and has more patience than one can imagine (I had to drag her through at least 125 houses or more). She is highly responsive and is a great communicator- everything you'd ever want in a Realtor. I'm convinced that Pam was not focused on just finding us a house-she wanted to help us find a home. ~ Jeff Barna
It is a rare exception when I take the time to write a complimentary letter to recognize a professional such as yourself, but felt that your work representing me, both as a seller...and then a buyer, warrants such action on my part... I want to applaud your total dedication and professionalism. You make me always feel that I was your only client, although I know you had many others. You invested your time above and beyond what was expected, dealt with me honestly and worked on my behalf at all times. For that I thank you. You're the best of the best! ~ Nick Pierce
[Pam] goes the extra mile...no, ten miles! She services each client as if YOU are her ONLY client. It is a rare, wonderful and refreshing experience to have the opportunity to recognize superior performance and to say "Thank You" for the pleasure of our experience working with Pam to both buy and sell my home. ~ Trent Tetterton
We've owned a number of homes, in many areas of the country, so we've dealt with many Realtors. You rank right at the top. You were professional, helpful and knowledgeable. ~ S. Michael Sharp, Ph.D.
We felt you did a wonderful job in helping us get the house ready for the market and in preparing all the advertising materials. You were always there for me, by phone and in person. I can't thank you enough for your assistance and personal support. ~ Barb Alderson
