I had the distinct pleasure to attend Senator Johnny Isakson's first official First-Time Homebuyer Workshop on Saturday, June 27, on behalf of the Atlanta Board of REALTORS®. With about 100 attendees, many potential, interested first-time buyers, Senator Isakson's staff thought the event was a successful first try.
With representatives from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), FHA, the VA, the Small Business Administration (SBA), and Mortgage Bankers of Georgia, as well as the Georgia Association of REALTORS® and the Atlanta Board of REALTORS®, attendees had an opportunity to learn 
about available loan programs, the importance of surrounding oneself with licensed and qualified REALTORS®, inspectors, loan officers, and anyone else who is assisting with the process.
In his opening remarks, Senator Isakson urged buyers that now most certainly is a great time to buy, with increased inventory, historically low interest rates and the amazing tax credits available on both the Federal and State of Georgia levels.
The current tax credits - both the $8,000 Federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers and the $1,800 Georgia tax credit for allbuyers (not just first-time homebuyers) - were topics of interest for many of the attendees I spoke to. If you would like more information on these credits and how they can work for you, please email me at Maura@GebhardtGroup.com and I will send you detailed information.
In addition, if you are thinking about buying your first home, please feel free to visit our website www.GebhardtGroup.com to search all homes currently on the market in the Metro Atlanta area. Let The Gebhardt Group work for you!

Today - Friday, June 26 - is Take Your Dog To Work Day, according to my HUmane Society of the United States wall calendar!
Since I work from home, I get to take my pooch to work every day - or rather, I'm lucky enough to be able to spend a lot more time with him than if I had a regular 9-5 job. And for that, I consider myself lucky! But poor Charlie! He never gets to get that special attention that he would get if he could accompany me to my office!
So in honor of Charlie and all the other doggies whose "moms" and "dads" work from home and never get to go into work, I invite you to post pics of your pups in the comments below - at work, at play, at rest, whatever your pooch does all day while you work! Post your photos so we can all admire your adorable canine buddies!
Charlie says, "Throw all commenting etiquette out the window and honor your favorite canine by posting his or her pics here!"
And since Charlie's idea of a "day at the office" is really more like a day at the dog park - here he is with his "office mate" Duke, at a Saturday morning "networking event." Here they are at Newtown Park in Johns Creek, GA - one of our favorite dog parks - right around the corner from home!
Have a wonderful day - and go play with your pup!

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
