Columbus Ga Real Estate, it is a Buyers Market Today! Since we are expecting a huge number of soldiers to transfer from Ft. Knox Ky to Ft. Benning Ga, it will not remain a Buyers Market much longer. My wife and I closed on an investment property in February. The repairs have been made and a potential tenant has looked at the home before and after remodelling. She is in the pre-approval stage and about to sign the lease.
We have been investing in Columbus Ga Homes since 1988!
Practicing what we preach, Real Estate in Columbus Ga is a worthwhile endeavor. I am certain that holds true for nearly every parcel in the country. Whether the objective has been to flip property for the short term profit or investing in rental homes, I cannot think of a better investment.
Yesterday I was showing property to a client and came across a fantastic deal on a condo in Midtown Columbus Ga. My client found another home she liked better and is under contract today. The condo has been shown to my boss (RealtorErika.com) and she is ready to make an offer. "Cute, cute, cute", was her response "and it is practically ready to rent."
It is an exciting time in Columbus Ga Real Estate. Ft Benning homes are being built continuously. Phenix City Realtors are busy showing and selling dozens of new subidvisions.
As good as it is in Columbus Ga, we have not been immune to the national slump. Sales have slowed, but there are gems and deals to be found. My clients have gotten good to great deals and now so have we. Buy a lemon, make some lemonade and share any of your investment stories or strategies!

Congratulations to William R. Blanchard the new President of Columbus Bank and Trust Company.
"Billy" Blanchard is replacing longtime president Steve Melton. Melton will retain the position as CEO of CB&T and Regional CEO of Synovus.

William R. Blanchard continues a family banking tradition. He follows in the footsteps of his father James H. Blanchard, who was president of CB&T from the early 70's until the mid 80's. He also retired as Chairman and CEO of Synovus. James H's father, William's grandfather, James W Blanchard was the President of CB&T from the late 50's until 1969. Like father like son, like son.

The comapny enjoys a good reputation and a respectable profitabilty. William R. Blanchard has proven leadership in Columbus Ga, his promotion to head Columbus Bank and Trust Company will benefit stockholders and the community.

I would like to compliment one of our fellow Active Rain members, John Tuggle, & Freedom Mortgage Corporation !
John is the hardest working loan officer that I have met. He makes house calls, He returns phone calls quickly. He provides automatic email updates of the loan process. He can be reached at night, on weekends and in Florida when he vacations. He provides service, service and more service. I for one appreciate great service. Thank you John Tuggle!

One of my favorite times in a real estate transaction, as Closing Day draws nearer and nearer, is the preparation for window treatments. In most cases a speedy temporary fix is mini blinds. The future home owners excitement is evident as they go from room to room measuring windows and wall space.
When I get the call to view a home under contract from one of my clients, I go willingly and freely. Whether it is the call to measure windows or show it to grandma from out of town I show it at their convenience. To do anything else would be cruel and unusual punishment. Just think of somebody post poning Christmas morning.
Here is another happy and excited client. Our discussion at this session ranged from weed killer to removing brick borders around the flower beds. The only better time is the celebration dinner after the closing.

This past week 23 single family homes sold in Columbus Ga. Fifty three homes came new on the market and thirteen came back on the market. (Disregard all figures to the right of the Single Family heading, these figures represent areas outside of the Columbus Ga City Limits).
What is surprising to me are not the numbers of how many, what I found interesting are the comparison columns of Listing Price and Sold Price. To me the comparison of these two columns tells me that the Listing Agents did their homework and priced the home correctly. My hats off to you all for a job well done.
