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.

Development Secretary Donovan awarded a $14,540,363 grant to 11 grantees in Georgia. Muscogee County and Columbus received $740,907, to re-house families who fall into homelessness and to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.
The Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Program is intended to help those families that need finacnial assistance on a short term basis. Families who have encountered hardships that would cause them to become homeless or are being forced to live in a shelter or on the streets can now receive rental assistance for up to 18 months. State assistance is not limited to rent but can include security deposits, utility deposits, utility payments, moving cost assistance and hotel vouchers. Payment will only be made to third parties, such as landlords and utility companies.
HPRP has found that in many hardship cases a little help goes a long way to stabilize a family and alleviates the need for furher assistance.

Complete Realtor services in the Columbus Georgia, Fort Benning and Phenix City Alabama areas. I specialize in Military Relocation for all Active Duty and Retired Military Families.
Columbus Georgia, Fort Benning Georgia and Phenix City Alabama make up our TRI-CITY Community. Columbus Georgia was the first local government to consolidate county and city services to form the Columbus Consolidated Government. Consolidation sparked a period of change and growth. AFLAC grew from a regional supplemental insurance provider to a national and international provider, finally to a household word. Columbus is also the home of TSYS, a data processing company that services many of your credit cards. Total Systems has grown from a small basement and back room
ClearingHouse for CB&T, to an international PowerHouse. Columbus is growing and changing!
