Girasoles in Watkinsville, GA serving Mexican- Italian Cuisine, or least that's what the sign says...all I know is that it is awesome and delicious! Recently Amy Coile and I had the chance to visit for a fine dining experience in Oconee County!
A sweet hello from award winning head chef Jose Zambrano at table side and a special salad with a four dressing sampler started the meal off perfectly.
Amy had the shrimp and grits that had the best texture and flavor I have EVER tasted, while I had my all time favorite - blackened tuna. The tuna was served with a mango raspberry salsa that was fabulous and sauteed baby vegetables.
And although we were delightfully stuffed, we made room to share a piece of Chocolate Passion Pie.
So if you are looking dining options that are uniquely different, visit Girasoles (which means sunflowers in Spanish) on Main Street (Hwy 441 Business) just at the split of Highway 15 in Watkinsville, GA - you won't be disappointed!

Classic City Mortgage in Athens, GA - home loans made easy as possible in these days of economic turmoil. Although there is a lot of gloom and doom in the news every day about the housing market and how hard it is to get a loan, it's my opinion that a good mortgage broker is still worth more than their weight in gold. As a real estate broker, I have had the opportunity to work with many different mortgage brokers and I've had a long and happy relationship with Amy Anthony Coile of Classic City Mortgage. Amy has extensive experience, and possibly more importantly, the drive and patience needed to smoothly process mortgage loans even in a rough market.
Many of my past clients and I can testify that Amy gives straight answers and exhaust all efforts to get her buyers in a loan that suits them and will benefit them long term as homeowners. Recently, I referred another client who was very satisfied, stating: "I was so happy to move back to Georgia and you referred me to the perfect lender for my mortgage. Everything was handled smoothly, there were no surprises, and I would never hesitate to send any business to her." P.T. recent relocation to Athens, GA from CA. What more could a home buyer want? Just as value added freebies a borrower can also expect:
So if you are searching for an Athens, Georgia area home (or looking for the best mortgage refinance), I highly recommend you start the process with a call to Amy Coile at 706-559-4482.

Rosario's Trattoria in Watkinsville, GA - what casual Italian Dining should always be like! Does the photo below make you go "Yum"?
Tiramisu is my absolute favorite desert and Kim & Carl Burdette at the newly opened Rosario's Trattoria in the heart of Watkinsville, GA do an excellent job of preparing it along with many other fabulous deserts.
The proud owners love to share how their dream developed: "Carl and Kim Burdette had a vision to share their love of family and real Italian cuisine with their neighbors in Watkinsville, a bedroom community of Athens, Georgia. Out of that dream was born Rosario's. Created in memory of Kim's beloved grandparents, and especially, her paternal grandfather Rosario Vicchitto. Rosario's, so aptly named, offers a unique blend of homemade dishes from various regions of Italy where Kim's heritage began".
Rosario's features a cozy indoor dining area with tables or high backed booths, but they also have a great covered outdoor deck, perfect for Georgia summer evenings! Kim (above) gave us the grand tour! Good food & good friends...recently Amy Coile and I had a chance to visit Rosario's and speak to Kim for a few minutes. Carl was super busy in the kitchen preparing for a busy night ahead. Lunch was delicious and I had the opportunity to get some photos of the awesome food to whet your appetite.
Most importantly, "Carl and Kim's wish is for you to enter as strangers and leave as friends ...and never leave hungry" at Rosario's Trattoria in Watkinsville, GA!
Rosario's Trattoria Take a look at Rosario's Trattoria Menu. Plan a visit to check out this great new Oconee County, Ga restaurant soon - and tell them I said "Hi"!

Five Points is a fabulous Athens, Georgia community that has historically been one of the most desired neighborhoods near the University of Georgia. Five Points is know to be a "walking community" convenient to shopping, restaurants, entertainment and historically appealing homes. One of my personal favorites in 5 Points is Jittery Joe's Coffee (photo above) where "Each little brown bean is a labor of love". They also win my "Success Star Award" for "Best Adaptive Use of Real Estate". The Five Points location is housed in a former gas station that was (in my humble opinion) an eyesore. The building is now attractive, funky, fitting and a delight to my eyes! The community of Five Points borders the south & southwest sides of The University of Georgia and is home to many student rentals and many single family residences. The Friends of Five Points is a association of homeowners from the area whose mission is "... to further the safety and quality of life in the 5 Points area".
The Five Points community is also home to one of Athens Georgia's premier shopping districts. Visit Five Points to view a list of businesses with links and learn more about some of the fanciful boutiques, exclusive interior appointments, great outdoor merchandise and more that abound in Five Points!

With 5 corporate transfers through McLane Corp. in just 8 years, my wife & I needed someone to just "do it"! Michelle made this the easiest transition we've ever had. Needless to say when it was time to move again she listed & sold our home in record time with record ease. We've found a true friend in Georgia with this Realtor. Victor Lange I am so glad we found you! You were the 3rd agent we listed our condo with and the only 1 who did not list and forget it! We are excited that it sold and enjoyed watching you and the new buyer's excitement at the closing table. Great job! Nancy Smith Michelle has provided me with the info I needed to make good decisions about buying & selling rental property. As a new investor, I don't think I would have had the nerve to accumulate the properties that I have without her!
