New Channel 32 (WNEG-TV) contacted me earlier today about helping with a story they're doing on the foreclosure rate in Georgia ... I agreed to the interview, and within 30 minutes, the news van was at my office and a camera was in my face (I tell you that so that you know I was totally unprepared if the interview seems incoherent).
Check it out if you get a chance ... channel 6 on Charter Cable, 96 on Windstream, and 19 on Comcast. You can also see the interview online after it airs (www.WNEGTV.com)
... from someone who's proud to be an American and grateful to be a small part of the greatest country in the world!
HGTV has contacted Atlas Real Estate Advisors to help them find Athens-Area BUYERS for their popular TV show HOUSE HUNTERS!

If you or someone you know is "made for TV" and looking for a home, please contact Atlas Real Estate Advisors for more details and an application!

If you're curious about why I haven't been blogging lately, the answer is quite simple ... PEOPLE ARE BUYING HOUSES AGAIN!
Somebody somewhere flipped a switch a couple of weeks ago, and we're back to "normal". Okay, maybe that's a stretch, but 9 new closings on the books has me pretty excited about what the future holds.
With so much doom and gloom in the market lately, the last few weeks have brought about much optimism (in my local market anyway) about the turnaround being closer than many feared.
There are still deals around every corner, so keep sending your referrals. Busy is good, but there's always time for more!

In just a 2 day period, we found the perfect house thanks to Matt. The best part of his service was his knowledge of how to execute the bidding part of the sale, and his knowledge of the neighborhoods in which we had an interest. Both my wife and I felt like we could trust Matt through the entire buying process. If we have the opportunity to recommend Matt to friends, we will do so with total confidence that they too will receive quality service and intelligent advice.

Matt was a professional throughout the home buying process. We always felt Matt was trying to help us find the home that met our needs, not just trying to sell us a house to earn a commission. Matt guided us through every step, making sure we understood all the details. We are thankful we have a Realtor who understands all the aspects of buying and selling real estate, and we were truly please with every aspect of Matt's service.

From start to finish, The Thomas Team was there to help us with every step. We found a condo we liked within one week, and we were recommended to great lenders, attorneys, and handymen. As out-of-state Homegain buyers who were unfamiliar with the Athens area, we now feel secure that we purchased a safe condo for our daughter to live in while she's in college, and we'll be sure to call Matt when we need a Realtor again.
