December 2007

• Dec. 28, 2007 - We're preparing our business plans for 2008

I am anticipating an increase in business for 2008 and want to be ready for what the market holds. We recently purchased an updated map from Glynn County which delineates the new developments that have been submitted to the county for their approval. Interstate 95 exits #29 and #38 show the greatest number of submissions for growth with numerous locales noted for expansion. Glynn County continues to attract developers and businesses with more reasonable taxes, the tremendous traffic through the Port of Brunswick and many retirees who have discovered our wonderful area.

• Dec. 18, 2007 - Here's to You!

This year 2007 has been a busy one for us with the opening of our expanded space for the Beachcomber Properties real estate office and the addition of Beachcomber Snow next door where my husband, James, is planning to kick off his beverage business in the New Year. 
 
I won’t deny the real estate market in Glynn County and the Golden Isles for 2007 was down some from the previous 3 years, but we are still seeing growth and I firmly believe that our area is a good investment for the future.  I have put “my money where my mouth is” with the office expansion and the addition of an office manager to assist the agents and provide contact support to you as my clients. We want to provide first-rate service to our customers and strive to be on the cutting edge of today’s market.   
 
With only a few days left before we all are snowed under with our Christmas celebrations, allow me to use this medium to express my sincere wishes for a blessed, safe holiday season to you and yours. I appreciate you all so very much and hope to hear from you soon.

• Dec. 11, 2007 - This Information Really Bugs Me!!!

I recently read an article in USA Today about the frequent incidence of bedbug invasion! The problem, according to the article, is due to an increase in cheap air travel to exotic locations where this pest wasn't eliminated and also the ban on pesticides like DDT which were effective and had longer lasting effect on the little buggers. Also, the name bedbugs is really a misnomer as they can live it cracks and crevices on the floor, behind picture frames and in your clothing in addition to your mattress and bed linens. Now that I have completely and utterly grossed you out, some tips for not getting them in the first place follow:
  • When you travel, take note where you leave your suitcase. A metal luggage rack would be a good choice.
  • Check behind a hotel headboard with a penlight. Pull back the linens and check for fecal stains on the mattress seams and ticking.
  • If you do wake up with red welts, assume the worst! When you return home, put all your laundry immediately in the washer in a hot cycle to kill them.
  • DON"T use a bomb or bug spray you can purchase at the local grocery store. Now is not the time to go to war alone. Call a good pest control company ASAP.

• Dec. 3, 2007 - Life is good and the living is easy!

I know some of you may wonder why I chose to send you our area's extended forecast, but yesterday a gentleman from Michigan was in and said he had already gotten out his snow plow. Also, the 2007 Hurricane season officially ended on 11/30/07 and thankfully our area experienced not so much as a potential scare. Georgia's southeastern coast has fortunately not had a major hurricane hit in over a century! So call me a wise acre, if you like, but again I say come visit the Golden Isles of Georgia and try on the Beachcomber Lifestyle for yourself. Life is good and the living is easy!
