• Sep. 17, 2008 - Voter Registration deadlines are fast approaching!
In the State of GA, the deadline to register to vote in the upcoming November elections is October 6th. With the unprecedented Presidential election this year, I hope every one of us will encourage anyone we know not registered to vote to make their application within the next couple of weeks. I am placing a link below that Georgia residents can go to for registration:
We all have our own opinions and political beliefs, and I certainly respect other peoples choices even if they differ from my own. Every vote counts and we all need to utilize the privilege of making our voices heard. In these tumultuous times, everyone needs to be involved in this very important process, watch the debates and try to make the most informed decision we can. |

• Jul. 24, 2008 - The Credit Score Mystery
Certainly a credit score is becoming increasingly more important today with credit availability tightening. Credit information doesn’t seem to be an “exact” science and depends a lot on who pulls it up, i.e., (auto dealer, bank, credit card company, etc.) But basically a score of at least 720 is needed to get a viable interest rate for a home mortgage in today’s market.
Many people are under the mistaken impression that credit scores are largely tied to your income, but that isn’t accurate. Your credit score is a number assigned to how well you have repaid your debts to indicate your creditworthiness for new debt. Certainly we need to take care with credit cards and not max out credit limits, but interestingly enough an individual with no credit cards is rated as a higher risk than someone who has a history of managing their credit cards responsibly. Your credit score can definitely be increased given some time and making your payments on time, every time. Your diligent handling of your current debts will pay off with better rates on future debts.
You can easily obtain a credit report from https://www.annualcreditreport.com and also go to http://www.myfico.com to read more information about your credit score and for tips and other resources available. I would encourage you to be apprised of where you stand and keep a watchful eye on the credit information others may have their eyes on when you apply for credit. |

• Jun. 9, 2008 - For the Golf Aficionado, the Golden Isles of GA is Tops!
If you search for golf in the State of GA, you will find on the site featured below of the 7 “hot spots” they make mention of, 4 of the 7 places are in Glynn County, Georgia!
Whether or not it’s an exclusive and private course such as you’ll find on Sea Island or one of the municipal courses available on the mainland in Brunswick, the choices for your game are varied and should prove an interesting golfing holiday. With Father’s Day coming up on the 15th, what better gift for that golfing enthusiast could you find?
If you need any information on planning a visit to the Golden Isles, please give me a call. I’m always excited to share the Beachcomber Lifestyle with new friends.  |

• May. 13, 2008 - Mother Nature intruded on some Local's Mother's Day Plans
This Mother’s Day morning arrived with tornado warnings for the area that actually did happen that Sunday afternoon. A tornado touched down in areas of St. Simons and Brunswick and did significant property damage, but thankfully no serious injuries or deaths as a result. Again, the Golden Isles of GA seems to live a charmed existence!
We only experienced power outages at my home and business, but some residents must be on the phone with their insurance company’s adjuster this morning! My assistant said she was in nearby Camden County by a friend’s pool without any evidence of bad weather or wind.
Today is another beautiful Spring day--- lovely, clear skies and a delightful ocean breeze. |

• Mar. 4, 2008 - For Quality Healthcare, Glynn County Has It Covered
Just this past weekend, our office entered into a local chili cook-off competition in the Village on St. Simons Island. I met one of the other competitors who had a booth right down from us who is the Head Chef at the Brunswick hospital known as Southeast Georgia Health System. On Sunday I read the weekend local newspaper which featured our hospital and the remarkable turnaround and the vast improvements in the last few years. In 2004, our facility was named Hospital of the Year in the large hospital category (151 or more beds) by the Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals. In addition to the Brunswick facility, there are also health care systems in 3 adjacent counties to further serve the region.
Certainly, when considering a place to reside the ability to obtain quality health care is very important. If you or a friend or family members are considering a move to St. Simons or the Glynn County area, your health care needs should be accessible right here. Come check us out at your earliest opportunity! |
