Our area boasts a strong awareness of the arts with numerous galleries featuring our many local artists who have landed in this picturesque area. Cheryl Fisher, a REALTOR® in our office, is pleased to invite anyone to come view her husband’s watercolor display at the Brunswick Library. Bob Fisher is the featured artist for the month and his work will be on display through October 31st. Perhaps it is due to the natural beauty that is so prevalent with the marsh vistas, ancient, moss draped oaks and sandy beaches. Nevertheless, for a relatively small community, you can enjoy local artist’s talents, musical concerts and community theatre.
A local group, The Island Players, has been bringing live theatre to Coastal GA since 1956. Their productions are held at the Island Casino Theatre in the Village on St. Simons Island and have given local talent a venue for so many years. I am including a link to the group’s website, if any of you would like to see what productions are planned and when. Their next production is Annie Get Your Gun beginning October 31-November 16th.

By the way, our real estate office is also located in the Village Area, and I would love to have you come by and check us out, too! We are so pleased to meet new friends and have area maps available. Our sister company, Beachcomber Buggies is right next door and the electric gem cars are a fun and easy way to cruise the Island.

I want to provide some information to show in the residential real estate category (that includes single family homes, duplexes and condos) the amount of inventory and the sales for year 2008. This information was obtained from our local Multiple Listing Service, so of course doesn’t include properties which are not in our MLS system.
In Mainland Brunswick and Jekyll Island, we currently have 1028 listings on the market as of 8/6/08. On St. Simons Island, we have 834 listings on the market for sale. Since the beginning of the year, 294 listings were reported sold in Mainland Brunswick and Jekyll and 177 on St. Simons Island.
Then there is the lot and land category . . .
To date, in the Brunswick/Jekyll Island areas, we have 508 properties for sale. On St. Simons, there are currently 308 properties being marketed on our MLS. The sold figures for lots since the 1st of the year in our MLS system are for the Mainland only 42 and on St. Simons Island only 11. These figures hurt a little to commit to paper and ink; however, they are what they are. Wow! With numbers like this, seller’s need for a good real estate agent is more apparent than ever!
With that said this is a great time for buyers to take advantage of generous inventory to choose from and decreased pricing from a year ago for some very desirable properties. If you’d like to discuss real estate in our Glynn County area, I’d welcome the chance to do so. Give me a call or email me and let’s look into finding you a Golden Isles destination.

It is a WiFi service area that provides wireless service all over the city. When I initially heard about the City of Brunswick’s plan, I only thought of the benefits of private citizens being able to get online for free. But the main stimulus for the City was to aid the Police Department and the Fire Department in better and more effectively attending to needs. Cameras placed at strategic spots can record live video streams and store the video for approximately 2 weeks. The Police Chief, Edna Johnson, was excited of the ability to see what’s going on while it was happening. Field Officers are able to write up reports without having to drive back to the Police Department.
Kudos to the City of Brunswick for investing in this system to keep our city safe and protected and even better, it’s something we can all use!

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!

Exciting plans are in the works for the 2-year program at the Coastal GA Community College in Brunswick, GA to be transformed into a 4-year state college. Currently the college offers its 3,000 students 3 associate degrees. There is a possibility of developing student housing and increasing the 193-acre campus to at least double the current student population. The hope is to enroll the first junior student in Fall, 2009 or the beginning of 2010.
Keep your eye on us here in this wonderful part of the world, we’re still growing in the Golden Isles of GA!
