Lake Lanier Blog

Okay, so I am blowing my own horn here. There are over 1,200 appraisers as part of the 89,000 members on the popular real estate related networking website known as Active Rain...  www.activerain.com

In Top 25 of Appraisers on Active Rain  Yours truly is in the top 25. Click on this link to see!

This is a fantastic website for real estate professionals and consumers alike. You can search this site for realtors, appraisers, builders, lenders, marketers, etc., or for information on any issue that these members may have blogged about.

Check it out!

If you are not familiar with Active Rain www.activerain.com it is the largest real estate based networking, blogging website out there. There are over 95,000 members across the country and it is a wealth of information for both real estate professionals and consumers who want to know more about a given area and their real estate issues, values, etc.

Yours truly has made it to the TOP of Hall County and Flowery Branch on the Active Rain Network http://activerain.com/states/GA/counties/Hall+County

How did I get there, I actively BLOG about real estate appraising and the overall market, etc. The more you are ACTIVE in the RAIN so to speak, the more points you get.

I was also graced with the honor of being on the Active Rain Wall of Fame and invited into the exclusive group known as THEMTHEM. Only 900 members made it to the Wall out of 95,000+, so I am quite humbled and honored. You are invited into this group if you post alot of positive "pay it forward" type posts spotlighting others aside from your own business.

So yes, I am blowing my own horn here here on my blog...what can I say! LOL

Thanks! Have a great weekend everyone!

We were very sad to hear that Tim Russert died of a heart attack at age 58 on Friday, June 13th, 2008.

He is a great man, a reporter that no one could replace. He was one of the most sincere and trustworthy people in the media.

We pray for his family.......He will be sorely missed!

Great news June 3rd, 2008, agreement reached that allows the Corps to release less water down south for the Mussels. Now we need the RAIN...so PRAY for more rain and maybe by this time next year, we can get out of this drought mess.

Step by step we will get our water back, remember to keep conserving water and doing your part!
