Yes, more trees have been knocked down on the Island. Now, I’m no tree-hugger, but there’s something a bit naked now when I pull out of the Shops at Sea Island (a.k.a. the Harris Teeter parking lot) and see nothing but dirt and construction vehicles where once I saw nothing but trees.
I’m told it’s a shopping center and one of the major tenants will be CVS, who currently resides next to Harris Teeter, but needs more room to have the now ubiquitous drive-up window for their pharmacy and their current location doesn’t allow for it. The photo above was taken a few weeks ago when the construction began. Below is a pic from a few days ago from the same vantage point, as I’m pulling out from Harris Teeter onto Sea Island Rd.
This construction runs all the way to the old stables, which is in the process of being purchased by the St Simons Land Trust and is visible from Frederica Rd.

Thought I begin posting weekly activity for the week from the information provided by The Golden Isles Multiple LIsting Service. Hopefully, this will be a weekly posting so anyone interested in what’s happening with the market can get a quick snapshot each week here!
While I realize that we’re in the middle of summer, it’s time to think about school again. Real Estate school that is. The Academy for Real Estate Education and Consulting is now enrolling for the Fall 2010 Real Estate PreLicense class set to start Monday, August 23. This course meets the Georgia Real Estate Commission’s requirement that any applicant seeking to take the Georgia salesperson’s license exam must take and successfully complete a 75-hour prelicense course.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Now is a great time to get licensed in real estate. Statistics show that the market this year is better than the same time frame last year, so improvement is being seen. Starting a career in real estate is really starting your own small business. It takes a lot more than passing the state licensing exam and finding a broker who will hold your license. Any successful business needs planning and solid foundations. Jumping in while the market is hot may sound like a good idea if you’re in it for a quick buck with no plans for success beyond that next payday. What happens when the business stops dropping into your lap like it did in 2005?
