Why not now? Things are slow, sure… but if I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times… Now is a great time to get into real estate.

Anyone new to this business will tell you… there’s a heck of a lot to learn when starting a real estate career. Little do people realize that real estate licensees are literally small business owners. And being a small business owner, it is up to each owner to develop and grow their business. That takes time. Establishing and building one’s reputation is a slow process. Gaining the knowledge and expertise to succeed requires hands-on experience out in the industry.

So why not get started while the market is slow and the some of the competition is wandering about in semi-shock without focus, still wondering what happened.

To that end… I’d like to announce that we are officially enrolling for our next real estate prelicense course!

Classes start Monday, April 2 and we will meet Monday and Thursday nights with 2 full Saturdays. Final exam is currently scheduled for the week of June 12. Tuition is $525 which includes textbooks and a full weekend study cram session (other schools often charge extra for this).

This course fulfills the Georgia Real Estate Commission’s requirement for anyone wishing to get licensed to practice real estate in the state of Georgia.

See you in April!!!

Sounds odd, right? The Big TurnOff Event…  Well, the St. Simons Island Lighthouse is going to be turned-off (hence the name) on Sunday, Sept. 27th and apparently, it’s going to get a big send-off!

Why? Because our 150 year old lighthouse is undergoing renovations and this will be the first time since World War II that the light has been turned off!

The current lighthouse, built in 1872,  replaced an earlier one built at the beginning o f the 1800′s that was destroyed during the Civil War during an invasion of Federal Troops onto St. Simons Island.  Today, it is still a functioning lighthouse… but I suppose as of tomorrow, those big container ships full of cars coming into Colonel’s Island better be extra diligent coming into the Sound!

Hosted by the Coastal Georgia Historical Society, Sunday night’s event will be complete with entertainment and refreshments at the new Casino pool.  Should be fun.  I’m planning to be there!
