For the last 35 years, local crafters and entertainers have gathered at Lilburn’s City Park to display their crafts and entertain the spectators and shoppers… For the 36th Annual event this year, it will be no different… and don’t forget to bring an appetite as well.

I would love to get some more local flavor into Lilburn Dwellings. To that end, one of the things I’d like to do is feature more local businesses. I have done a few local business posts, and I’d like to have more.
If you are a local business owner or manager, and you’d like to have your local business featured here, let me know. It will be free.
There are some great businesses in and around Lilburn, and some great business people. I want everyone to know how great it is to be here, work here and live here. Read the rest of this entry »

September 23rd, 2009 Categories: Lilburn
I wrote a post not long ago about how water (uncontrolled) can destroy your house, and how simple things like gutters and paint can protect your investment.
But this isn’t abut anything so trivial…
If you haven’t been paying attention to the news… or you aren’t reading this post in mid to late September (2009), we are having some serious water issues here in Atlanta. The words 100 year flood are making the rounds… and I have NO reason to not believe that. I have been here 20 years and have never seen anything like this. Read the rest of this entry »

Maybe… Maybe not…
Make no mistake, there are some deals in the market. And combined with the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit (FTHBTC), this can be a great time to buy a first home. Interest rates have remained low… despite a LOT of predictions to the contrary.

September 3rd, 2009 Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers
I recently took some buyers out looking at houses in an area with a lot of bankrupt subdivisions. The houses were, in many cases, quite attractive and priced very competitively.

Police Response time… 15 minutes.
August 30th, 2009 Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers
The listing said to call before visiting the home. The listing sheet said that the alarm code was in the lockbox. I called… the agent reiterated that the alarm code was in the lockbox.
