Notes from Leigh Anne

I went cruising around Cartersville yesterday with my Girlfriend and fellow Realtor Deborah Hall. We toured a lot of subdivisions and saw a lot of construction that is coming out of the ground. I took pictures for all of you to see what we covered on our tour.

As of today, I've posted slide shows on my blog and my website. My website contains a bit more information about each subdivision than the blog so if you want more info and/or directions check out the subdivision tab on my website http://www.leighanneshepard.com/.

Remember, if you have a certain subdivision you would like to see on here - please let me know!

City of Cartersville Citizen Survey 2007

I found this survey on the Internet as I was doing a bit of research and thought I would post it here. It is current - responses were made after I-hop opened but before Chili's. It is rather interesting. The questions posed are where would you like to see Cartersville in the year 2030. Each response is written out. Many people ask for malls, more shopping, even free wi-fi in the downtown area. While others want to keep Cartersville small with the small town atmosphere, lots of green space. All seem to agree on the fact there needs to be a solution to the traffic problem! Click on the Title and it will take you to the survey so you can read it yourself.

Countrywide Buyout

Looks like Countrywide is the latest buyout. Bank of America Corp. has announced they are in fact buying Countrywide. The grapevine has buzzed about this since the first of the year. Countrywide carries billions in mortgages and were reaching a critical level with their foreclosure rates. According to Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, this could be a positive to help improve the current real estate economy.
