I have some difficult news to share. Today, as of 3:45 P.M., the "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man of Milledge Terrace" is no more. He underwent a risky procedure to get cleaned up and fixed up. While the procedure was effective, it was also destructive, and now we must say goodbye. We will not point fingers at anyone. Especially those who recommended such a risky endeavor.
Stay Puft wasn't your ordinary yard figure for Halloween. He was a man amongst boys, a leader amongst followers. He saw us through a Rose Bowl, a worldwide pandemic, two back to back National Championships, seven Georgia/Florida wins, and nine Halloweens in total. He will be missed, but he will be remembered. As always, stay puft, stay puft.

Here's some good news in our local real estate market. It seemed to us that more listings were popping up this month, and it turns our we were right. Month to date, we are seeing more listings hit the market than the same time in April. Maybe this spring market is a late bloomer.

Six years ago, I asked local artist, Jamie Calkin, to do a mural for our office lobby that would help demonstrate our name and it ties into the geography of the Athens area. He was nice enough to share a video of it being made, and I think it was the first video myself or our company ever posted. Nowadays, the use of video is a weekly occurrence for our company and our agents. Still can't believe it has been six years, but I am proud to say it is still on the wall.
