It's no secret the Eastside of Athens is a fast-food haven, and as legendary as Taco Stand is, sometimes it just won’t suffice.

However, over the last few years I’ve found two go-to spots for when I want a special breakfast or a night off from cooking.

If you haven’t checked them out, or you simply forget to frequent these establishments, consider this your friendly reminder: Sweetie Pie and Preacher Green’s are worth the detour!

(And the owners and staff happen to be nice people as well. ☺️)

Marketing or Whistling in the Dark: Sealed with Lavender
I sent Valentine's to my neighbors.... and this five-page paper!
Struggles of a historian!

I thought it would be a good idea to say hello to my neighbors and let them know I am a Realtor in case they ever have questions. A little card and lavender seeds were my intention; however, the historian in me got carri...

Two homes under contract, and set to close this month! Grateful for my clients’ trust!

Here's the Q1 outlook from a trusted local, lender: steady rates and improving buyer confidence. As a full-service realtor, I’ll walk you from brokerage contract to the closing table — handling targeted marketing, professional staging, and coordinating trusted vendors so you don’t have to.

Want a truly responsive agent?

Sellers: DM me to book a quick call/Zoom — I’ll send your home’s value + 3 instant fixes to boost appeal.

Buyers: DM ‘BUY’ to get priority access to new listings and help locking competitive financing. ”

📱 What's Happening in Real Estate Right Now 🏡

Google is now embedding full real‑estate listings into search results including property details, agent contacts, and instant tour bookings, all visible without leaving Search. The announcement rattled the market and pushed Zillow’s stock down roughly 8% as investors assessed the new competitive threat.

Why does this matter?

- The real estate market continues to evolve. Therefore, agents who are leveraging multiple platforms (not just online lead sources) have the ability to win!

- Your agent's expertise and personal service can't be replicated by a search result

 - Whether they find you on Google, Zillow, or through a referral, what counts is working with someone who knows their local market

 - The industry is becoming more competitive, which means agents are working harder to earn your business… THAT IS GOOD for consumers!
