Greetings!
September ... the month where football begins in earnest, cooler temperatures with lower humidity prevail and fall festivals are in abundance. You will find some great links at the bottom of the newsletter to help you celebrate the emerging fall season.
In August I attended the Southeast Residential Trade Show and had the pleasure of hearing Mark Toro, founder of NAP and developer of both Atlantic Station and Avalon, speak about
The Key Ingredients to Creating a Community
. I found his presentation inspiring and it underscored why "mixed use developments" have become so popular and consumers are paying a premium to live there. My favorite quote:
"
When I walk out my front door I’m already where I’m going…"
And on that note, I have included some interesting articles on commuting in Atlanta. Did you know that
Atlanta drivers lose approximately 484 days in their lifetime to rush hour(s)?!
After
you read that kind-of-depressing article, check out the links I have included to make your commute a little better. Hopefully.
As we transition into a new season, you might know of someone that wants to make a transition of their own. Some are downsizing, some are moving to a larger home, and for others it means transitioning from renting to owning. If you or someone you know are thinking about a Fall move, I would love to have a conversation with you. Call me and I'll buy you a
Pumpkin Spice Latte
!
