Easter 2021
It is so wonderful to be approaching spring after a long winter. The grass and trees are coming out, and warmer weather is on the way.
Spring is our best real estate selling time of the year. People are ready to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Many are being planting beautiful things in their yards and many are gardening, fishing, biking, playing baseball or golf, hiking or just plain walking in God's wonderful creation.
How one cannot enjoy spring is hard to understand. Maybe it is the pollen, which is the only negative to many of us at this time of year.
This time of year, people start looking for homes, land and home on land. With the market so strong, it is a great time to be a seller, conversely, the interest rates are low, so it is a great time to be a buyer.
All of us at Lindsey's, Inc., look forward to being of service to you, our clients and customer. We a...

CAT 4 Tornado and the City of Homes
Our thoughts and prayers are with all who have been adversely impacted by the CAT 4 Tornado that struck our beautiful City and County of Homes.
As I walked down LaGrange Street, Greenville Street, Alpine Drive, Woodbine, East Broad Street and Hollis Heights over the weekend, one thought came to me. We really are Newnan Strong, and everyone is pitching in and helping those in need. There has been such an outpouring of support that we cannot stress enough the wonderful fabric of our community.
The magnificent trees are gone, and blue tarps are everywhere along the storms path, but there is an optimism and a determination to build back and make things even better than they were before. It will take time, but the scars will heal.
One miracle is that only one person died during the storm. The EMTs could not reach Barry Martin in time due to the obstacles caused by the storm, and we lost a very fine man. Saying all that, with the killer tornado being a CAT...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021!
To say that 2020 was a very strange and challenging year would be an understatement for sure. As we approach 2021, we have the light at the end of the tunnel in sight. With a COVID vaccine on the way, we, also, face the wonderful prospect of no more political advertisements, at least, for a while.
Things should get better in 2021, and with that in mind, it is time to make New Year's Resolutions, as we always do. It is, also, time to set goals for the coming year. That is of utmost importance in real estate.
My New Year's resolution is to be kind to all and to show kindness even to those who are not kind to me. My goal in real estate is to help as many people as possible to achieve the lofty goal of home ownership.
To our friends, clients and customers, thank you for a great real estate year in 2020. It, surprisingly, was on...

Christmas!
WHAT A FUN TIME OF THE YEAR IS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON! We enjoy all the festivities, music, food, gifts, and decorations; however, sometimes we miss The Real Meaning of Christmas.
As I get older, I have come to realize that it is truly far better to give than to receive. I get great joy out of seeing the joy and excitement of others, especially my grandchildren. Helping those less fortunate than ourselves gives great joy as well. We can all make the world a better place by showing love and grace to others.
Saying all that, as Christians we received the Greatest Gift ever given in the b...

Thanksgiving 2020
Thanksgiving 2020
What a strange and trying year 2020 has been! However, there are so many things for which I am thankful!
Here is my list for Thanksgiving, not in any real order:
- My Family. As of now, all are well. Much better situation than 2019. We are so blessed. I am so very proud of all of my children and grandchildren. Each one has special gifts.
- My Friends. They have all been so kind and supportive of me and my family. Newnan is a very special place, and we are lucky to live here.
- My Business Associates. We have hung in there; and, have had one of our best real estate sales years ever. That is amazing with all the headwinds we have faced in 2020. Our agents and administrative assistants...
