Covid-19, or the coronavirus, has affected everyone and everything at this point. The virus has significantly affected how we conduct real estate here, in Coweta County. Real estate brokers, lenders, and closing attorneys have been deemed "essential services" by Homeland security as of 3/28/20. We are still listing, showing, selling and closing but the practices have certainly changed.

Realtors are conducting more virtual showings. This involves us using our phones, tablets, etc. for videos, facetime, etc. while we are walking through a house for a potential buyer who may not feel safe getting out to look at property in per...

The spring time is the best time to sell your home. More homes are sold from, the spring time to the fall, than any other time of the year (per GAMLS). Real estate correlates with both the weather and school year. Buyers prefer to look at homes when the weather is nice. Families prefer to move their families once the school year is over. Children are already out of school then and do not have to change schools mid-year. The last day of school for Coweta County, in 2020, is May 22nd. When considering the average market time to sell, a 30-60 day closing process, its best to list in the spring to accomplish a late spring or summer move.

The first day of spring, officially, begins on March 19^th. As a Realtor, we have seen activity pick up the last couple of weeks, in preparation for the spring selling season. Home owners have begun to prepare their homes for...

Looking Back at 2019 and Forward to 2020.

As we now look back on 2019, it has been an interesting year.

In spite of all the fights between the Democrats and the Republicans.

In spite of weather that was much hotter than normal and in spite of the tariff fights with China and Mexico.

We found that lower interest rates and a booming economy provided us with a fantastic real estate market in Newnan and Coweta County.

We saw a huge increase in home sales and therefore, in sale prices for homes.

Looking forward to 2020, we can expect more of the same because interest rates remain historically low and Newnan and Coweta County have become one the hottest real estate markets in Georgia. We have great medical facilities, super shopping, new industries and businesses, plus, we have a prime location on I-85 near Atlanta and the Atlanta airport. There is now much to see and do here, and our Newnan campus of the University of West Georgi...

Christmas 2019 at Lindsey's

This time of year we look back on the year and realize how blessed we have been. Despite so many headwinds, we have had an outstanding year. We have seen prayers answered and true miracles. We know that we should seek out ways that we can help the less fortunate in our community and in our world

There are so many opportunities to give back such as Toys for Tots, the Red Cross to help the devastated people in Bermuda, Angel House, Bridging the Gap, the AO House, the United Way, the Salvation Army, the Wounded Warrior Project, the American Cancer Society, and so many other worthy causes. It truly is more blessed to give than to receive, and we intend to always do our part to make the world a better place.

In our community we are fortunate to have Piedmont Hospital and the Cancer Treatment Centers of America available to us health wise ...

If you were in or around Coweta County this summer, you probably heard about the rezoning of the Caldwell Tanks property, off of E Broad St, in downtown Newnan. While this rezoning was ultimately voted down first by the Newnan planning commission then the Newnan city council, it was "the talk of the town" all summer long. You may have seen the "City of homes, not apartments" yard signs. You may have even seen a few "Well actually, apartments are homes" yard signs as well. This was the polarizing topic of Newnan this year.

So, how did it all begin? Kurt Alexander, with the Residential Group, submitted an application, for the rezoning of more than 6 acres located on East Broad Street for the purposes of renovating the Caldwell Tanks Site. The Residential Group, an Atlanta-based developer, was hoping to create 340 luxury apartment homes and an accompanying parking deck there. The developer was seeking to rezone the property from Central Business District (CBD) to Mixed Use Deve...
