Commercial: CU of GA STORY 1: Women Indicted in Cherokee County Accused of Multi-State Shoplifting Operation A Cherokee County grand jury has indicted Claudia Hornea, 33, from Edmonds, Washington, and Daiana Anna-Maria Ionita, 17, from Fort Worth, Texas, for their alleged involvement in a multi-state shoplifting operation. The duo is accused of pilfering over $100,000 worth of merchandise from Target stores across four states. Their charges encompass violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. From September 1 to October 17, the women reportedly stole a variety of products ranging from skincare items and electronic devices to baby formula. Their alleged modus operandi included concealing goods in boxes and utilizing the aid of juveniles and accomplices. Hornea is now detained in Cherokee County jail, while Ionita has been apprehended elsewhere. It's also worth noting that Hornea is currently sought after in three different jurisdictions within Alabama. STORY 2: Cherokee County Urges Drivers Not to Use Neighborhood as Detour The intersection at Fate Conn Road and Heard Road, located near Canton, will remain closed until March 1 to facilitate roundabout construction. In response, Cherokee County officials are actively advising motorists not to use the adjacent Park Village Neighborhood as a shortcut. Official detour signs have been erected, directing traffic towards Lower Bethany Road and Old Highway 5. This initiative is designed to maintain safety for drivers, local residents, and the construction crew working on the project. For any queries or additional information about the detour, individuals are encouraged to reach out to the Cherokee County Roadway Capital Program at 678-493-6077. STORY 3: Cherokee County School Board Taps New Superintendent In a recent development, Dr. Mary Elizabeth Davis has been officially appointed as the new Superintendent of the Cherokee County School District (CCSD). The school board's decision, taken on February 15, 2024, was a close one, with a 4-3 vote in favor of her appointment. Davis, who has been serving as the Superintendent of Henry County Schools, emerged as the sole candidate for the position on January 31. Her selection, however, has drawn varied responses from board members and the community at large. Advocates for Davis highlight her proven ability to enhance student achievement, while critics voice apprehensions about her leadership style and previous performance. Regardless of these differing views, the school board moved forward with the appointment, reinforcing the meticulousness of their selection process. Davis is expected to assume her position soon, taking over from the retiring Superintendent Brian Hightower. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

STORY 5: Hufstetler's Tax Cap Bill Clears Georgia Senate The Georgia State Senate has officially passed the Save Our Homes bill, SB 349, with a significant majority vote of 42 to 7. This legislation, sponsored by Sen. Chuck Hufstetler, is designed to cap annual property tax increases at 3%, enhance valuation procedures, and offer much-needed relief to homeowners. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones has been a vocal advocate for this tax reform, addressing long-standing issues related to local property taxes. If this bill receives approval from the House and gets signed into law by Gov. Kemp, it will necessitate a statewide vote. Despite the bill's progress, it faces opposition, notably from the Georgia School Boards Association, which has raised concerns about how the tax cap could limit the financial flexibility of school boards. If the bill navigates these remaining obstacles successfully, it is expected to feature on the ballot this coming November.

The Real Estate Podcast has come a long way since the first episode and now it’s already in its 50th! In this episode, Jimmy Burgess talks about the top takeaways from the first 50 episodes of this podcast. Tune in and learn more! The Top Takeaways Chris Stuart, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Episode 3 Most times, agents are too busy looking for resources and other lead generation tools but in truth, that’s not what people want to see. Prospects and clients want to see you, the real estate agents. They want to see the commitment and how you go beyond in providing extraordinary services to them. Your ability to provide value to your clients is the greatest resource you have at your disposal. Grier Allen, CEO and Founder of BoomTown, Episode 11 While the speed of lead is important, it’s also critical to give the leads a little bit more time on the website. A prospect who registered on the website and a person who inquired about a property on the website are two different things. For people who registered, the ideal time frame for calling the leads is between six to nine minutes. For those who are asking about a property, speed is the key, so reach out to them within a two-minute time frame. Heidi Harris, Episode 41 Heidi Harris reached out to people by sending them referral letters. She got a phone call from one of the people she wrote a letter to in the past. Tony, the man she sent a referral letter to, called and asked her if she could help his friend look for a house. Needless to say, she went out and offered her service and she was able to close the deal two weeks after. Craig Duran, Episode 5 The basics of lead generation involve the following: lead generation, lead capture, and lead conversion. Knowing the basics of lead generation helps you find a way to capture the leads and be able to convert them into business. Price Rainer, Episode 21 The key to evaluating what neighborhood you should farm is the numbers. You need to look for a community without a dominant listing agent. Price Rainer calls it a fragmented market where there are several players with a little bit of market share each. Look for a neighborhood with enough homes where you can compete and win. Molly Slagle, Episode 43 Molly Slagle used her previous connections and that includes all those people who sold her various items in the past such as leggings, salon services, and other things. She went to Facebook and messaged them one by one and told them how glad she was to support their business in the past. Then she told them that she’s now in the real estate business and said that if they know someone who is looking to buy or sell a home, she’s the girl to call. Sarah Davidson, Episode 25 Sarah Davidson has a list of the top 10 people who are going to buy in the next three months, and the top 10 people who are going to buy in the next six months. She then focuses her attention on them and reaches out to them whenever a new property comes up. She pays attention to the people she’s engaged with and works to add value to them. Brad Dahler, Episode 23 For Brad Dahler, he thinks of everyone as potential buyers and leads. It’s his way of growing his database. Glenda Baker, Episode 17 For Glenda Baker, nothing accelerates credibility faster than proof. Being able to show someone how you’re going to do it and that you have done it repeatedly before is an effective approach. Todd Crockett, Episode 15 Todd Crocket uses pop-up parties on the properties to show people the house and let them get a feel of the home. It’s also a great way to network and socialize with other potential buyers and other agents in the market. Kristyn Nelson, Episode 2 Kristyn Nelson writes seven things on her to-do list. She numbers them according to priority. It’s been a good strategy to ensure that she remains effective even when she’s working from home. Karin Carr, Episodes 37 YouTube is an effective platform because it is a research tool and is owned by the biggest web search engine, Google. People don’t go to Facebook or Instagram when they’re looking for new homes; they go to Google and Google suggests YouTube videos as part of the search results. Chris Jones, Episode 27 The top mistakes that sales agents make are: not keeping a daily calendar and not knowing how to win. Without a calendar, you won’t be able to know your schedule and what you need to do. Without the ability to know how to win, you won’t be able to determine how to get in front of people, talk to them, and bridge the gap between you and the buyers. Chip Collins, Episode 33 Chip and his team do two annual drives - a food drive before Thanksgiving and a toy drive before Christmas. They started in non-gated communities where there were no restrictions and neighborhoods where their team members live. They also staple out flyers in the big boxes and they go by foot and put the flyers outside of mailboxes all the way down the street. The flyers have the information on their food drive, the schedules, and when they’re coming into the neighborhood to pick up the bags. There are a lot of opportunities to connect with other people in the whole process. It’s a great team-building activity as well. Neal Schaffer, Episode 35 Creating content is about being active on social media, offering value, and building up a great network. The goal is to become the go-to person in your community. When you put yourself out there and you give value to other people, things come your way. Mario Mitchell, Episode 1 Mario’s clients look forward to their annual review. They send their clients an annual review of their homes every year in order to stay connected with their previous buyers. Doug Edrington, Episode 9 Doug Edrington and Jimmy talked about where he’d be interested in investing money today. For Doug, he would invest it in himself to attend events. Because investing in yourself in making yourself better in the field means that nobody can take away whatever you’ve learned. Sometimes, it only takes one idea in an event to change the trajectory of the business. Zach Sikes, Episode 13 It’s important to have a sphere of influence. It can be your past clients in the community. This will serve as the database of your business. They are your referrals and most of your sellers will come from that sphere of influence. Brad Nix, Episode 48 There are four things that matter most to sellers: time, money, convenience, and certainty. Brad Nix taught his agents to ask what matters most to sellers and then they’d craft their offers depending on which of the four matters most to the sellers they’re talking to. If they say that money matters most, then the offer would include an escalation clause. There’s an appraisal gap guarantee to make sure that the money is going to come above the appraised value. If they say time then the offer includes having the freedom to choose the closing date. It’s going to include flexible clauses. If they say convenience, they won’t ask for any repairs. There may be a diligence period but they will be willing to take the property as it stands. If they say certainty then the offer means that they remove the financial contingencies, remove the appraisal contingencies, and other things. They make sure that the property the buyer is going to close is certain. “Top Takeaways from the First 50 Episodes (Must Listen Episode!)” episode resources Connect with Jimmy Burgess on LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as his YouTube channel.

In this episode, I speak with two smart and savvy entrepreneurs who come out of the real estate world: Scott Martineau and Brad Nix. Both have been agents who walked the walk, and are brokers who operate successful boutique brokerages. And both are cofounders of a new iBuyer aggregation service called Offerbarn.These aggregators ("Kayak for iBuyers") are popping up left and right and I thought it would be interesting to talk to Scott and Brad both, especially in light of my recent post on agents knowing that iBuyer is for real. They did not disappoint.So listen in on three guys just talking industry, iBuyers, changes, agents and brokers, and what is going on today in residential real estate.
