In this episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we're delivering key updates and insights that every Atlanta homeowner, buyer, or real estate professional should know. First, we break down the Metro Atlanta real estate market performance for the month of June. Whether you're planning to list your home, make a purchase, or just keeping an eye on trends, we'll cover what changed, what stayed steady, and what to watch for as we head deeper into the summer housing season. Then, in our “Something You Should Know About Atlanta” segment, we take a look back at the remarkable story of Delta Airlines. Headquartered right here in Atlanta, Delta has become one of the most recognized names in global air travel—but it wasn't always the powerhouse it is today. We'll explore how this iconic company started, the role it has played in shaping the city's economy, and what it continues to mean for Atlanta's growth and reputation on the world stage. In our final segment, we turn our attention to a legal development making waves in the real estate world. A recent ruling has reignited lawsuits from landlords against tenants over missed rent during the pandemic. We'll talk about what this means for landlords and renters alike, what rights each side has under Georgia law, and how this could affect investor behavior in Metro Atlanta's rental market moving forward. If you own rental property or are thinking about investing, this is a must-listen. Visit GoGaddisRadio.com to submit your questions, suggest a neighborhood for a future spotlight, or just let us know what you think.

In this episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we're putting the spotlight on one of Suwanee's most desirable neighborhoods—Rivermoore Park. Known for its beautifully maintained homes, green spaces, and access to top-rated North Gwinnett schools, Rivermoore Park is a standout community in Metro Atlanta. We'll explore what's currently happening in the real estate market there, based on insights from SureMLS.com, and why buyers and sellers alike are paying attention. But we're not stopping with just market stats—this week, we're also diving into a surprisingly hot topic that's been making headlines and stirring up debates: gardening etiquette. Inspired by a pair of articles from Better Homes & Gardens, we're asking the questions many people have likely wondered but never asked out loud: Is it ever okay to pick flowers from someone else's yard? And is it ever appropriate to trim a neighbor's bushes, plants, or trees that might be creeping over your property line? We'll unpack the social and legal implications of these situations, explore how small actions can lead to big neighborhood conflicts, and share how something as simple as a disagreement over landscaping can affect property values and community harmony. You might be surprised at how strong the opinions are around these issues—and why it matters for homeowners and potential buyers. Of course, we also invite you to visit GoGaddisRadio.com to join the conversation. Whether you have a question, a comment, or a neighborhood you'd like us to feature, we want to hear from you. You can also subscribe to the podcast so you never miss a segment. And if you're preparing to sell your home or just want to explore your options, don't forget to ask us about our exclusive “You Get All the Upside” program. It's designed to help homeowners make smart decisions with the least amount of stress, offering multiple paths to success—including cash offers, listing enhancements, and home prep solutions. At Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we're all about helping you go from real estate novice to expert, so you can buy or sell your home with confidence and without the anxiety that often accompanies major financial decisions. Because you should never learn something at or after closing that you should've known before.

STORY 5: Buford man convicted of molesting 7-year-old stepdaughter, child's mother found guilty of trying to cover it up A Buford man, Javen Tyree Richardson, was convicted of molesting his 7-year-old stepdaughter and sentenced to two consecutive life terms, with 80 years to be served in prison. The child’s mother, Akilah Amin, was convicted of coercing her daughter to lie to investigators and sentenced to 20 years, with seven years in prison. Both are barred from contacting the child or her siblings and must register as sex offenders. The abuse, reported by the child at school, occurred in 2022-2023, with Amin offering bribes to silence her daughter, causing further emotional harm. Break 3: STORY 6: Rich McCormick touts extending Trump tax cuts U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick announced that extending Trump-era tax cuts, set to expire this year, will be Congress's top priority after the Easter recess. Speaking to North Fulton business owners, McCormick highlighted the economic benefits of the cuts, while addressing concerns over tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and uncertainty in trade with China. He emphasized the need to maintain the 21% corporate tax rate but acknowledged challenges in funding promises like removing taxes on tips and Social Security. Democrats oppose the extension, citing benefits for the wealthy and risks to social programs, which McCormick dismissed as "scare tactics." STORY 7: Federal judge weighing whether to extend order protecting international students whose visitor status was revoked A federal judge in Atlanta, Victoria Marie Calvert, will decide by month's end whether to extend the visitor status of 133 current and former college students whose status was suddenly revoked without explanation. Calvert issued a temporary restraining order restoring their status, but it expires May 1. The students' lawyer, Charles Kuck, argues the Department of Homeland Security violated its own rules, while the government seeks tailored injunctions based on individual expiration dates. This case, potentially the largest of its kind, reflects a growing trend of legal challenges, with judges nationwide issuing 17 similar restraining orders.

In the wake of the #MeToo movement, it became clear that film and television sets needed stronger regulations around intimate scenes. Since then, intimacy coordinators have been on the rise, ensuring that actors feel safe and respected while bringing vulnerable moments to life on screen. Thanks to their work, we can enjoy our favorite shows and movies without questioning whether boundaries were crossed behind the scenes. Today, I’m thrilled to be joined by Dr. Tiff Henry, an expert in sex and mental health and a leading intimacy coordinator. With a Master’s in Psychology and a Doctorate in Human Sexuality, she brings a deep understanding of human connection to her work. Since earning her certification with the Intimacy Professionals Association, Dr. Tiff has become a go-to intimacy coordinator for TV and film productions across Metro Atlanta. You may have seen her expertise in action in productions like TILL and Tell Me Lies, or caught her insights on Good Morning America and CNN. Through her careful choreography of intimate scenes, Dr. Tiff creates environments where both passion and safety can coexist. Beyond the screen, she dives even deeper into conversations about self-discovery, relationships, and intimacy on her podcast, Intimate Details with Dr. Tiff. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
