In today's chapter, I delve into the mysterious disappearance of Heather Elvis, a 20-year-old woman from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, who went missing on December 18, 2013. Her abandoned car was found at Peachtree Landing, but Heather was never seen again. The investigation led to Tammy and Sidney Moorer, a married couple whose tumultuous relationship with Heather would become the focus of multiple high-profile trials. Were the Moorers responsible for Heather's disappearance, or was the truth lost in a whirlwind of jealousy, deception, and conflicting testimonies? Join me as I break down every twist and turn of the Heather Elvis case, including:Heather Elvis's final movements and her relationship with Sidney Moorer.The bizarre online behavior and accusations from Tammy Moorer.The police investigation and evidence pointing toward the Moorers.The courtroom drama and verdicts that continue to divide public opinion.The lingering question: What truly happened to Heather Elvis?Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comPromo for And Then They Were GoneEach week hosts Kona and Ethan go beyond the headlines and social media posts to do a deep dive into a different missing persons case.

His career shifted onto the fast track after nearly 10 years prepping under William Shirley at Peachtree Golf Club in Brookhaven, Georgia, Lambert ventured 10 miles up the road to Atlanta Country Club, a 1965 William C. Byrd design, where he has been head superintendent since 2019.

In this episode of Rising Stars of Turf, Lambert discusses his start in the business, how he changed majors — and colleges — to pursue his passion and how a decade at Peachtree helped form his outlook on personnel management.

This week, we're talking about one of Atlanta's most famous thoroughfares - and no, it's not Peachtree Street - it's Cheshire Bridge Road. Each time the city debuted a new thoroughfare, so began the promotion of its caliber and residents. Streets and avenues like Peachtree, Washington, Edgewood and so on would wage the battles of maintaining its status as an upper class section. As Cheshire Bridge Road has made the news recently because of the fight against adult businesses, it was interesting to see this same story play out over time. So today we're covering its early pioneer history, first businesses, the start of its reputation and its significant LGBTQ history.

This week we are delving into one of the greats of Southern Rock.  Well, they are southern rock if you count southern California.  Little Feat took its name from a comment Frank Zappa made to his band member Lowell George regarding his having little feet. George would become a founder and driving force behind Little Feat, providing guitar and vocals.  Other members were Paul Barrere on guitar and vocals, Sam Clayton on percussion and vocals, Kenny Gradney on bass, Richie Hayward on drums and vocals, and Bill Payne on keyboards and vocals.Feats Don't Fail Me Now is the band's fourth studio album, and it went to number 36 on the US Top LP's chart.  It is hard to go wrong when, in addition to the regular band members you have the Tower of Power on horns, and backing vocals from Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt.  The album was recorded at Blue Seas Recording Studio in Maryland, and it provided two advantages.  First, it had just opened and needed a band for their "shakedown cruise," letting Little Feat record on the cheap.  Second, it was far away from their home base in Los Angeles, which kept Lowell George away from many familiar temptions of drugs and women.While Lowell George would soon begin to deteriorate in health (he died of a heart attack in 1979), this album shows him and his band at the height of their artistic prowess.  The surviving members of Little Feat would regroup in 1987, and the band continues to perform today.Wayne takes us through this little feat of southen rock for this week's podcast. Feats Don't Fail Me NowThe title track received significant airplay on FM radio and it leads off side two of the album.  That driving bass line and funky drumbeat is sometimes called Country Funk Boogie.  The message of the song is one of perseverance and determination to get back the girl the singer loves.Oh AtlantaIf you were living in the metro-Atlanta area in the 70's or 80's, you definitely are familiar with this song.  Billy Payne takes lead vocal duties on this track, and it features Bonnie Raitt and Emmylou Harris on backing vocals.  "Well, you can drop me off on Peachtree, I got to feel that Georgia sun.  And the women there in Atlanta, they make you awfully glad you come."Spanish MoonThis track was written by Lowell George and features the Tower of Power horn section.  This is a deeper cut, but it has a latin groove while maintaining both a bluesy and funky sound.  The origin of the song is a dream George had of a dangerous nightclub in New Orleans called the Spanish Moon.Rock and Roll DoctorThe song considered the hit off the album is an anthem to the healing power of music.  "Two degress in bebop, a PhD in swing, he's a master of rhythm, he's a rock and roll king."   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the motion picture “Together Brothers”The Love Unlimited Orchestra provided this title track to STAFF PICKS:Radar Love by Golden EarringLynch's starts our staff picks this week with a Dutch rock band originally formed in 1961.  Lead vocalist Barry Hay and guitarist George Kooymans wrote this single that reached number 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.  The lyrics describe a man driving a long way to be with his love, and communicating with her through a mystical bond he calls "radar love."Keep on Smilin' by Wet WillieBruce features the title track from Wet Willie's third studio album.  It is their biggest hit, reaching number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The song itself is rather stoic, encouraging the listener to keep smiling through the difficulties and pain of life.The Night Chicago Died by Paper LaceRob's staff pick is a story telling song that topped the US chart for one week in 1974.  The lyrics describe a shoot-out between the Chicago Police and Al Capone's gangsters, and worries from the wife of a police officer that her husband wouldn't make it home.  The song ends on a positive note when her husband walks through the door.Beach Baby by The First ClassWayne brings us a British band made up of all session players.  They call themselves "the first class" because they considered themselves to be a kind of supergroup of the UK music session set.  This song would be a one-hit wonder, reaching number 4 in the US, but other singles would not see the same level of success. NOVELTY TRACK:Rub It In by Billy "Crash" CraddockThis novelty song hit the top of the country charts.  It may be more familiar as the jingle from Glade air fresheners, where they sing, "plug it in."

As people are traveling at record levels, the hotel industry is flourishing with demand that is exceeding 2019. Leisure travel has grown significantly, and corporate travel has growth for several quarters. Since almost no new supply has been constructed in the last five years, there's a current supply-demand imbalance that's benefitting hotel operators. Greg Friedman, Managing Principal and Chief Executive Officer of Peachtree Group in Atlanta, owns 70 select service hotels, mostly in the Southeast, and is a lender to other operators. Greg currently has 130 first lien loans out to other operators. Peachtree is a vertically integrated firm that develops, acquires, manages, and finances hotels. 

As a Grateful Dead fan I was aware of the song 'Dupree's Diamond Blues' but never knew that it was about an eighteen year old who committed a robbery and muder in Atlanta.  This is the story of 'The Peachtree Bandit', the last person sentenced to hang in Georgia,  and some of the music he inspired.     The Moving Through Georgia book is available on Amazon.   But they are dead - A look at mourning and notable burials in Northeast Georgia

Georgia history stories will start again the first week of June- we'll talk about the chain gang, the Peachtree bandit, and a few moonshiners.  For now, though, let's detour to nearby Cleveland Tennesee and meet a family with (maybe) a stain in their past, a ghost cat, and a haunted railroad bridge.   I'll be doing a live show at the Banks County Library on June 5 at 2:00!  You are welcome to bring and share a story from Banks County, or just enjoy listening!

I certainly appreciate having you. Come on.   Greg Friedman (00:00:48) - Yeah. Thank you Sam. I appreciate the opportunity to be on the show with you today.   Sam Wilson (00:00:51) - Absolutely. Greg, as our listeners know, normally I give the guest bio there in the beginning, telling all about the guest and where they come from.   Sam Wilson (00:00:58) - But instead, we're going to skip straight to the same question I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less. Can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now, and how did you get there?   Greg Friedman (00:01:07) - Definitely. so, you know, I graduated from University of Texas at Austin back in 1999. I spent, you know, about eight, you know, 8 or 9 years in banking before I started Peachtree going back, you know, to 2007. And, you know, Peachtree, when I originally started it, it was a, you know, small family office that we were focused on going out and acquiring and developing hotel assets. And like all businesses, we've transitioned through the years and we've transitioned into a vertically integrated private equity firm that invests across, you know, all commercial real estate property type. So we invest, you know, still very heavily across the hotel space. But we also have investments across all commercial property types as well as we have investments outside of real estate as well.   Greg Friedman (00:01:49) - And then as I mentioned, we're vertically integrated. So we own an operation development lending asset management company, so forth.   Sam Wilson (00:01:56) - That is fantastic. Did you grow up in a family of entrepreneurs?   Greg Friedman (00:02:00) - You know, I did. So my my grandfather was a huge entrepreneur. He was a doctor by trade. And he, he also owned a bunch of real estate, like any good doctor that lived in a small town in Alabama, because I grew up right outside Tuscaloosa. He was, you know, he was very focused on not only being a doctor. He was an eye doctor. He was also focused on doing everything from owning commercial real estate, you know, to owning a home building business to owning movie theaters. So he was, you know, very entrepreneurial. So he was a huge influence on my life. And he, you know, owned hotel properties. And that was, you know, that's how I sort of got into the business because he owned a business that owned hotels, but also owned a hotel lending business.   Greg Friedman (00:02:43) - So I personally grew up around the business before, you know, professionally getting into the, hospitality business on the lending side, when I graduated college.   Sam Wilson (00:02:51) - Got it. And so was that. I guess maybe that's the answer, the question that's kind of what gave you the bug early on that said, hey, this is this is kind of the direction we're going to take, but what did you decide to do differently? Maybe, you know, when you launched Peachtree that your family wasn't already involved in.   Greg Friedman (00:03:08) - Yeah. So, you know, at this point in time, when I launched Peachtree, my family was pretty much out of the hotel business outside of, you know, some limited investments. So it was, you know, my grandfather, unfortunately, he was, you know, at this point in time, he passed away shortly after I started Peachtree, but didn't have a lot of, you know, he had sold off most of his investments. And same for my mom, who was a big influence as well.   Greg Friedman (00:03:29) - But, but really went in and, you know, initially thought I was going to, you know, just focus because I knew the hotel business from a professional perspective that was out there financing, capitalizing hotel projects and have financing capitalized over 300 hotel projects across the US when I was on the banking side, so I wasn't necessarily looking to duplicate what the family business had done. I was trying to really create my own legacy. And, you know, with myself and I had a partner that still is involved in the business today. The two of us both wanted to create our own legacies, to go out, you know, acquire and develop hotel properties. And we had, you know, our own capital that we were investing. So, you know, personally was using my capital along with my partner. And then our family members were investing heavily. So my grandfather, my mom and so forth were big investors. Initially when we went out and acquired developed assets, when we set up a business.   Sam Wilson (00:04:20) - Got it.   Sam Wilson (00:04:20) - You launched that in 2007. That seems like the prime time to, get heavily into commercial real estate. How did you weather the next 3 or 4 years?   Greg Friedman (00:04:29) - Yeah. So we're good at picking timing here. So we picked it in May of 2007 when we formed Peachtree. And and that was probably the absolute peak before the great financial crisis. And so we, you know, so we went out and, you know, made about eight, 8 or 9 investments across the lodging space, in 2007 timeframe where we bought some land parcels that we ended up developing into hotels shortly thereafter, or we bought actual hotel assets. And it was, it was sort of interesting, just as I reflect on it, because, you know, it was probably the best lesson, you know, for us on the business side, because we quickly went from, you know, being able to play offense, meaning we were able to make investments to happen to play, you know, truly play defense because we were going through one of the, you know, worst economic situations of all time.   Greg Friedman (00:05:17) - With the great financial crisis that really took hold by the mid part of 2008. And, and we successfully navigated through that environment, not only do we end up producing, you know, decent returns, we, you know, all those investments we made, we actually made positive returns on every investment we made pre, great financial crisis. But we were we were super active. We were, you know, very good about not only playing defense but being able to go out and play offense and buy a lot of distressed debt during the great financial crisis. You know, where we bought over, you know, 50 loans. We bought a lot of hotels that were in distress on the real estate side as well. And we bought, you know, we developed a bunch of hotels from the ground up in the middle of the great financial crisis. So we had a lot of success making new investments as well as playing defense. And, you know, being able to, you know, really optimize and drive the returns across our, you know, our existing investments at that point in time during the great financial crisis.   Sam Wilson (00:06:13) - It sounds like you guys were. What? Let's be brave when others are fearful. Like you guys were brave when others were fearful in in this time. What? What did you guys do differently that able you know, that allowed you guys to go out and buy distressed hotel assets and say or distressed debt, whatever it was and say, hey, we're able to do something better than the previous operator has done.   Greg Friedman (00:06:39) - Sure. So I think, you know, I think a couple different things. I think it's just part, you know, at this point in time, I think it's part of our DNA, of our organization. And when you look at just the culture here, we're not afraid of chaos. We're not afraid of, you know, operating in tough environments. And we've had a lot of success doing that, obviously through the great financial crisis. And then even through the pandemic, we were one of the most, you know, active buyers of distressed debt. We bought over, you know, 180 loans in 2020 and 2021.   Greg Friedman (00:07:06) - In the middle of the pandemic, we bought a bunch of hotel distressed hotel assets, even during the pandemic, as well as, you know, we made a lot of, direct loans to groups that needed rescue capital made over, you know, 29 loans to different groups that needed rescue capital to make it through the pandemic. So I think it's it's one of those components where we're willing to be decisive when the market pulls back, you know, you find a lot of groups, become, you know, very timid when there's a, you know, when there's a chaotic environment, when there's disruption in the marketplace. And we're very proactive in the sense that we, you know, like what we did during the great financial crisis, we were very proactive in asset managing our current investments and really setting those investments up to be successful. And then simultaneously, we were able to, you know, shift our mindset because it's hard to play defense and offense at the same time. And you have to sort of, you know, you have to bifurcate those two strategies.   Greg Friedman (00:08:02) - And that's something we did successfully during the GFC. And then as we grew our company because we were much larger, you know, you know, before the pandemic started and we're even larger today than before the pandemic. But, you know, we were able to split our team where we had a certain part of our team focus on playing defense and really optimizing the performance of our existing investments. And then we had another team focused on going out and making new investments in finding and sourcing opportunities. And a lot of cases, what you find in the especially in the hotel industry, there's a lot of inefficiencies from one operator to another. And we've you know, we internalize the operations side going back to 2008 and Peachtree, we did it in order to play defense during the great financial crisis. And having our own internal hotel operation platform has paid dividends for us, not only being able to identify opportunities, but truly being able to outperform, you know, how other operators operate. And unfortunately, when there is disruption in the marketplace, like a pandemic or a great financial crisis, you can quickly see who's good at operating and who's, you know, who's been struggling, but you know, has had the benefit of the, you know, economic conditions before that disruption.   Sam Wilson (00:09:13) - What are some telltale things that you guys look for in an operation where you say, man, that would be a great buy because we can implement X and make this so much better.   Greg Friedman (00:09:23) - Yeah. So a lot of it is looking at revenue management strategies, like you find that a lot of hotels don't really optimize their actual revenue management strategies, being able to maximize rates that they're charging and simultaneously driving the occupancy. So being able to drive those revenues into the asset, you find that other operators are really good at revenue managing. But when you get these revenues, they just overspend and you know, you want to drive. Great guest experience. And we pride ourselves on being able to do that across our portfolio. But you want to be able to, you know, simultaneously because you're making you know, you're making investments in these assets because you're a for profit enterprise. You know, usually and for us, we're for profit. So we want to make sure we're able to control expenses. And we keep a very tight budget on, on what we're spending on the operations side, but we're doing it at a level where we don't want to impact the guest experience.   Greg Friedman (00:10:15) - So being able to balance that out is usually where you can find those opportunity sets. And then, you know, I would say from a more just high level value add strategy that we've been able to implement. When you look at the hundreds and hundreds of, you know, investments we made on the equity side across hotels we've acquired, you know, what you find is a lot of times hotels are undercapitalized from a CapEx perspective. So we'll buy an asset and go in and spend a lot of money to renovate that asset and actually bring it into a level where it can be competitive with the other hotels in its comp set to be able to charge higher rates and be able to drive occupancy. And, you know, other cases, you know, you find that, you know, we're able to, not only, you know, spend money to drive performance from a standpoint of renovating the asset, but change the brand and going from one brand to another brand. There's a lot of value that could be, you know, that could be created by making those brand changes.   Greg Friedman (00:11:11) - And we've had a lot of success in doing that, taking something that's maybe unbranded and putting a marriott or Hilton brand into it. So it has a strong reservation system to help drive that performance.   Sam Wilson (00:11:22) - No, that's really, really excellent. I love the insight there. And I know probably of all commercial real estate asset classes, I know the least about hotels. So this is this is kind of a fun conversation for me to learn, from you. So. Well, Greg, let me ask you this. Like, where is the opportunity that you guys? In hotels today. I mean, it's something where, you know, the traveler preferences have changed. We've seen a lot of, I think, shift in the in the market. you you mentioned here even before we started hitting record that you saw that there's chaos in commercial real estate. So I'm sure having weathered 2007, you know, been through that, built an enormous company up until now. You guys are constantly reassessing where opportunity lies. So give us kind of the insight on what you think and where you guys are positioning yourselves as it pertains to the hospitality space as a whole.   Greg Friedman (00:12:11) - Yeah. So and we we love the hotel space. And we also, you know, we still think there's a lot of opportunities within commercial real estate outside of hotels as well. But across all commercial real estate in general, hands down, the best opportunity set today is not to go out and acquire assets. You know, we think there's a better opportunity set actually on the development side across hotels today, although I think there will be a better opportunity to buy hotels more opportunistically later this year. But we're finding, you know, a better opportunity set if you are investing on the equity side, on the development side versus actually acquiring assets. But going back to my original point, though, across all commercial real estate, I think the best opportunity set is on the credit side. The credit trade me hands down is the most compelling trade today. And if you're doing direct lending, you know where you're financing groups to go out and acquire and develop assets or even recapitalize existing assets. And a lot of cases where, you know, ultimately driving from a standpoint of the investments we're making, we're getting, you know, outcomes that are very similar to what we would be getting if we were investing on the equity side.   Greg Friedman (00:13:17) - Yet we're in a, you know, position that you could argue that's protected because we're in a lower leverage position because we're financing 60 to 75% of the, you know, acquisition costs, development costs, you know, the current value of the assets. To recap. So to me, that's the best opportunity set right now, is to invest through credit versus taking on the last dollar risk on the equity side. But if you are going to take on Las or equity risk across hotels, I you know, I believe the, you know, the development side to be super compelling because there's a lot of markets, you know, when you look at hotels in general, you know, supplies down roughly about 30 to 40% from historic averages. So supply is growing at less than 1% a year. That's projected to be the case for the next five years or so. And that's just a, you know, that's a you know, that's really the outcome of what happened during Covid, where supply pipelines were shut down because nobody wanted to build new hotels when no one was traveling.   Greg Friedman (00:14:13) - And then all of a sudden we transition as travel started coming back, you know, back in, you know, 2022, we started transitioning into this environment where the credit markets became dislocated. So it became more and more challenging to finance construction or new construction assets. And and that's created that constraint of new supply. And simultaneously, there continues to be robust demand. Drivers like demand continues to grow from where, you know, where we were even last year across our industry. And, you know, we're still expecting over the next five years, demand is going to be, you know, growing at historic levels at 2% or higher per year. So demand's way outpacing supply. And there's a lot of markets that, you know, could support new hotels be built in. That's one reason why we do favor development. The other, you know, just sort of interesting component to hotels compared to other property types. Today, if you wanted to invest across, you know, any property type hotels trade at higher cap rates.   Greg Friedman (00:15:08) - And part of the reason, you know, I'm probably a little bit, you know, negative towards equity investments in general right now is I still think we're going through this whole repricing, across all asset types, especially, you know, commercial real estate because interest rates are much higher today than where we've been over the last decade. You know, we've averaged like use the ten year Treasury rate as the risk free rate, the ten year Treasury rates, you know, averaged around 2% over the last 12 years or so. And, you know, you look at today, the ten year Treasury rates around four, you know, 4.3%. So the ten year Treasury is almost double where it's been over the last 10 or 12 years. And, you know, I believe that the ten year Treasury is going to stay elevated. And if it does stay elevated, when you start applying risk premium spreads, which the ten year treasury rate is, from my viewpoint, the risk free rate. And if you applied the, you know, risk premium spreads on top of it for what commercial real estate typically is, which is on average about 275 basis points above that risk free rate.   Greg Friedman (00:16:07) - You know, you start to realize a lot of, you know, assets, a lot of these assets that are trading at a 5% cap rate or even a low 6% cap rate, you could argue you could see, you know, continue to see a cap rate expansion from where they're trading out right now. And that's the risk of making equity investments. I'm not sure if the market's fully, reset. Whereas hotels, you know, are trading around 8% cap rates. So you have higher risk premium spreads, you have less repricing risk. And that's why hotels are. More compelling on the equity side than some of the other property types that you see out there.   Sam Wilson (00:16:42) - I love that explanation. Thank you for taking the time to, to do that on that, on that credit side of things, what are people building now that today's that? Yeah, I guess what are people building right now that makes sense for you guys to be the lender on?   Greg Friedman (00:16:58) - Yeah. So I mean, on the development side, we're financing a lot of new hotels that are being built.   Greg Friedman (00:17:03) - So we're doing a fair amount of construction loans. We're doing a lot of acquisition loans, as you can imagine, outside of construction. We're actually doing some multifamily construction loans. You know, you have a record amount of supply getting delivered in multifamily. So we are very selective on the markets that we are financing. But we are doing some multifamily construction loans, some stuff on the industrial side as well on construction lending, but by far the majority of the type of loans we're making today are, you know, going out and providing acquisition financing or recapitalizing existing assets. And we are starting to ramp back up on buying loans. You know, we bought four loans in the month of December alone. We're buying we're in the process of buying several loans as we speak today. And when we buy loans, this isn't you know, our credit strategy is not a loan to own strategy. Our strategy is to go in and buy loans or even make loans with the idea of helping the borrower be successful. You know, that's what we're our focus is on.   Greg Friedman (00:17:59) - As we buy these loans, we typically buy them with the idea we're going to restructure the loans and hopefully allow the borrower to have runway to be successful and get us paid off over the next couple of years as the market normalizes back out.   Sam Wilson (00:18:13) - Right? No. And that's I mean, that's a lot of moving pieces there and a lot of different strategies I think that you guys are employing all at once. So it's it's a lot of fun to hear you just talk. I know you you probably stay at the 30,000 foot level with a lot of people making a lot of these things happen. I think that's that's really, really cool. I guess, maybe even a more direct question is on the construction loans that you guys are doing. I guess I'm trying to understand the type of traveler today that the hospitality space needs, not the type of traveler that we're building for today. Where is what is that.   Sam Wilson (00:18:42) - Yeah. So we yeah, typically we're.   Greg Friedman (00:18:44) - Focused, you know, on just to sort of put to scale what we're looking at is typically select service limited service compact full service extended stay hotels with 100 to 250 rooms.   Greg Friedman (00:18:57) - Right. So typically the type of guess we're going after are the, you know, corporate travelers. In some cases it's leisure demand. And because each of these submarkets have different, you know, demand drivers that are driving who's actually utilizing these hotels. But I would say the majority of the demand is coming from corporate and group demand as well. As, you know, there's a decent amount of leisure demand, which usually makes up about 20 to 30% of the hotels that, you know, we invest into, have about, you know, have a leisure component to it as well. Sure.   Sam Wilson (00:19:27) - No. That answers the question that that was. Yeah, that's that's super insightful because that's that's kind of the answer I was expecting because I think I've just we've just seen kind of the, the, demand profile change I think slightly over the years. And that was that was the answer I probably expected right now was that more select service? yeah. Corporate traveler sort of sort of clientele at those hotels. So that's really, really cool.   Sam Wilson (00:19:50) - Greg, we've talked about a lot of different things today. I mean, you guys have grown an enormous company here over the last. What is that? Oh seven? 17 years.   Sam Wilson (00:19:58) - 17 years?   Sam Wilson (00:19:59) - Yeah. Man. Congrats. That's a lot of fun. You've done a lot of things you've shared with us today. Your thoughts on the market as it is today, where you guys see opportunity. You've shared with us how you guys have built, built your firm, the types of things that you guys are investing in, the opportunities and how you guys have diversified yourself over the last ten years or so, and what you've been investing in, the types of loans you're buying, acquisitions, development and a very insightful show.

Sales Manager Dan Rogers with Peachtree Residential joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the company's exciting portfolio of new construction projects and what's on the horizon for 2024. Rogers joins host Carol Morgan on the All About Real Estate segment. Settled in Johns Creek, Rogers has a history of 17 years with Peachtree Residential. Known as the “Builder Who Listens,” Peachtree Residential is a locally owned and operated business and has been active in the metro area for 35 years, providing over 5,000 homes to the ever-changing market. A salve for the constantly rising interest rates, the builder unveiled the Buyer Assurance Program. If a buyer chooses to refinance their Peachtree Residential home in the next five years, the Atlanta-based builder will pay up to $4,000 in closing costs if they refinance with a preferred lender. This, paired with a stellar lineup of inventory homes, creates a can't-miss opportunity for buyers searching for their dream home. At Arden on Lanier in Forsyth, buyers can unlock the door to a spacious, beautifully designed home just minutes from the shoreline of Lake Lanier. This brand-new community from Peachtree Residential is located on Pilgrim Mill Road, providing homeowners with a sense of being surrounded by the beautiful countryside without losing access to big city amenities. The community will feature 58 homes highlighting top-rated features such as primary suites on the main level, three-car garages as well as basement and slab plans. The community already has two homes under contract and four ready for quick move-in, with four inventory homes under construction! Rogers said, “The model home is already opened and ready for viewing!” Please note that Waterside at River Glen is sold out as of the airing of this episode. In Forsyth, Montebello features one-level and two-story homes with basement and slab options priced from the $600,000s to the $700,000s. Homes showcase three bedrooms and two to two-and-a-half bathrooms, with select home plans placing the primary suite on the main level. The community also enjoys an exceptional amenities package, including a clubhouse, two lighted tennis courts, a pavilion, two lighted pickleball courts, a flex gathering area, grilling activity lawns, a mail center and sprawling green space. Rogers said, “Montebello is a beautiful community with great amenities!” West Village, the newest townhome community from Peachtree Residential, boasts six three-story home opportunities with four end-unit locations. Each home features four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms and fantastic design appointments throughout. Tune in to the full interview above to learn more, or visit www.PeachtreeResidential.com.
