    AR Tuesday Meet-Up - ADU Methods And Excitement    With John DL Arendsen Starting off the New Year with a fascinating presentation from John DL Arendsen, the first Meet-Up of 2021 was packed with TONS of information. John speaks in a calm voice and therefore his style made it possible to absorb all the new information he presented about his career with Crest Backyard Homes. John is a Factory Built Home Contractor. He explained that everything a new home process requires when being built on site is also the step-by-step process for a  factory-built home. So fascinating to think of that process.Meet-Ups generally start on time at 2:00 pm ET BUT starting around 1:30 or so, people sign in to greet each other. During "visiting" time today, John explained how Jeff Dowler, CRS introduced h...

Listing those successes will allow you figure out who he is quickly. He has been an actor, a professional weight lifter and Governor of California.  He is the father of five grown children who all receive his love and attention. Yet the life lessons he shares may be...

Atlanta Buckhead Midtown -        End of Year 2020        Thoughts - Part 1  Looking back over this year affords me a chance to be grateful for so many things: My health, my family's health and the continued health of friends and business associates.

Selling a real-estate property is nothing less than a struggle. You keep looking for best buyers who are ready to offer highest value for your real property but sometimes end up selling it for less. That’s where real-estate investors come in. Are you looking for hassle-free selling of houses? Do you want to sell your house quickly? Then contact the real-estate investors instead of trying to find a buyer for the house yourself. With engaging a real-estate investor, you can be sure that the ball is in your court. You will get money quickly and you do not have to go through the process of mending the property. Real-estate investors take even the damaged property and repair them later themselves. You don’t have to spend a single penny on repairing the house.Benefits of Involving a Real-Esta...
