As a resident of Suwanee for....20 years, I have seen a lot of changes. The good news is the city officials have listened to their citizens and have created a very desireable live, work and play environment. With plenty of green space, three city parks (so far), beautiful trails winding along the Suwanee Creek it is no wonder it has been ranked as the #10 best place to live by Money Magazine. As an avid visitor to the Suwanee Creek Park, I can attest to the fact it is a tranquil get-away where you can enjoy the wonderful sounds of nature, listen to birds sing, the look of a deer as it scrambles for cover back into the woods. You can't help but chuckle as the chipmunks and squirrels scurry for their next meal never pausing as you wander by. It is proof they have become accustomed to our ... 03/28/2008

With so much inventory to choose from how can you, as a Suwanee homeowner wanting to sell your home, differentiate yourself from the pact?

So when you do decide to sell, the idea of asking you to do a few things which may incur additional cost can someti... 03/27/2008

Thank you to all my clients that I have known through the years!In 1990 I was a young mom looking for a way to make money and take care of my 4 small children. I loved working in the sales and marketing field. But that is hard to do with 4 small children. My husband, Doug, worked as a commercial property manager in Atlanta at the time and held a real estate license. One day we were driving along in Buford, Georgia and we noticed a HUD foreclosure sign. During those days, we were in a recession and there were many foreclosures on the market. The agent told me that I should sell real estate. My husband got his broker license and I got my real estate agent license. His commercial company allowed him to do this. We were in business! So in my basement of my home in Suwanee, Ga we started "Jo... 09/10/2007
