MORTGAGE UPDATE

MORTGAGE UPDATE

October 16, 2008

GA Luxury Homes and Country Club Homes

GA Luxury Homes and Country Club Homes for the affluent buyer!

If you are an executive that has managed to make it through the last few weeks with your portfolio intact maybe one of these homes is for you – GA Executive Homes.  Perhaps there aren’t many of you ready to commit to one of those at the moment, but keep us in mind.

Perhaps we should shoot for buyers from the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Hawks, or maybe a Rock and Roll Star.  These GA Luxury Homes should fit the bill for you whether it is your primary home or just a home base in the Atlanta Metro area.

For the professional Golfer perhaps one of these GA Country Club Homes is more appropriate.

When you get settled in and are ready for a little rest and relaxation then one of these Orange Beach properties is in order – Ono Island Homes or Orange Beach Condos.

Check it out!
