In the wake of Hurricane Irma, Metro Atlanta saw thousands of downed trees, and today many in our area are still without power. As line crews continue the hard work of restoring power, we thought a few reminders might make clean up a little easier in your neighborhood.
Obviously, if there is a downed power line anywhere near your fallen tree, call your service provider and local authorities. DO NOT try to remove the tree yourself.
If the tree fell on your home or vehicle, call your insurance company first, before lifting a single limb. Typically, homeowners will receive direct reimbursement from the insurance company itself, but your agent can recommend tree removal companies to make your life easier.

At PSP, we’re gearing up for REALTOR Safety Month in September, and just in case you were not present for our continuing education class entitled, “Real Estate Assault Awareness,” here are some of the important points that you missed:
The class instructor was Ken Malcolm, a 32-year veteran of the Covington Police Department and Criminology Professor at Georgia State University. Malcolm started the course by saying there are two types of “bad guys:” the opportunist and the predator. “Both love to target real estate professionals,” he said. “Of all the courses you’ll take, this one is the most important.”
While an opportunist will be encouraged to action when the right circumstances present themselves, a predator acts with forethought and

Peggy Slappey Properties’ August Sales Meeting showcased two of the brokerage’s top producing agents: Wayne Kelley for New Home Sales, and John Slappey for General Brokerage/Resales. The two agents fielded questions that ran from “What is the best marketing tool you use to promote yourself?” to “How do you survive the lean times?” In case you missed it, here are the highlights:
John Slappey made the switch from new home sales to general brokerage during the most recent market downturn. The change was out of necessity, as he branched out into resales, short sales, and rental management. He stressed the importance of choosing a system for lead generation and sticking to it. “You’ve got to have discipline,” he said. “Personal accountability is

Remember, you can always check with the Better Business Bureau, too, to see if any complaints have
The residents of Creekside Village enjoyed fun in the sun this past weekend as Peggy Slappey Properties and Smith Douglas threw a pool party to celebrate the amazing summer season.
