Real estate professionals across Metro Atlanta are on the lookout this week for the annual Peggy Slappey Properties cheesecake delivery, a Christmas tradition of gratitude, celebration, and sweet goodness.
Peggy Slappey Properties is a family-run real estate brokerage of over 40 years, and these cheesecakes come from the matriarch herself, Helen Barker, Peggy’s mother. A family recipe passed down through the generations, the cheesecakes were originally baked personally by Helen, known affectionately by family, friends, and all of PSP as "Mom Helen." The tradition began when she decided to hand a cake to her clients at closing along with their new set of house keys, way back in 1970.
Mom Helen was always known for her desserts – tall layer

Stay in a Group
Trick-or-treat in a group and stay with your group. It helps to know your route ahead of time, too. The more adults that accompany children, the better.
Glow in the dark!
Reflective materials and flashlights let drivers more easily see kids who accidentally wander into the street. The Center for Disease Control reports that children are four times more likely to be hit by a car on Halloween than any other night of the year. This is especially

Brrrrr! It's cold outside and getting colder if the weather forecast is correct. Some areas of North Georgia may even see snow again! Now is the perfect time to ready your home for the coldest temperatures and avoid the costly repairs of frozen and burst pipes. A little preparation now can save you tons of money and hassle.

A Good Time to Buy
There is lots of good news about the real estate market in our area. Mortgage rates began their downward trend at the end of 2023 and continue in the same direction now, which means hundreds of dollars of savings on your monthly mortgage bill. At the same time, many new home builders are still offering large buyer incentives and/or closing cost contributions on move-in ready homes. Those deals will only be around for a limited time, but there are some great bargains to be had if you

Real estate has challenges in every season, and autumn is no exception. As temperatures cool and those crisp fall breezes bring thoughts of all things pumpkin spice, it's time to take a look at your home from the curb and see what others see. Is your yard full of leaves, overgrown shrubs, and weeds? Fall is a great time to sell your home, but curb appeal can make all the difference in a quick sale at top dollar. A few simple tasks outdoors can make your home's first impression a good one this fall.
Rake It & Bag It
Autumn colors are beautiful, but not on your lawn. Keep your grass free from leaves and other debris that gathers this time of year by raking and bagging regularly.
