The cold may finally be breaking over Brunswick GA!  Its time to thaw out!  I cannot begin to explain how happy I really am about this forecast.  I looked on The Weather Channel's website, www.weather.com, and found my zen moment.  One more night of near freezing temperatures and then its mid-60s weather for us here in the Golden Isles!  Now some of our friends that live in other parts of the country may laugh at this.  However, Brunswick GA is known for its humid subtropical climate.  The average temperature in January, which is our coldest month, is 63 for a high and 44 for a low.  After spending the last two weeks at temperatures that have hit a high of mid 50s and lows have been into the 10s, I am personally ready for some warmer weather!!

After years of petitioning, pet owners have a new resource to utilize.  The Parks and Recreations department has announced that on December 24th, they opened the Blue Streak Dog Park. 

Located in the Howard Coffin Park, Blue Streak is a off leash dog park.  With a 6 foot fence enclosing the 1.25 acre park, dog owners have the opportunity to take thier pets into a fenced area, allow them to play off their leash, and socialize with other owners.  Your pet must be on a leash going into and out of the fence area. 

Dogs have reported that they love the facility!  They love the fact that they are allowed to run free without having to worry about where their owners are or what they are getting into.  There are bags and a trash can provided for the owners to clean up after their pets. 

So get out the house and let the dogs run loose!!

Emulating Oglethorpe's Squares in Savannah, Georgia, six squares were included in the original city play of Brunswick in 1771.  Hanover Square is one of the six square that were an integral part of social and community events. The history of Hanover Square provided by the non-profit organization Signature Squares of Brunswick offers insight into the historical importance of renovating Hanover Square.

Signature Squares of Brunswick did a beautiful job of the renovation and the pictures don't do their work justice.  It was well worth the trip downtown to see this historical renovation. 

As a Realtor, when I assist people in purchasing a home, one of the areas that I always get questions about is the loan process.  With so many options out there, what should a prospective buyer ask about?  While nothing can replace the advice of a qualified mortgage professional, I have created a couple of tables to answer some of the more basic questions that can arise in relation to mortgages.

*Seller contributions can cover closing cost, pre-paids, insurance…etc.  For complete list, please contact closing attorney.

I have never been really comfortable with just asking a past client to rate me, tell me what I can do better, or even to write a simple statement that they enjoyed working with me.  I guess when you first start out, the reluctance is probably grounded in fear.  Its like, you kind of go through what they might say if they actually write a recommendation.  "What if they didn't think I did a good job? What if they think I smell funny?"  You know, normal things people worry about!  But after helping a man buy his first house, he told me how much he appreciated the assistance.  I thought about it, swallowed a little pride, and asked if I could send him a link to write just a few words about his experience.  That my friends, leads me to my first written testimonial.  Hopefully, I will add a lot more to it.  Not so I can continue to post them all around the internet (which I fully plan to do), but that I may always portray myself in a light that clients will continue to want to write such nice things about me. 

"Had a great experience buying my home with Bryan and I would recommend him to other home buyers. Very friendly and helpful, made my first time home buying experience more enjoyable!"

A big thanks to Andrew!!
