The power of “one” refers to your internal power to make one decision, to take one step and to change one life at a time.

Each year, I provide commentary and insights on the housing trends and how to cope with new challenges in Georgia through industry day events that bring government, local leaders, industry experts and real estate and mortgage professionals together. 

Metro Atlanta is a thriving, dynamic and successful region.  We are slowly recovering from the worst recession in our lives.  Where will we be in 3-5 years? 

This interactive event will identify the issues and challenges facing cities across Georgia with respect to housing, renting and purchasing.
