            <description> <![CDATA[ 
It is a popular misconception that banks are often accepting half of what they are asking.&nbsp; 

This is not the case.&nbsp; The reality is that banks often list homes at half of their former value.&nbsp; Banks only accept offers that discounted on select properties that have been on the market for quite some time.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

Lake Lanier is the hot spot in North Georgia. 



Where to live on the lake has always been a question many of 
my clients have asked me. First, let me start by saying that Lake Lanier

            <title>Buying on Lake Lanier, Important Things to Consider</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 

I have a lot of clients tell me &quot;Christian, I want a deal on Lake Lanier!&quot;

For example:  New Construction, Lake Frontage, Dock on deepwater (i.e. drought proof), short path to the dock, clear unobstructed views of the water from every room and most importantly&hellip;they want it for a bargain price or I should say for under $400K just because  &quot;It&rsquo;s a Buyer&amp;rsquo... ]]> </description>

Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) are basically investments in mortgage loans.&nbsp; MBS&rsquo;s represent mortgage bonds and are made up of pools of mortgages.&nbsp; MBS&rsquo;s are traded just like stocks and their value fluctuates on a daily basis.&nbsp; Rates are constantly changing just like stocks.&nbsp; Throughout a trading day, ... ]]> </description>
