The Will is the Way: Basics of Estate Planning
By · Comments
One of the things to think about this season of family get togethers and gift-giving is planning for your final gift, and how it will affect your family. Admittedly, post-death effects are something no one much wants to think about or discuss, but it is an essential part of estate planning and the discomfort of having the conversation can save a lot of misery down the road. Having the after-death talk as an open discussion also serves to disarm any potential confusion or conflicts among your loved ones. An article on the Equifax blog by Jeff Rose recently touched on a number of different aspects of estate planning in his article, “Estate Planning: Discussing Your Final Wishes with Your Family.” Read More→

Windsong Properties Plans to Grow in 2012
By · Comments
This year has been a good one for Windsong Properties, an award-winning active adult ranch home builder. In fact, the builder has had a heavy sales pace, is hiring and is starting on another project in Woodstock, Ga. Windsong looks forward to growing even more in 2012.
Windsong sold out at two of its communities, Somerset in Woodstock and Windsong at Greystone Village in East Cobb. At Greystone Village, the builder was even able to sell 11 homes in seven months. With homes that feature step free floor plans, private outdoor living space and innovative finishes, it is no wonder that homes sold out fast.
Windsong Properties is building another community in Woodstock that will be ready next year. Homes will include low maintenance exteriors, lever handled faucets and doors and walk-in tile showers. High quality finishes and a wide range of options and upgrades will create opportunities for personalization. The community will have easy access to numerous dining, shopping and recreational destinations near historic Woodstock Square.
The builder is currently hiring a new home sales specialist. The candidate needs to have good technology skills, listening skills and patience. New home sales experience is helpful but not necessarily required. To apply, e-mail Carrie Roeger, Marketing Manager, at carrie@windsonglife.com.

The Orchards Group Ends Year with Satisfied Homeowners
By · Comments
The Orchards Group, builder of active adult communities in North Atlanta, is ending the year with positive ratings from its customers. Because the builder takes customer service very seriously, receiving a 99.5 percent customer satisfaction rating from GuildQuality was a huge honor. GuildQuality is an independent third-party company that surveys the customers of its 500+ builder member network. The Orchards Group’s ratings are based on interviews conducted with homeowners who purchased a home in the last year. Besides this honor, the builder has received great feedback during informal discussions with homeowners.
Gisele Warner, a retiree who purchased a home this spring in The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm, is one such homeowner. Warner moved here from Florida after the passing of her husband to be closer to her grandchildren. She was looking to downsize to a new home in an active adult community. She was shown The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm by her real estate agent and fell in love with the community.
Warner purchased a two bedroom home with a den that she turned into her grandchildren’s play room. “This was the perfect home for me,” said Warner. “The location, the community, the house itself – everything is just perfect. And the staff at The Orchards Group was very cooperative, very nice. I am incredibly happy with the entire process.”
Nearly eight months after moving in, Warner is still pleased with her experience with The Orchards Group. “The homes and landscaping are kept up beautifully, and any warranty issues that have come up have been addressed promptly and appropriately.”
She is so pleased, in fact, that she has recommended the community to her brother-in-law, who has visited from out of state. He is now considering purchasing a home in the community.
The Orchards Group is the developer of three Atlanta active adult communities including The Orchards of Habersham Grove and The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm in Forsyth County, and The Orchards of East Cherokee in Cherokee County.
