Get ready to cheer for Lilburn’s Eric Shanteau

Parkview High School alum Eric Shanteau has made the US Olympic Swimming Team, competing in the 200 Meter Breast stroke.  He finished 3rd in the 2004 Trials in both the 200m and 400m Individual Medleys, just barely missing the team.

That, in an of itself, would be an amazing accomplishment. His list of swimming accomplishments is long and illustrious.  Parkview High School records, Georgia State High School records… Take a look here…

But, there is something else.  Eric is fighting testicular cancer.  At 24 years old.  No whining.  Instead, he is showing the same determination that has pushed him to acheive all that he has acheived.  NBC published a story about him being inspirational.  No doubt.  He didn’t tell anyone about it until after the Trials.

BTW, his older brother Ryan, one of my clients, was not a swimming slouch either, competing for GA Tech after setting records for Parkview.

So, if you don’t get the chance to watch anything else during the Olympics, tune in and cheer on Eric in the 200 meter Breast stroke.

I’ll post up video and results after the event.  I’ll also try to bug Ryan for some pictures after the event…

What is Hyper-Local Content, and why do you care?

Not really a sexy topic…  Mini TownBut, one of the more important things we can talk about.  Let’s start with a definition…

Hyper-Local Content is writing about a certain specific area.  For example, writing about the goings on, events, properties and market activity for Lilburn, GA… as opposed to writing about the Atlanta market or the national housing picture.

I would be the first to say that the Atlanta housing market is important.  Even the national picture is worthy of examination, but for those of us in and around Lilburn, what is happening on Main Street is more important than what is happening on Peachtree Street.

In the next couple of weeks we will be rolling out a hyper-local blog about Lilburn, GA.  We will be talking about properties on the market, transactions, market trends, local businesses, places to go, people to meet and things to do.  We’ll talk about Parkview Football, and we’ll talk about developments.

If you are a local business, and would like to write a post, let me know.  Not an ad… a post.  Got a garage sale?  Selling your home without an agent?  Think someone should be profiled?  Shoot me an email.

Stay tuned for the new web address and the announcement that it is ready to go.

Finally! And the winner is…

Effective today, I have joined Diamond Dwellings Realty.

Diamond Dwellings is somewhat of a boutique brokerage umbrella.  All of the agents with Diamond Dwellings work in a different and specific niche.  Most readers here are well aware of my GarageHomesUSA site, and my niche as the expert for cool garage properties in Gwinnett County, GA.  That is certainly going to continue. In fact, over the course of the next few months, I will be teaming with other agents in the office, and agents in new offices to more effectively market GarageHomes.

Also in the next few weeks, we will be rolling out a niche on one of the specific areas I service.  I have done a LOT of market reporting for Gwinnett County.  I will continue that reporting, but will also be developing more targeted reports.

I will also be helping to develop new markets both locally and in other areas for Diamond Dwellings.

This is a pretty exciting brokerage model from the viewpoint of either a consumer or an agent/broker.  The use of “Web 2.0” technologies is and will continue to allow better communication and between agents and their clients and customers.  It also allows more effective marketing of properties.

I’m sure I’ll be writing about this really cool change in the coming weeks and months.

Embrace Change!

Embrace change…

I was looking for the clip in Wayne’s World where Rob Lowe’s character asks Garth (Dana Carvey) what he thinks of the changes to Wayne’s World as it goes corporate.

In the clip, Garth replies to Rob Lowe, “Change?  We fear change.”

I see that as all too true.  But, change is here to stay.  It is a constant.

Don’t fear the change.  Embrace the change.

There is a big change coming to GarageHomesUSA and LaneBailey.com.  We’ve been working on this a little while and we’re almost ready to go public.

What I can say right now is that I will be adding another blog (I guess the three aren’t enough) that will be focused on one area in Gwinnett County.  GarageHomesUSA will start to broaden its focus over the next few months to cover issues in more areas of the country.

I’m really looking forward to these cool new changes.

I’m expecting to take listing blogs to a whole new level as well…
