Living on the coast of Georgia is a lot of fun and if you choose an active lifestyle, a bicycle is must have.  I have owned a lot of bikes in my life starting with a brand new burnt red 10 speed Schwinn my parents bought for me back in 1977.  It was too big for me but I grew into it after a year or so and then enjoyed the heck out of it until it was finally stolen out of our garage a few years later.  I gave up bikes when I got my first car, a 1971 Plymouth Duster but found myself back on the bike during my college years.  Later, I moved into downtown Savannah where a bicycle is a must have due to parking shortages.

What are other agents telling your agent about your home? An overly high price may be discouraging buyers from making an offer. 3. Your home’s b...
