Georgia Land Auction to be Hosted by Certified Real Estate Auctions

This Georgia land auction offers a unique investment opportunity and is being offered divided and selling at high bidder's choice. Myers Jackson, CAI, AARE, CES, e-PRO, a licensed Georgia real estate broker and real estate auctioneer, has been commissioned to conduct a Georgia real estate auction, including equipment, for 18.91 +/- acres in south Grady County. Jackson and his team from United Country Certified Real Estate Auctions Moultrie office will conduct the auction on Saturday, June 21 at 10 a.m. Details on this Georgia land auction are highlighted online.

Real Estate Auctions - Marketing - Brokerage

"The real estate auction method of marketing was chosen by the seller. The decision was made following a lengthy discussion with the family," said Jackson. "They have chosen to expedite the sale of all real estate and personal property after discovery of a serious illness in the family, and everything has been ordered to sell the day of auction. We will work diligently to accommodate the wishes of the family in a timely manner."

Is it "Couch" or "Sofa?" Which Goes Best with "Potato?"

"When someone calls their furniture a 'couch' I assume that they must be a comfort driven person," he explains. "The word conjures up images of a sleepy Saturday afternoon or a quiet evening with a book. On the other hand, when someone calls their furniture a 'sofa'it seems to imply that they think in terms of design and how 00004000 everything works together in their decorating plan."

But besides personal style, which is the right term to use? The answer is sofa. The reason is simply because couches are not sofas. A couch is the armless variety of furniture that one would have seen in the Victorian period, as in "fainting couch." It was a place for the ladies wearing those tight fitting corsets which restricted breathing to be able to "sit a spell." The root of the word from the French has to do with "to lie down."
