As your buyers agent I will guarantee that any broker bonus offered will be refunded to you- - right now that is an extra $1000 . Also there are many buyer incentives available - I will make sure you receive them all. GA real estate law can be very detailed and complicated–not being represented by a real estate professional can end up becoming a very costly mistake. Remember the on-site agent represents the builder–not you–it is actually illegal for an agent to practice dual agency (represent both sides). And most importantly it doesn’t cost you anything to use a buyer agent - the builder pays the same commission whether you are represented or not!

Located just 30 minutes from the heart of Atlanta and accessible from Hwy 20, I-75 and I-575 is gorgeous Lake Allatoona. Planned by the Army Corps of Engineers, Lake Allatoona has become a favorite visiting site for over 6 million people a year! North Georgians enjoy Lake Allatoona for a variety of reasons including boating, camping, hiking, fishing and wildlife viewing.

Lake Allatoona was created by damming the Etowah River near Cartersville, and the lake extends from Canton (Central Cherokee County) to Cartersville (South Bartow County) to Acworth (North Cobb County). The lake covers approx 12,010 acres and is surrounded by 25,000 additional acres that is reserved as public lands and maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. They currently maintain 688 campsites on the lake and 453 picnic sites. In addition there are seven city and county parks, one state park, and eight commercial marinas.

Lake Allatoona abounds with all kinds of fish including spotted bass, hybrid bass, bream, crappie and catfish. Allatoona also contains striped bass - more elusive to catch but most rewarding! Fishing early or late in the day seems to be preferred to avoid the crowds of boaters, swimmers and water recreational activities. Bank fishing is quite popular too though with catfish being the main catch of the day.

There are many hiking trails waiting challenged. Red Top Mountain Park is considered by many hikers to be a great hike. It has nearly 10 miles of easy to moderate trails that feature views of the lake and an assortment of interesting wildlife. A shorter hike available is the site of a decisive Civil War Battle. You pass through a gorge dug by slaves and end up by a star fort once inhabited by Confederate soldiers trying to repel the onslaught of Yankee soldiers.

There are several informative web sites about fishing and hunting at Lake Allatoona. For more info you can go to the GA Outdoor News Site. For info on hunting call the Allatoona Lake Operations Office at 678-721-6700.
