Real Estate Es tate

with Jess Barron

What Is Due Diligence?

When purchasing real estate, it is important to know what a “due diligence” period is. This is the opportunity for the buyer to do their homework and discover information about the property they are purchasing. The due diligence period is negotiable between the buyer and seller and is part of the purchase and sale agreement.

In residential real estate, this time period is typically the first 7 to 14 days of the contract, but can be longer or shorter. This is the best time for a buyer to conduct a home inspection. Some people think of due diligence like an option. The buyer can option out of the contract without any penalty and have their earnest money returned in full.

Regarding home inspections, the buyer can use the ability to option out of the contract as leverage for concerns found during the home inspection. The purchaser may ask the seller for home repairs during this time period and may opt out of the contract if the seller does not agree. This puts a lot of pressure on the seller to handle some, if not all, of the requests made by the buyer. This is quite the change from the “buyer beware” era of real estate in the past, when there typically was no due diligence period and the buyer was “locked-in” the contract.

Home inspections are not all that is conducted during a due diligence period. In land purchases, a buyer may perform a perc test, to confirm that the soil is sufficiently permeable to water. This is necessary in rural areas for septic tanks. If the land is being rezoned, the purchaser may need a lengthy due diligence to determine if the local government will rezone the property for the intended use. For example, a buyer may want to rezone a property from rural conservation to commercial. This would require a rezoning hearing with the local governing authority. Typically, you will see several months of due diligence allowed for this process.

In the history of real estate, the due diligence period is still a relatively new concept. Due diligence is controversial to some agents as they see sellers getting taken advantage of. A buyer beats a seller down on price initially during the contract negotiation and then comes back again a few days later to negotiate again during the due diligence period. To protect themselves, sellers can attempt to sell “as-is” with no repairs.

In a strong real estate market, the seller can also use their market to advantage. If the buyer threatens to back out during due diligence, it is likely the seller will find another buyer quickly. This gives the seller some negotiation power. At the same time, it may be very difficult for the buyer to find another home in a competitive market.

Notes from Perry Street

John A. Winters, Publisher, Editor john@wintersmedia.net

and a Little Zen Every now and then I step back and take stock of, well, what’s going on. It has not been a pretty few months.

Russia has restarted bombing what are obviously civilian apartments, killing children without a thought. Why ordinary Russians have not stormed Putin’s lair is beyond me.

There is another civil war in Africa. I am not aware of a time in my life when there wasn’t a war somewhere in Africa.

And then we have France. The country is in the midst of major rioting from one end to the other.

By rioting I mean water cannons, batons, riot gear, shots fired, hundreds of police and rioters injured.

And why have the French taken to the trenches, er streets? The government had the audacity to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64.

We are not alone here in the old U.S.A. We seem to be on a shooting spree.

A child is shot because her ball bounced into her neighbor’s yard. A black teenager was killed when he knocked on the wrong door. Ask your neighbor to tone down firing off his AK-47 in the front yard? That’s a shooting that led to the execution-style killing of five family members.

Two teenagers - cheerleaders no less - were shot when they got into the wrong car. Their assailant followed them to their car and shot them. When they start shooting the cheerleaders …

A former president has been indicted on more than 30 counts relating to using campaign funds to cover up an affair with a porn star. I never thought I would write a sentence like that. The former vice president just testified before an investigative panel regarding the aforementioned former president’s role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots to determine whether the former president tried to overthrow the elections.

Everyone, that being government types, is raising hell about the Chinese-owned app Tik-Tok, saying our Eastern friends are using the information gleaned to spy on Americans.

News flash to the few who don’t get it yet. Our phones are spying on us. (Everyone nod their heads please). Don’t believe me? Start talking about anything near your phone. I promise whatever you were talking about will show up in your next Internet search.

A few other things on my mind …

How to leave your phone number. One does not leave a long message and then say “my number is: 9185551212.” I got, maybe, the first two numbers. I will now have to replay your looooong message multiple times to get your number. Try this: “my number is 918 … 555 … 1212. Those … are pauses if you were wondering.

Speaking of phones, when someone tries to leave you a message and you get the nice recording saying “the mailbox is full … goodbye,” or “the mailbox has not been set up, goodbye,” yeah, people will not want to do business with you.

And speaking of business, what is up with this new trend of just not showing up for a scheduled meeting? By scheduled, I’m talking about accepting calendar invites, text reminders, etc., and then playing ghost. How do these people stay in business?

Final thoughts.

At Easter, when we are supposed to be celebrating Jesus’ resurrection, many families have lamb. Probably just as many have ham. Jesus was Jewish.

Last two: there is an animal called the East Asian Raccoon Dog and you are not using your manual can opener correctly - do the Google.

When Treating Strokes, Every Minute Counts Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. As a result, Piedmont Newnan Hospital is on a mission to increase awareness of stroke signs, symptoms and risk factors. While Piedmont Newnan can provide excellent care for patients suffering from stroke, the biggest factor in creating positive outcomes is for a person to act quickly at the first signs of symptoms.

“Time means everything when it comes to a patient’s potential recovery from a stroke,” said Robin Baker, RN, BSN, SCRN, CEN, Stroke Program Manager at Piedmont Newnan. “If you are experiencing any symptoms of a stroke or other cardiac event, call 9-1-1 immediately. Your outcomes are far worse from a heart attack or stroke if you delay care or do not come to the hospital.”

A stroke is when the blood flow to the brain is interrupted due to a blockage or a ruptured blood vessel. When this happens, the brain does not receive oxygen that is required to prevent brain cells from dying.

The key of optimal recovery of a stroke and decreasing disability is to B.E.F.A.S.T.:  Balance - sudden dizziness or loss of balance  Eyes - sudden vision loss or double vision  Face - look for an uneven smile  Arm - check if one arm or leg is weak  Speech - listen for slurred speech or difficulty speaking  Time - call 9-1-1 right away

According to the Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Center, Georgia is part of a group of 11 states, call the Stroke Belt, where the risk of having a stroke is 34 percent higher than in other areas of the country. Researchers attribute this to higher rates of obesity, smoking and cardiovascular disease such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

“The faster a stroke is recognized and treatment is provided to restore blood flow to the brain the greater chance disability will be reduced. Every minute nearly 2 million brain cells can die. Recognizing the symptoms and calling 9-1-1 immediately are the first steps to improving outcomes, “said Baker.

Community Impact

Piedmont’s Community Impact Brings Its Purpose to Life Piedmont Newnan and other nearby Piedmont hospitals performed more than 130 community involvement activities, more than 100 health education and awareness activities, and over 20 community health services.

Each year, in accordance with government requirements as a nonprofit health system, Piedmont prepares a community benefit report narrowly defined by the federal government, with fixed dollar amounts and time directly related to improving the health of its communities.

Nevertheless, Piedmont’s efforts extend beyond quantifiable financial benefits. That is why for the past two years, Piedmont has prepared a Community Impact Report that highlights the myriad ways its team members — physicians, nurses, executives, staff and beyond — fulfill Piedmont’s purpose to make a positive difference in every life and every community we touch, showing the qualitative depth of its impact in the communities we serve across the state.

During Piedmont’s Fiscal Year 2022 (July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022), Piedmont performed more than 345 community involvement activities, 110 health education and awareness activities, 55 community health services, 50 Physician Enterprise activities and 20 Diversity Equity and Inclusion activities. In addition, Piedmont employees were represented on more than 265 board or committee memberships. Piedmont provided nearly $360 million in Community Benefit in FY 2022, including approximately $310 million in uncompensated care.

At the local level, Piedmont Newnan provided medical screenings and supplies to patients of the Coweta Samaritan Clinic, including 500 COVID-19 test kits in partnership with Georgia-Pacific, free screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, free lab testing and diagnostic imaging. Over the course of 2022, Piedmont Newnan served 117 Coweta Samaritan women through free screening mammograms. The Coweta Samaritan Clinic is a local, nonprofit organization that provides free medical care in a faith-based environment to adult residents of Coweta County who lack health insurance.

Piedmont Newnan also participated in the Newnan Utilities Health Fair, Coweta County Employees Health and Wellness Fair, and the CowetaFayette EMC Health Fair, where staff provided informational materials on strokes, oncology services, breast health, rehabilitation services, cardiovascular and dietary information and health services including blood pressure checks and hands-only CPR. More than 2,000 at-home COVID-19 test kits were distributed to attendees. Piedmont Newnan also hosted “Discussion with a Doc,” during which a few physicians raised community awareness and discussed the latest screenings and technologies for breast, lung and urology patients.

“The impact Piedmont makes in our communities makes me so proud to be a part of this organization,” said Vicki Kaiser, COO at Piedmont Newnan. “Our purpose to make a positive difference is lived out every day across our state and beyond. At Piedmont, Real Change Lives Here.”

PNH Wellness Fair Piedmont team members supported hundreds of other community partners and their work in its communities. Among these activities are: providing health and wellness services and education, partnering with other non-profits to sponsor their events, volunteering alongside other non-profits in their work, and serving in a leadership capacity of community Boards or other professional and civic organizations.

“At Piedmont Newnan, we strive to not only take great care of our community members when they are inside our facility but also to get out into the community to provide some basic health services to those who may not otherwise have access,” said Kaiser. “In addition, we hope that connecting with local residents before they are in need of acute care helps put them at ease when they do need to come to our hospital.”

Coweta County

4-H Spotlight:

Avery Pruett earns 3 Master Titles By: Roberta Prince, Coweta County 4-H Program Assistant & Bill Hammond, Coweta County 4-H Extension Agent Coweta County 4-H is honored to shine the spotlight on Avery Pruett, 10th grade 4-H member who has been actively participating in the 4-H Horse & Pony club and several competition teams since the 3rd grade in 2015. She also attended a special project club led by a senior 4-H’er for members that did not own horses to expand knowledge of horse ownership. Eager to learn all things horse, Avery joined the competitive teams Horse Quiz Bowl, Hippology and Horse Judging the following year as a junior 4-H’er. She has helped lead several Junior teams to success many times over the years.

Avery has continued to expand her horse experience and community service through riding lessons, serving on the Horse & Pony club student board, assisting with a project horse club, and competing in the Horse Project at the district project achievement contest.

Many hours of dedication to the 4-H horse program paid off this year when Avery attained Master Status as Senior High Individual at the State Horse Judging Contest, helped her team to a 1st place finish, and completed her 4-H Master Horseman qualification. A 4-H Master Horseman must complete and submit the state Novice, Intermediate, and Master Record Books to the State Office for review and then complete a riding test. All three masters were awarded on April 15th in Athens, GA at the State 4-H Horse Judging Contest. The Coweta County Horse Judging Team included Avery Pruett, Gabriela Luna, Sylvia O’Neal, and Amanda Chrzanowski.

Avery’s dedication allowed her to lease a horse with little formal

training and work with the horse under the supervision of her instructor, Shannon Betts, at Paradise Found Farms. Avery will be able to show her horse at the State 4-H Horse show this summer in Perry, GA. Avery is also a member of the Coweta 4-H Poultry Judging team who recently placed 1st at the district competition and will represent Coweta County at the State Poultry Judging Competition. She attends 4-H Ag Discovery club, volunteers many hours in the Animal Barn during the County Fair, and competes at 4-H Project Achievement in the Horse Project.

Coweta County 4-H will represent Georgia at the Southern Regional Horse Championship in Perry, Georgia in August and Western Roundup in Denver, Colorado in January.

Horse Judging calls for contestants to compare their opinion of a horse against the ideal, as specified by industry experts, in confor-

mation and performance classes. Conformation classes analyze the anatomical build of a horse, and performance classes analyze the execution of riding patterns. The Hippology contest incorporates the concepts of Horse Judging as a four-part competition that includes a written test, skill station, judging class, and team problem solving set. Decision making, critical thinking, and public speaking are key elements of both horse judging and hippology.

The equine industry has a $2.5 billion impact on Georgia’s economy in an average year. UGA Faculty and industry experts contribute to the curriculum used to train Horse Judging and Hippology contestants and help connect youth with pertinent applications of the skills they learn.

Georgia 4-H empowers youth to become true leaders by developing necessary life skills, positive relationships, and community awareness. As the premier youth leadership organization in the state, 4-H reaches hundreds of thousands of people annually through UGA Extension offices and 4-H facilities.

For more information about how to get involved with Hippology, Horse Judging, and Georgia 4-H, contact the Coweta County University of Georgia County Extension Office or visit www.georgia4h.org.

Kathy Bohannon’s

Front Porch Stories I’m thankful for the women in my life I’ve had many blessings in the company I keep.

They are my sisters, my tribe. Some are my Bible study girlfriends, past and present. Some are my crafting friends. One is my actual sister while another is my sister-in-law. They are the women in my life that I absolutely know are sent by God. Though we all have our own paths, we are intentional in getting together or at least messaging, texting, calling and when the distance is too great and the time has been too long, even FaceTiming.

Whether friends for decades or just a few years or months, I’m blessed with some great women in my life. We are as different as we can be, but we also share similar interests or beliefs. And while those interests tend to expand, the beliefs we share just go deeper. I love that about “us."

There’s something about having a tribe. Maybe it’s being secure in knowing you have family beyond the one you were actually born into. Maybe it’s knowing they are there for you as you are for them. We need all these things, especially now.

In 2020, as we all know, the pandemic hit. One of the hardest parts of it for my husband and I was that our church had to pause in-person services. He and I felt very much alone until our pastor began hosting weekly meetings for everyone on Zoom. It was the highlight of our week. We saw one another in completely different lights. Instead of inside the church or on the church lawn, we saw our church family in their living rooms, dining rooms and porches. We got to meet each other’s dogs and cats. We prayed together, encouraged, and shared a bit of our week with each other. We laughed together, something that is very filling for my soul. My husband and I felt very much like we had an extended family because of this connection each week. We even talked about it throughout the week, eagerly anticipating the Christ-based “family” connection we would experience on the next Zoom in the following week.

Besides my church family, my crafting family is a big part of my life. I love that we can bond over creativity. I enjoy three main crafting groups, one that I can knit with every Saturday, another that I need

to travel (because I moved) four hours away, and still another I enjoy going to retreats with. It’s this last group of friends that also meet locally several times a year to just spend two days creating and crafting.

My kids are grown and living their own lives, which is how we had hoped things would go. Probably because the years raising them is a blur, I try to stay focused on the day-to-day experiences I have with my church family, my work and my tribes. It’s all about connecting with like-minded people, and in my case, most of my friends are sisters in Christ. It’s a safe zone, where one can be uplifted, another can share her heart, while another might make us laugh until we have tears running down our faces.

I’m thankful for the women in my life who are part of my growth as a Christian, a crafter and as a woman.

Life is beautiful, especially when you have a great tribe of women sharing yours with you.

In Praise of a Silky-Smooth Pie

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Hartwell, Georgia. My friend Kathy and I had just finished browsing a local artisan fair and stopped by a downtown café for lunch. Our sandwiches were delicious and filling, which was unfortunate, because it was only after we’d already eaten that we decided to check out the refrigerator cases brimming with desserts for sale.

Now I can’t remember the name of the enormous pie slice I saw that day, but it was something like Caramel Turtle Chocolate Crunch Pie and looked like it had about three inches of whipped cream adorning the top. Since I was going home the next day, I didn’t want the bother of packing a slice of refrigerator pie and lugging it to the hotel and then back to Newnan.

Part of me wishes I had, though. At this time of the year, a creamy, cool slice of pie is such a fine idea.

When I first began researching vintage recipes, I wondered why so many recipes existed for something called French Silk Pie. It turned out the recipe wasn’t French at all, and the “silk” in the name simply referred to the silky, velvety-smooth texture of the pie.

One “silky” pie that I have enjoyed making is this Chocolate Silk Pie once served at a tearoom in Virginia.

It’s quite easy to make, even if it does require a good bit of beating, and the hardest part is making sure to buy pasteurized eggs, which are important to use in this recipe since they’re uncooked. With whipped cream and chocolate jimmies on top, this pie looks much fancier than it is, making it a great candidate for summer celebrations.

Recipe

Chocolate Silk Pie CRUST: o 1/2 cup unsalted butter o 1/2 cup granulated sugar o 2 cups graham cracker crumbs FILLING: o 1/2 cup unsalted butter o 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar o 1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate, melted according to package directions and cooled o Pinch of salt o 1 teaspoon vanilla extract o 3 pasteurized eggs (since this filling is uncooked, it’s important to use pasteurized eggs) GARNISH: o 2 cups heavy whipping cream o 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar o Chocolate Jimmies

Chill a 9-inch pie plate in your refrigerator or freezer. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Using electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Slowly add just enough graham cracker crumbs to make a slightly crumbly mixture. Press evenly into pie plate and cook for 5 minutes. Let cool while you prepare the pie filling.

With electric mixer, beat butter and confectioners' sugar till light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate, salt and vanilla. Add one egg and beat for 5 minutes. Add second egg and beat for 5 minutes. Add third egg and beat for 5 minutes. Pour filling into cooled pie shell and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Before serving, prepare whipped cream by adding confectioners' sugar to the heavy whipping cream and beating with electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Pipe or spread onto top of pie and garnish with chocolate Jimmies.

Tips to Survive High Pollen Days, Manage Allergies

It’s been another record-breaking pollen season in Georgia, and people of all ages have been suffering from sneezing, congestion, itching, and watery eyes.

More than 100 million people in the United States have asthma or allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. May is National Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month, and each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and other healthcare organizations educate the public about allergic diseases.

Here are some allergy and asthma facts from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America: • Nearly 26 million people in the U.S. have asthma (20.7 million adults and 4.8 million children) • About 20 million people in the U.S. have food allergies (16.0 million adults and 4.3 million children) • About 80 million people in the U.S. have rhinitis due to nasal allergies, also called “hay fever” (66.4 million adults and 13.9 million children) Atlanta Allergy & Asthma, an allergy practice with 18 locations in the Atlanta area including Fayetteville, offers some advice on how to survive high pollen days, how to manage allergies and why people should consider seeing an allergist.

Surviving High Pollen Count Days Allergy sufferers can follow Atlanta Allergy &

counts tend to be lower, usually between 4 a.m. and noon.

• Take allergy medication before outdoor plans.

Don’t wait until you experience symptoms.

• To receive an accurate diagnosis, visit a boardcertified allergist, who can help you figure out what is triggering your symptoms and create a treatment plan for your specific allergens.

Asthma’s daily pollen count (trees, grass and weeds) and mold activity count on the allergy group’s website. Atlanta Allergy & Asthma offers these tips for surviving high pollen count days: • Keep windows (car and house) closed. Instead run the air conditioner on the recycled setting.

• Change or clean air filters regularly.

• Pollen can settle into hair and onto clothes and skin, so shower when you get home or before going to bed.

• Wear sunglasses or glasses to keep pollen out of the eyes.

• Remove shoes before entering your home.

• For indoor pets, wash off their paws and wipe down their fur with a damp towel if they’ve been outside. This prevents pets from tracking pollen into the house.

• Participate in outdoor activities when pollen

Allergy Basics Atlanta Allergy & Asthma provides some information on allergy definitions, symptoms and why allergy sufferers should consider seeing an allergist.

What are allergies?

An allergy is an abnormal sensitivity or exaggerated reaction of the immune system to a substance that causes no symptoms in most people.

Allergens are substances that trigger allergic reactions. Examples include plant pollen, pet dander, insect venom, dust, mold, foods and drugs.

Allergic rhinitis, also known as allergies or hay fever, is a type of inflammation in the nasal membranes that occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the air. Common symptoms include nasal congestion; itching in the nose, mouth, eyes or throat; sneezing; drainage; cough and headaches.

Allergic rhinitis has two forms, seasonal and perennial. Seasonal allergic rhinitis can occur in

spring, summer and early fall. Symptoms are usually caused by allergic sensitivity to airborne mold spores or to pollen from grass, trees and weeds. Perennial allergic rhinitis is year-round. It is usually caused by dust mites, pet hair or dander, cockroaches or mold.

What are allergy symptoms?

Some common symptoms associated with allergies include: runny nose, post nasal drip, sneezing, congestion, coughing and itchy/watery eyes.

Less common allergy symptoms include: headaches, loss of taste and smell, low productivity/ poor concentration, fatigue, sleep disturbances and snoring.

When should someone see an allergist?

An allergist is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic conditions including asthma, sinusitis, seasonal allergies, food allergies and severe allergic reactions.

It’s important to identify what is causing a person’s allergy symptoms, and allergy testing is required. Allergists have the proper tools and understand the tests and investigations required to diagnose allergies and allergy-related problems.

Allergy testing can provide information on what a person is allergic to. These tests could include a skin test or a blood test. Treatment options for allergies include allergy shots, drops and tablets.

May is Military Appreciation Month.

Introduced in May 1999 by Sen. John McCain, this month is set aside to reflect on the sacrifices current and former military personnel have made for each of us. If you are presently in the military, have previously served, or a member of the family of someone serving, I want to say “thank you.” I do know that the freedom I have today is because of you.

I am a proud Army Brat. Both my daddy and my granddaddy served in the Army. While the word “brat” may have a negative tone to some, most Army Brats wear the name like a badge of honor.

Army Brats are often more resilient than their civilian counterparts due to the moves, the stressors, and the cultural experiences they share.

While a definitive explanation of where the term Army Brat originated is hard to find, many trace it to the acronym for British Regiment Attached Traveler.

This term was given to families who were able to travel abroad with their soldier. It soon referenced just the military children.

A researcher, Dr. Grace Clifton, also found a song from 1707 in a play called “The Recruiting Officer” that described soldier life. The song referenced “brats and wives.”

In the 1942 War Dictionary, the term is defined as “in regard to the children of Army officers,” and was a term of endearment.

While I am not sure of the origin, I am and have always been, very proud to be an Army Brat. I am also very proud that through my company – Home Helpers Home Care – we are able to provide veterans with quality home care. I consider it a great privilege to be given the opportunity to share in their care as they age.

Many veterans and their families may not realize

Senior Living Advice with BETH DOW, Geriatric Care Manager

that they may qualify for Home Care Services paid for by the Veterans Administration (VA). The Community Care Network offers Home Health Aide, Homemaker and Respite Care for eligible veterans.

This is a health care program as opposed to a pension program.

There are no income or network requirements, but you do need to be enrolled in the VA Health System. Most veterans are eligible to receive 6 to 16 hours per week. Hours are determined by the needs of the veteran and can be extended to 24 hour a day!

The first step in applying for this service is to fill out the 10-10EZ form. You can download the form from the VA website.

National Military appreciation month, flanked by the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe (VE Day) and Memorial Day, with Military Spouse Appreciation Day in the middle (May 12), gives us all the perfect opportunity to publicly show our appreciation for our troops, and their families – past and present.
