Fairway Oaks is 1st Mid-Modern Neighborhood Listed on National Register


Fairway Oaks, a midtown neighborhood, has been officially approved by the National Register as "the first Mid-Modern subdivsion listed in the National Register in the state of Georgia."

Fairway Oaks was the first mid-20th-century suburban residential development to break with Savannah's 200 year-old tradition of laying out neighborhoods in a grid plan based on General Oglethorpe's original 1733 plan by using a curvilinear street layout with cul-de-sacs.

If you are interested in Savannah's Mid-20th-Century neighborhoods please contact us as we have an agent dedicated to selling Mid-Modern subdivisions! 912 233 6000.

Savannah Recycles!


2009 is going to start off with a decidedly "green" foot... YAHOO!!

After many years of negotiation, curbside recycling collection will begin Savannah the week of Jan. 5, 2009. Recyclables will be collected twice monthly on the same day as your regular household waste collection.

Of course, there are a few "rules" that need to be followed to make this project a success but they are the typical do's and don't's of all recycling collections so have no fear!

For more information on the program, visit the City’s website. And keep an eye out for a black and yellow recycling bin, coming to a curbside near you.

Nationally renowned real estate marketing and technology speaker and REALTOR.com® Vice President, Max Pigman, recently presented Marjorie Maddox and Peter Nelsen of Cora Bett Thomas Realty the “Real Estate Online Marketing Award of Excellence.” The Award of Excellence recognizes top agents who consistently provide great marketing services on behalf of their buyers and sellers.


“There are always some real estate agents who distinguish themselves from other agents by doing a little more for their sellers.” says Max Pigman, Vice President of REALTOR.com®. Cora Bett Thomas Realty provides it agents with enhanced features for every listing on REALTOR.com. The enhanced features provided to all agents are additional photos, customized headlines, video tours, and showcase status for each listing.


“Our agents and clients appreciate that we help bring more attention to the unique selling attributes of their home and ultimately help attract more qualified buyers. Buyers are also appreciative of a well presented home that has a better description and more ways to learn about the property before arranging an appointment,” said Cora Bett Thomas, president and CEO of Cora Bett Thomas Realty.


The excellence award was presented to Maddox and Nelsen and other agents at a recent real estate marketing and technology seminar that demonstrated cutting edge techniques for leveraging the Internet and technology in real estate marketing. “Videos have become an essential tool for marketing a home. I add videos to my listings because buyers today want the whole story. Pictures can hide defects or undesirable features, but with video everything is there. There are no surprises that could waste the time of a buyer,” said Nelsen. The agents at Cora Bett Thomas Realty have received positive responses from buyers and sellers alike.

'Forrest Gump' swims from Tybee to Hilton Head Island


Swimming has been a part of Nash McIntosh's life since he was a youngster growing up at Isle of Hope. He swam competitively in college and while serving in the U.S. Navy, and most every day takes the plunge at Tybee Island.


So friends weren't too surprised when they heard that Nash, who is an associate for Cora Bett Thomas Realty and a character in his own right, decided to swim from Tybee Island to Hilton Head Island. He attempted the feat three times before but gave out while en route.

"I'm pretty good at failures, but I'm like Forrest Gump," Nash said, referring to the quirky movie character of the same name who was enthusiastic about everything he attempted. "I just keep on swimming."


When Nash turned 70 in May, he decided to try the Tybee/Hilton Head swim once again in recognition of reaching such a milestone in his life. This time he studied the tide, the currents and the shipping schedules before his sea adventure.
