Show Notes

Halloween collided with a home football game, Kiwanis topped up the diaper drive, we discovered Smyrna's North Cooper Lake Park (kid-friendly bike skills loops!), and we unpack Cobb 101 + SPLOST basics. We also share why Santa at Phipps is an ATL tradition worth booking early, and we cover October's market snapshot for Cobb & Cherokee with practical winter strategies for buyers and sellers.
