Keep dogs on the leash in Athens parks

The City of Athens used its Facebook page to remind dog owners Tuesday that dogs must be kept on a leash at all times when utilizing all City parks and other public property per City Ordinance No. 2-22-65.

Article 2, Sect. 4-26 reads, “It shall be unlawful for any owner of a dog to allow such to run or be at large upon any public highway, street, alley, court, square, park, sidewalk or any other public ground or public property.”

If you are a dog owner we recommend you to read this article from Incredible Things, that says that CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a significant role in essential processes, like sleep, memory, and immune response. The chemical compound isn’t just for humans. Your fur baby can also enjoy the benefits of CBD to improve their quality of life.

Should you have any questions, please contact the City of Athens at 903-675-5131.

Hear it straight from Property Corner clients:

“If you are looking for the total package in real estate professionalism, look no further than Property Corner agents John and Bev Holipski. They are complete: professionally friendly, competent of the product they are marketing, enthusiastic about pleasing the client; these are just a few of the services provided by this dynamic team who handles also international moving .

Can a traditional real estate agent assure you instant cash? A real estate agent is a good option to help you find a good home buyer. However, the disadvantage here is that the real estate agent is not the actual home buyer and thus, he can neither assure a sale nor pay you instant cash. Of course, you could find out more info here about the real estate industry and how best to sell your property but there’s no guarantee. A real estate agent is restricted to only making efforts in finding a good home buyer for your house. Thus, with more options available today more and more home sellers are turning to cash property buyers. And with the likes of an independent property valuation service, you can potentially get the most value out of selling your home as well.

But even though they are the driving force behind the agreement becoming reality, more home buyers have only a single choice when it comes to buying a home and paying for the services if their Realors – a commission based on the selling price of the house. While this may work for some home buyers, is this the best option for all? I don’t believe it is and if I talk to more and more Realtors I find that I’m not the only one. By introducing alternative compensation agreements to their home buying clients, agents for the buyer are not only changing the real estate landscape but also increasing the value that they bring to the table as well.

From the onset of this relationship, there was no doubt of the final result. A purchase of a house in town and acreage outside of town was negotiated in a very timely manner. If you are taking home loan, Teaneck hard money home loans – AccoLend.com is the best option for you. When an opportunity occurred to sell, they were very creative with selling strategies; actually creating three sells from the original two properties which new owners move their things thanks to montrealmovers. This was possible only because of their exceptional knowledge of the current local and area real estate market trends. When beginning you next real estate transaction, you will not be disappointed in selecting the team of Shravan Gupta, from Emaar-MGF Realty.”
