hello, well ms lady i work in south amboy at the MHS as a safety officer. and moving to peachtree city on march 21,2024. this video was so informative.
I have been born & raised here in NJ my whole life. At 65 years old, I think I want finally want to move for warmer weather. Family & jobs is what keep most people in NJ. I lived in Irvington to just past college. Irvington was a great town blue collar town at one time. Sorry to say, the cities you lived in are not safe cities anymore & they haven't been safe in a very long time. The riots in Newark in 1968 changed everything. I have lived in Hunterdon County/west NJ for 23 years. Except for taxes & cold winters, I love it here. I have no sidewalks, nature is all around me/I have 3 acres, and we have amazing restaurants & plenty of chain restaurants, too. Your experience in NJ is typical for those who live anywhere along the NY skyline area/eastern part of NJ - crowded cities, tolls, traffic. I don't have those things where I live. NJ gets misjudged many times because many haven't experienced all their is to offer.
I moved south from South NJ in 2012...Charlotte to be exact...When I first thought of moving south I looked into Georgia and I really wasn't feeling the vibe down there...I remembered visting Charlotte in 2008 for a conference and I absolutely loved it there...Fast forward to 2020 I've sinced relocated back to NJ and I regret it. I want to move back to Charlotte however it has become more populated and has been hit with gentrification...I'm thinking I may at least get back to NC one day.
I understand - Gentrification is going on everywhere, even in most high traffic towns in Georgia. I pray that you can settle where your heart desires.. Take care and you can always reach out to me I have some team members that service Charlotte when you choose to move back. All the best!🥰🥰
Great video! The HARDEST thing for me to adjust to about leaving NYC and North Jersey was finding good pizza and bagels. Oh I miss it!
You are soo wonderful!
Y’all pizza good but not better than Chicago 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Why
@@shortmovies3966 Who knows? They are both very good!!
@@laurenlocd3180 Nah I think it’s the other way around 😊
We are thinking about moving down to Georgia from NJ, too. We are in North Jersey now. Taxes kill us, we can barely afford to live. And 6 months of winter pretty much is no fun.
After visiting my brother in Georgia over Thanksgiving, I will be putting my home on the market this year....The taxes are just killing ☠ !! I pay 3 times more in taxes in 1 year than my brother who has a larger home with more property acreage in a gated community. 🤔 Yes, I will be part of the exodus out of New Jersey.
thank you 😊
Wonderful analysis! Thank you much!!!
Thank you for sharing 😍
Dimitajo! Thank you....
I’m from South Amboy so it was refreshing to here your opinion on moving to Georgia!
this is the video I needed to see. you are just lovely and this info was very helpful. tysm! 💗
Thank you so much! Let me know if you need to chat for more insight. All the best!
Wonderful video. Love your personal take on moving to a new place. Georgia sounds tempting!
Thank you for the compliments - I really appreciate you. Remember that Georgia is a large state so you can find a bit of everything 😉
Oh my goodness you are absolutely correct!! We get a LOT of house and land here for our $$, the lifestyle is much more relaxed than other areas, Southern living definitely is more relaxing than city life in bigger cities (I moved to GA from IL and love it), hospitality is so welcoming, we seem to be valued as people more here than in other places and I agree with you on the weather….it’s beautiful! Great video! 🏡💖 I miss pizza too!!! 😂😂
I left NYC in 2019 to Virginia. I miss the transportation Noise and Store's. It's a little to Quite for me but it so clean and friendly. The weather is prefect I hate snow. I still up in the air about moving again.
You didn't get to far. But I must say, Virginia lifestyle is different from NYC. And of course several areas in Georgia have more flare than Virginia. I am very familiar with Virginia my mother's family is from Glouster Co. (Rt. 17) right above Newport News - I spent a lot of summers there because I couldn't stay off of the #2 train. 🥰 Yes, I was one of those kids that played in the subway.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC omg 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome, Ms. Belinda and family! I know y'all have been in GA for year now, but still, welcome!! Loved the video.
Thank you!! 😊
I’m from Atlanta and i definitely welcome you to this city ❤
Great Video!
Thank you - More to come. Stay tuned.
I grew up in a small town and we didn't have sidewalks until I was 16 years old. I can remember my dad being so upset because they took some of our property to install the sidewalks. I love that so much. Thank you so much for this video. I am planning on moving to GA next month was extended a business offer. CA ---->GA
Awe thank you for interacting - I wish you the best with work. I am here if you need any assistance.💖❤🥰🙌
I moved here in 1993 from rahway. The weather was the biggest draw for me. And yes at 60 yo I am still talking about the lack of pizza. Big pie is close to home but I miss being able to graB a coke and a slice however after almost 30 years I'm officially a georgia peach bu I'll never stopbeing a jersey girl
Also originally from The Bronx (and my parents currently live in South Amboy - LOL no comment. Was checking the prices for the new apartment builds in NJ and they are crazy charging that much for paper thin walls, cheap counter tops, etc. Good luck on your life down South :)
Thank You!
I left Brooklyn NY after I retired . I knew nothing about Georgia or Newton county!! We had looked into gated communities with great amenities. However I was introduced to subdivision communities.
And I was hooked!! I am in a brand new home & community. With everything about 5 minutes away. And other shopping areas in a short driving distance. The airport is a straight run on I-20 which is 35 to 40 minutes away. There is no good Chinese food however I found an Habichi Chinese Buffet which is the closest to good food in McDonough. Other restaurant are very reasonable. It's been 1 year and we have quietness and peace of mind.
I am smiling ear-to-ear. Yes, Chinese Food is hard to find and like you I just stay at the Habichi Grills...🍕😊🥰💖
@Carleah the kids Call on me if you need assistance!
Amazing Video !
Thank you Beautiful. Your comments means much. Blessings🥰🥰💖💖
I am looking into Georgia. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I would sure like to assist you with your inquiries.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC Thank you so so much
I will be in touch soon.
Your home is so beautiful love it.
Thank you so much!
Leaving Ct and closing next week on a house in GA!! It’s been a long road because the housing market is insane. My son is in grad school in Jersey but he’ll be done next summer. I’ve spent the last 5 yrs driving back and forth to Jersey. I’m actually going to miss it especially since his school is on the Jersey shore and I love the ocean. Good luck to anyone who just made the move or is thinking about taking a leap of faith!
Congrats to you! 🥰🥰 I know you will miss the shore but I sure do love taking spontaneous long-weekends to Tybee Island and visiting family in Florida - the shore may not be 40mins away but when I get there I can see my feet in the water.. 😆
Great video! New subscriber. I am looking to relocate by the end of this year to next year.
I'd be more than happy to assist you!
Hello from Keyport, NJ. I hope to be moving to GA in the next year or so.
Me too!!
Very nice video
Try Marietta pizza in the Marietta square. They have some of the best Sicilian pizza and pretty good New York (Neapolitan) slice. My family owned some pizzeria in the early 1900s up north when they came here from Italy.
I will make my way over there swiftly.
We enjoyed your video. We subscribed to your UA-cam Channel. We are moving from LA to GA soon. We're also realestate investors and ready to see what atlanta has for offer us. Again ty 4 telling us your personal reasons. Unfortunately we couldn't of used you as our realestate agent we just closed last week on our house. But their will be some other income property deals that we'll be attracted to in metro Atlanta. Again ty Belinda.
Thank you so much - Maybe we can work together with some of your ventures when you get settled in.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC We'd love ❤ too. We got your information and will be in touch in 2022.
Thank you this was great. I am trying to get the nerve to leave Texas to come to Ga. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa. and in Jersey as well. I am so proud of you. I have been living here 22 years never married no babies anymore. Yes, it is definitely time for a change. You got me on that BONUS. I never expected you to say pizza and go into the description lol. But that is what I miss about being here for 22 years. No cheese steaks, no hoagies, no Sausages off the truck. No East Coat pizza or Chicago style. Nothing so I get it. This was an amazing video. Thank you so much.
Thank You Thank you Thank You - I am soo grateful for you. I have to be honest and ask - If you leave Texas, will the next food craving be the BBQ? I binge watch BBQ competition shows and whenever I go to the Fort Worth area, my first stop is the Stockyard.🥰🥰🍕
@Regina Hutchinson I currently live in Philly and am wanting to move soon. I narrowed it down to Texas or Georgia. What part of Texas do you live in? How is it?/
@@groomingwithtyera512 With all due respect to all. I am 59 years of age. l lived in San Antonio, Texas a military town for 22 years. HORRIBLE!. some other areas are a tiny bit better for BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE. I would definitely go to GA. I moved in ARIIL. I am temporary in New jersey. I watched you dog grooming video. I definitely feel Ga There is NOTHING For African Americans in TEXAS. very little however praise God it Is SLOWLY changing.
@@reginahutchinson4057 @grooming with tyera If either of you are looking for help with your transition, schedule some time with me lets chat.
Stumbled across this video 1-22-22. Your NY style exist in Savannah, Ga. on HWY 80 heading to Tybee Island from Victory or Bay Street. The 2 hwy's meet. A friend of mine from NY told me of place. He loved his NY Style pizza. Savannah, GA is a smaller version of NYC.......... I Live in Jacksonville, Fl now but moving back to Savannah, GA.
Although Savannah is 4-hours away, we do love taking long weekend trips. I will have to go there purposely. Thanks for the tip - I look forward to going.
This is a great video. I currently live in NYC. Great pizza for sure. I grew up in the Bronx, 138th street between Saint Anne's Ave, and Cypress Avenue, just steps away from Millbrook projects. I am planning to move to myrtle beach by 2024. Its time to leave NY for better living and warmer weather.
I love it - Thanks for sharing. We vacation in Myrtle Beach every year. Keep in touch!
Myrtle Beach is sooooooooo beautiful.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC I just subscribe to your site. I love it. Will reach out more. Thank you for sharing.❤️
@@Sistahknit Awe - Thanks so much. I am working to get more videos up, but I am having a ball getting you all equipped to make some Lifestyle-Transitions... I love the feedback hope to hear from you soon.🥰❤🍕
I hear the common complaint many times from people that have moved from the tri-state (NY, NJ, CT) area and that you can't get good pizza, bagels or sub sandwiches anywhere else. It's a very common complaint. Pennsylvania doesn't have good pizza either!
I still have family in PA - I was just up there in July. Allentown didn't disappoint me.. LOL😀😋
The regret!! I genuinely laughed out loud, you are so cute!! But for real, I feel your pain on this one! Considering moving down at the end of next summer, and my oh my yes the last time we visited we couldn't find a good pizza! (But I will admit...y'all def got us beat on BBQ!!)
@Cat Thank you so much... Let me know next time you come down, I did find one or two spots to eat..
I just moved here from San Diego have to get use to this weather
Yes a bit chilly, but I love it. Welcome to GA!
newark, Irvington, East orange???? I would move also!!!!!
Lived in both. As congested as north Jersey is, I personally prefer jersey a lot more. Jersey was very diverse in culture and foods, centrally located along eastern seaboard, educated population, and real people that integrated well. Could not say the same for Georgia by any means.
Thanks for your input. I love reading different perspectives. It is important to remember that we all experience what we focus towards. All the best to you no matter where you decide to rest.
I agree with the "pizza issue" here in Ga👍💯! I mentioned to NJ fam. that I haven't come across an authentic tasting pizza restaurant yet! Several ppl in Ga. mentioned Fellini's..I went there, Oh puhleease! 🤭😄. They cannot even Touch the small local pizzerias in NJ!
You're the best!
I’m in NYC and really ready to move today!
Come on down - I will help you get settled..
dont do it
Im moving to ga in 2 months from nyc alone so nervous but the change is necessary im tired of it ..
@@Lateef139 I'm intrigued, why would you discourage someone lifestyle change?
@@ashleybecker7836 Please call on me if you need assistance.. I'm a licensed Realtor.
Well, that was a great story.......oh, am from the esssx county, nj area, now in the gwinnett county area
What! Question - Why did you choose Gwinnett?
We moved from Maryland to Georgia 16 years ago and have not regreted it one day! The Weather and lack of crime compared to where I lived in Maryland was a big factor! We moved to Coweta County in Senoia where it looked like Mayberry RFD then. Not now because of Filming of the Walking Dead has increased Property values so much people improved it! But people are very nice and helpful to strangers. Easy going! I still love it in this area! I will most likely retire here.
That is so incredible. I haven't met any who truly regrets moving here. Many people believe because a lot of companies are moving their headquarters and distribution centers here that it is so congested. But the state is really big and everyone can find their space here. Thanks for sharing and I am not far maybe we can meet for coffee or tea! 🥰🍕🍕 or Pizza!
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC yes, I agree that everyone seems to like it here. Although, I know of people who did regret moving towards the City areas. Busy traffic everywhere and crime is much higher. Thank you for the invite. Unfortunately I work 6 days a week alone and no one to cover for me. So going on a date or having lunch with family and friends is impossible. Hope you have a great weekend
I have been dreaming about #4 🙏🏾
Reality is setting at your feet!
Randolph, NJ to Metro Atlanta and then onto Athens many years ago. No regrets. Welcome South, ma'am!!!! Glad to have you!
Thank you soo much 🥰🥰
Thank You soo Much! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🍕🍕🍕🍕
Me too
Thank god I work from home definitely moving to Atlanta
Let me know when you are ready. I consult with rentals also. My info is in the description
My friend is from Georgia and live on the coast. I'm from Alabama. they live in Kingsland. It's not super big but its beautiful. Theres a lot of water and grass and trees and when we drive to saint Marys the road that leads to the park where the river is is beautiful. We drive on this road called denmark (correct me if im wrong) to get to their sisters collage. Its just a long road with fields and the blue sky and bright sun. What i like about Camden (the county Kingsland and Saint Mary's is located) is that theres alot of nature and trees and i love seeing egrets which are those tall long white birds. Theres multiple kinds as well in the states!
I truly agree... There are so many beautiful areas in the State. Thank you for commenting. Some really forget that a major city of a state, does not represent the entirety of that state. When you look for beauty, you find it!
Omg I was thinking about moving to Alabama. Can you tell me where is the best place for young couple with 2 dogs.
@@moooobkityy I wish I could just say one city or county but I can't. Only you know what you want in a place to live. But I can't offer any suggestions without knowing more about you. My contact information is in the description.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC I'm just asking for a safe town.
@@moooobkityy Go into the description and schedule a consolation with me. I will be more that happy to offer my experiece.

I moved from NJ to Florida 3 yrs ago. I am still missing up north for their ethnic food. Pizza neither Chinese Food is great down here however I can deal with that. I am just missing the 4 seasons. It's not the same to have a Christmas with no snow. I really wouldn't like to move back to NJ. However, listening to you talking about GA got me curious. I think k I should go and visit.
I don't know were in Florida you are but I do make frequent runs back and forth from GA to Lake Mary Fl and Panama City Beach, FL. You have so much pick from here. If you love the beach, but like it cool sometimes then you go to Savannah GA - If you like flat lands then you stay South GA - If you like some mountain views, streams and water falls, then you stay in Central GA - If you want a little snow every now and then, go to North GA.
If you visit, I don't think you will be disappointed. I like being able to go back and forth.😊😊
I moved to Marietta Georgia in 1990 and saw so many other different parts outside of Atlanta ,I live in Houston now and am thinking about moving back to one of the suburbs of Atlanta
Great! Several areas are building and changing. Let me know if you are sincere in your return.
Don’t
How is Texas
Hi I'm thinking about moving to the Houston area I was wondering if if the property taxes are high and wondering are the property home insurance high as well?
I come S. Jersey and understand, but you have peach cobbler !! Mmmmmm mmmmm good. 😊😊😊
I am planning to move from northern Arizona to northern Georgia in the summer of 2022. The cost of Arizona housing is beyond reach for me and I am done paying high rent. I have also had difficulty making friends in Yavapai County as a single woman with no children. Moving to Georgia was suggested to me by a couple of women: my friend who lives in Virginia and an acquaintance who lives in New York. Last week I reached out to another UA-cam channel to begin my journey to Georgia. Today, I am reaching out to you for your relocation advice. Thank you!

Awesome! Welcome, Welcome, Welcome - I am here if you need me!
I grew up in Millbrook too 😊
169 Cypress Ave!
Agree
I moved to Macon from Jersey about 3 years ago, and I’m ready to go back.
So to see you go if you choose. NJ to Macon, GA is a big adjustment and culture shock.
Why?
@Mikey Dee - What are you questioning?
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC he said he moved from nj to Macon and now he’s easy to move back to jersey...🤔
I'm in sc all the way from jersey city nj been here 14 years and counting
Awesome - I visit the Myrtle Beach area at least twice a year.
I know exactly how you feel about pizza 🍕 missing the great pizza in PA my solution was to make it myself. It's a lot of work but worth it.
Chuck - you are going to have to inbox me your dough recipe! Thank you for understanding.. 🥰🥰🍕🍕🥰🥰🍕🍕🙌🙌
I do miss NJ pizza and cannolis. But the tradeoff is immesurable. Come on down!
In south Jersey thinking about this!
Well, say goodbye Coney Islands if you do... Peaceful journey
@@Gabriel-mg6om what special about coney?
@@Skne91
A Coney Island breakfast is a whole lot better than a McDonald's or even IHOP's.
There's more major franchises here, rather than the variety of different Coney's that offer different tastes. And NO White Castles! That one stung alittle too.

I’m moving to Georgia probably in September
Rush hours are between 12am to 6pm in Georgia
Not in small towns
It all depends on where you are... especially @ 12am?
We are living in New jersey and planning to move to Cumming Atlanta Georgia.. only thing i have been thinking about is humidity and heat..
Good Day to you! That is the least of your concern.. It is not an Arizona dry heat and not a Jersey shore humidity. Not often do we reach a consistent 100°+. This past summer the average temp was in the 90s. Everyone's weather is breaking records in some way or another, but I can tell you this... Your snow shovel will be traded in for leaf pick-up 😂
I moved from Illinois in the Chicagoland area to Georgia 8 years ago and we easily adjusted to the GA heat and humidity but then again we were super tired of the cold so we embraced the heat 🤷🏽♀️🤣🌞
The heat here will kill you. I left Florida thought it would be cooler so much worse here. The heat is triple digits 3 months a year.
Thank you my sista and you should start a migration group of some sort of folks that want to leave the cold and ugly north to the south. I'm so tired of these people, traffic, cost of living and so ready to hop on the first thing smokin and leave!!!! (DMV people drive like they are in a video game and like accidents don't happen where you can be disabled for the rest of your life or die... almost everyone tailgates and are very nasty people)
Awe.. Thank you, I will take you up on that. Stay tuned 😉

Awesome video! Are tornados common out there? Are there any areas that are less prone to natural disasters?
Hi Joseline - GA is far east of Tornado Ally yes we do get so severe weather that blows in from Alabama and there has been a pop up one here and there but not very often.
I used to live in Northern Alabama. Most definitely not. When I lived in Alabama we had tornado warnings literally every year. In GA almost never.
Good to know, How cold does it get during winter?
@@joseline9344 lol... it's warm during winter months. Can get slightly cold sometimes but it stays warm.
I moved to Conyers, Ga in 2007 I was 58 years old and I needed a charge my mortgage and Hoa is less then what I would be paying in New York. I have no
regrets.
I lived in Harlem and the Bronx most of my life. The only thing I miss in New YorI is my family that's when I go an visit them. I stay as long as I want them I go to my home.
Georgia is a great place to live but you have to be careful where you move to like anywhere there are bad areas.
What's my opinion.
Hey Regina - Thank you so much for your comment ❤. I miss my family also and you are right - I love to go visit BUT when I cross that VA line a different type of peace showers my presence. Most of all and I know I didn't mention this in the video - the time I spend with my babies (23y - 10y).
Trust me you should be safer in Georgia
NYC CITY ESP HOOD
@@kingmaafa120 yes it is and the weather especially in the winter is not as bad as New York. I have peace and quiet plus my area is booming cuz when I moved here it was a smaller area not many thing to do or places to go without going out of Conyers(Rockdale county) except the mall (Stonecrest). Now Conyers to me is a great place to live but you must 🚙 be careful there are some bad drivers in Georgia😁😁.

I just moved to Philly from Conyers, GA which is 20 miles east of ATL on I-20. I’ve been traveling to NJ for work and the tolls are a lot. This is the first time in my life ever having to deal with tolls but luckily my company pays for them. But you are right about the pizza lol. I had never heard of the word “pie” to describe pizza until moving up here. The cost of living is higher so I can’t see myself buying a house here but I’m going to enjoy being up here while I’m young. All I’ve known is the south, so seeing a different part of the country is cool to me. NJ is very different, but I’m enjoying the experience lol.

@@bgbg208 that’s what everyone says. But it just depends on your individual salary and job honestly
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC thanks. So far it’s going well. I’ve been going to NYC now too! It’s exciting
I just moved from Philly to Warner Robins, GA😊
Thanks for the video... I'm moving to Atlanta next week from New Jersey as well (Jersey City, Bayonne area).. staying with a family member until I can find my own place and hoping to find a good job... Any tips?
Hi Dappa Don - the best tip I can give you right now (keep in mind this is a blind answer because we have not had a consultation) make sure your credit score is above 630 and derogatory things removed. If you need help with that you may contact me. My info is in the description.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC Ok will do.. thanks for your response... I could really use the help
Feel free to schedule some time with me using this link to my calendar: calendly.com/robertsonsrealty
No way I would pack up and move without a job.
@@naturelover2292 Well there are some things you don't go into blind and I give all the respect to those that know how to ask for help. So to you too - If you are considering relocating, feel free to schedule a consolation with me: calendly.com/robertsonsrealty
Side note: I work with renters also...
Your regret had me bust out laughing very hard. watching from harlem.
It is that serious!
What's a good suburb to live in if you have to work at the airport and you don't want to deal with a whole lot of traffic?
Love it - One of my daughters work at the airport also. How far do you want to be out? Where we live you can take the highway or back roads. Highway 35mins, back road 45mins. - I am west on I20 towards Alabama. Contact me, information is in the description.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC Well if I don't move to Augusta, I was thinking Fayetteville area, or Decatur. No more than 25 to 30 mintues.
@@valeriehaynes3099 Hey☺️…both of us are everywhere 😂😂
Moving to Macon ga from Florida
Thanks for you comment. ☺That is a very interesting move. Do you have family in Macon?
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC no I do not.
I forgot all about the Peach Pass. It was the alternative to the Norths mandatory Toll Tax. Democrats are always trying to find a way to collect more taxes. That's one of the biggest differences between the North & South, your taxes get a lot cheaper. A lot of people hear story's about Wages being lower but what they don't realize is the higher the wages, the higher the cost of living & the lower the wages the lower the cost of living. I would bet your better off in a southern State with less taxes, lower wages & cheaper cost of living. Down here buying homes & land is the thing. I've heard in the North they encourage renting more which is a waste of your hard earned money. Yes the weather is hot & humid during the summer but we don't have harsh winters here & it rarely snows. When we do have a winter storm people usually just enjoy the time off because snow is the only weather we rarely have that shuts things down & it only last a few days. Kids down here pray for snow during the school year. Anyway glad your enjoying the South & able to see that its not what Hollywood & Media up north portray it to be. They talk bad about the South cause they are jealous. Southern Hospitality & Slower Living is better. Also on your police statement I don't think people realize there's a big difference in police that work in high crime areas vs low crime areas. There are a few places around ATL that are high crime where the police are always on edge & if people grow up in areas with high crime that's all they experience but living somewhere the crime is low makes a huge difference in police mentality. I'm really glad you noticed & pointed that out about the police. Sure there's bad cops like there's bad people but the environment is the key.
Wanda - Thank you so much for your commenting. It really means a lot to me. I am a real estate agent and I do have to tell you that I would no longer classify Georgia as 'cheap'. And notice this video is not about ATL either. All the best to you!😘😘
Thank you for the video. Am considering middle georgia warner robins ,Byron area how is west Georgia? Looking for very diverse communities.
Sorry for the late reply - My account was locked?? But I really love West Georgia. I am 30 miles outside of Atlanta, 15mins from Six Flags, 5 mins from the Alabama State Line, Tons of seasonal local farmers to go peach and blueberry picking. And can't forget just 1 hour up I75 into GA mountains during the fall season for apple festival and picking and just 1 1/2 hours into Chattanooga TN
Can I email you personally I plan on moving to Georgia by November and I want to know about areas to live in that are diverse and affordable
By all means, please reach out. Robertsonsrealty@gmail.com
@@vannahs What's your status. You can email or call when you have a chance. My contact information is in the description.
I'm thinking about moving in November. How's the social scene for the 40+ crowd? Were you married when you moved there? I've watched multiple videos and my 26 year old also said dating is horrible in Atlanta area. As a single Black woman from NYC I don't want to set myself up for a dismal dating scene.
Hi Tammie - Wow what a few questions you have.. Feel free to call me... Dating in GA.. Here is my input, there are weddings going on constantly so, there is someone for everyone. I know blanket question. But here is the real, who or what is it that you are trying to attract? because that thing or person will be brought to you no matter where you are on this planet. That person doesn't have to live in the state for the attraction to take place. I was married when I move here - It didn't take long for the divorce to happen - changing location does not remove bad habits. Two years later, I was married again. He lived in West Palm Beach, FL and I was here in Temple, GA - we met through a client of mine that was relocating from Florida to Georgia. There is a little more to this story so I am going to record a video talking about that manifestation. I am going to do it today and I should have it posted by Saturday 7/9. Thank you for that inspiration, you are not the only one that asked.👀👀😘😘
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC I love that explanation.
I just moved to New Jersey. I want to move back. New Jersey not the place I want to live
I definitely understand. Snow and potholes are my motivators for not moving back. What made you return - family, work?
Devon I'm moving out of Jersey! Can't wait.
No Tolls from DC to GA
You know this really sinks in to your soul after about 3 months and your cup holder in your car is full of change. Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I miss the Pizza, and The Italian Hot Dog and Cheese Burger. Uhmm, Uhmm, Uhmm! You have No Idea...
People don't even know what I'm talking about, so I make my own. Sad to say, do you know the closest I could find to the bread is from Walmart's bakery... The hoagie rolls😒😒🤦♂🤦♂But it's good! You sound like you used to go to Angelo's N Gus on Clinton Ave..
I am leaving. VA to ga

People keep talking about hospitality I have not experienced that at all and I have been coming here for over 10 years and live here for now.
Awe... Sorry for you Mike. I do have to tell you that - You get back the energy you give out. Put a little more pep in your step and a smile on your face - unconsciously you have a victim mentality. Lighten your heart and good will flow to you in unexpected ways. Take care.🥰🥰😊😊💖💖
@Mike, I have heard the same thing from so many people. I've even heard that some people are down right mean. There are good and bad in everywhere. People have up and down days so you be encouraged. You continue to be nice despite others.
@@Goodmorningworshippers Well said.. Keep smiling!🥰
You’re right southern hospitality is almost becoming extinct in some areas. I’m born and raised in Augusta, GA. Fort Gordon has grown so much and I currently live in Harlem (small town next door to Grovetown.) Well neither of the two towns are very small anymore needless to say. Yes the people are rude as crap. I absolutely prefer to go across town to shop where most people hate it. My reasoning is because that’s where most of the locals shop. They are the friendliest. Most people will get creeped out because they say it’s ghetto just because of the way people dress, talk, act whatever. I speak a “hello” “how are you” and they always speak back. I don’t judge people based on their life style. They’re humans. In this small town of Harlem and Grovetown you can speak and people look at you in disgust or just simply ignore you. So I feel your pain with the southern hospitality being far and few in between. 😔 Sorry for the rant and I’m embarrassed by it.
@@lisawilliams2313 No worr😍ies - I haven't lived in the entire state. This state is huge, so yes different counties may have different attitudes. But one does not spoil the bunch.
Off Topic, ur Beautiful
Thank you for your kindness.
What are your thoughts of Fairburn Georgia is it a good place to live?
It's a growing area...
Is it decent enough for teenage children?
Hi, I'm very interested in moving to Georgia some time soon. I'm doing my research now and would still like to work once I get there. What are the best places to live for someone like myself, single no children? I'm researching the job situation there in Atlanta but would like to live outside of Atlanta.
I would like to know the answer to this question as well?
@ Dana Ayers and @ Sierra Ellison
That is not a question I can answer until know more about you personally. I myself chose to move outside of Atlanta because my family lived there and I had enough of city living - so I wanted streets without sidewalks and neighbors that wasn't separated by allies. However, there are a lot of well balanced cities in GA. I would love to connect with you soon. Email or text me at your convenience.
@@TenMustardSeedsLLC Hi Sierra, I'm still looking for work here since October 2021. I have family and friends in Atlanta as well as other parts of Georgia. I'm tired of the rat race and tired of looking for jobs I know I'm qualified for. Thanks for reaching out. I'm also looking for some place warmer. I might move to Nevada because I have family there too.
P.S. I live in NY.
@Dana Ayers - Send me an email or schedule some time with me to do a call. I may be able to help you with job search. Word of mouth is better than indeed.com....
Charlotte has good pizza restaurants
Awe, thanks. We aren't talking Papa John's right? 😉🙃
I appreciate your very good video very much.
I bought a nice lot in Southern Georgia and will move there to build a house. I visited once and noticed a lot of pleasant differences from the PNW.
In WA everybody is either a computer geek or lumberjack the way they dress and behave.
Women look like crap in their dark no nonsense clothes and heavy overweight bodies in black stretch pants. Focus is on tattoos, nose rings and blue hair. Nobody talks. People have no conversation skills and literally sneak around each other avoiding eye contact.
If you like a touch of sophistication you are totally out of lack. Even rich people have no class. I always feel overdressed and feel like craving attention in a silly way just for washing my hair and styling it a tad.
I will be looking forward to enjoying Southern hospitality, ladies and gentlemen, people who smile without getting a spasm in their face and will love to look feminine in dresses without feeling like a public soar :) !
I love this video!! I love pizza but I love fried chicken more so I guess I’ll survive 😂
Marcos pizza is so good.
Yes Marcos is good, but for me it still falls in line with Domino's and Papa John. Once you have had an authentic food, you can always taste the difference from the mimickers.. Enjoy and thank you for interacting.
I'm from NYC been here in Houston for a job for over 10 years, may get a job offer in Atlanta, would a salary of 94k be good for Marietta GA, looking to buy a house also with about 75k down
Yes, Yes, and Yes.... Let's talk about it off line. My contact is in the description..
Has anything changed between when you moved and today?
Not really, It gets better and better... Newer subdivisions are being built and a whole lot of warehouses. Need a job? You are definitely going to find one.
Any tips on a moving company?

I hired Belinda based on this video. I was a first-time home buyer and single mom looking to make a better life for myself and my children. This has turned into a complete nightmare for me. Belinda is unresponsive to me as this point. I got screwed so bad.
I met with Belinda after leaving a comment under her video that I too was from New Jersey and was looking to move in the same area she is currently residing. I flew from NJ to Georgia to meet Belinda where I signed her as my realtor. Belinda is very personable and kind, you wouldn't have expected anything less than professional service from her. I told her a bit of my back story how much this meant to me and my family. My mother was terminally ill and my current situation in New Jersey did not allow for her to move in with me for hospice care. I was essentially bringing my mother here to Georgia to die around family and in home not in hospital around strangers.
We saw numerous houses all in the 250K range, she paired with a lender she worked with on previous real estate deals. I was using a USDA loan. This one house in particular she brought to my attention, she mentioned the seller was motivated to sell. I asked her to find out why, but we still went to see the house. After viewing the house she mentions to be that the seller is the daughter of the lender, and that these are good people. I thought it odd and I responded to her by saying you know the lender is black right. Since she paired me with the lender I had to look her up because I know we weren't meeting in person through this process, all of exchanges were through email. The lender is young black woman. There is pictures of the sellers around the house. I thought it was an odd thing to lie about but up to this point Belinda had not done anything odd. I brushed it off and continued with the purchase.
The house was beautiful, needed some minor work but nothing that stood out that this was a money pit to an uninformed buyer. We placed a bid on the house and it was accepted. We back to the house for a second viewing before I had to fly back to NJ. This time the sellers were present. I asked the sellers why did they want to sell. They gave a different reason than Belinda initially provided. They stated they wanted to do a new build. We toured the house for a second time and nothing seemed out of place. The house was fully furnished since the sellers were living there.
Now under contract, I am having questions regarding the septic tank because its 40 years old. She assures don't worry it she put in a contingency that a septic letter has to be provided by the seller. A couple days before the closure, she reaches out to me to sign a amendment to waive the septic inspection. I refuse. She gives me the sob story about how the septic company came out charged the sellers but didn't inspect because of the rain. She tries to ease my concerns that the sellers are good people and they will pumped for me. I respond to her by saying that the sellers have to have it pumped in order for it to be inspected, so they aren't doing me any favors. I told Belinda I would not close without an inspection. I had to reject two of her amendments because she took of the verbiage that the sellers had to provide a septic clearance letter. I was a couple days out from closing I didn't want to walk away but I should have.
I fly back to Georgia for the home inspection. I had a lot of questions for the home inspector because this is my first house I wanted to know things about the home like HVAC and things a renter wouldn’t have a worry about that I now would. Belinda tells me we are going to wait outside while he does the inspection. You will not follow him around, let him conclude his inspection then ask him questions. I asked if we could wait inside so I could remote work while there. The inspector does his thing and comes to find me and he walks through the house pointing out minor issues, like the closet door being off track, and teaches me how to change my filters for the hvac and how to access the attic.
We get to closing day, we do the final walk through. As soon as we walk in Belinda tries a light switch and she says oh they turned the power off. There was one issue the home inspector caught which was the GFI outlets didn’t work, so we couldn’t verify it had been fixed. Belinda insisted she had been present for the repair, they were in working order. We proceeded to closure. After we close we take the documents to the electric company to have the power turned on. We met up later that day I took her and my children out to dinner to celebrate. By the time we got back to the house it was late. I would only have the next day to be in the house before flying back to NJ to finish up there.
I noticed that morning the outlets the sellers were supposed to repair weren’t working. She came over with her husband to take a look at the circuit breaker. He noticed breaker 15 was tripped. She called the electrician the seller hired to do the repairs, he came out and took a look. The electrician was a friend of family on the sellers side, he begins to tell us this story about the live wire in the yard, and when I turned on light switch I sent power to that wire and it shorted out the breaker. He then says he is glad I called because this would have started a fire. He fixed the issue by cutting the power from the light switch to that wire.
Close call but ok he fixed it and I’m one day into this house. I tried changing the locks on the door myself and failed epically, and I had to make it back to airport so I wouldn’t miss my flight. I called my realtor Belinda and she came over with her husband that night after I left and he put the locks back on the door after I left for the airport. At this point I was so flustered after the electrical issue. I just was grateful for the help.
I closed on March 27th but wouldn’t move into the property until ended of April or early May at the earliest due to various issues on my life. I finally arrived and about a week or two here it rained for the first time. It starts pouring through the ceiling. I call out a contractor to come look at the issue, and the first thing they do is go to the roof. The guy tells me I need a new roof and I am in complete disbelief the roof is metal and was put on 4 years ago. I refuse to believe him so I call more contractors out. 6 contractors later they all state yes I need a new roof. They ask me did I not have an inspection done. Of course I had an inspection done he passed it with flying colors. They all say this roof should have never passed inspection.
The way this roof is leaking, and the fact the sellers lived here up to two days before closing there is no way they didn’t know about this. None of the issues I am dealing with 2 weeks into to living here were in my sellers disclosure.
The reason why I am writing this review under Belinda, because I felt she could have done a better job of representing my interest and making sure I got the best house for 250K. Looking back at all of this now the first red flag was when she lied about the seller relationship to their agent. It wasn’t until closing day I found out the seller agent was their mother not the lender’s daughter. 250K is high for Villa Rica, GA she was going to get paid regardless of what house I picked. She kept saying you worry too much. When I wanted to do more inspections, she said oh you just like to spend money I see. I tried to do everything I could to protect myself and it still came to this.
Belinda will not take my calls, nor will the other agent. The lawyer I consulted says I have a case. The lender she referred me told me to report Belinda to real estate commission for investigation. I really hate to do any of this. I am single mom that works full time while in college full time, while taking care of my sick mother. I hate this. The lender spoke to Belinda and stated the reason she won’t take my calls if because I called her a name. For one I did not call Belinda out of her name. I cursed by using the f word, s*** and d****, but I didn’t resort to name calling. Since this was over text I have the proof I didn’t since she we haven’t spoken over the phone or in person. She denied lying about the sellers being the daughter of the lender. She ceased replying to my text messages after I told her I recorded her. She kept insisting so many times I thought it was odd so I started recording our conversations without her knowledge.
This whole situation has left me in a bind. I will have to get the roof replaced and take everyone to court individually. Belinda expressed to me that she was pursing a Florida license for real estate due to the high price point of the homes there. Please take my story as a warning to beware. She made a nice commission of this purchase, and I’m stuck now without an advocate.
Im so sorry that happened to you :( shady people suck. Have you had any success grtting things sorted out?
@@merkitten953 no where near. it has gotten so much worst. I ended living in a tent in the back yard with my kids. we just made one room safe enough to return inside. The house is unlivable. I lost just about all my belongings due to mold. I was only in the house one week before everything went south. She stopped returning phone calls then. I left her a negative review on Google she and the home inspector immediately deleted them. Now she is selling houses in Florida. Your realtor and your home inspector are the two most crucial pieces to buying a home if you have to take legal action after the sale. She knew that and she earned 7k off the commission of the sale. She didn't want to help me and risk losing her commission. I have poured over 20k in 3 months in repairs in house I can't live in. Belinda did me dirty but God is able and will deal with her even if I can't.
@@merkitten953 The strength it took not to choose violence against these people was amazing I felt like I had nothing left to lose. Crazy thing is she lived like 5 miles from me. Jesus had to be a whole fence around me. She ruined my life and got away with it. I had to sit with it without taking vengeance. The main scripture that kept showing up for me was vengeance is mine said the Lord... If not for God I'll be in jail right now probably on death row if I had acted on any of my thoughts. I will keep posting to warn others about my experience with her. I'm working with a new station now to get my story out. I wrote local and Georgia officials about what happened to me. I'm hoping to get some laws changed so this can't happen to someone else. If greed was her primary motivator it really didn't have to be bc we looked at some many houses in a day in the same price range. She was getting a good commission no matter what house I chose. I hope I can get her license revoked in Florida before she destroys someone else life.
