In the wake of profound changes in the lending industry and national trends in real estate, how are market forces affecting Effingham County and the Coastal Georgia area?

Bill Lattimore Jr., president and CEO of the Lattimore Company of Savannah, is a leading real estate consultant and has a wealth of information he will be sharing with Chamber members at their April 2 membership breakfast slated at 7:30 a.m. at New Ebenezer Family Retreat and Conference Center in Rincon.

Lattimore’s company specializes in offering advisory services to developers, builders, financial institutions, health care organizations, landowners and others. The Lattimore Company has an affiliated research arm “Coastal Market Graphics” www.coastalmarketgraphics.com that provides its market data and services throughout the coastal counties of Georgia and South Carolina.

“We think this topic is very timely and we urge folks to RSVP early for this event,” Chamber President Freddy Long said.

“Bill Lattimore’s research is right on target and very most important in today’s development arena.”

Reservations for the Effingham Chamber’s April 2 membership breakfast are $12 each. Corporate tables are available.

The breakfast will be held at 7:30 a.m. at New Ebenezer Family Retreat and Conference Center, 2887 Ebenezer Rd., Rincon, GA 31326. Call 754-3301 or email the Effingham Chamber at Effingham@alltel.net.
